Should the ] combatants be referred to as '''''militants''''' or '''''terrorists'''''?

Should the attack be referred to in the short description and the ] as a '''''terror attack'''''?

] (]) 15:01, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
Please answer the first question and the second question with brief statements in the two Surveys. Please do not reply to other editors in the Surveys. That is what the Discussions are for. In the Discussion sections, remember that ] is ].



===Survey 1: Militants or Terrorists?===
Should the ] combatants be referred to as '''''militants''''' or '''''terrorists'''''?
*'''Both''' In general as ''militants'' but mention that they have been designated as ''terrorists'' by multiple countries. ] (]) 02:55, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''Terrorists''' (invited by the bot) Targeting of civilians in this context is slam-dunk terrorism. "Militant" is a totally different thing and not even established and also not a good choice on term even if it was. <b style="color: #0000cc;">''North8000''</b> (]) 18:56, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''Either or both.'''{{sbb}} No offense intended to North8000 immediately above, but the question under policy is very much not what we think is an appropriate descriptor in the circumstances, but the ] given to the descriptions in the overall body of sources discussing the attack. (Although as a side note, I think N8 is correct that this is paradigmatic terrorism). While the volume of such sources covering these events makes it quite difficult to develop a hyper accurate sense of what the ratios are in this instance, I think it's pretty clear that both have been used liberally, across a broad swath of sources. {{pb}}Really, it's a matter of context and the specific statement in question, because most of the individuals that such statements will refer to will be both things (that is, militants as a general matter, and terrorists with regard to the festival). So, for example "a terrorist attack by Hamas militants" would be apt, and no element of such a statement would be out of step with the average source here. I think there are probably plenty even among those who are more sympathetic to the Palestinian view than the Israeli as a general matter who would still be able to recognize why these were terroristic events and why sources describe them as such. '']]'' 03:00, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''Terrorists'''. It was a savage attack on civilians. ] (]) 06:38, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''Militants''' in general (ie. Wikivoice), '''terrorists''' only where attributed to sources using that term, per @Senorangel and ]. ] (]) 07:57, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''Militants:''' There is literally a guideline on this, ], and the way to term ] should be and has been determined on its page . I'm not even clear if local RFCs should attempt overrule a guideline in this manner, and the notion also flies in the face of the principle of consistency. A group should not episodically be labelled something on one page, based on a single act, and carry a different set of labels on other pages based other sets of actions - descriptions of entities should, wherever possible, be broadly consistent between pages. Moreover, this attack did not involve just Hamas, so the question is, to a certain degree a misnomer. Is this an RFC to re-label just Hamas, or also the PIJ, PFLP, Lion's Den etc.? I see no clarity on this. ] (]) 11:43, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
:::{{tq|There is literally a guideline on this, ], and the way to term ] should be and has been determined on its page. I'm not even clear if local RFCs should attempt overrule a guideline in this manner"}}
::It's complicated: ] can override the application of a ] (] and all that), but such an action will typically only be endorsed by a consensus of experienced editors in cases where it is necessary to facilitate accurate, reliable information and/or comply with other PAGs (because ] is an important factor). However, note that in this instance MOS:LABEL is ''not'' a ], but rather a style page. As a much more minor expression of core community consensus, it certainly has to bend to give way to ]/] where the style guidance is in strong and direct tension with that pillar policy, as it very arguably is here.
:::{{tq|"A group should not episodically be labelled something on one page, based on a single act, and carry a different set of labels on other pages based other sets of actions - descriptions of entities should, wherever possible, be broadly consistent between pages"}}
::I agree, but looking at the disputed wording here, this doesn't seem to be a question of trying to redefine any primary labels for Hamas as a group. Rather, the question is how to describe the particular assailants in this case, and as to that, it's pretty clear that there is a healthy volume of sources supporting "terrorists" as ] in that regard--probably even due enough for Wikivoice. Now, others in this discussion have proposed leaning into heavily attributed language in order to split the difference, and that may very well be a good option here, depending on what exactly that wording looks like. But personally, if consensus agrees to just describe the participants of the attack as terrorists generally, I think in this case it would be consistent with policy and permissible, given the weight of the sourcing.
:::{{tq|"Moreover, this attack did not involve just Hamas, so the question is, to a certain degree a misnomer. Is this an RFC to re-label just Hamas, or also the PIJ, PFLP, Lion's Den etc.?"}}
::That's a good point, although I think it's going to take some time in order to reliably source the involvement of any organizational parties beyond Hamas. In any event, I do think we need to avoid any overly simplified descriptions about "Hamas terrorists". That said, "Hamas" and "terrorists", as separate descriptors, are probably unavoidable in the context of various different statements here--including in the lead, and quite possibly in Wikivoice. '']]'' 07:27, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''Terrorists''':
** As the perpetrators of an unambiguous terrorist attack (politically motivated mass murder of civilians without any direct military objectives), they have become terrorists.
** I disagree with my esteemed colleague Iskandar323. This doesn't automatically label Hamas as a terrorist organization or contradict prior discussions, as we are talking about the perpetrators of this attack specifically - the designation of Hamas as a group is another question.
** There are plenty of existing articles that use 'terrorists' in wikivoice; this term is not banned.
** To comply with ], for balance, we should probably include the viewpoint of Hamas - "Hamas disputed this characterization; Since most of the partygoers were Israeli citizens, this makes them legitimate targets according to Hamas". ] (]) 12:56, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''Terrorists''' - The terrorists which committed these acts of terrorism are terrorists, whether or not you acknowledge that Hamas is a terrorist organization. ] (]) 13:08, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

