Abrahamic Religions[edit]
The Abrahamic Religions page has a section on Judaism that is sorely lacking and is ahistorical, describing Judaism's origins in a distasteful and inaccurate way. I tried updating a few sentences in that section last night and there is an editor monopolizing the page so I want to invite other subject matter experts on Judaism to contribute to the article instead of getting into an editing war.Nycarchitecture212 (talk) 15:26, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- There is nothing at Abrahamic religions#Judaism which isn't mainstream academic knowledge. If you seek to remove mainstream academic knowledge from Wikipedia, you're in for a rocky ride. tgeorgescu (talk) 02:33, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
Should a BLP describe keeping kosher and observing Shabbat as "traditions"?[edit]
Emily Austin (journalist) states that she "follows Jewish traditions such as keeping kosher and observing Shabbat". Is this the correct phrasing? Or perhaps something stronger like Jewish law, or even commandments? ☆ Bri (talk) 18:40, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Your wording sounds fine to me. Sdkb talk 20:11, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- Reading the sources (I also added one to the page) I think "traditions" is right. She's never said that she follows anything systematically qua law, and she seems mostly to relate to the rituals. Quite normal for spiritual types without comprehensive religious education, which tends to push people into some sort of specific identity with regard to Jewish law.

Discussing the Inactivity[edit]
I recently joined this project and noticed that it appears less active. The last new article was in 2021!
Could the inactivity stem from a lack of contributors with expertise in Judaic studies, or are there other factors at play? I am very interested in everything regarding Judaism and eager to discuss what can be done to reinvigorate the project. Progoees (talk) 11:21, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- I've noticed other wikiprojects I follow the talk pages of have also had a decline in activity during this time. I'm not sure if it's specific to this one. Working together is good but I'd say it shouldn't just be reinvigorated for its own sake but for the purposes of getting informed comment on issues you're encountering in articles.
