Hey Mr. Mischievous! I was wondering if we should nominate Eshmunazar II sarcophagus for FA. What do you think? el.ziade ( talkallam) 15:15, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi buddy, thanks for the above. I'm hoping you have a good image of the sarcophagus of Ahiram. The ones on common are a bit blurry or taken from a bad angle. el.ziade ( talkallam) 11:14, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

According to the arrangement formulated in June 1967, the Muslim Waqf - a local, Muslim, Palestinian institution tied to Jordan and, unofficially, since 1994, to the Palestinian Authority - manages the site. The Waqf controls the gates leading into the area (except for the Mughrabi Gate); employs guards of its choosing on the Haram/TM itself and at the entrances to it; sets the rules of permissible and prohibited behavior and dress; is responsible for general upkeep; and collects entrance fees from tourists and non-Muslim visitors to the al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. The Waqf is also able to close the site to non-Muslim visitors in tense periods, as was the case between October 2000 and August 2003 (at which point Israel applied pressure to have it reopened). Israel prohibits the Wagf from hoisting flags on the Mount. Any renovations require prior coordination with Israeli authorities. Since the opening of the northern access to the Western Wall tunnels in September 1996 this coordination has ceased, with virtually no supervision over what goes on (even previously, supervision was not full).) It was not shared at all for almost a millennium so there didn't need to be a status quo.
Some sources for an article focusing on exactly what happened in June 1967 on this topic, and what happened since:

This edit saw you adding that the Temple Mount/Al-Aqsa is in Jerusalem, State of Palestine. This is a violation of Wikipedia policy, according which East Jerusalem's status is disputed, as it is claimed by both Israel and Palestine.

Hello Onceinawhile! I would to ask if by any chance you know which coordinate system was used by the PEF in the making of their maps? I am in the process of georeferencing some maps made by the Government of Palestine and I want to also add maps from the PEF, but I couldn't figure out which coordinate system is used or what is their datum. I suppose it is some WGS but I don't know which.-- Bolter21 ( talk to me) 11:26, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

That image you dug up is more than a little interesting: it seems to show the Jamy al-Aqsa with three separately named wings, corresponding to the 'Mosk of Omar', 'Mosk of Abu Bakr' and 'Mosk of Moghrabins' - it really shows how there is no end to the things that can be translated into 'mosque' by Europeans - even the wing of a prayer hall within a mosque complex can be called a mosque. We really face whole layers of vaguery upon vaguery in the sourcing. Curious to know what the Arabic terminology for these divisions (if they ever existed) might have been, though not sure the building would have been conceptualised like this. Iskandar323 ( talk) 06:48, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
Sous la domination musulmane il fut agrandi, et c'est (aujourd'hui) la grande mosquée connue par les Musulmans sous le nom de Mesdjid el-Acsa. Il n'en existe pas au monde qui l'égale en grandeur, si l'on en excepte toutefois la grande mosquée de Cordoue en Andalousie ; car, d'après ce qu'on rapporte, le toit de cette mosquée est plus grand que celui de la Mesdjid el-Acsa. Au surplus, l'aire de cette dernière forme un parallelogramme dont la hauteur est de deux cents brasses (ba'a), et le base de cents quatre-vingts. La moitié de cet espace, celle qui est voisin du Mihrab, est couverte d'un toit (ou plutôt d'un dôme) en pierres soutenu par plusieurs rangs de colonnes ; l'autre est à ciel ouvert. Au centre de l'édifice est un grand dôme connu sous le nom de Dôme de la roche; il fut orné d'arabesques en or et d'autres beaux ouvrages, par les soins de divers califes musulmans. Le dôme est percé de quatre portes; en face de celle qui est à l'occident, on voit l'autel sur lequel les enfants d'Israël offraient leurs sacrifices; auprès de la porte orientale est l'église nommée le saint des saints, d'une construction élégante ; au midi est une chapelle qui était à l'usage des Musulmans; mais les chrétiens s'en sont emparés de vive force et elle est restée en leur pouvoir jusqu'à l'époque de la composition du présent ouvrage. Ils ont converti cette chapelle en un couvent où résident des religieux de l'ordre des templiers, c'est-à-dire des serviteurs de la maison de Dieu.(Williams, G.; Willis, R. (1849).

