A GA from 2009. My main problem for this isn't sourcing (though there is the occasional uncited sentence) but rather it's lack of updates. Most sections, aside from history, end off at 2010 max, making some of the article outdated in way. The history section also has some weird sentences like
This could probably be easily fixed however. Onegreatjoke ( talk) 17:50, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Image of destruction should be moved and a general image of the city should be used per Wikipedia:Recentism 172.99.147.181 ( talk) 00:49, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
The article currently states:
According to Shahin, the Ancient Egyptians called it gḏt, "Ghazzat" ("prized city")...
(originally added in this edit in 2009.)
As far as I understand, Mariam Shahin is not an academic researcher (she is a filmmaker and a journalist, without a Wikipedia article about her); neither ancient Egypt or etymology are her areas of expertise, and the book "Palestine: A Guide" is not an academic research. I don't think this is a reliable source on the subject. 2A0D:6FC2:6C71:6C00:749F:EA20:5036:E5E7 ( talk) 20:19, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
I have been unable to verify citation 187, and in general the fact that Gaza City and Tel Aviv are sister cities. Furthermore, this was added to the article during the 2008-2009 Palestine-Israel conflict. The only thing that makes me trust that it was added in good faith is that it was added by a well-respected editor of Palestinian ancestry (Al Ameer son). GiggyMantis ( talk) 22:05, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
