The photograph of Prime Minister Distraeli on the main page is identified as a portait:
"Portrait by Cornelius Jabez Hughes, 1878"
However the photograph itself correctly states:
"Earl of Beaconsfield, K.G. Photographed at Osborne by Command of H.M. The Queen, July 22, 1878 [Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)], 1878, Glossy collodion print on card"
It is a photograph. 2001:1C00:1E31:5F00:900D:4CE1:3B74:4276 ( talk) 14:22, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
Hello! I added an image of a chair that Disraeli had made in case of a win in the by election. This is part of a pilot project from the National Trust, further information is here & further images are here Lajmmoore ( talk) 18:23, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
This article is on my watchlist, and I notice that there seems to currently be an edit war over this category's inclusion on this article. (By the way, the category is at this moment a candidate for Speedy Deletion Category:Jewish conservatives.)
The bone of contention seems to hinge on Jewish ethnicity versus Jewish religious belief or practice. While it is a fact that Disraeli was unquestionably ethnically Jewish, he was an Anglican from the age of 12, and therefore a Christian rather than a practitioner or believer in Judaism. Since Category:Jewish conservatives has no description at the top of it, we have to decide which is meant (only one of those two -- practitioner of Judaism or ethnic Jewishness -- or either of those or both of those). It could be that since politics and religion are both optional belief systems, what is possibly meant by "Jewish Conservative" would be practitioners of the religion of Judaism rather than also those who by accident of birth happen to be ethnically Jewish. I suppose we could take our cues from whatever the inclusion criteria are for Category:Jews by political orientation, but that may be confusing or inconclusive also.
Pinging Dimadick and Wehwalt to discuss here (if necessary) rather than edit war any further. Softlavender ( talk) 00:15, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
