Debbie Weiss (December 4, 2024). "Wikipedia's Quiet Revolution: How a Coordinated Group of Editors Reshaped the Israeli-Palestinian Narrative". Algemeiner Journal. Retrieved December 5, 2024. In an article on "Jews," for example, an editor removed the phrase "Land of Israel" from a key sentence on the origin of Jewish people. The article's short description (that appears on search results) was changed from "Ethnoreligious group and nation from the Levant" to "Ethnoreligious group and cultural community."

Please change "After the Exile, the term Yehudi (Jew) was used for all followers of Judaism because the survivors of the Exile (who were the former residents of the Kingdom of Judah) were the only Israelites that had kept their distinct identity as the ten tribes from the northern Kingdom of Israel had been scattered and assimilated into other populations.[57]"

" After the Exile, the term Yehudi (Jew) was used for all followers of Judaism, because the survivors of the Exile (who were the former residents of the Kingdom of Judah) were the only Israelites that had kept their distinct identity as religious jews; the ten tribes from the northern Kingdom of Israel had been scattered and assimilated into other populations.[57]" ZucherBundlech (talk) 12:46, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am not the original author, but it seems that the intent of the proposed change would just fix unclear writing, not add/remove any factual information. 45.37.105.227 (talk) 19:27, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand what you mean about clarifying, where it reads "had kept their distinct identity", their distinct identify as what. But do we know that they were all "religious"? Or do we know only that they continued to identify themselves, distinctly, as Jews, in contrast with the descendants of the other tribes? Largoplazo (talk) 12:21, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We all know full well there are such things as Arab Jews. Why is there no data on all the Moroccon Jews? They all exist. But we only recognise the Ashkenazi Jews (Modern Israel Jews) Issue resolved MjhdNfl (talk) 00:48, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