xxi. Observation. I have at the commencement called attention to the fact that the place now called by the name Aksa (i. e. the most distant), is the Mosk [Jamia] properly so called, at the southern extremity of the area, where is the Minbar and the great Mihrab. But in fact Aksa is the name of the whole area enclosed within the walls, the dimensions of which I have just given, for the Mosk proper [Jamia], the Dome of the Rock, the Cloisters, and other buildings, are all of late construction, and Mesjid el-Aksa is the correct name of the whole area.It would be great to find this in Arabic.

Hi Onceinawhile,
This is to let you know that File:Survey of Palestine 1942-1958 1-100,000 sheet index georef.png, a featured picture you nominated, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for December 31, 2022.

The Survey of Palestine was the government department responsible for the survey and mapping of Palestine during the period of British Mandatory Palestine. The survey department was established in 1920 in Jaffa, and moved to the outskirts of Tel Aviv in 1931. It established the Palestine grid. In early 1948, the British mandate appointed a temporary director general of the Survey Department for the impending Jewish state; this became the Survey of Israel. The maps produced by the survey have been widely used in "Palestinian refugee cartography" by scholars documenting the 1948 Palestinian exodus, notably in Salman Abu Sitta's Atlas of Palestine and Walid Khalidi's All That Remains. This composite map of the region of Palestine was assembled from twenty-four separate 1:100,000 sheets published by the Survey for Palestine and its successor, the Survey of Israel, between 1942 and 1958. Map credit: Survey of Palestine and the Survey of Israel; assembled by DutchTreat

Onceinawhile, it was a good thing to consolidate the pages Eleutheropolis and Bayt Jibrin under one title, as you did, since both pages referred to the same site. I would, however, suggest that in the section entitled "Name" you add the name of the Roman Emperor who gave to the city its Greek name "Eleutherpolis." A suggested edit might be: "In the year 200, Roman Emperor Septimius Severus gave it the status of a city under a new Greek name, Eleutheropolis, meaning 'City of the Free', and its inhabitants were given the rank of Roman citizens under the laws of ius italicum." [1] [2] This gives greater historical context to the section. Keep up the good work!

Thank you, interesting! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 22:39, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
I see that you have done a number of recent edits that replace things like [[Area B]] with [[Palestinian enclaves|Area B]]. This goes against the guidance at WP:NOTBROKEN (which I suggest you read if you haven't; it doesn't say quite what people assume from the name.) We don't want to replace redirects with pipes like that; the link to the redirect is simpler and will likely serve us better in the long term (such as if there is reason to create an article specifically on Area B.)
Please review your recent edits and undo ones that are of this nature. Thanks! -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 16:55, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Is it really true that the great majority of Nabatean inscriptions are found in the Sinai? The capital and most famous site, Petra, is in Jordan. AnonMoos ( talk) 22:12, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
"Sinai, for example, is a major source of Nabataean inscriptions: the corpus of M. E. Stone contains 3,851 Nabataean items! But most were written by individuals who had no connection with Nabataea itself during the period of the Nabataean kingdom or its immediate aftermath and they may not normally have spoken Aramaic. The texts have generally been thought to have been written long after Nabataea as such disappeared."

