[edit] Expanding article?

Could use some citing of sources. Much of this sounds like opinion.

I appreciate the research and work that has gone before on this article. But the current version seems like a stub... and needs external citations, a good bit of elaboration... and something about the tone is unsettling but I can't put my finger on what.wasserperson 20:09, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Until 14 August 2006 this was a disambiguation page. I am not absolutely sure it should be an article. -- Petri Krohn 07:41, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I think the phrase passes the notability test, but it really needs a careful sociological approach.wasserperson 20:09, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dab page

I think that the "other uses" on top should be integrated into this article. The Russian and German versions include the Marx, Sartre, philosophy, and history in one article. After adding the Bauer reference at the bottom- I saw that many of the other needed references were available onthe other uses pages. --Jayrav 16:38, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree, that the issues listed on the disambiguation page can and should be covered or referenced on this page. It does not how ever mean that we do not need a dab page or the "other uses" link. -- Petri Krohn 23:01, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

IMHO only two pages are needed The Jewish Question and The Jewish Question (disambiguation). This article and Jewish question (disambiguation) should be merged into one of the two I mentioned. Abtract (talk) 18:19, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Contemporary Issues

I'm probably just stupid, but what's a "FSU"?

Also, this section seems ripe for expansion. Surely there is more contemporary discussion of this important (if aberrant) historical phenomenon? Eaglizard 19:26, 30 August 2007 (UTC

The Former Soviet Union ? Albion moonlight 09:48, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Well that seems more likely than "Florida State University" lol Thanks Eaglizard 15:58, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Jewish question (disambiguation)

• I have done major reconstruction to this page - which has not been touched in ages. --Ludvikus (talk) 20:40, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

• This should be the Lead or {{Main}} article. --Ludvikus (talk) 20:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

• It is important for Wikipedians to participate in the discussion currently taking place above. --Ludvikus (talk) 20:40, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "gentiles"

It is no longer scholarly to use such a word "gentiles", or "goy", or "goyim" or "yid", or "negro, or "nigger," for obvious reasons to those who are sensitive to the issues involved. Yet it keeps reappearing in the article. Please discuss the matter here before its re-introduced. Thanx. --Ludvikus (talk) 10:24, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

'gentile', however, is not a derogatory term, unlike the other words you listed above.PrinceOfCanada (talk) 20:52, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Jewish question

• In view of the complexity of the issues involved with the juxtaposition of these two terms, I with to propose the above as a projec.
• Also, I propose that we maintain this Article page as the {{:Main|Jewish question}} page. --Ludvikus (talk) 11:58, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
• Can anyone advize me on the syntax of '''{{:WikiProject Jewish question}}''' (in other words, how does one start such a project)? --Ludvikus (talk) 11:58, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] POV?

What precisely is considered to be non-neutral? Huon (talk) 21:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

To understand that, start by looking at WP:NPOV --Steven J. Anderson (talk) 21:50, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Huon was asking what in this article is considered to be non-neutral. The "POV" banner says "Please see the discussion on the talk page." Ludvikus placed a "POV" banner on the article without identifying his POV concerns in his edit summary or on this Talk page. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 00:56, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, in retrospect I should have made my question clearer. Indeed I meant to ask what part of this article is considered non-neutral. Huon (talk) 13:29, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tags

I switched around the tags a bit. Firstly, I put the expand and cleanup tags once at the top, instead of at the top of almost every section. I also changed the pov tag to a pov check tag. This is more technically accurate as there is no discussion, the point of view cannot truly be said to be "disputed". 24.20.131.232 (talk) 06:43, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
