Talk:Babylonian Talmud
Where should this page redirect ?
[edit]The article Talmud is about the Babylonian Talmud, as stated in its header. There is also a section "Babylonian Talmud" in that article. Various editors changed the target of this redirection - either to the article or to the section inside the article. I changed it to the article, since that is the most simple solution, and since a reader searching for information on the Babylonian Talmud will need the whole article, not just the section.

- @JorgeLaArdilla: I reverted your edit for the reasons given above. But of course, we can discuss it. --Rsk6400 (talk) 09:47, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Rsk6400: I was reading Biblical and Quranic narratives and followed through the link. This led to a tradition in the Babylonian Talmud in which the angels object to the evils that humans will commit in the future, which may be the source of the Quranic narrative. {{sfn|Reynolds|2018|pp=35–36}} I am a typical user of Wikipedia in that I only read the Opening paragraph (possible only opening sentence) before looking at the contents page. Hence I missed that Talmud that I have heard of is infact the Babylonian Talmud, despite the fact that it is bolded. I suspect the others did the same? The Biblical and Quranic narratives sentence would be better amended to just "Talmud"? JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 06:33, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
- Babylonian Talmud is there in boldface in the opening section. I'm not sure what more we can do to make it clearer. I think the specificity in the "narratives" sentence is appropriate, if that material is not in the Jerusalem Talmud. Ibadibam (talk) 22:12, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