In re Wikipedia:Arbitration/Policy/Proposed amendment (May 2023), CC FenrisAureus.
I've had an idea bouncing in my head for something like this for the better part of a decade. I wouldn't call it "president", maybe "advocate-in-chief". To me the core of it isn't anything to do with appealing ArbCom decisions, but the basic problem that, when the general public has a question about Wikipedia, they tend to go to the WMF, which doesn't actually have authority over content. There isn't really anyone out there who can speak on behalf of the community of editors. When there's Twitter drama over a deletion or removal, you get 20 random editors speaking over one another to explain it, with no guarantee they even get it right. So I think it would be interesting to have some elected person whose primary job is to speak on behalf of the community, and who would also have a role within the community to resolve potential failures of the system—except without the power to formally overturn. The way I see it, for anyone who could meet whatever lofty standard we'd set for such an office, if they were to say, "Dear ArbCom: Respectfully, I think in your recent decision you may have erred in imposing a topic ban on User:Example without discussing the mitigating evidence presented during the case, and urge you to discuss this matter further with that consideration in mind", one imagines ArbCom would take such a statement quite seriously. Likewise, in the event of any constitutional crisis, their proposed solution would be taken very seriously as a first among equals. I wouldn't make it a 1-year term, though; better 2 or 3. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she|they|xe) 22:46, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
Greetings. Little over a month ago, you reverted a section I had written on his page detailing his spat with Sean Hannity concerning the Summer 2014 conflict between Israel and Hamas. Your justification was that it was "non-notable and written in an unbalanced manner." Considering that what I wrote was not editorialized (that is, written in such a way as to be construed as supporting a particular point of view), and that the back-and-forth was covered by various news outlets ( https://www.google.com/search?q=hannity+munayyer+hamas&rlz=1CATATK_enUS1026&oq=hannity+munayyer+hamas&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160l2.5048j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8), how can you argue in good faith that my content was non-notable and unbalanced?

Although I banned myself from the Zionism, race and genetics article for a couple weeks, I have not forgotten about an initial impetus for that article. At Israelites it says "Jews and the Samaritans are the modern descendants of the ancient Israelites" in Wikivoice while at Zionism, Tombah added "Modern Jews are named after and also descended from the Kingdom of Judah, one of two Israelite kingdoms that emerged in the Southern Levant during the Iron Age (with the other being the northern Kingdom of Israel)."

How did Homo sapiens manage to cross this critical threshold [i.e. forming groups of more than 150 people], eventually founding cities comprising tens of thousands of inhabitants and empires ruling hundreds of millions? The secret was probably the appearance of fiction. Large numbers of strangers can cooperate successfully by believing in common myths. Any large-scale human cooperation – whether a modern state, a medieval church, an ancient city or an archaic tribe – is rooted in common myths that exist only in peoples collective imagination. Churches are rooted in common religious myths. Two Catholics who have never met can nevertheless go together on crusade or pool funds to build a hospital because they both believe that God was incarnated in human flesh and allowed Himself to be crucified to redeem our sins. States are rooted in common national myths. Two Serbs who have never met might risk their lives to save one another because both believe in the existence of the Serbian nation, the Serbian homeland and the Serbian flag. Judicial systems are rooted in common legal myths. Two lawyers who have never met can nevertheless combine efforts to defend a complete stranger because they both believe in the existence of laws, justice, human rights – and the money paid out in fees. Yet none of these things exists outside the stories that people invent and tell one another. There are no gods in the universe, no nations, no money, no human rights, no laws, and no justice outside the common imagination of human beings. People easily understand that ‘primitives’ cement their social order by believing in ghosts and spirits, and gathering each full moon to dance together around the campfire. What we fail to appreciate is that our modern institutions function on exactly the same basis.
Unlike lying, an imagined reality is something that everyone believes in, and as long as this communal belief persists, the imagined reality exerts force in the world. The sculptor from the Stadel Cave may sincerely have believed in the existence of the lion-man guardian spirit. Some sorcerers are charlatans, but most sincerely believe in the existence of gods and demons. Most millionaires sincerely believe in the existence of money and limited liability companies. Most human-rights activists sincerely believe in the existence of human rights. No one was lying when, in 2011, the UN demanded that the Libyan government respect the human rights of its citizens, even though the UN, Libya and human rights are all figments of our fertile imaginations. Ever since the Cognitive Revolution, Sapiens has thus been living in a dual reality. On the one hand, the objective reality of rivers, trees and lions; and on the other hand, the imagined reality of gods, nations and corporations. As time went by, the imagined reality became ever more powerful, so that today the very survival of rivers, trees and lions depends on the grace of imagined entities such as gods, nations and corporations.
Keeping it simple, the Times of Israel said "Whether or not to designate Jews as members of an ethnic group — a debate among Jews themselves — has political and cultural implications." Selfstudier ( talk) 11:29, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
"Zionism did not affect their identity"doesn't follow logically from the rest of what you wrote, doesn't follow logically from common sense, and it doesn't follow any sources. It is 100% certain that Zionism had a significant impact on Jewish identity. Like every form of nationalism, it was designed to do exactly that. Impacting people's identity is exactly what nationalism does. If you want some color to the story of how it can happen, read for example: Balfour_Declaration#Zionist_reaction.

