"A mosque is to be built on the site. Arafat was laid to rest in the compound on November 12, 2004."
I assume "the site" refers to the courtyard of the Mukataa, not the Temple Mount. In either case, I havn't seen this in the news, does anyone have a source?
This article deals almost exclusively with the Mukataa of Ramallah. The title is thus misleading. Call it "Mukataa of Ramallah" or separate somehow between the larger term and this specific site, that by now doesn't resemble at all the original Tegart fort, which is the general definition for a Palestinian "Mukataa".

After the accords they became Arafat's headquarters; this is completely accurate and neutral. "Arafat's Compound" is how it has been described in English, not just Western media, and this is English Wikipedia. Temple Mount is both the common English name and the Wikipedia name for the Temple Mount. Israel Defense Forces, short form IDF, is the legal, common, and Wikipedia name, not "Israel Occupation Forces" or whatever other POV names you have been inserting, in an attempt to delete their name. You can call them all whatever you like in Arabic Wikipedia, but in English Wikipedia you have to follow English usage and Wikipedia standards. Finally, the IDF alleged "terrorist" activities, not "resistance" activities, and they were looking for "illegal" weapons, not legal ones; you can't put words in their mouths.

Ramallite's Response:
Have you even read the accords? The Mukata'a was where he stayed whenever he came to Ramallah but his main headquarters were in Gaza City. Either way, his headquarters location was not stipulated per se in the Oslo accords.
We speak English in the middle east as well, and we never call it that.
"Dome of the Rock", as written in English, is about as common as "Temple Mount", and if Wikipedia is truly a NPOV work (which I believed it was until seeing your edits), there should be no "official" Wikipedia POV.
I did not ONCE refer to them as "Israeli Occupation Forces" in this post. I resent that.
I called them Israeli Army which is one usage English-speaking Wikipedia users from both sides agree on.
Right - not Jayjg's standards though. Ramallite (talk) 18:29, 20 Jun 2005 (EDT)
"Jerusalem" was linked to...itself, basically, 3 times in four continuous sentences.
Am I sensing a bias here? or a common mistake?
I've eliminated the two repeaters and corrected a spelling error. - Mahnarch —Preceding
