Being a latecomer to the article, I'm unclear exactly who is committed to the article and what they are committed to. I've heard a good deal from those in favor of the "myth" title, but not so much from those opposed.

These are not the same place, so I undid your redirect of Beneberak to Bnei Barak. As you can see in the source cited in Beneberak (which I also added to Bnei Barak, the latter was founded 4 km to the south of the former. Ancient Beneberak now lies under the waste treatment center of Hiriya, where the Palestinian village Ibn Baraq/ al-Khayriyya used to be until it was depopualted and estroyed in 1948.

Someone has created a list of Muslim athletes and asked for review: Wikipedia:Requests_for_feedback#Muslim_Athlete.
I have not responded, but my initial reaction is the same as User:Reconsider the static. My very quick search did not uncover a similar list for Christians or Jews, but there is this: Fellowship of Christian Athletes Do you have thoughts, or can you pass this on to someone who might? My guess is that there has been discussion of the broader issue - to what extent should religious based articles or lists for categories other than religion be included, but I haven't been a part of those discussions, so I hope that either you have, or know someone who has. It's obviously a sensitive subject, and I don't want to run roughshod when I have no special knowledge of the issues.-- SPhilbrick T 13:50, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
Avraham, what the f**ing ell do you think you are doing blocking a whole region of scotland because you personally can't deal with one idiotic contribution: [ [2]].
YOU PERSONALLY HAVE CAUSED ME TO WASTE AN HOUR AND A HALF OF MY TIME trying to find out what I could possibly have done to get myself blocked from normal editing. If this is the kind of heavy handed approach you use to all your admin edits, then may I suggest you are largely to blame for inflaming the situation and causing people to spam.
If someone did what you have done off the internet, I'd be calling the police for anti-social behaviour. Seriously, this is not acceptable behaviour for law-abiding society. You don't just condemn a whole population because of the crimes of a few. Now please unblock me right away and apoligise - not only to me, but to the thousands of other people you think it is alright to use collective punishment! Isonomia ( talk) 14:49, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Now Nahmanides is criticizing Judaism too? This is utter nonsense, the kind of view that could only come from someone completely ignorant of the topic on which they write.

Avraham, I didn't see any part of the text as a direct quote, but rather a slant against Messianic Judaism.

I've asked multiple times for you to come up with a list of topics that would fit under the subject of Criticism of Judaism. If you feel that the properly sourced information doesn't fit under the subject, then can you please propose some alternatives that can be worked on?

I hope you will support me in my proposal to pull the wikiproject Judaism banner from the said article and pull any support of fixing it. I truly believe this is in our best interest to show once and for all what kind of a POV-pushing article it is when left with those that have an unhealthy obsession with working on it and other negative-aspects Jewish articles. I personally dont see why an editor who ONLY works on negative aspects about a religion is allowed to continue to edit, obviously there is a COI and we know about at least one editor working on that article who has a big history of anti-Jewish article creation and editing.