According to the arrangement formulated in June 1967, the Muslim Waqf - a local, Muslim, Palestinian institution tied to Jordan and, unofficially, since 1994, to the Palestinian Authority - manages the site. The Waqf controls the gates leading into the area (except for the Mughrabi Gate); employs guards of its choosing on the Haram/TM itself and at the entrances to it; sets the rules of permissible and prohibited behavior and dress; is responsible for general upkeep; and collects entrance fees from tourists and non-Muslim visitors to the al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. The Waqf is also able to close the site to non-Muslim visitors in tense periods, as was the case between October 2000 and August 2003 (at which point Israel applied pressure to have it reopened). Israel prohibits the Wagf from hoisting flags on the Mount. Any renovations require prior coordination with Israeli authorities. Since the opening of the northern access to the Western Wall tunnels in September 1996 this coordination has ceased, with virtually no supervision over what goes on (even previously, supervision was not full).) It was not shared at all for almost a millennium so there didn't need to be a status quo.

That image you dug up is more than a little interesting: it seems to show the Jamy al-Aqsa with three separately named wings, corresponding to the 'Mosk of Omar', 'Mosk of Abu Bakr' and 'Mosk of Moghrabins' - it really shows how there is no end to the things that can be translated into 'mosque' by Europeans - even the wing of a prayer hall within a mosque complex can be called a mosque.

Sous la domination musulmane il fut agrandi, et c'est (aujourd'hui) la grande mosquée connue par les Musulmans sous le nom de Mesdjid el-Acsa. Il n'en existe pas au monde qui l'égale en grandeur, si l'on en excepte toutefois la grande mosquée de Cordoue en Andalousie ; car, d'après ce qu'on rapporte, le toit de cette mosquée est plus grand que celui de la Mesdjid el-Acsa. Au surplus, l'aire de cette dernière forme un parallelogramme dont la hauteur est de deux cents brasses (ba'a), et le base de cents quatre-vingts. La moitié de cet espace, celle qui est voisin du Mihrab, est couverte d'un toit (ou plutôt d'un dôme) en pierres soutenu par plusieurs rangs de colonnes ; l'autre est à ciel ouvert. Au centre de l'édifice est un grand dôme connu sous le nom de Dôme de la roche; il fut orné d'arabesques en or et d'autres beaux ouvrages, par les soins de divers califes musulmans. Le dôme est percé de quatre portes; en face de celle qui est à l'occident, on voit l'autel sur lequel les enfants d'Israël offraient leurs sacrifices; auprès de la porte orientale est l'église nommée le saint des saints, d'une construction élégante ; au midi est une chapelle qui était à l'usage des Musulmans; mais les chrétiens s'en sont emparés de vive force et elle est restée en leur pouvoir jusqu'à l'époque de la composition du présent ouvrage. Ils ont converti cette chapelle en un couvent où résident des religieux de l'ordre des templiers, c'est-à-dire des serviteurs de la maison de Dieu.(Williams, G.; Willis, R. (1849).

xxi. Observation. I have at the commencement called attention to the fact that the place now called by the name Aksa (i. e. the most distant), is the Mosk [Jamia] properly so called, at the southern extremity of the area, where is the Minbar and the great Mihrab. But in fact Aksa is the name of the whole area enclosed within the walls, the dimensions of which I have just given, for the Mosk proper [Jamia], the Dome of the Rock, the Cloisters, and other buildings, are all of late construction, and Mesjid el-Aksa is the correct name of the whole area.It would be great to find this in Arabic.

Hi Onceinawhile,
This is to let you know that File:Survey of Palestine 1942-1958 1-100,000 sheet index georef.png, a featured picture you nominated, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for December 31, 2022.