===Discussion 1: Militants or Terrorists?===

===Survey 2: Terror Attack? ===
Should the attack be referred to in the short description and the ] as a '''''terror attack'''''?

*'''Weak yes''' (invited by the bot). It's applicable. "Weak" (compared to my strong opinion on the first question) because the alternate is not such a bad choice as the alternate in question #1 as written. The implicit alternative on this question is just "attack" which would also be fine. <b style="color: #0000cc;">''North8000''</b> (]) 19:00, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''Weak yes''' This is related to how it has or has not been described as an act of terrorism. ] (]) 02:55, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''Yes.'''{{sbb}} Per my comments above: it's not the only way to approach the description, but there's no denying that it's a defensible description, based on the ] of the sourcing. So long as the article as a whole strives to explain at least some of the historical background and broader context of the attack, describing these particular acts of violence in a fashion consistent with how the significant majority of RS do is not only acceptable and appropriate, but really the only option we have under our policies, which show deference to the descriptions in said sources, not our own idiosyncratic views on the matter. '']]'' 03:07, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''Yes'''. It was a savage attack on civilians. ] (]) 06:40, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''No''' except when referencing use of the term by sources (ie. "described as"), per ], ], ], ], and ], amongst others. ] (]) 08:03, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''Yes''', this is widely agreed upon by mainstream sources. It is no different from the September 11 attacks in this regard, which are described in wikivoice as a terror attack. There is no way that a mass murder of civilians without a military objective can be described as an 'attack'. ] (]) 12:39, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
*:The events at the festival were quite different in at least one key way, and that is sense in which they were . Most terror attacks are premeditated. ] (]) 12:46, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
*::Calling it unplanned is absurd; it was a coordinated attack planned months, or years in advance. There are many terror attacks, probably most, where the attacker decides to carry out an attack and only chooses the actual victims randomly. ] (]) 13:03, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
*:::The Israeli intelligence services very well may speak in absurdities, but as clearly stated in the attached piece, the consensus is there was no advance awareness of the festival. ] (]) 13:21, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

:'''Yes''' - Action condemned as a terror attack globally. Actions constitute terrorism per definition. Wide notability in reference as largest terror attack on Israel. Furthermore, footage spread also to induce terror in civilian populations. In accordance with NPOV as mentioned. International media and organizations refer to it as a terror attack. We should include Hamas denial of their actions. ] (]) 13:18, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
::Are you saying we should say it ''with citations'' from those “International media and organisations” or just in general regardless of attribution? ] (]) 17:08, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
*'''Absolutely, yes''', Hamas and their allies are recognized by countries around the world and most mainstream sources as terrorists. This should be reflected here. Attribution is inappropriate since this is the standard position held by most credible sources (a list of those calling them terrorists would be absurdly long).

===Discussion 2: Terror Attack? ===
{{Ping|Robert McClenon}} In the last paragraph, massacre is written as a terrorist act, what other changes do you want to make? ] (]) 17:10, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
::] - I do not "want" to make any specific changes to the article, or to leave the article unchanged rather than make any specific changes. I am asking the questions neutrally. ] (]) 19:40, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
:'''Terrorist act''' is the most descriptive. Partly because "massacre" is a bit vague and open to interpretation in serval directions, the word "massacre" can cover both terrorism and genocide. Terrorism is a more precise description of the power dynamic and more likely motives. There is not really any neutral way to describe killing (e.g. I find the IDF tendency to say they "neutralize" their opponents very off-putting). But the word '''terrorist''' is probably best avoided, because '''militant''' or '''combatant''' are better options in those cases. ] (]) 00:50, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

It's usually credited to ] but ] seems to be putting "Haaretz" in I think it appeared in ] long before Haaretz, a very strongly pro-Palestine source.
:*:The more reputable success aren't saying Israel did the entire massacre, just that some of the civilians killed were caught in somewhat indiscriminate gun fire directed at militants.

