In his recent additions, 24.47.182.229 covered three topics:
I have reworded and shortened the New Amsterdam paragraph, mentioned Goldsmid where he is relevant, and removed the Agobard-Torquemada paragraph. Huon ( talk) 12:05, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
I don't know the history (if any) about why the current title was chosen, when clearly it fails COMMONNAME since virtually all sources call it "Jewish disabilities". But I can guess: I think it's very likely that it was chosen in order to avoid confusion with physical (or mental) disability in the modern sense. If that was the genesis of it, the motivation was good, but the solution is a poor one: for one thing, it doesn't really resolve the ambiguity, and secondly, it doesn't correspond to what reliable sources say. I'm not sure what the best solution would be, perhaps a different kind of parenthetical disambiguation, like Jewish disabilities (Middle Ages), or Jewish disabilities (medieval law), or some such. Any suggestions? Mathglot ( talk) 20:00, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved per clear consensus. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Srnec ( talk) 02:11, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
Disabilities (Jewish) → ? – Cleanup of Template:Disputed title, which is currently at WP:TfD. Two alternative titles have been suggested: Jewish disabilities (medieval law) and Jewish disabilities (Middle Ages). TompaDompa ( talk) 12:29, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
