 == References == 
 This article fails to comply with academic standards when it comes to references, hence Chicago Manual of Style. The article contains this, several places: 7.^ Neusner 2003, p. 227, 8.^ a b Melton 2000, pp. 28. I also find it academically dubious that this article has little or no references to the original material, and that references with ""hearsay"" are supposed to enter by default as in ""finding something on them"", the blind persecution by idiots! Do you mind amending, please?   "
