GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

Please see MOS:REPEATLINK. There are a number of duplicate links and irrelevant links.
knowledge of Hebrew philology = over linking. We don't need links to Hebrew (nor philology) here, it is already stated he is a scholar revitalising the usage of Hebrew as a written language.
In 1787 he moved to Berlin, then the centre of the Haskalah movement. Over linking. We don't need a link to Berlin. Haskalah is already linked in the infobox.
became friends with the Me'assefim and → already linked in the lede
links to Syriac and Greek are superfluous
in Vienna as proofreader in the Hebrew presses → Vienna, proofreader, presses do not need links.
German revision of his Talmud by Salomon Jacob Cohen appeared in Berlin → Berlin does not need a link. Nor does Vilnius.
was translated into Italian by Leon Romani → Italian is a common word, does not need a link; ditto Russian in the same sentence.

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

and received a traditional religious education. This sentence links to Jewish education. The text should say this. Simply 'religious education' is misleading.
Good work on references.

Appropriate coverage of Ze'ev's contrbutions to Me'assefim and his role in the Haskalah revival of the Hebrew language.
Linking to Graf-Wellhausen is excellent, as it places Ze'ev most properly as a Hebrew critic using Historical criticism.
Jewish Virtual Library says that he was basically a failure as a poet?

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:

It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

This is a good article, not over-written, sharp and concise.
There are excessive links in the article; when these are corrected (and the education reference) the article would achieve Good Article status. --Whiteguru (talk) 08:04, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
