The Battle of Jerusalem took place during the First World War and resulted in the city of Jerusalem falling to British Empire forces in December 1917. On 11 December, Edmund Allenby entered the city on foot out of respect for the Holy City, becoming the first Christian to control the city in centuries.

Ensured that the article is within project scope, tagged for task forces, and assessed for class. -- Rosiestep ( talk) 04:52, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Although this article is titled "Battle of Jerusalem", very little of its space (5 sentences) is devoted to the actual battle (tactics, developments, specific casualties, etc.). Far more space is devoted to what happened afterwards; even Allenby's entry into the city seems to be afforded more prominence. Can more about the battle itself be added? -- Piledhigheranddeeper ( talk) 18:31, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
Glad to see this article is being improved, but adding large amounts of copyrighted material lifted straight from books about tangential matters is problematic. Readers who get to this article want a description of the Battle of Jerusalem, not the whole history of the conquest of Palestine. This information can be linked. Also, there is no need for 4-5 references for every statement. One solid source is sufficient, or at most two.-- Delishisoup ( talk) 06:46, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
All the British unit names in this article are from the Second World War era and not suitable for a GA class article. Attempts to change them have been reverted by one user, can I direct you to WP:OWN. A such I believe it will never progress beyond a poor GA. Jim Sweeney ( talk) 04:08, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
Regarding your "Revision as of 21:48, 7 December 2011 (edit)delete section as its not unique to that one regiment all light horse etc have it" I'm glad you did. It was a hang over from the article before it was edited up to GA standard.
The Queen's Lancashire Regiment is not light horse its infantry.
Therein lies the reason why I have painstakingly added in the word 'infantry' because its so difficult to keep the mounted and the infantry clearly identified in this all arms engagement. -- Rskp ( talk) 07:30, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
The battle of Jaffa redirects here and is included in this article. As Jaffa is around forty miles from Jerusalem [1] and recognised as a separate battle by the award of its own battle honour ( Battle honours of the British and Imperial Armies) it should be separated into its own article.

were they only armed with hand grenades and nothing else ?
The result of the move request was: No consensus to move the article has been established within the RM time period and thus defaulting to not moved. ( non-admin closure) — Music1201 talk 01:35, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
– Are the words "for" versus "of" enough to differentiate these two subjects from each other? I'm not sure, but I'm weakly leaning towards "I don't think so". If that is the case, then these two articles should be moved away from their current titles to titles with a disambiguator ( Battle for Jerusalem (1948) was the former title of Battle for Jerusalem), and then their former titles ( Battle of Jerusalem and Battle for Jerusalem) should both be converted to redirects towards Siege of Jerusalem (a disambiguation page.)

Was Allenby's entry into the city on foot in part motivated by the spectacle of the Kaiser's much more grandiose entry in 1898? Kablammo ( talk) 21:24, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
