What is the source for saying shnayim mikrah being said after friday morning davening?

Tone/NPOV

I'm uncomfortable with the quasi-Haredi prescriptive tone of the article. Not that I think the various customs and halachot relating to the practice shouldn't be detailed, but the way in which this article does so is not appropriate for an encyclopedia article.CharlesMartel (talk) 00:35, 8 July 2015 (UTC)CharlesMartelReply

Primary sources

edit

This article contains far too many references to primary sources. Using the Talmud and various halacha books as sources means that the article will be biased in favor of how you interpret them. Independent secondary sources are sorely lacking in this article. Please note WP:PRIMARY which states unambiguously, "Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation. A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge. For example, an article about a novel may cite passages to describe the plot, but any interpretation needs a secondary source. ... Do not analyze, evaluate, interpret, or synthesize material found in a primary source yourself; instead, refer to reliable secondary sources that do so. Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them." --PuzzledvegetableIs it teatime already? 13:41, 4 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Most of the content for which the primary sources are used is in fact "straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge", so I don't see what needs to be changed. If any primary source is used inappropriately somewhere in the article, you can point that out specifically. Ar2332 (talk) 17:01, 25 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
