FAR for Rudolf Vrba

I have nominated Rudolf Vrba for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Z1720 (talk) 18:57, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Create official watchlist?

@Andrevan et al. Do you think I should create a WP:public watchlist for the WikiProject, comprising all articles under WP:Jewish History's scope? I just figured out how that works, and it's quite useful at times.

Somebody would have to help me add a link to that subpage next to the other widgets above, though... I don't know all that much about modules. Biohistorian15 (talk) 13:41, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

@Biohistorian15:, if you are talking about the index tabs at the top of the page, that is generated not by a module, but by transcluded subpage Wikipedia:WikiProject Jewish history/header. If you have a look at it, you will see how it works, and probably be able to edit it yourself; see Template:Start tab for instructions. If you need additional assistance, just ask again, and someone will come by and respond. If I misunderstood what you were referring to, please elaborate. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 14:35, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Implemented your suggestion; I hope it's useful. Pretty obvious in retrospective... Thanks, @Mathglot! Biohistorian15 (talk) 15:46, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Nice! Andre🚐 18:50, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Well done, and that is helpful; thanks! Mathglot (talk) 23:47, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Request for input on Hasmonean dynasty

I highlighted an area where I am concerned Wikipedia is out of date with scholarly discussion on Hasmonean influence on Jewish religious practice. Soliciting learned wisdom. Talk page link here. Jprg1966 ^(talk) 02:39, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

2 discussions

2 discussions could use additional input: Talk:Modern_Hebrew#WP:OR_in_lede, Talk:Judeo-Arabic_dialects Andre🚐 10:29, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

The former is an RFC now (Talk:Modern_Hebrew#RfC:_Introduction). Andre🚐 19:52, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

RFC: Talk:1948 Arab–Israeli War#RFC for Jewish exodus

This RFC might interest contributors of this project. Andre🚐 19:51, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Expert needed: Gerard Gertoux

This newly mainspaced relatively extensive article deals significantly with the Tetragrammaton, a Hebrew theonym, covered in its own article, and verifiability, dueness, neutrality of content needs to be reviewed by editors with relevant knowledge. The article could have elements of a WP:POVFORK. Please take a look at the content to see if there are any major issues. The talk page discussion is at Talk:Gerard Gertoux#Requires editing. Thank you—Alalch E. 12:31, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
