Joseph: Wikipedia isn’t one person. It is open collaboration. Thus, it is well researched and self-correcting on well known entries.
Once again. Smichah isn’t the sole criterion. It is supposed to be an indicator.
The Chofetz Chaim was a town rabbi, a leader of a Yeshiva, and most importantly a major Torah scholar. That is enough to earn the title.
My question to you, once again, is considering that you don’t view smichah with any legitimacy, what criteria do you consider necessary for the title rabbi? Is it just the beard or being a rebbe?
