GA Nomination

As far as I can tell, the article was previously delisted as a Good Article because of a lack of inline citations, instead using references. This problems seems to be largely fixed by now, 13 years later. While I do understand that the guidelines have shifted since then (this article might still be unstable), I do think it's worth a shot at nomination. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 21:04, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:GANI, editors who are not significant contributors to an article are supposed to consult on this talk page with those who are prior to making a nomination, not when doing so. I'll be reverting your nomination until the consultation concludes with a consensus one way or the other. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:23, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, interesting timing. Right now, its Passover... the central act of identity and salvation in Judaism. I am happy to take a look over the next day or so. --Whiteguru (talk) 01:45, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Whiteguru: quasi-orthodox jews are mysterious that way :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 06:35, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Jayjg, La comadreja, and DayakSibiriak:

On sources. The article is full-filled with refs to self-published personal sites like "Judaism 101". While you all know about Judaism, there are quite many academic papers out there. I've corrected the situation in the Jewish Religious Movements page, and started here too, but the edit was rolled back. I didn't try for replacing sources anymore. As it stands, the article is ugly sourced, i.e. unsourced. But text is not bad. DayakSibiriak (talk) 09:12, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 31 March 2021

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I want to add these titles to the general bibliography:

Michael Tilly, Burton Visotzky: »Judaism I: History« (= Religionen der Menschheit. Vol. 27,1), W. Kohlhammer, Stuttgart 2021, ISBN 978-3-17-032579-1.
Michael Tilly, Burton Visotzky: »Judaism II: Literature« (= Religionen der Menschheit. Vol. 27,2), W. Kohlhammer, Stuttgart 2021, ISBN 978-3-17-032583-8.
Michael Tilly, Burton Visotzky: »Judaism III: Culture and Modernity« (= Religionen der Menschheit. Vol. 27,3), W. Kohlhammer, Stuttgart 2020, ISBN 978-3-17-032588-3. Briumi (talk) 20:30, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please get consensus to add these before requesting an edit. On that vein, what do people think about adding these to the article's bibliography? I have no idea if these books are notable, legitimate or anything else. Thanks. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:45, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

All three books seem to have been just published (2021!). I would like to wait a bit, get these red links possibly turned to blue somehow, and have at least a short review of each one at hand, before adding them so fast. warshy ^(¥¥) 00:51, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Books in the bibliography should only be those used in building the article. If these are added, if would have to be as "Further reading". Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:52, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bookfinder lists no books with the ISBN 978-3-17-032588-3, given for the 3rd volume. [1] Still to be published? Also, the two published books appear to be written in German, and would not be appropriate for adding to "Further reading" on the English-language Wikipedia. It's one thing to use other language sources in building an article, it's another entirely to reccommend to English speakers an other-language book to read.

Christian missionary pretending to be a rabbi

Is this WP:UNDUE?Editor2020 (talk) 01:14, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, very definitely. If every story that made it to the news that in some way or another involved a rabbi was added to this article, it would have thousands and thousands of sections. ‑‑Volteer1 (talk) 09:46, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Secular Judaism comes too short in lead

Hardly mentioned, and millions are part of it. Arminden (talk) 06:55, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