The Survey of Palestine was the government department responsible for the survey and mapping of Palestine during the period of British Mandatory Palestine. The survey department was established in 1920 in Jaffa, and moved to the outskirts of Tel Aviv in 1931. It established the Palestine grid. In early 1948, the British mandate appointed a temporary director general of the Survey Department for the impending Jewish state; this became the Survey of Israel. The maps produced by the survey have been widely used in "Palestinian refugee cartography" by scholars documenting the 1948 Palestinian exodus, notably in Salman Abu Sitta's Atlas of Palestine and Walid Khalidi's All That Remains. This composite map of the region of Palestine was assembled from twenty-four separate 1:100,000 sheets published by the Survey for Palestine and its successor, the Survey of Israel, between 1942 and 1958.

Onceinawhile, it was a good thing to consolidate the pages Eleutheropolis and Bayt Jibrin under one title, as you did, since both pages referred to the same site. I would, however, suggest that in the section entitled "Name" you add the name of the Roman Emperor who gave to the city its Greek name "Eleutherpolis." A suggested edit might be: "In the year 200, Roman Emperor Septimius Severus gave it the status of a city under a new Greek name, Eleutheropolis, meaning 'City of the Free', and its inhabitants were given the rank of Roman citizens under the laws of ius italicum." [1] [2] This gives greater historical context to the section. Keep up the good work!

I see that you have done a number of recent edits that replace things like [[Area B]] with [[Palestinian enclaves|Area B]]. This goes against the guidance at WP:NOTBROKEN (which I suggest you read if you haven't; it doesn't say quite what people assume from the name.) We don't want to replace redirects with pipes like that; the link to the redirect is simpler and will likely serve us better in the long term (such as if there is reason to create an article specifically on Area B.)

"Sinai, for example, is a major source of Nabataean inscriptions: the corpus of M. E. Stone contains 3,851 Nabataean items! But most were written by individuals who had no connection with Nabataea itself during the period of the Nabataean kingdom or its immediate aftermath and they may not normally have spoken Aramaic.

In re Wikipedia:Arbitration/Policy/Proposed amendment (May 2023), CC FenrisAureus.
I've had an idea bouncing in my head for something like this for the better part of a decade. I wouldn't call it "president", maybe "advocate-in-chief". To me the core of it isn't anything to do with appealing ArbCom decisions, but the basic problem that, when the general public has a question about Wikipedia, they tend to go to the WMF, which doesn't actually have authority over content. There isn't really anyone out there who can speak on behalf of the community of editors. When there's Twitter drama over a deletion or removal, you get 20 random editors speaking over one another to explain it, with no guarantee they even get it right. So I think it would be interesting to have some elected person whose primary job is to speak on behalf of the community, and who would also have a role within the community to resolve potential failures of the system—except without the power to formally overturn. The way I see it, for anyone who could meet whatever lofty standard we'd set for such an office, if they were to say, "Dear ArbCom: Respectfully, I think in your recent decision you may have erred in imposing a topic ban on User:Example without discussing the mitigating evidence presented during the case, and urge you to discuss this matter further with that consideration in mind", one imagines ArbCom would take such a statement quite seriously. Likewise, in the event of any constitutional crisis, their proposed solution would be taken very seriously as a first among equals. I wouldn't make it a 1-year term, though; better 2 or 3. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she|they|xe) 22:46, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

