First year with Kislev extending into January?

(flipped a coin between asking here and in RD/Misc) After trying to describe when Hanukkah is to a non-Jew, the question came up of given the *gradual* drift of the Hebrew calendar relative to the sun, in which year will the last day of Kislev first occur in January?

Feedback and advice wanted on Template:Bibleverse

I'm rewriting the template and would like some feedback on my ideas, and advice on undocumented features. I seem to recall this WikiProject was looped in the last time major work was done on it. Come to the talk page! EnronEvolved^{My Talk Page} 13:22, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Titles of rabbonim

I'm not so clear what is the policy for using titles of rabbonim? Because a lot of articles refer to rabbonim as Rabbi ______, but someone used MOS:CREDENTIAL to call all rabbonim by their first name here? Does it depend on whether it is the first time reerring to him and subsequent use? Yeshivish613 (talk) 21:15, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I cited MOS:CREDENTIAL. "Rabbi" belongs in the honorific slot of the infobox, and once in the opening line ". . . was a rabbi". Further use doesn't provide any new information and is against our style guide. This is an encyclopedia. GordonGlottal (talk) 23:12, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, I'm referring to when the article referenced other rabbis (not the subject of the article) which you removed their title to just say their full name. Yeshivish613 (talk) 23:14, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

According to your reasoning @GordonGlottal, when mentioning rabbis for the first time in the article (such as the Steipler, Chazon Ish and others in the article you reverted) they should have a title? Yeshivish613 (talk) 02:55, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, that's precisely where MOS:CREDENTIAL applies. If it's directly relevant to why they're being mentioned in the article, say "who is a rabbi". But no one gets a title just because they have a title. GordonGlottal (talk) 14:47, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

K-T-B

This is a fascinating article, but ... This has been unreferenced for over 15 years. If it's notable, then find and add reliable sources. If not, then please do us a favor and nominate it at WP:AfD. I alerted the linguistics community and an editor questioned its notability. Bearian (talk) 02:19, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weekly Torah portion articles

I've been looking at various Weekly Torah portion articles and have found that they have major WP:OR problems in common in the "In classical rabbinic interpretation" and "In medieval rabbinic interpretation" sections, which in all of the articles I've reviewed cite solely to the Talmud and various medieval rabbis, respectively. Likewise, they all have lengthy "further reading" lists and lots of uncited paragraphs. voorts (talk/contributions) 19:06, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Possible list of sages of the Talmud

I'm considering on writing a Wikipedia list of every sage in the Talmud but I'm not entirely if this would be possible. Can I have some opinions on this idea? ―Howard • 🌽³³ 20:29, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
