[edit] Identical category?

What's the difference between this category and the new category Category:Judaism-related controversies? --Wassermann 06:05, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cat:Christian and Jewish interfaith topics

Why is it assumed that Judaist controversies will automatically involve Christians? The Muslims have a good few of them too! --MacRusgail 17:51, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Standing between two mirrors

The category Jews and Judaism-related controversies contains the subcategory Christian and Jewish interfaith topics. If you click on the + to open it, you find the sub-subcategory Jews and Judaism-related controversies, which contains the sub-sub-subcategory Christian and Jewish interfaith topics. This could go on indefinitely and runs the risk of causing a discontinuity in the time-space continuum or creating the butterfly effect or something. Could someone who understands how categories are supposed to be organized fix this? --Steven J. Anderson 07:54, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Not all Jews and Judaism-related controversies are Christian and Jewish interfaith topics. Actually the same may apply to the converse, too. —Ashley Y 09:00, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] do all these subcats really belong here?

I question the wisdom of including some entire categories here. Surely not everything relating to Modern Orthodox Judaism or Reform Judaism is a controversy, for instance. I think it would be much better to mark specific articles detailing/highlighting the controversy to be included here. OTOH, categories like Blood libel are created specifically to encompass the controversy. ⇔ ChristTrekker 16:03, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
