Certain statements in the above (locked) article require updating in the light of the opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem on Monday 14 April 2018. Particular examples include "The United States has never officially relinquished its early support of the corpus separatum." and "official U.S. documents and web sites do not refer to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel" as well as various changes of tenses from presen/perfect to past or pluperfect. I raised the issue on the talk page but so far no action has been taken. I imagine that this is because the talk page does not get that many visitors - I am therefore bouncing my request over to here, a busier place where it may attract the attention of someone willing and able to do the work. 62.190.148.115 ( talk) 10:43, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

A few of the regular editors in the IP-conflict area are stirring up the conflict by changing the consensus version (for as long as the article has existed) on East Talpiot, by changing the lead sentence according to the Palestinian narrative, and removing the fact that this is first and foremost a Jerusalem neighborhood.

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 07:42, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

So there are a ton of articles on Kahanism and Kahanists, to the point of there being a category (actually three categories). Would it make sense to just make it into a series template? The reason why is that many of the articles are linked together, however many articles relating to the subject have not been updated. It is also common for ideologies, and other topics with several closely related pages to have an article series. Also regarding if it is notable enough, I think it is less a matter of if it is notable and more a matter of organization of the pages and allowing people to research the topic faster without having to deal with outdated pages.

Several articles that I have recently submitted have been deleted. The reason given is that they do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. According to the guidelines, Wikipedia requires significant coverage from reliable independent sources. All the entries deleted or proposed for deletion received extensive coverage in the Israeli English media, Globes, TheMarker and Calcalist. These articles were not paid for by the companies, the publications are the largest in the country with a good reputation for reliability and independence.

Would someone from this WikiProject mind taking a look at this article and assessing it? It was created by someone hired by Pazy's family and it was not submitted for review via WP:AFC. I've done a bit of minor clean up, but there's still some issues that need sorting, particularly with respect to the sourcing (it seems that most of them are to documents, etc. uploaded to Commons). I'm assuming the subject meets WP:ACADEMIC and is notable for an article to be written, but some serious trimming/rewriting might be needed to bring the article more inline with current policies and guidelines. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 13:07, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi all. I just want to preface this by saying that I'm pretty new to editing Wikipedia, and I am also not Jewish and I don't know much about Israeli culture or media - so I am posting out of random curiosity/interest as I don't have any knowledge to actually contribute to this WikiProject. Anyway, Netflix has just released their 5 part documentary miniseries "The Devil Next Door" on the trial of John Demjanjuk in Jerusalem the 1980s. From what I have been reading on twitter, a lot of people around the world are learning about this case for the first time through this docu-series. One of the people who gets the most screen time is Demjanjuk's Israeli defence lawyer, Yoram Sheftel. I have noticed that Sheftel does not have his own English language Wikipedia page, which seems odd because he definitely meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. In the documentary, he relishes in being 'the most hated person in Israel' at the time. A quick google has shown that he has continued to take really controversial cases throughout the years and that he regularly makes inflammatory/controversial statements on his radio show (apparently he was suspended from the radio just a few days ago?). Lots of people (such as myself) are going to look up his name after watching the Netflix series. I think he definitely needs his own article ASAP because this doco is going to drive a lot of traffic towards pages related to the Demjanjuk trial. But like I said, I don't have any knowledge or authority in this area, so I just wanted to throw this suggestion out to you all Apriljennifer ( talk) 20:25, 9 November 2019 (UTC).
I just saw that there was a deletion discussion for an actor by the name of Guy Loel. It looks like he's really only acted in Hebrew language productions and shows, so I doubt that there will be much coverage in English about him. His IMDb profile shows that he's had a lot of roles in various TV shows and over multiple episodes, so I didn't know if there was anyone here who would be willing to do a search for Hebrew language sourcing. I'll try to do what I can, but I don't really have the ability to search in Hebrew since I'm not familiar with the language.

