Securehope's "copyedit"
A user named Securehope has deleted the better part of a paragraph that describes the redaction of the Hebrew Bible and marked this edit as "copyedit, mostly punctuation." If this is an accident, then Securehope should remember to use the sandbox page, which lets users see how their edits will affect an article before executing the changes they have made. If this is not an accident, then Securehope should read the article "NPOV" to learn more about how and why Wikipedia strives to cultivate a neutral point of view, rather than a point of view that assumes the direct receipt of the Hebrew Bible from God.

Arabic
In the intro sentence, the Arabic script for Ezra is given, and lacks an /r/, or the Arqabic equivalent thereof. Is this correct, the Arabic equivalent for Azriel really is something like Azeel? Someone who knows more than me might check this out. PiCo 06:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC) (Slightly later: yep, it's Uzair. We live and learn.)
Just removed a minor inconvenience of mild vandalism. Perhaps it needed to be added to another article. 142.150.142.76 02:01, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Ruth and acceptance of converts
According to the second paragraph under Relation to the Book of Ruth, that book may have been written in response to Ezra in defense of marrying converts. Yet it's only stated that Ezra opposed Jews marrying gentiles who did NOT convert. Where's the conflict? And what is meant by "Ezra's reform"? The prohibiton against marrying non-Jews is mentioned already in the Torah and in the prophets and neither is it presented as an innovation in the book of Ezra itself. It seems all Ezra does is enforce the law, which had been ignored by many for some time. Shajats Itel 08:18, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
