“Jews wrote the Bible, founded Christianity, and had an indirect but profound influence on Islam.”
Not only does this sentence contain somewhat misleading (or at least incomplete) phrasing for the first two parts, but the language itself seems to be leaning towards ]. The preceding sentence is sufficient.

Please change "After the Exile, the term Yehudi (Jew) was used for all followers of Judaism because the survivors of the Exile (who were the former residents of the Kingdom of Judah) were the only Israelites that had kept their distinct identity as the ten tribes from the northern Kingdom of Israel had been scattered and assimilated into other populations."

" After the Exile, the term Yehudi (Jew) was used for all followers of Judaism, because the survivors of the Exile (who were the former residents of the Kingdom of Judah) were the only Israelites that had kept their distinct identity as religious jews; the ten tribes from the northern Kingdom of Israel had been scattered and assimilated into other populations."

I am not the original author, but it seems that the intent of the proposed change would just fix unclear writing, not add/remove any factual information. 45.37.105.227 (talk) 19:27, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
I understand what you mean about clarifying, where it reads "had kept their distinct identity", their distinct identify as what. But do we know that they were all "religious"? Or do we know only that they continued to identify themselves, distinctly, as Jews, in contrast with the descendants of the other tribes? Largoplazo (talk) 12:21, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
Non-White Jews
We all know full well there are such things as Arab Jews. Why is there no data on all the Moroccon Jews? They all exist. But we only recognise the Ashkenazi Jews (Modern Israel Jews) Issue resolved MjhdNfl (talk) 00:48, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
Not the only Israelites that had kept their distinct identity (See: Samaritans)
Name and etymology: "After the Exile, the term Yehudi (Jew) was used for all followers of Judaism because the survivors of the Exile (who were the former residents of the Kingdom of Judah) were the only Israelites that had kept their distinct identity as the ten tribes from the northern Kingdom of Israel had been scattered and assimilated into other populations."
“Jews wrote the Bible, founded Christianity, and had an indirect but profound influence on Islam.”
