What are we doing with this: Mass Exodus. Redirect, merge or separate article?

The instance in which a large group of people, animals, or objects attempt to leave, evacutate or move to a different location.

  • Some famous exodus include the jewish exodus from Egypt to the promised lands.
  • Refugees ussally partake in exodus from troubled lands.


It’s not an exodus unless it’s a mass exodus.

Redirect, merdge or seperate article?

Che!

Book of Exodus

Is there a reason why the name of this article does not start with "Book of"? All the other articles in the Old Testament category start that way, except for four of the five books of the Torah. If there are no objections, I'll have it changed.

Leave as is

Because of its controversy there is a lot of scope for expanding it, so I believe it should not be merged.

Woodcuts

Epiphyllumlover, you seem to be on a general woodcut-spree, and in this article you are definitely over-doing it. Please reconsider. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:26, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Let me finish first, okay? They are beautiful woodcuts. Too bad the articles aren't longer for them.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 11:30, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
Moderation. This article is not a Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld gallery. But consider making a woodcut-galley in that article. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:32, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Edit war

@Fajkfnjsak: Are you Fretheim? Then what do you change the abstract of what Fretheim stated? Do you think that the WP:CITEd WP:RS does not WP:Verify the claim? Then say so, instead of going into wild tangents about objectivity. Tgeorgescu (talk) 04:41, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

@Tgeorgescu: Misplaced Pages is not a record of anyone's interpretation of purpose of religious text, Fretheim or anyone else. The article should remain neutral. As an encyclopedia, wikipedia, presents educational information about Exodus, from Freithem or otherwise. The rest of that sentence is an analysis of Exodus from Fretheim. But "the purpose" is a subjective personal religious experience. Fretheim's personal belief about what he thinks the purpose is should not be included as it is not an academic analysis. The way I phrased it and the citations I include present a neutral academic view.
I cannot find this in our WP:RULES: avoid the word "purpose" although Fretheim clearly states that the Book of Exodus "is not socially or historically disinterested". Tgeorgescu (talk) 05:01, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