There is an RfC about the inclusion of comments about Eli Cohen (brought on by the recent Netflix series about him) here: Talk:Eli_Cohen#RfC 22:51, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
This description was recently added. I tried to change it to this, which I feel is neutral and matches the article itself, but it got quickly reverted. “ WarKosign ” 22:22, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
Philosophy of human settlements and how they make other humans feel. Talpiot is a neighborhood. If you stand in Talpiot, you could say that it "constitutes" as an illegal Israeli settlement. You could say that Talpiot is not in "recognized" Israeli territory or to say that it was "illegally" constructed. But Talpiot looks, acts and feels simply like a neighborhood in Jerusalem. The term "settlement" first and foremost refers to a human settlement. A neighborhood is part of a city, the latter being a type of settlement. I guess that would mean that a neighborhood is also a settlement. But the term "Israeli Settlement" refers specifically to Israeli settlements that were built in the West Bank after 1967. Now, East Jerusalem neighborhoods clearly constitute as Israeli settlements, because they are some type of a human settlement, built by the Israeli people, outside of the Green Line, after 1967. With that said, in practice, they are neighborhoods in the city of Jerusalem no matter what people 'think' or what is the people's 'opinion' about the whole topic. Therefore, I think that WarKosign's description is sufficient. Someone who reads about Talpiot knows already the legal situation, thanks to the lead section. And people with a bit of common sense would spot that it doesn't say "Jerusalem" but say "East Jerusalem". An innocently, ignorant reader, with a very low sense of curiosity but enough ambition to read for five whole minutes, would be able to understand that Talpiot is a neighborhood in East Jerusalem, regarded by the international community as an illegal Israeli settlement, which is obviously the least interesting thing about Talpiot. Most of the people who read about Talpiot are not random readers from an Igloo who never heard about the place and came across the name by accident. These are people who know a thing or two about Israel, Palestine, and Jerusalem, and probably wish to learn more about one of the three. So putting "Israeli Settlements" after every five words in these articles, their infoboxes, their categories, their wiki links, their "see also" sections and now their short description, as if they are fresh Golan Heights wine bottles marked by the EU, is both unnecessary and annoying. For Israeli or Jewish readers, this is unpleasant, as if it implies a secret or clear hostile POV of Wikipedia, that not only it favors the International opinion (which makes sense, even though it is also a Palestinian POV) but it also shoves it up in your face as if Wikipedia was Muhammad Ali and "Israeli Settlements" were his fists. I think we can all say that pro-Israeli editors have unhappily accepted the reality in which people who murder babies in their beds are labeled as "assailants" by Wikipedia, in order to preserve NPOV or something like that, which is quite upsetting (no one dares saying anything about 9/11), so can you at least, not degrade anything related to our land our place of inhabitance which we have built and developed for years, as illegal under international law?
Long story short, I give no damn about the actual dispute. This is Wikipedia, and it feels like Wikipedia is repeating "Israeli settlement" too much, when it is clear enough already, and frankly shifts readers from the actual topics of the articles, and also disappoint many of the Israeli and Jewish readers who simply want to read about what they honestly think are neighborhoods in their country, when there is already enough information about their legal status. Go with WarKosign's description, it is factual, neutral and deals more with the actual topic in hand.-- Bolter21 ( talk to me) 20:23, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Just because operations are planned ahead in no way contradicts nor precludes that incidents occurring later on may serve as their trigger. Indeed, most military responses follow prior planning. IOW, it *was* carried out in retaliation of the bus incident, if that one hadn't occurred the same planned operation would simply have been triggered/in retaliation for yet another attack. There is no contradiction. -- 217.225.245.163 ( talk) 18:19, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Following a discussion at Talk:Jabel_Mukaber#map_and_caption, the proposal was raised to use a map of Jerusalem.

The page Politics of Israel says that Politics in Israel is dominated by Zionist parties. It is a weird statement for the following reasons: Zionism is a movement for creation of a Jewish state. Israel has been created by UN in 1948 as a Jewish state. The current politics of Israel is not about discussing whether the state of Israel should exist as a Jewish state - it already does. It would be helpful if the topic of Politics of Israel was covering Israeli politics in context of Parliamentary Democracy - this would help users to put it in the right context.

Hello, I wish to make editors aware of a discussion that is occurring on Wikimedia commons. Here is the link [4]. A creator has uploaded a barnstar with Nazi imagery that is intended to be awarded to editors who work on articles related to Nazism. Its not for articles - it is specifically intended for use on a userpage which the author makes clear here [5]. I feel this "award" is offensive in the extreme and its potential to be used as a personal attack or harassment is obvious regardless of the creators intentions. Please contribute to the discussion.

@ Rh0809 and David O. Johnson: Can I suggest that no articles on new minor political parties are created prior to the upcoming elections unless there is polling that suggests the party will win seats? Prior to the last few elections we had a rash of articles on no hopers like Liberal–Economic Power, New Liberal Party (2019 party), New Horizon (political party), Me and You - The Israeli People's Party etc. Likewise, I would suggest no articles should be created on alliances until they are 100% confirmed as competing and likely to win seats, to avoid another United Jewish Home.

To Whom it May Concern: We have just added another WikiProject Israel sub-page entitled Wikipedia:WikiProject Israel/Books, copyedited from an existing page Wikipedia:WikiProject Palestine/Books, with minor changes, since the page primarily concerns books treating on the historical Land of Israel, from a historical-geographical perspective: i.e. its towns, villages, historical sites, archaeological sites, etc. before the founding of a political state in the mid-20th century. The page is meant to serve as a data-base for resource material related to the geography of the Land of Israel, as recorded by travelers, researchers, archaeologists, in the past few centuries. The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) has extensively made use of the research material provided by the British Survey of Western Palestine, their maps and general information of sites visited by them in the late 1800s. Any avid scholar of Jewish history, geography, and demographics of the country, should have these resources at his disposal.

There is a lot of biases against israel on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict which is to be expected from a very controversial subject such as this, but we need more concrete information on the history and hows they were both offered a state and that palestinians declined saying we want it all. I might also sound bias and I get that but I am hoping that I could work with a team from both sides to help edit and provide only facts and no opinions mixed in.
Hello Wikipedians!
I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia and the Israel-Palestine conflict. I will be looking at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors (that's you!), contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.
If you are an active (or previously active) editor of pages related to the conflict, I would love to hear from you. I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdriEAkTQCq5Us26lxEqbjfw4jh3ktqTLaE8FN7fYY7Eph1Fw/viewform?usp=sf_link BEFORE 8 AUGUST 2021.

This was accepted at AFC, but I am concerned about its referencing. Were I able to read Hebrew I would be able to assess my concerns directly, but I have to use machine translation. It is a paid contribution by a self declared paid editor (allowed under the rules), but the referencing appears to be churnalism, and does not aid the article in passing WP:NCORP in a documented and referenced manner. That renders it vulnerable to a deletion process even though I am 90% sure the org passes WP:NCORP.

