As far as I can tell, none of them meet the requirements of WP:RS. Before I remove them, is there something I've missed? Jayjg ^(talk) 22:36, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and removed them pending clarification of their reliability. --brew crewer (yada, yada) 16:08, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How about [1]? Yoninah (talk) 21:16, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What is the basis for its reliability? The author is unknown and it does not appear to have been published by any reliable entity.--brew crewer (yada, yada) 14:54, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dates

Hi all,

I started reading this article closely in order to translate it into French, sorry for weird formulations in the message below.

The references concerning Miriam Shapira-Luria point to her either being active in the 13th century, or the 14th, or even 15th.

Sources dating her into the 13th century :
- [2] ("[...] lectured in rabbinics and Talmud in Italy in the 13th century")
- [3] (Scroll down to the top of the page after seeing her name : "She lectured [...] in the 13th century")
Source dating her into the 14th of 15th centuries :
- [4] teaching to men during "probable dates [for this] are between 1425 and 1450, but there is no confirmation for the report"
- [5] ("teaching in Padua in 1350")
- [6] (as she is mentioned in there as the grandmother of a man reported to be born in 1510).

So I will go ahead to modify the article so it reflects she might have been living in the 13th century. My English might be awkward, feel free to rephrase.--FirTre (talk) 11:59, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
