I am not sure why the article was cut in half but please provide further explanation on this. Thank you and please if you have specific comments post them and I will address them as best as I can. -Ka Yaffa —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ka Yaffa ( talk • contribs) 17:10, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello Ka Yaffa. I suggest you start doing the test edits for your project on a less contentious subject. You filled up the article with extremely non-neutral statements based on sources that do not comply with Wikipedia policy, repeated the same information several times and introduced passages that were not written in proper English. The photo layout was unattractive and did not illustrate the subject. The purpose of Wikipedia is to write well-sourced, well-written articles in a neutral tone. Your input to date has been non-neutral, sensationalist, politically slanted, repetitive and poorly worded. You have introduced WP:SYNTH (applying some generality to the specific case here, with no reliable source making that connection), and given coverage to certain incidents that is excessive in the context of an article as short as this. Additionally, non-English sources should be replaced with English ones as you can find them, so that readers on English Wikipedia can access them. I hope this explains why the article was copyedited and revised, and will help you in further productive editing. Good luck, -- Nopleazy ( talk) 11:09, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
KaYaffa, this is English Wikipedia. If you use Arabic sources, you are required to provide a translation, as per Wikipedia policy. See WP:NONENG. Please refrain from ascribing any personal agenda to me. I am not a member of any project. I am here to improve the encyclopedia content of Wikipedia, and that should be your goal, too. Please remember that this article is not a forum for airing the "sentiments" of Ajami residents expressed through letters to a local newspaper. -- Yespleazy ( talk) 07:06, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I just posted a draft of my entry on to the website and welcome any advice, comments or criticism. I would love to keep building on and improving this page so please let me know if you think it needs more work/editing or feel free to do so yourself as well.

Hi, I just finished reading this article, and wanted to say a couple of things. It is a very interesting read, and a good general overview of the topic, so thank you. It has certainly inspired me to do some more research on the topic. I wonder, what has happened to the Ajami mosque after the Israeli authorities 'annulled' its Waqf status? Also, I see there is an external link the Peres Center for Peace, but I wonder what existed before the Center was built? I was also interested to read about the Arab-Jewish Community Center, and it led me to think about the co-existence of Palestinian and Jewish residents in Ajami. Are there efforts to improve the socio-economic situation of the Palestinian residents? One final thing from me, having looked at the other comments and also the history page, it seems that there have been a number of cuts and edits to the article. It is not for me to comment on whether these cuts were fair or not, but bearing in mind this is a difficult topic to tackle, I think Ka Yaffa has done very well in improving the article. I see that this article is part of the WikiProject Israel. What about adding Wikiproject Palestine, just to give this article the objectivity that is advocated by the Wikipedia community?

I think this page should be added to the Palestinian Wiki Project, since it addresses an area that was part of historic Palestine until 1948 and a number of Palestinian folks still live there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ismee ( talk • contribs) 00:27, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
The Term "Palestinian Arab" should be stricken from the "Gentrification projects" section since these "Arabs" 1. have Israeli Identity Cards and are registered as Israeli citizens 2. an Arab State of Palestine does not currently exist. To label them "Palestinians" just because they identify as such does not make it a reality. At this point in history they are Arab citizens of Israel or "Arab Israelis" weather they like it or not. If nationality was based on with whom one identifies or what one feels fine... but nationality is based on international laws etc... 29 March 2011 (UTC) Abuboo —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.43.142.217 ( talk)
This source which is used as the only source for some key information at the start of the article, does not seem to me to satisfy WP:RS. The sources it names, starting with a tourist guide, don't inspire extra confidence. This needs replacing. Is there any other source for a Maronite beginning? Zero talk 02:00, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

I think a map of Ajami neighborhood would be beneficial for the article. Also some demographic data's about population composition is lacking. Tritomex ( talk) 23:52, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