)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Hello everyone!!! I am posting here at User:Loew Galitz's prompting. In several Jewish towns, there are badly mangled Arabic transliterations of the Hebrew names. For example Or Yehuda or Kiryat Haim. Some are tagged with "romanization needed", but there is no romanization because it the same name as Hebrew with a letter to letter mapping. For example Or Yehuda is rendered as "أور يهوده" in Arabic. This amount to a letter-to-letter conversion, but has nothing to do with the underlying language. Or, light, is in Arabic nur نور. But the name that is used is أور with an Alef. The is a simple mapping of א to أ, then ו to و, and ר to ر. Same with יהודה (Yehuda) that is mapped letter-letter to يهوده, but Arabic has its own way of writing Judah and Judas, and it is يهوذا, ending with an alif and not ha: Arabic Wikipedia of Judah (son of Jacob).
Taking or Yehuda further, there is no Arabic on the town's website, logo, or welcome sign. The CBS doesn't have Arab residents in the town, it is a Jewish town. There is little to no Arabic in the city.
Arabic does have a special status in Israel, but it only has effect in Arabic or mixed zones, not in towns without Arabs.
I propose that these not good Arabic transliterations be removed from towns without Arab population or Arab ties. It is one matter when a town has an Arab name, like Lod: اللد derives from the same place, but is not a letter to letter mapping of לוד. But there is no purpose in forcing what might appear on an Arabic road map. חוקרת (Researcher) ( talk) 05:33, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
The CBS doesn't have Arab residents in the town, it is a Jewish town. There is little to no Arabic in the city.It is reasonable to presume that the Arab residents of the city have an Arabic name for the place that they live. We would need a source for it of course. Onceinawhile ( talk) 20:32, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
The above is a valid discussion, but my point was that an English reader has no idea whether the arabic writing is a transliteration from hebrew or natural arabic name. Therefore I requested that there must be always a romanization from arabic. There is no such thing as "there is no romanization" The best you can say "we don't have reliable sources that provide romanization". In the case of Or Yehuda one may write "(transliterated from Hebrew)" or "there is no Native Arabic name for the place". Loew Galitz ( talk) 16:41, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
Few notes on what has been written above. First of all, Israel, at least until recently (can't really tell anymore), had Arabic as an official language. Whether there are Arab citizens in Israel towns or not, does not change the fact that Or Yehuda does have an Arabic transliterated name on road signs. I see no problem with the fact that the Arabic name is a complete transliteration of the Hebrew one. Nobody calls the village of Jisr az-Zarqa as "The Blue Bridge" or הגשר הכחול. Hebrew speakers know this place by its Arabic name. Now, even if no Arabs live in Or Yehuda, which as Oncenawhile has pointed out, is false, still there are Arabs who work at Or Yehuda or visit it for all sort of occasions. If you go to Israel's National Insurance website in Arabic, you will have a page dedicated to Or Yehuda using the Arabic transliteration which is not bad. An Arab going to Or Yehuda wouldn't tell the cab driver "please drive me to Nur al-Yahuda". As for the tag, you may remove it and change "Arabic" to "Arabic transliteration" if it is the case, unlike places with actual Arabic names such as Lod or Nazareth. Going by the ethnicity of the residents would probably force us to give the Russian transliteration of Bat Yam, which is an idea I personally find interesting, but I'll keep it with English-Hebrew-Arabic names.

Please comment at Talk:Al-Aqsa Mosque#Requested move 30 May 2022 - we are in need of editors who have the time to review the sources. Our Al-Aqsa Mosque article is about the small building. The large compound, also known as Al-Aqsa Mosque, is our article Temple Mount.
For reference:
Per
WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, what matters most is whether it is highly likely — much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined — to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term
. It is also important to assess how the term is used amongst scholarly sources - an assessment of this has been provided at the discussion, and it would be good to have it confirmed by editors who have the time to review the sources themselves.
Thank you.

I have nothing more to add to the SPI thread. I believe the involvement of the two low-[enwiki]edit-count users at the RM in such a short time-window was statistically impossible to be a coincidence. I had missed the fact that despite their low edit counts, these two editors are highly experienced on hewiki. The admin at the SPI said it seems to be off-wiki canvassing.
@ Tombah, Eladkarmel, and Atbannett: please could you confirm for us here - did you have any off-wiki communication about the Al-Aqsa Mosque RM prior to your involvement there? Onceinawhile ( talk) 09:31, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
Against my better judgment, a couple of things. A. Onceinawhile, that SPI was baseless. Atbannett has been here for 16 years and while he or she does not have a ton of edits here, they have some 55 thousand on the Hebrew Wikipedia. Tombah's edits seem miles away from Eladkarmel in a ton of ways, from the substance to the formatting to the level of English. You really should reconsider the way youre seemingly interrogating others, play the ball not the man. If you have actual evidence of misconduct, not this seems odd or it doesnt feel right to me, then you can present that, but nothing in that SPI shows any evidence that those editors are the same. And they are not obligated to answer your questions. B. This section is an abuse of this Wikiproject, and the one below suggesting sometimes it is easier to talk in Hebrew as though this WikiProject, or any other page, should be used to coordinate strategy against an editor or page is risible, and any editor who participates in this WikiProject and doesnt want it associated with such blatantly poor behavior should shut this down asap and even consider reporting the editor yourself. This is unreal, and the admins that I know of that are listed as members should do something about it. Pinging Ynhockey and Number 57. nableezy - 22:13, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi,
Most companies on the TA 125 index have an article, it seems like a no-brainer. Yet, a draft for Israel Canada was declined recently, even though it is one of the most prominent Israeli real estate companies in Israel and the main sponsor for Maccabi Tel Aviv Football Club, as well as having Subsidiaries that are responsible for some of the most ambitious real estate projects in Israel today.
The decline was made by stating that the article was not supported by the references; it was said it only had routine mentions. Which is not true. Obviously, since it is an Israeli company, most mentions are from Israeli websites, but they are notable news organizations such as Globes, Calcalist, The Jerusalem Post, etc.
If I can please have some assistance from active members of this project so I may improve the draft and get it approved, it would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hey, someone uploaded this image to Commons, claiming it depicts Jerusalem's Lions' Gate some time in the late 1960s. Except it doesn't, numerous details do not fit. So the question is, what does it actually show? Users on Hebrew wiki have pointed out that Lions or Leopards are popular motifs of Sultan Baybars or Lebanon's Shihab dynasty.

