For the sections of Christianity, Judaism, and Sikhism for Women and Religion, those three sections are lacking in content that seems to be apparent in the other religions listed. In Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism they speak of the roles women are expected to play in these religions where the other three lacked and tended to generalize the religion and talked more about the men's roles in opposite positions of women rather than the women themselves. More religions would also be beneficial to the content of the article to help show women in other cultures more than just their roles in just the popular world religions.

Major religions are mentioned but other religions can be added to the article such as new religions, African religion etc.Aleslie plu (talk) 21:55, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with Aleslie plu: African religions plural. One may speak of African Traditional Religion in general, but there are many forms of ATR across Africa which have significant differences. I would also mention the religions of Native Americans, both North and South. I may be able to contribute something on ATR; will try when I have time.

I have attempted to balance, as fairly as I can, the impression that Christianity is overwhelmingly patriarchal. I have expanded the last paragraph under Christianity with a few lines indicating to what extent Christians do support women in leadership in the churches.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Women and religion's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 12:10, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
