Talk:Jewish views on lying

Notablility, essayish?
Hmmm. I do have concerns whether this topic meets WP:GNG and doesn't fall afoul of WP:ESSAY... thoughts? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:28, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * There are similar articles already on Christian and Muslim views on lying (taqiya). I do think the subject meets GNG, based on multiple reliable sources that discuss the subject. If you have any specific suggestions for improvement, please let me know... (t &#183; c)  buidhe  02:19, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Three exceptions: Numbers 2 and 3 seem self-explanatory, but number 1 does not. I think the article would benefit from an explanation as to why it is permissible for a Jew to lie about being familiar with a part of the Talmud. Joefromrandb (talk) 16:22, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Keeping regular user in mind: link to Bible passage and English before Hebrew
Immediate links to the actual biblical text is always needed and readily available, no need to force users to do additional searches. There are a few Wiki articles offering the actual verses in an easily visible position, in those (few) cases a wikilink does the trick, but most don't.

Also, I have the vague impression that a majority of potential users of English Wikipedia might not be practicing Jews :))), therefore I would suggest that generally, when the topic is a particular Bible verse shared by Jews AND Christians, the Bible passage is of interest, not (just) the parasha & discussion in Judaism.

The English term should always be presented first on English Wikipedia, it's the norm and a logical one. As much as not everybody looking up Islamic terms shouldn't be automatically "educated" in Arabic, or even much more so, as the Hebrew Bible also works as the Christian New Testament. Everything else, I may suggest, is sectarianism and cultural missionising - or isolationism.

Thank you, have a great day, and happy holidays Arminden (talk) 10:36, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