Due to restoration of US copyright in the wake of the URAA, post-war images from Israel are usually still under US copyright. Therefore, they should not be hosted on Wikimedia Commons or as free files on the English Wikipedia, and they are liable to be deleted from there as soon as someone gets round to it. In particular, this affects the portrait images of a number of politicians such as those in commons:Category:Members of the First Knesset and Category:Members of the Second Knesset etc. It is likely that a large percentage of them are eligible for non-free use as infobox images on the English Wikipedia, but this would have to be considered on a case by case basis. Any support from this WikiProject in transferring such image from Commons to Wikipedia non-free use and creating appropriate rationales would be highly welcome!

We have made a new article: Iranian democracy movement that is intended as a WP:Broad concept article covering the political movements and many protests calling for regime change, and a new constitutional framework for Iran, in accord with the demands and aspirations of the Iranian people. It follows upon a recent summit meeting of diaspora opposition leaders, but not limited to that group or event alone. I first notified the other project of course: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Iran#New_Article_-_Iranian_democracy_movement, but thought to post it here as well, since its linked on the article Iran–Israel_proxy_conflict. There its noted that the regime often accuses these dissidents and opposition of being "Israel's army". I doubt that's true in any concrete organizational sense, but there may be a confluence of moral and intellectual solidarity somewhere, and perhaps there are some Persian Jews and Israelis who will find this relevant and consider contributing to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaredscribe ( talk • contribs) 22:33, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

I have taken the long overdue step of creating an Al-Aqsa Mosque compound page to encompass the full architectural history of Al-Aqsa all in one place. This was not done previously, with there being separate articles for the Dome of the Rock, Al-Aqsa Mosque and Minarets of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, etc., but no single page drawing them all together historically and architecturally. The temple mount page provides some architectural overview, but it is so bound up in narrating the full history of the site and is substructure (so much so that it uses the 'mountain' infobox template, not the 'religious building' one) that it has never done full credit to the actual superstructure.

A question was asked at the IDF Talk page on consistent spelling of defense/defence. I answered as best as I could. Absent some really distinct, well-defined, well-documented Israeli English written variant, would this WikiProject be interested in making some generic guideline, such as to prefer American English spelling for Israel-related articles (or at least those of the past few decades)?

The page Post-Zionism is a disaster of a piece of content at present. It's almost wholly unsourced, could potentially be a personal essay, and the only sources are some op-eds, not scholarship. It's so dysfunctional that it borders on a WP:TNT case, but I thought it might be worth flagging it as a doer-upper first. Iskandar323 ( talk) 22:18, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

There's a page in English WP entitled Israel Today but it's a redirect to Israel Hayom. [1] However a print and online Israel Today is published in English, [2] German [3] and Dutch; [4] an archived page mentions Japanese, Korean and Norwegian editions. [5] At one time it described itself as a news agency run by Israeli believers in Yeshua. [6]
Dutch WP has https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Today. From /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Israel_today it appears there once may have been an article in English WP.

I've noticed some concerted POV pushing by a couple of revived accounts on nearly all Israeli political party articles over the last couple of months – all of them are being moved one position to the left; Meretz was changed from "left" to "left to far-left"; Labor from "centre-left" to "centre-left to left", Yesh Atid from "centre" to "centre to centre-left", National Unity from "centre-right" to "centre-right to centre", Moledet and Mafdal–Religious Zionism from "far-right" to "right to far-right" etc. Worth keeping an eye on this.

On October 2023, דוד שי (David Shay) announced a WhatsApp group to "fight" against anti-Israel bias in English Wikipedia. According to the announcement on Hebrew Wikipedia [9], the group seems to be coordinated by שלומית ליר (Shlomit Lir). It is also advertised on the Hebrew Wikipedia Facebook group, which is often moderated by Shani (WMF). The group publicly self-styles itself as "Wikipedia Command Center", and seems to serve as a private coordination hub for pro-Israel editing, focusing on a list of English Wikipedia articles. Since the group references WikiProject Israel, I bring it up here. How does this group comply with WP:CANVASS, WP:MEATPUPPET, WP:NPOV, etc? MarioGom ( talk) 15:38, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Starting today, a user has raised issues with multiple bios written for people killed on October 7. There may be genuine notability issues with some of these articles, but they also suggested that Vivian Silver (which I wrote) be deleted. When I challenged this, they proposed deletions on two other articles I wrote, Negev Institute for Strategies of Peace and Development and Project Rozana, on the grounds they were part of a "legitimization campaign". I bring this up here to ensure other eyes are on these articles, especially if deletion nominations are made, since I can't be sure that this user is working in good faith.
The other bios that this user has raised issues with are Jayar Davidov, Roee Edan, Hayim Katsman, Roi Levy, Ofir Libstein, Izhar Peled, Yonatan Steinberg, and Yahav Winner. ForsythiaJo ( talk) 22:24, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, the entries mentioned in List of towns and villages depopulated during the 1947–1949 Palestine war, List of villages depopulated during the Arab–Israeli conflict and Category:Villages depopulated during the Arab–Israeli conflict and other articles also in other languages do not have unified/appropriate properties in wikidata, about 20 out of the 600~ depopulated villages are clearly marked as such in wikidata, others are left as instances of "human settelment", "village" or "former human settlement", and with inconsistent (or non-existing property for) location, country ...etc, and a few have the properties relating to the timeframe of their depopulation. wikidata is still lacking/behind in some "technical" level such as describing the former population. But those still require consistency and inclusion of missing properties.
Adding appropriately consistent properties to the remaining hundreds of items as this is disregarded/underacknowledged information is vital for any general attempt for reflection/contextualization that is genuine. Uwe a ( talk) 14:23, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
The concept of Indigeneity is often invoked in contemporary discourse on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, but I don't see any article on the subject.

