Deathdate
Wellhausen died on 1918 January 7. Someone has correctly harmonized the English and German Wikipedias. Richard David Ramsey 03:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Inaccurate generalization of Wellhausen's approach
From Chronic2 (talk) 15:08, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
The phrase "uncompromising scientific attitude" as applied to Wellhausen's studies in this article is questionable. Recent scholarship has better characterized his approach as a "deductive" methodology. The use of "scientific" is inexact and inappropriate, since it has not been demonstrated that Wellhausen used the scientific method, as defined in the relevant Wikipedia article, in his writing. To be accurate and in accord with scholarly studies of his work, the phrase should be changed to "uncompromising deductive method." Citations should be given that define more specifically Wellhausen's approach, and further citations showing how he used this approach to reconstruct Israel's history.

You has removed the this section from this Article. You gave POV as the reason. It is a substantial part of the article. I am not an expert in this field but I think that the article has lost a lot of useful information. What about reinstalling it and marking up the sentences that you believe are POV.
