This stub has been unsourced for 15 years. It risks being deleted. It's a controversial topic, so I'm not going to merge or source it myself. Please add reliable sources. Bearian (talk) 02:22, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Default" version of Judaism

I recently learned, contrary to my prior assumptions, Judaism is not nearly as o/Orthodox as I had thought. In fact, Pew research says that the Reform movement has the plurality in the US, and while it's not the majority, none of the other branches come close. And while the data isn't super recent, they also say that almost half of Israeli Jews are secular. With this in mind, I've been surprised at how much the default point of view on Wikipedia articles has seemed to favor more conservative or orthodox views. This feels like while it's not the biggest problem ever, it isn't quite fully in the spirit of the neutral point of view standards Wikipedia aims for. When editing, I would recommend making sure it's clear who or what branch of Judaism is speaking about which claims and especially checking to make sure we're including liberal and conservative theological opinions at the same level of authority.

Hebrew fonts

If you look at a page like Shema, the portions enclosed in {{langx}} use a different font than those in {{Script/Hebrew}}. {{langx}} uses sans-serif, while {{Script/Hebrew}} uses serif. Does anyone know of any rhyme or reason for that difference in font?

I know {{lang-he}} was replaced by {{langx}} back in October, and I have no idea what font {{lang-he}} used to use. I also know {{Script/Hebrew}} says it shouldn't be used on text passages, but that might not reflect its real use on wikipedia. Apocheir (talk) 22:41, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to contradict Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Hebrew). For that matter, why is the transliteration so weird? Apocheir (talk) 20:27, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