Certain statements in the above (locked) article require updating in the light of the opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem on Monday 14 April 2018. Particular examples include "The United States has never officially relinquished its early support of the corpus separatum." and "official U.S. documents and web sites do not refer to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel" as well as various changes of tenses from presen/perfect to past or pluperfect. I raised the issue on the talk page but so far no action has been taken.

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

So there are a ton of articles on Kahanism and Kahanists, to the point of there being a category (actually three categories). Would it make sense to just make it into a series template? The reason why is that many of the articles are linked together, however many articles relating to the subject have not been updated. It is also common for ideologies, and other topics with several closely related pages to have an article series. Also regarding if it is notable enough, I think it is less a matter of if it is notable and more a matter of organization of the pages and allowing people to research the topic faster without having to deal with outdated pages.

Several articles that I have recently submitted have been deleted. The reason given is that they do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. According to the guidelines, Wikipedia requires significant coverage from reliable independent sources. All the entries deleted or proposed for deletion received extensive coverage in the Israeli English media, Globes, TheMarker and Calcalist. These articles were not paid for by the companies, the publications are the largest in the country with a good reputation for reliability and independence.

I've done a bit of minor clean up, but there's still some issues that need sorting, particularly with respect to the sourcing (it seems that most of them are to documents, etc. uploaded to Commons). I'm assuming the subject meets WP:ACADEMIC and is notable for an article to be written, but some serious trimming/rewriting might be needed to bring the article more inline with current policies and guidelines. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 13:07, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi all. I just want to preface this by saying that I'm pretty new to editing Wikipedia, and I am also not Jewish and I don't know much about Israeli culture or media - so I am posting out of random curiosity/interest as I don't have any knowledge to actually contribute to this WikiProject. Anyway, Netflix has just released their 5 part documentary miniseries "The Devil Next Door" on the trial of John Demjanjuk in Jerusalem the 1980s. From what I have been reading on twitter, a lot of people around the world are learning about this case for the first time through this docu-series. One of the people who gets the most screen time is Demjanjuk's Israeli defence lawyer, Yoram Sheftel. I have noticed that Sheftel does not have his own English language Wikipedia page, which seems odd because he definitely meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. In the documentary, he relishes in being 'the most hated person in Israel' at the time. A quick google has shown that he has continued to take really controversial cases throughout the years and that he regularly makes inflammatory/controversial statements on his radio show (apparently he was suspended from the radio just a few days ago?). Lots of people (such as myself) are going to look up his name after watching the Netflix series. I think he definitely needs his own article ASAP because this doco is going to drive a lot of traffic towards pages related to the Demjanjuk trial. But like I said, I don't have any knowledge or authority in this area, so I just wanted to throw this suggestion out to you all Apriljennifer ( talk) 20:25, 9 November 2019 (UTC).
I just saw that there was a deletion discussion for an actor by the name of Guy Loel. It looks like he's really only acted in Hebrew language productions and shows, so I doubt that there will be much coverage in English about him. His IMDb profile shows that he's had a lot of roles in various TV shows and over multiple episodes, so I didn't know if there was anyone here who would be willing to do a search for Hebrew language sourcing. I'll try to do what I can, but I don't really have the ability to search in Hebrew since I'm not familiar with the language.

There is an RfC about the inclusion of comments about Eli Cohen (brought on by the recent Netflix series about him) here: Talk:Eli_Cohen#RfC 22:51, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
This description was recently added. I tried to change it to this, which I feel is neutral and matches the article itself, but it got quickly reverted. “ WarKosign ” 22:22, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
Philosophy of human settlements and how they make other humans feel. Talpiot is a neighborhood. If you stand in Talpiot, you could say that it "constitutes" as an illegal Israeli settlement. You could say that Talpiot is not in "recognized" Israeli territory or to say that it was "illegally" constructed. But Talpiot looks, acts and feels simply like a neighborhood in Jerusalem. The term "settlement" first and foremost refers to a human settlement. A neighborhood is part of a city, the latter being a type of settlement. I guess that would mean that a neighborhood is also a settlement. But the term "Israeli Settlement" refers specifically to Israeli settlements that were built in the West Bank after 1967. Now, East Jerusalem neighborhoods clearly constitute as Israeli settlements, because they are some type of a human settlement, built by the Israeli people, outside of the Green Line, after 1967. With that said, in practice, they are neighborhoods in the city of Jerusalem no matter what people 'think' or what is the people's 'opinion' about the whole topic. Therefore, I think that WarKosign's description is sufficient. Someone who reads about Talpiot knows already the legal situation, thanks to the lead section. And people with a bit of common sense would spot that it doesn't say "Jerusalem" but say "East Jerusalem". An innocently, ignorant reader, with a very low sense of curiosity but enough ambition to read for five whole minutes, would be able to understand that Talpiot is a neighborhood in East Jerusalem, regarded by the international community as an illegal Israeli settlement, which is obviously the least interesting thing about Talpiot. Most of the people who read about Talpiot are not random readers from an Igloo who never heard about the place and came across the name by accident. These are people who know a thing or two about Israel, Palestine, and Jerusalem, and probably wish to learn more about one of the three. So putting "Israeli Settlements" after every five words in these articles, their infoboxes, their categories, their wiki links, their "see also" sections and now their short description, as if they are fresh Golan Heights wine bottles marked by the EU, is both unnecessary and annoying. For Israeli or Jewish readers, this is unpleasant, as if it implies a secret or clear hostile POV of Wikipedia, that not only it favors the International opinion (which makes sense, even though it is also a Palestinian POV) but it also shoves it up in your face as if Wikipedia was Muhammad Ali and "Israeli Settlements" were his fists. I think we can all say that pro-Israeli editors have unhappily accepted the reality in which people who murder babies in their beds are labeled as "assailants" by Wikipedia, in order to preserve NPOV or something like that, which is quite upsetting (no one dares saying anything about 9/11), so can you at least, not degrade anything related to our land our place of inhabitance which we have built and developed for years, as illegal under international law?
Long story short, I give no damn about the actual dispute. This is Wikipedia, and it feels like Wikipedia is repeating "Israeli settlement" too much, when it is clear enough already, and frankly shifts readers from the actual topics of the articles, and also disappoint many of the Israeli and Jewish readers who simply want to read about what they honestly think are neighborhoods in their country, when there is already enough information about their legal status. Go with WarKosign's description, it is factual, neutral and deals more with the actual topic in hand.-- Bolter21 ( talk to me) 20:23, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Just because operations are planned ahead in no way contradicts nor precludes that incidents occurring later on may serve as their trigger. Indeed, most military responses follow prior planning.

