I was being blocked on editing and everything was reverted, many glaring inaccuracies remaining in the article. I was accused of not discussing first on the discussion page before editing, and a term paper by a Harvard Law Student quoting chunks of a non-available secondary source (book costing $1 400) was not acceptable (""a term paper is not ok for Wikipedia""(although thírd-hand quotes from the BBC and newspapers were). I had rewritten the article (as an anonymous non-signed in user) from top to bottom and it was reverted, and every subsequent minor edit was reversed. As I researched the existing references in the footnotes I could see how selective the writers of the article had been, and started to discover that the main points in the reference material had been glossed over and omitted, and peripheral information (such as Grandin's memory of horrific conditons that are no more) presented and headed as Criticism [presumably of shehitah as such] Rather than thinking to the bottom of what had happened historically, it was a cut-and-paste job of whatever happened to supprt one POV. When Jews have been living in Sweden since the 1700s, they were banned from slaughtering because they were regarded as not being properly Swedish, Lapps could slaughter with a knife because they were ""Swedish"" and this matter is dealt with by Ethnologists and Anthropologists, but totally absent in the article. It matters not that one cannot follow the discussion there was no proper discussion. Much of what I complain about has been fixed now. Best
