Paragraph

For some reason someone stuck in a paragraph about some people signing an affidavit. I don't see how this was significant nor do I see any comment about how this was handled, if it was actually filed. There are also no actual sources (pictures of affidavits are not sources).

Someone named Bloger is now edit warring to keep in the unsourced paragraph. Enigma^msg 20:34, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He has been edit-warring for months over it and refuses to discuss it on the talk page. Enigma^msg 05:11, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Horrible grammar

Bloger continues to restore poorly written junk to the article, refuses to discuss it, and reported me to AN/I. Wow. Enigma^msg 16:44, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

בְּרִית מִילָה is pronounced as Berit mila rather than brit mila.

The word בְּרִית in בְּרִית מִילָה is should be pronounced as bErit rather than brit, since the letter בְּ is with "shva na" (Hebrew vowel like e) rather than "shva nakh" which is not pronounced. It's a common mistake that now also documented on Wiki and misleads people that doesn't know well Hebrew. 93.126.116.89 (talk) 18:50, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The shva might be a shva na But it is pronounced weakly or not at all due to yiddish influence. Carenymre (talk) 15:56, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Broad City

User:bus stop removed my edit, I don't understand what is wrong with "drew attention to". Causing Bustle to write an article about the show's description of it sounds like drawing attention to me. How would you describe it? Ash Carol (talk) 20:12, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The source does not support the assertion. Your assertion was that "Season 3 of Broad City drew attention to the practice in 2016." But nowhere in the source is support for that assertion. Please feel free to cut and paste to this Talk page material from that source which you feel supports the assertion that "Season 3 of Broad City drew attention to the practice in 2016."

New Testament?!

Why is there a section close to the top about the New Testament? Brit milah is a Jewish practice. There is no need for Christians to insert their takes on the subject in an article about Jewish practice. I understand that it is true that Christians have historically adopted or interpreted these customs, but the tone of the section implies that the practice is just as important and relevant to Christians as it is to Jews. I think it is out of place where it is. Similarities with Islam aren't mentioned until section 8; doesn't it make more sense to place the Relevance to Christians section alongside it? Edit: I'm supposed to sign, apparently? Hopefully I did it right this time. 66.44.8.229 (talk) 02:43, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Antisemitism?

I'm on the phone and also am inexperienced in Wikipedia editing. However the first part of the article seems to be biased against orthodox Judaism. Carenymre (talk) 15:59, 31 March 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Dear all,

Agreed, this page has extreme bias or in wikipedia jargon NPOV issues. For interested editors, here is a source which may be beneficial in correcting this https://www.academia.edu/21731836/Circumspection_an_Inquiry_into_Brit_Milah