The page Politics of Israel says that Politics in Israel is dominated by Zionist parties. It is a weird statement for the following reasons: Zionism is a movement for creation of a Jewish state. Israel has been created by UN in 1948 as a Jewish state. The current politics of Israel is not about discussing whether the state of Israel should exist as a Jewish state - it already does.

To Whom it May Concern: We have just added another WikiProject Israel sub-page entitled Wikipedia:WikiProject Israel/Books, copyedited from an existing page Wikipedia:WikiProject Palestine/Books, with minor changes, since the page primarily concerns books treating on the historical Land of Israel, from a historical-geographical perspective: i.e. its towns, villages, historical sites, archaeological sites, etc. before the founding of a political state in the mid-20th century. The page is meant to serve as a data-base for resource material related to the geography of the Land of Israel, as recorded by travelers, researchers, archaeologists, in the past few centuries. The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) has extensively made use of the research material provided by the British Survey of Western Palestine, their maps and general information of sites visited by them in the late 1800s. Any avid scholar of Jewish history, geography, and demographics of the country, should have these resources at his disposal.

There is a lot of biases against israel on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict which is to be expected from a very controversial subject such as this, but we need more concrete information on the history and hows they were both offered a state and that palestinians declined saying we want it all. I might also sound bias and I get that but I am hoping that I could work with a team from both sides to help edit and provide only facts and no opinions mixed in.
Hello Wikipedians!
I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia and the Israel-Palestine conflict. I will be looking at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors (that's you!), contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.
If you are an active (or previously active) editor of pages related to the conflict, I would love to hear from you. I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdriEAkTQCq5Us26lxEqbjfw4jh3ktqTLaE8FN7fYY7Eph1Fw/viewform?usp=sf_link BEFORE 8 AUGUST 2021.

This was accepted at AFC, but I am concerned about its referencing. Were I able to read Hebrew I would be able to assess my concerns directly, but I have to use machine translation. It is a paid contribution by a self declared paid editor (allowed under the rules), but the referencing appears to be churnalism, and does not aid the article in passing WP:NCORP in a documented and referenced manner. That renders it vulnerable to a deletion process even though I am 90% sure the org passes WP:NCORP.

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Hello everyone!!! I am posting here at User:Loew Galitz's prompting. In several Jewish towns, there are badly mangled Arabic transliterations of the Hebrew names. For example Or Yehuda or Kiryat Haim. Some are tagged with "romanization needed", but there is no romanization because it the same name as Hebrew with a letter to letter mapping. For example Or Yehuda is rendered as "أور يهوده" in Arabic. This amount to a letter-to-letter conversion, but has nothing to do with the underlying language. Or, light, is in Arabic nur نور. But the name that is used is أور with an Alef. The is a simple mapping of א to أ, then ו to و, and ר to ر. Same with יהודה (Yehuda) that is mapped letter-letter to يهوده, but Arabic has its own way of writing Judah and Judas, and it is يهوذا, ending with an alif and not ha: Arabic Wikipedia of Judah (son of Jacob).
Taking or Yehuda further, there is no Arabic on the town's website, logo, or welcome sign. The CBS doesn't have Arab residents in the town, it is a Jewish town. There is little to no Arabic in the city.
Arabic does have a special status in Israel, but it only has effect in Arabic or mixed zones, not in towns without Arabs.
I propose that these not good Arabic transliterations be removed from towns without Arab population or Arab ties. It is one matter when a town has an Arab name, like Lod: اللد derives from the same place, but is not a letter to letter mapping of לוד. But there is no purpose in forcing what might appear on an Arabic road map. חוקרת (Researcher) ( talk) 05:33, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
The CBS doesn't have Arab residents in the town, it is a Jewish town. There is little to no Arabic in the city.It is reasonable to presume that the Arab residents of the city have an Arabic name for the place that they live. We would need a source for it of course. Onceinawhile ( talk) 20:32, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
The above is a valid discussion, but my point was that an English reader has no idea whether the arabic writing is a transliteration from hebrew or natural arabic name. Therefore I requested that there must be always a romanization from arabic. There is no such thing as "there is no romanization" The best you can say "we don't have reliable sources that provide romanization". In the case of Or Yehuda one may write "(transliterated from Hebrew)" or "there is no Native Arabic name for the place". Loew Galitz ( talk) 16:41, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
Few notes on what has been written above. First of all, Israel, at least until recently (can't really tell anymore), had Arabic as an official language. Whether there are Arab citizens in Israel towns or not, does not change the fact that Or Yehuda does have an Arabic transliterated name on road signs. I see no problem with the fact that the Arabic name is a complete transliteration of the Hebrew one. Nobody calls the village of Jisr az-Zarqa as "The Blue Bridge" or הגשר הכחול. Hebrew speakers know this place by its Arabic name. Now, even if no Arabs live in Or Yehuda, which as Oncenawhile has pointed out, is false, still there are Arabs who work at Or Yehuda or visit it for all sort of occasions. If you go to Israel's National Insurance website in Arabic, you will have a page dedicated to Or Yehuda using the Arabic transliteration which is not bad. An Arab going to Or Yehuda wouldn't tell the cab driver "please drive me to Nur al-Yahuda". As for the tag, you may remove it and change "Arabic" to "Arabic transliteration" if it is the case, unlike places with actual Arabic names such as Lod or Nazareth. Going by the ethnicity of the residents would probably force us to give the Russian transliteration of Bat Yam, which is an idea I personally find interesting, but I'll keep it with English-Hebrew-Arabic names.

