Observations

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b ( MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
  • References do not belong in the Infobox. Preference is that references go into the body of the article. Matters that are in the Infobox belong in the Lede. See WP:INFOBOXREF.
  • Reference 4 to Levenson 2012, p3 goes nowhere. Might be best to remove this.
  • Reference 7 is a dead link, most likely a permanent dead link as there is no archive.org version
  • Abrahamic primarily ethnic religion → I don't know that this is primarily an ethnic religion as the history in Tanakh strongly indicates it is fully ethnic
  • the collective religious, cultural, and legal tradition and civilization → traditions
  • Reference 10 is a vague and irregular form of reference.
  • Reference 11 and 12 do not cite page numbers nor access dates.
  • Reference 13 appears to be outdated and superseded by Reference 5 in the Infobox.
  • Reference 14 does not cite a page number. It goes to a limited preview in Google books. The assertion of beginnings from Rabbinic Judaism is at risk, since sources examined thus far tell that Rabbinic Judaism, the normative form of Judaism that developed after the fall of the Temple of Jerusalem (ad 70).
  • Reference 15 requires subscription.
  • Reference 16 should (now) link to https://torah.org/learning/basics-primer-torah-oraltorah/
  • The link to Kariates immediately after Reference 17 goes to a WP page section which is tagged no sources. In this instance it is much better to use Reference 18.
  • Reference 25 is suspect; it is a summary for students and does not cite any sources about Judaism and the Bronze age. This page has been archived by the BBC since 2016 and is not updated. It loops.
  • Reference 26 goes to a copyrighted image which has been obliterated. There is no source on that page about 500BCE
  • Reference 27 has been archived by the BBC and does not directly link to religion and ethics.
  • I am not altogether confident that all 59 pages of Reference 30 are relevant.
  • Reference 34 is outdated by Reference 5, World Jewish Population, 2018. Some rewriting is necessary.
  • Paragraph 2 of the lede is too long. From Major sources of difference to the end of this paragraph, this material is best placed in the body.
  • There is overlinking in the Lede. Consider the need to link to common words such as religious, cultural, legal, Jewish people, covenant, commandments, liberal, Middle East, Bronze age. See MOS:OVERLINK.
  • Consider MOS:LEAD
  • Consider MOS:LEADLENGTH
  • "Summary: the Lede needs significant editing and updating.

 

Defining Characteristics and Principles of Faith:

  • Is this statement Rabbinic scholar Max Kadushin has characterized normative Judaism as "normal mysticism", supported by all forms of Judaism? Ultra Orthodox, Chabad, Hasidic, Reform?
  • Reference 43 is a mention of other papers. It is not a direct citation. The conclusion to this paragraph needs to be supported with a direct citation.
  1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a ( reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c ( OR): d ( copyvio and plagiarism):
  1. It is broad in its coverage.
    a ( major aspects): b ( focused):
  1. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  1. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  1. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b ( appropriate use with suitable captions):
  1. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
  • Given the issues raised in the Lead, this article requires significant editing and updating before it can be considered again for GA status. -- Whiteguru ( talk) 04:21, 15 August 2021 (UTC) reply
