[edit] Naming and notability

Greetings. Notability -- established by the assertion of an emerging new field, evidence of extensive recent publications, work by AJS, etc.

Help with list of gender and Judaism theorists etc?

Change name to Gender and Jewish studies?

Thanks muchly. HG | Talk 20:51, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Agree Gender and Jewish studies would better describe it. By long custom, the term "Judaism" has been used in Wikipedia articles to refer specifically to matters of religion and terms like "Jews" or "Jewish" are used to describe a more cultural or ethnic sense, which what the article is aiming at. Best, --Shirahadasha 00:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Come to think of it, since it fits in very nicely with Category:Judaic studies in academia, how about Gender and Judaic studies? Best, --Shirahadasha 03:48, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Naming should be based on the most common terminology. My initial reaction was based partly on the RRC initiative and partly on my own impressions. Also, I suspect the article say much more about Gender and Judaism/Jewish (culture/history) -- i.e., the findings or debates in the field, not merely the academic activity, with summary style units to the women-related and lgbt articles.

PS -- the importance shouldn't be over-rated. If the article is limited to the academic activity, the importance is rather low, if it's about the subject matter then I agree it is high. HG | Talk 15:18, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

‎→ bugzilla:012900 · "linkify ISBN: foo and ISBN: foo, bar, etc. beside ISBN foo_bar" —Preceding unsigned comment added by לערי ריינהארט (talk • contribs) 22:21, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Dear friends; Please remove « : » after « ISBN » because of the MediaWiki parser:

ISBN: 9780881259711.<br />
ISBN 9780881259711.<br />

generates:‎
ISBN: 9780881259711.
ISBN 9780881259711.

One can see that the second example generates the special:Booksources/9780881259711 link but the first does not. Best regards

Thanks, לערי. Colonectomy done. Onward to the next procedure... HG | Talk 06:04, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

FYI:

1. I have seen ISBN references using spaces as ISBN 0 88125 971 3
2. In order to identify some of the pages refering to a book I use links as
   google: as_sitesearch=wikipedia.org&as_oq=0881259713+0-88125-971-3+9780881259711+978-0-88125-971-1
   such a search link would not identify ISBN 0-8-8-1-2-5-9-7-1-3

Best regards
