@Crusadinggoonie: By continuing to edit-war over this section you risk being blocked from editing. Policy is quite clear on the matter: it's up to you to provide appropriate sourcing for what you want to add, before it can be added. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:12, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

"Old New Synagogue"

Not sure if someone selected the wrong photo or what, but there is an image of the Old New Synagogue captioned "with rungs of the la leading to the attic", but there is no ladder anywhere in the photo. Yes, it's the same synagogue, but the caption is totally confusing. I found several other photos that actually show the ladder as described, and which would be much better choices for the caption, so readers don't have to waste time poring over the image trying to figure out where the ladder is, and then going to the article to try to figure out the mystery.

I undid the edit that changed the photo. If reverted, it definitely needs a new caption. --Onorem (talk) 23:38, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Golem in popular culture: Games

There are a lot of games Golem exists in like Terraria and Minecraft and you should add it like other popular culture. 176.59.164.169 (talk) 11:37, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

There's also golems in the diablo series. https://diablo.fandom.com/wiki/Golem 90.246.31.66 (talk) 09:53, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello there! Thanks for the input. This article is not meant to collect all appearances of golems in games (and other area), because that would lead to an indiscriminate collection of data and so violate the encyclopedic nature of Wikipedia. We do want to collect appearances discussed in reliable secondary sources, ideally with commentary. Fandom as usergenerated content without editorial oversight does not count in this regard. More details can be found at: Wikipedia:"In popular culture" content. If you should know fitting secondary sources for the games you've mentioned, it would be really helpful if you could post them here. Or just boldly add them yourselves.
