Talk:Levy (surname)

Detail
Will somebody please expand on “specific social status in the structure of a traditional Jewish community“? I am trying to understand more about the specific social privileges being referred to. Isabelpedia (talk) 14:55, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

There is no good reason to separate Levi from Levy

Origin
, I'm going to revert your addition again. We follow the WP:BRD process - you were Bold, making an addition; you got Reverted. The next step is not to edit war, re-reverting to your preferred version; it is to Discuss.

The reason your addition is being reverted: a) it's patent nonsense. Levy may be a name of Gaelic origin, but it is absolutely also a name of Hebrew origin. Your addition does not acknowledge that whatsoever. Furthermore, looking at your addition:

What has Coen got to do with this article? Nothing, it shouldn't be there. Why is there a quotation mark before 'Gaelic'? Run-on sentence; there shoudld be a full stop, or at least a semi-colon, after 'surname(s)'. Is Mac con Shléibhe correct? Why is the 'c' in 'Con' not captitalised? A sentence starting 'which have a foreign appearance'? Really? And the rest of that sentence is nonsensical. Just because something is in a book we can use as a reliable source doesn't mean it's correct. MacLysaght clearly didn't know many Jewish people, or didn't understand

A certain amount of copy-editing is absolutely to be expected - gods know I make enough typos myself - but I should not have to correct five different grammatical/spelling errors in the one sentence!