I have nothing more to add to the SPI thread. I believe the involvement of the two low-[enwiki]edit-count users at the RM in such a short time-window was statistically impossible to be a coincidence. I had missed the fact that despite their low edit counts, these two editors are highly experienced on hewiki. The admin at the SPI said it seems to be off-wiki canvassing.
@ Tombah, Eladkarmel, and Atbannett: please could you confirm for us here - did you have any off-wiki communication about the Al-Aqsa Mosque RM prior to your involvement there? Onceinawhile ( talk) 09:31, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
Against my better judgment, a couple of things. A. Onceinawhile, that SPI was baseless. Atbannett has been here for 16 years and while he or she does not have a ton of edits here, they have some 55 thousand on the Hebrew Wikipedia. Tombah's edits seem miles away from Eladkarmel in a ton of ways, from the substance to the formatting to the level of English. You really should reconsider the way youre seemingly interrogating others, play the ball not the man. If you have actual evidence of misconduct, not this seems odd or it doesnt feel right to me, then you can present that, but nothing in that SPI shows any evidence that those editors are the same. And they are not obligated to answer your questions. B. This section is an abuse of this Wikiproject, and the one below suggesting sometimes it is easier to talk in Hebrew as though this WikiProject, or any other page, should be used to coordinate strategy against an editor or page is risible, and any editor who participates in this WikiProject and doesnt want it associated with such blatantly poor behavior should shut this down asap and even consider reporting the editor yourself. This is unreal, and the admins that I know of that are listed as members should do something about it. Pinging Ynhockey and Number 57. nableezy - 22:13, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi,
Most companies on the TA 125 index have an article, it seems like a no-brainer. Yet, a draft for Israel Canada was declined recently, even though it is one of the most prominent Israeli real estate companies in Israel and the main sponsor for Maccabi Tel Aviv Football Club, as well as having Subsidiaries that are responsible for some of the most ambitious real estate projects in Israel today.
The decline was made by stating that the article was not supported by the references; it was said it only had routine mentions. Which is not true. Obviously, since it is an Israeli company, most mentions are from Israeli websites, but they are notable news organizations such as Globes, Calcalist, The Jerusalem Post, etc.
If I can please have some assistance from active members of this project so I may improve the draft and get it approved, it would be appreciated.

There's been a discussion at Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Ori_Gordin relating to this article. I've found sources for most of the biographical details, but struggling to pin down "He was born in San Diego where his parents studied, and the family moved to Israel in 1971" also I can't see a definitive source that his mother was called Rachel. This may be in one of the sources over at הלל גורדין – ויקיפדיה (wikipedia.org) or he:אורי_גורדין but I'm not able to read them, would appreciate anyone sourcing the above either here, and I'll put it in, or at the article directly.

Hey, someone uploaded this image to Commons, claiming it depicts Jerusalem's Lions' Gate some time in the late 1960s. Except it doesn't, numerous details do not fit. So the question is, what does it actually show? Users on Hebrew wiki have pointed out that Lions or Leopards are popular motifs of Sultan Baybars or Lebanon's Shihab dynasty. Also, since it was taken by an Israeli, likely depicts a location in Jerusalem, the West Bank or the Sinai. Any help would be appreciated. Poliocretes ( talk) 15:24, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
Hello! There is an AfD for Yoel Drubin whose article claims that he is one of the main founders of the city of Rishon LeZion. As this is a major city and quite an impressive claim, it would be great to back it up with something concrete and not send this article to draft space. It has been unreferenced for over a decade, there is no Hebrew article, and only minoror passing references of him in English. If there are any Hebrew-speaking editors who would be interested in finding sources, it would be greatly appreciated! Best, Kazamzam ( talk) 14:56, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Gila Canfy Steinitz (Supreme Court website, Haaretz, i24), Gila Kanfi-Steinitz (Times of Israel, Globes), Gila Kanfei-Steinitz (JPost, Ynet). I intend on going with the first variation. Would like to hear your opinions. Mooonswimmer 00:54, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
Due to restoration of US copyright in the wake of the URAA, post-war images from Israel are usually still under US copyright. Therefore, they should not be hosted on Wikimedia Commons or as free files on the English Wikipedia, and they are liable to be deleted from there as soon as someone gets round to it. In particular, this affects the portrait images of a number of politicians such as those in commons:Category:Members of the First Knesset and Category:Members of the Second Knesset etc. It is likely that a large percentage of them are eligible for non-free use as infobox images on the English Wikipedia, but this would have to be considered on a case by case basis. Any support from this WikiProject in transferring such image from Commons to Wikipedia non-free use and creating appropriate rationales would be highly welcome!