At Israelites it says "Jews and the Samaritans are the modern descendants of the ancient Israelites" in Wikivoice while at Zionism, Tombah added "Modern Jews are named after and also descended from the Kingdom of Judah, one of two Israelite kingdoms that emerged in the Southern Levant during the Iron Age (with the other being the northern Kingdom of Israel)." I saw that you added a POV tag at Genetic studies on Jews. Best way to deal with all the POV pushing? Selfstudier ( talk) 17:37, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
I made a little discovery in the Israel State Archives, and uploaded it to archive.org after running an OCR program. See here. At this moment it can't be read online but the PDF can be downloaded. I assume that will change soon. Perhaps this can help make a better copy on wikisource? Zero talk 15:23, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi buddy let's nominate this, what do you think of the following? el.ziade ( talkallam) 14:57, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
What evidence would convince you that the existence of a Jewish ethnic group is not a nationalist fiction? Does there exist such an evidentiary level that would satisfy this? And do you at least agree that we have to abide by the Wikipedia consensus that there are, in fact, Jews as an ethnic group? Andre 🚐 22:53, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
How did Homo sapiens manage to cross this critical threshold [i.e. forming groups of more than 150 people], eventually founding cities comprising tens of thousands of inhabitants and empires ruling hundreds of millions? The secret was probably the appearance of fiction. Large numbers of strangers can cooperate successfully by believing in common myths. Any large-scale human cooperation – whether a modern state, a medieval church, an ancient city or an archaic tribe – is rooted in common myths that exist only in peoples collective imagination. Churches are rooted in common religious myths. Two Catholics who have never met can nevertheless go together on crusade or pool funds to build a hospital because they both believe that God was incarnated in human flesh and allowed Himself to be crucified to redeem our sins. States are rooted in common national myths. Two Serbs who have never met might risk their lives to save one another because both believe in the existence of the Serbian nation, the Serbian homeland and the Serbian flag. Judicial systems are rooted in common legal myths. Two lawyers who have never met can nevertheless combine efforts to defend a complete stranger because they both believe in the existence of laws, justice, human rights – and the money paid out in fees. Yet none of these things exists outside the stories that people invent and tell one another. There are no gods in the universe, no nations, no money, no human rights, no laws, and no justice outside the common imagination of human beings. People easily understand that ‘primitives’ cement their social order by believing in ghosts and spirits, and gathering each full moon to dance together around the campfire. What we fail to appreciate is that our modern institutions function on exactly the same basis.
Unlike lying, an imagined reality is something that everyone believes in, and as long as this communal belief persists, the imagined reality exerts force in the world. The sculptor from the Stadel Cave may sincerely have believed in the existence of the lion-man guardian spirit. Some sorcerers are charlatans, but most sincerely believe in the existence of gods and demons. Most millionaires sincerely believe in the existence of money and limited liability companies. Most human-rights activists sincerely believe in the existence of human rights. No one was lying when, in 2011, the UN demanded that the Libyan government respect the human rights of its citizens, even though the UN, Libya and human rights are all figments of our fertile imaginations. Ever since the Cognitive Revolution, Sapiens has thus been living in a dual reality. On the one hand, the objective reality of rivers, trees and lions; and on the other hand, the imagined reality of gods, nations and corporations. As time went by, the imagined reality became ever more powerful, so that today the very survival of rivers, trees and lions depends on the grace of imagined entities such as gods, nations and corporations.
Keeping it simple, the Times of Israel said "Whether or not to designate Jews as members of an ethnic group — a debate among Jews themselves — has political and cultural implications." Selfstudier ( talk) 11:29, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
"Zionism did not affect their identity"doesn't follow logically from the rest of what you wrote, doesn't follow logically from common sense, and it doesn't follow any sources. It is 100% certain that Zionism had a significant impact on Jewish identity. Like every form of nationalism, it was designed to do exactly that. Impacting people's identity is exactly what nationalism does. If you want some color to the story of how it can happen, read for example: Balfour_Declaration#Zionist_reaction.

Khalwa (school) directs to a page discussing purely schools in Sudan, so I'm not sure that's a useful link - incidentally, which buildings is this a reference to, out of interest? (No khalwas are mentioned on page as of yet.) Also, did you mean to return the initial 'a' on the page to lower case from sentence case? Iskandar323 ( talk) 07:09, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

On 5 October 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Royal necropolis of Ayaa, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the royal necropolis of Ayaa in Sidon, Lebanon, was accidentally discovered in the late 19th century by a workman who stumbled upon a shaft and chamber tomb while quarrying for stone? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Royal necropolis of Ayaa. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Royal necropolis of Ayaa), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi Onceinawhile, was your latest reply meant to be a reply to my post? I specifically did not suggest removing all mention of density from the lead, nor do I see where I used particularly animated rhetoric. CMD ( talk) 07:38, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I was looking at the Nakba article history. You really created this page in 2021? Before that, Wikipedia had no page titled "Nakba," not even a redirect? I find that so surprising! Levivich ( talk) 16:58, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
