Review commentary

Messages left at Arj and Judaism. Sandy 14:51, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

This article has deteriated drasticaly since becoming a FA. It has POV issues as well as other disputes. It too long and has no subarticles. (It should bne noted that even being too long it isn't even close to being comprehnsive enough. It should have dozens of subpages.) It is very poorly referenced, and many of the statments in the article are true or false depending on what denomination of Judaism they are made from. (Which is POV in itself. It should say "Denomination X belives this"). In addition, the external links section is way too long. In short, this article has major problems. Tobyk777 04:30, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: Two-and-a-half years since this became FA. If the original was indeed better, is it worth pulling it up from the history and trying a "merge-revert" (i.e., the best of the old, while retaining new material)? This would be initial step, and then citations would have to be tracked down, as that is the obvious absence. Marskell 10:35, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• Remove featured status. Criteria for featuring have become a lot tighter, and the present article is not sourced, is overloaded with fringe nonsense and fails several other content guidelines. I would drastically cut down the "reasons for the dietary laws", as most laws have no satisfactory explanations and others should be dealt with independently (e.g. yayin nesech). I would increase the amount of factual information (e.g. what measures are taken to avoid milk and meat mixing) and reliable academic material as to the social/economic/political impact. David Macht should be mentioned, but not in a whole long paragraph (I have independently confirmed his notability). JFW | T@lk 15:36, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• Remove featured status unless the article is significantly improved by the end of the review. It's just not up to par with other FAs. Kari Hazzard (T | C) 17:39, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - This is FA review, not FARC. Check the FAR/C guidelines before commenting. Onto the article... it has a lot of "so and so" says this, and "so and so" says that, but nothing to back up the claims. Inline citations (1. c.) are needed to address this.

FARC commentary

Suggested FA criteria concerns are POV (1d) and references (1c). Marskell 09:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

• Remove. Largely uncited, external link farm, mixed reference styles, dispute tag, and poor prose (sample sentence, "This is the same reason why the usage of the term "kosher-style" became frequently used in the food industry, from delis to restaurants, and even street vendors.")

• Remove - Lacks sufficient inline cites (1. c. violation). LuciferMorgan 11:27, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