I'm working on article 2023 Israeli judicial reform. Many other editors are participating and we generally manage to accommodate different approaches. At the moment, I feel stuck as one fellow editor, supported by another Wikipedia editor, is arguing for a structural change which is not, AFAICS, supported by the information contained in the article.

We have made a new article: Iranian democracy movement that is intended as a WP:Broad concept article covering the political movements and many protests calling for regime change, and a new constitutional framework for Iran, in accord with the demands and aspirations of the Iranian people. It follows upon a recent summit meeting of diaspora opposition leaders, but not limited to that group or event alone. I first notified the other project of course: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Iran#New_Article_-_Iranian_democracy_movement, but thought to post it here as well, since its linked on the article Iran–Israel_proxy_conflict. There its noted that the regime often accuses these dissidents and opposition of being "Israel's army". I doubt that's true in any concrete organizational sense, but there may be a confluence of moral and intellectual solidarity somewhere, and perhaps there are some Persian Jews and Israelis who will find this relevant and consider contributing to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaredscribe ( talk • contribs) 22:33, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Came across Mizrachi (religious Zionism) which is really a mishmash of a page. The page began as a stub in May 2004 and went from there. There's no mention of the World Mizrachi Organization and what it does. Id like to improve it and wrote as such on the talk page. These concerns were first brought up in 2004 and then someone followed up with a comment 2 and a half years later!

I have taken the long overdue step of creating an Al-Aqsa Mosque compound page to encompass the full architectural history of Al-Aqsa all in one place. This was not done previously, with there being separate articles for the Dome of the Rock, Al-Aqsa Mosque and Minarets of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, etc., but no single page drawing them all together historically and architecturally. The temple mount page provides some architectural overview, but it is so bound up in narrating the full history of the site and is substructure (so much so that it uses the 'mountain' infobox template, not the 'religious building' one) that it has never done full credit to the actual superstructure. Now there is a page that ties it all together. Iskandar323 ( talk) 09:09, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello WikiProject Israel:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long
Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

A question was asked at the IDF Talk page on consistent spelling of defense/defence. I answered as best as I could. Absent some really distinct, well-defined, well-documented Israeli English written variant, would this WikiProject be interested in making some generic guideline, such as to prefer American English spelling for Israel-related articles (or at least those of the past few decades)? (As to the question of 'If it ain't broke, why bother?' -- imo it's much better for everyone to state explicitly somewhere that some US-like style is preferred, with plain reasoning and sources, rather than to just take for granted that the US style will be dominant on WP.)

I've noticed some concerted POV pushing by a couple of revived accounts on nearly all Israeli political party articles over the last couple of months – all of them are being moved one position to the left; Meretz was changed from "left" to "left to far-left"; Labor from "centre-left" to "centre-left to left", Yesh Atid from "centre" to "centre to centre-left", National Unity from "centre-right" to "centre-right to centre", Moledet and Mafdal–Religious Zionism from "far-right" to "right to far-right" etc. Worth keeping an eye on this.

There may be genuine notability issues with some of these articles, but they also suggested that Vivian Silver (which I wrote) be deleted. When I challenged this, they proposed deletions on two other articles I wrote, Negev Institute for Strategies of Peace and Development and Project Rozana, on the grounds they were part of a "legitimization campaign". I bring this up here to ensure other eyes are on these articles, especially if deletion nominations are made, since I can't be sure that this user is working in good faith.
The other bios that this user has raised issues with are Jayar Davidov, Roee Edan, Hayim Katsman, Roi Levy, Ofir Libstein, Izhar Peled, Yonatan Steinberg, and Yahav Winner. ForsythiaJo ( talk) 22:24, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
I think what I found in English is enough to establish notability, but I am not happy about some of the sources and am looking for something higher quality. FortunateSons ( talk) 09:34, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, the entries mentioned in List of towns and villages depopulated during the 1947–1949 Palestine war, List of villages depopulated during the Arab–Israeli conflict and Category:Villages depopulated during the Arab–Israeli conflict and other articles also in other languages do not have unified/appropriate properties in wikidata, about 20 out of the 600~ depopulated villages are clearly marked as such in wikidata, others are left as instances of "human settelment", "village" or "former human settlement", and with inconsistent (or non-existing property for) location, country ...etc, and a few have the properties relating to the timeframe of their depopulation. wikidata is still lacking/behind in some "technical" level such as describing the former population. But those still require consistency and inclusion of missing properties.
Adding appropriately consistent properties to the remaining hundreds of items as this is disregarded/underacknowledged information is vital for any general attempt for reflection/contextualization that is genuine. Uwe a ( talk) 14:23, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
The concept of Indigeneity is often invoked in contemporary discourse on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, but I don't see any article on the subject. Palestinians are often referred to as "Indigenous" by pro-Palestinian advocates and likewise Zionists often claim that Jewish people are "Indigenous" to the Land of Israel. I think there should be an article, but I'm not sure what the title should be. Bohemian Baltimore ( talk) 01:50, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
