Protected edit request 13 February 2022[edit]

Please add, on a new line after {{Redirect|Jew}}, new hatnote {{redirect|Jewry|people with the name|Jewry (surname)}}. Narky Blert (alt) (talk) 12:38, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Hatnote states:
  • However, if a notable topic X is commonly referred to as "Foo", but the article "Foo" is not about X, there must be a hatnote linking to the article on X or linking to a disambiguation page that contains a link to the article on X.
  • Ideally, limit hatnotes to just one at the top of the page or section. Multiple hatnotes may be appropriate when they serve different purposes, such as disambiguating topics with similar names and explaining redirects.
I do not believe a disambiguation page for the surname "Jewry" is sufficient to have a prominent hatnote for this article - especially as that disambiguation page has two entries, and no additional information about the surname. The liklihood of anyone looking up "Jewry" to look for a list of articles about people with that last name (i.e. all two of them) versus looking up this page is so remote and unlikely as to be virtually nil. Instead, my suggestion is that it might be appropriate to add it to the "See Also" section of Jew (disambiguation). Singularity42 (talk) 22:05, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jews did not have an influence on islam 82.37.83.180 (talk) 21:52, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. Reliable sources say otherwise. Singularity42 (talk) 21:56, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The single source for Jews having had "a profound influence on Islam" is an obscure book by an unknown author that only has 1 rating on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Three-Monotheistic-Faiths-Christianity-Analysis/dp/1434368904. 2600:1010:B01D:1E0D:5499:DAE:AB52:CD52 (talk) 01:10, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
More details and references are found at the article specific on the topic: Islamic–Jewish relations. Singularity42 (talk) 13:32, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Word "patrineal"[edit]

I believe "patrineal" as in the article is just a typo of patrilineal, and even if it isn't, it makes more sense in the article in analogy to the use of matrilineal. I can't edit the page though, so would appreciate if someone else could do this. AllenY99 (talk) 18:57, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done: thank you for noticing that. Antandrus (talk) 19:00, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
