Yahweh
Hello. I've reverted the changes you made to "Yahweh" on several places. Whatever the origin of the term, it is a term in conventional use. Replacing it on the basis of it being misguided is like replacing "island" with "iland" all over Wikipedia because the "s" was added centuries ago to the word "iland" in the mistaken belief that it was related to the word "isle" and should properly have an "s". Also, Wikipedia doesn't use euphemisms or follow taboos. "God" is written "God" here, and any use of "G-d" would eventually be revised. The same is true of "Adoshem" in any context where the term itself isn't the topic being discussed. (And surely you realize that יהוה doesn't actually spell "adoshem".)

 * I agree. The J source is known as Yahwist in English language sources, and I can't find the word Adoshemist anywhere. Please avoid such edits in the future. Doug Weller  talk 13:26, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
