Will somebody please expand on “specific social status in the structure of a traditional Jewish community“? I am trying to understand more about the specific social privileges being referred to. Isabelpedia (talk) 14:55, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Darkdiamond12, I'm going to revert your addition again. We follow the WP:BRD process - you were Bold, making an addition; you got Reverted. The next step is not to edit war, re-reverting to your preferred version; it is to Discuss.

The reason your addition is being reverted: a) it's patent nonsense. Levy may be a name of Gaelic origin, but it is absolutely also a name of Hebrew origin. Your addition does not acknowledge that whatsoever. Furthermore, looking at your addition: Levy and Coen are "Gaelic Irish surname(s) levy is from Mac con Shléibhe of Longford origin. which have a foreign appearance but are nevertheless rarely if ever found indigenous outside Ireland" according to Edward MacLysaght.

What has Coen got to do with this article? Nothing, it shouldn't be there. Why is there a quotation mark before 'Gaelic'? Run-on sentence; there shoudld be a full stop, or at least a semi-colon, after 'surname(s)'. Is Mac con Shléibhe correct? Why is the 'c' in 'Con' not captitalised? A sentence starting 'which have a foreign appearance'? Really? And the rest of that sentence is nonsensical. Just because something is in a book we can use as a reliable source doesn't mean it's correct. MacLysaght clearly didn't know many Jewish people, or didn't understand

A certain amount of copy-editing is absolutely to be expected - gods know I make enough typos myself - but I should not have to correct five different grammatical/spelling errors in the one sentence!
