Talk:Lists of Jews
Note to Wikipedia: This is a massive list of Jews I picked up from the top of my head. There are probabley much more, but these are the main influencial Jews that I can remember. You should probabley alphabetize this, and add those spiffy links.
- fixed erratic capitalization; changed Jesus from 'founder of Catholicism'<!> to 'namesake of Christianity'; changed description of Daniel Pearl's death from 'executed' to 'killed' and resisted changing 'killed' to 'murdered' (is there a consensus on this vocabulary? surely it must come up again and again!). Also more or less alphabetized. No doubt this will be a difficult page to maintain. Someone else
Do you feel there's any doubt that Pearl was murdered? "Killed" could imply anything, such as "killed in an auto accident."
No, I don't feel any doubt, but 'killed' is the neutral term. I suspect if I changed it to 'murdered' someone would change it back to executed, which wrongly implies legality. Which is why I asked for a consensus... Someone else
Added lots of links (very tedious work), added Charlie Chaplan... And I think Daniel Pearl was executed, if anything. And yes, I would change it to executed, but you'll just change it back to killed. We have a stalemate : P. I was thinking that eventually, we should catogorize the list (once we get more Jews on this list). Just a thought. Mike Sarfati
Why is Daniel Pearl famous? The act was infamous, but in reality Pearl was perhaps a very good journalist but virtually unheard of prior to his execution. Too, why are the lists being made according to race like this or Blacks etc?.... DW
