Controversial?

As silly as it may seem to a non-Jew or even a non-Orthodox Jew, this is a controversial subject. Even as a semi-observant Jew I am aware of competing opinions about the source of the dye. I also recognize that statements on this page about what is and is not chilazon, and also about the supposed debunking of Reb Radzyner are both highly opinionated and lack references.

Also, the article [Tzitzit]] deals summarily with the controversy, stating

At some point in Jewish history, the source of the dye was lost and since then, Jews have worn plain white tzitzyot without any dyes

Meanwhile, immediately to the left of this statement is a photo of a tzitzit with blue threads and the caption "A set of tzitzit with blue tekhelet thread."

And yet at the end of that article (Tzitzit) are external refs that attempt to point to a variety of opinion...even though within its own text it points to this article (Tekhelet) as being the "main article." Confusing...they should probably be combined, corrected and redirected.

Under other circumstances (i.e. if this were a non-religious subject) I would dive in, do the research and rewrite the article. I am, however, not interested in fighting about edits *and* about the religious laws and controversies of my own faith (COI and all that). As such, having recused myself, I am writing this to bring the issue to the attention of the Jews and Judaism project and to any brave Wiki-souls who would take it as a challenge to sort this out.

OK, I deleted the word "tekhelet" of the above-mentioned caption. (The blue thread in the photo might or might not indeed be "tekhelet" ). -- -- -- 01:17, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

section under title "Other applications"

This section does not belong in this wikipedia-article, and should be moved elsewhere. -- -- -- 01:31, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Upload picture

I could upload a picture of my Tallit, it has P'til Tekhellit. The tallit and tzittzit Were made and tied in Israel Bnei-Brak and certified by the Haredi posek Shmeul HaLevi Wosner Rabbi of Zichron-Meier, Bnei-Brak. I even still have the posek's seal if you need that as proof or evidence. You can find more about the Rabbi here on wikipedia even. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shmuel_Wosner

I was rather surprised to find my certifying Rabbi to not only be a posekim but a rather popular one at that. --Teacherbrock (talk) 16:58, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is your Tallit different from the one pictured in the article? -- -- -- 23:27, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

argaman

What source is there for claiming that argaman also came from the chilazon? Tkuvho (talk) 11:45, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

References

Someone please edits the first few references to the Rishonim (Rashi, Raavad, etc.) and where they make these statements about how many strings that are blue.
