message: Um, the Jewish Encyclopedia is public domain. Read the first sentence of the homepage.  I just started working on the article, attribution would have been coming soon in any case.  Please remove copyright notice. --Goodoldpolonius2 23:16, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Some disambiguation needs to be done with the links, particularly with the links to the various kings and emperors.  If I get a chance in the next couple of days, I'll take a shot at it. ArglebargleIV 03:02, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

message: It's the first time I write in wikipedia, so sorry if this is not adequate. I saw the name "Alcalá de Guadeira" and I dont know if that was the name in the past, but nowadays it is "Alcalá de Guadaira", and there is already a small article about it.
Fregenal must be Fregenal de la Sierra, but there is no article yet in English.

message: I broke up this section into three subsections, The Moorish Conquest, The Caliphate of Cordoba, and The Taifas, without any change to the body of the text. My goal was just to create smaller chunks for easier editing in the future. The existing structure of the text seemed to suggest these three parts.
Anybody better acquainted with the page and topic than I am, please revise the partition and the subsection titles as necessary.

message: I just swung by and the phraze "...Leviticus 29.2 makes reference to the return of the Diaspora from Spain by 165" caught my eye. I am not sure what is intended here, since - to my knowledge - Leviticus was written with some probability between the year 922 BCE (the death of Salomo and the breaking of the one Kingdom) and mid fifth-century (probably not after the exile ended with Kyros conquering of Babylon in 539). That the authors of Leviticus would mention second century Spain seem sort of strange, not to mention - Leviticus only has 27 chapters...

message: raquel samper director community jewish murcia 
less than 2 percent of jews in spain today even understand ladino. We speak castellano. Not hebrew or latin just castellano.We study hebrew as israel is our point of origin but we dont speak it. . But to say jews in spain speak(present tense) ladino is absurd!! do the koplowitz sisters know ladino? fernando shwartz? not even the rabbi in madrid knows ladino.
Most dont know hebrew except for 14 israelis now  permanently living in murcia  Starbucks cafe owners.
the comunidadjudia jewish community in murcia  is 463 and we are castellano speaking.We here are jews from spain ,decendents of jews here. We dont know ladino. Its folkloric  and a few know it like you know latin.
i guess the tourist jews will come here to meet the ol world jews and wont they be surprised to see our internet fiberoptic .I guess one might say we SPOLE ladino or it was the spoken language.
btw we speak very good English as well. Our kids go to israel to learn english ,  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.38.17.233 (talk) 22:35, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  the jews speak ladino 

message: I don't find any allusions to crypto-judaism, id est, the Jewish forced conversos who kept their tradition secretly inside Spain during the 17th and 18th centuries; they were publicly Christians, but in the secret of their homes and hearts, they retained their Jewish cultural and religious identity. Perhaps Ms.Samper could add something interesting about this matter.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.67.174.130 (talk) 12:54, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

message: no mention here to the third option;killing of jews.
Jews who didnt leave or convert were killed by the soldiers. They were not allowed to be killed by neighbors but the soldiers picked them up and they disappeared. How many? word of mouth goes that it was in the thousands as many too old to leave too stubborn to convert were killed. spain today is very different and the j community is 62000 as of 2008. The king of spain in youtube quotes that jews have always been and are a part of spain,not nostalgia.I recall in 1991 in the peace conference in madrid yitzak shamir spoke of the killing of jews 5 centuries ago in spain. spain today is modern and there are 62000 jews here growing intergrating and yet maintaining identity as spanish jews as opposed to spanish catholics .

message: The comments (I couldn't qualify them otherwise) about a 'flourishing' of economic life in Spain after the expulsion of a large part of Sephardic Jews is all wrong -the Taula de Canvis (the Royal Bank of Valencia) went bankrupt two times due to the dramatic lack of liquidity caused by the massive capital outflow the deportation generated.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Laocoont (talk • contribs) 08:00, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

message: This article has been deemed so-so, apparently because of the lack of citations.  That makes sense.  When I contributed sections about Iberian Jews during the Roman and Visigothic eras, inline citations weren't the standard on Wikipedia like they are today.  So I've pulled out my documents and am in the process of adding inline citations.  I'm about 1/2 done.  Hope I'm in full compliance with Wikipedia citation standards, but my agenda is primarily to get the stuff out there. Ex0pos (talk) 06:26, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
