Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Page has currently been suffering from repeated sockpuppeting/meatpuppeting going back to at least July of this year[1][2]. Recently blocked user has confirmed that the initial sockpuppet user has been canvassing people off-wiki for the specific purpose of obtaining desired edits ("The bibliography and call for experts was circulated by someone with whom I have an academic affiliation and who said she'd been blocked when an aggressive revert resulted in the removal of dozens of hours of her work"[3])

Indefinite full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Can we just indefinitely Fully protect this as written? I think that would make this a lot easier for all. Or at least make it a month. Iljhgtn (talk) 04:17, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Indefinite semi-protection. Far too much vandalism. Here are some of the recent vandalisms within the last 50 edits: [4]; [5]; [6]; [7]; [8]; [9]; [10]; [11]; [12]; [13]; [14]; [15]; [16]; [17] (and four more vandalism edits from this user, but I won't include them); [18], all within the past 50 edits. I'd like to work on this article undisrupted too, so I'd appreciate if we could semi-protect it indefinitely to prevent future vandalism like what's happening now. 750h+ 12:23, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

Reason: This article is related to Judaism and has been the target of repeated disruptive or biased edits. Due to its connection with religious and political topics covered by ArbCom’s Arab–Israeli conflict area restrictions, I’m requesting extended-confirmed protection to prevent further edit warring and maintain neutrality.