The reported "denial" by the PNA of Hamas' responsibility is mistranslated.

  • Stephen Harrison (October 26, 2023). "Misplaced Pages Is Covering the War in Israel and Gaza Better Than X". Slate. Retrieved October 31, 2023. For instance, the article about the Supernova Music Festival, where Hamas attacked and killed 260 Israeli civilians, states that the attack was conducted by Hamas "militants" rather than "terrorists," a decision that Misplaced Pages editors reached based on the site's guidance against contentious labels.

Revert

@Ïvana, could you please explain your revert? Where are the NPOV issues? Thanks. HaOfa (talk) 08:19, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

A mass lead rewrite needs consensus even without taking into account the addition of WP:LOADED terms intended to push a particular POV. What exactly is wrong with the current lead? It already succinctly describes the content of the body using RS, and it has been a stable version for months. - Ïvana (talk) 21:32, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
I think you need to elaborate on what exactly do you find to be "WP:LOADED" and what exactly do you find to be a POV push? The Mountain of Eden (talk) 21:40, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
If your concern is about the rape allegations not being addressed (which can be fixed with a single line instead of rewriting a big chunk of the lead) I don't think the sentence In addition to the massacre, many more were injured, and atrocities including the rape of women were committed. is neutral at all or following WP:NPOV. It is also not a good reflection of the body of the article which says that the IDF has not verified those claims. Both things need to be mentioned. - Ïvana (talk) 21:58, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
Yes, the article says that the IDF has not verified the claims, but it doesn't say that the IDF disputed the claims. The Mountain of Eden (talk) 22:04, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
I'm also unclear on what your specific concerns are. The lede you restored isn't neutral since it has no mention of sexual assaults. — xDanielx /C\ 21:43, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
The lede I restored has been the stable version for months, I didn't unilaterally chose it. - Ïvana (talk) 21:58, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
That in itself is absolutely not an excuse to revert. The Mountain of Eden (talk) 22:00, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
It is when you're trying to unnecessarily rewrite most of it using loaded words. Again, if your main concern is that the alleged rapes are not being mentioned, a single line would suffice. For example: Hamas also took 40 people hostage, and men and women were reportedly subject to sexual and gender-based violence. Linking to the main article that goes into detail about this seems like the best choice. - Ïvana (talk) 22:49, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
Agree with @Ïvana that a major revision of the lede in a way that does appear to be pushing a POV is unwarranted. If an addition is to be made to include mention of rape, as it is also on the page, that should be fine, but not a major rewrite of the lede that's been the consensus for a long time. That requires consensus to be obtained for it first, and no reason has been provided for the other additions and changes.
I went ahead and added the suggested text by Ïvana to the lede, I don't believe that's controversial.

Hamas is a terrorist organization. Not a militant group. Get facts straight before you provide that on Misplaced Pages. 50.113.64.203 (talk) 05:10, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

 Not done Misplaced Pages uses an impartial tone to describe things as they are reported in reliable sources. "Militant group" is an accepted term, while "terrorist organization" is more contentious and should be avoided. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 06:38, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
Woke nonsense. Youre basically saying, "This term hurts my feelings so don't say it." Some things in life are contentious and uncomfortable and avoiding them is the opposite of what you should do. Hamas IS a terrorist organization and this is the general consensus of the majority of the population. Why would you even think of contesting that unless you support them yourself? Dethgryp (talk) 15:39, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
See One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. The Mountain of Eden (talk) 00:17, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
This logic only applies if they are falsely accused. When 9 out of 10 people across the world consider you a terrorist organization because of your actions, then the "nuh uh no im not" argument no longer holds weight. If you steal an apple and claim youre not a thief, that doesnt make it so. Attacking a concert full of peaceful civilian is not "freedom fighting." Dethgryp (talk) 00:27, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
I like that stealing apple example. The person who steals an apple does not get the label of "thief" until a court has convicted the person of the crime of stealing the apple. Unfortunately there is no authority to convict Hamas of terrorism.
Additionally, your 9 out of 10 might not apply in this particular case. According to this map, the majority of the world does not think Hamas are terrorists. The Mountain of Eden (talk) 00:34, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
We both know thats incredibly false. Once someone is accused of and labeled something, it tends to follow them for their entire lives even if they are never convicted of the crime. It happens everyday, especially with todays cancel culture. Dethgryp (talk) 15:30, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Lol "according to this map that has zero context." What a joke. Dethgryp (talk) 15:31, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Nova music festival relocated and rescheduled

The Nova music festival was originally scheduled on oct 6th and on a different location. Due to „unforeseen challenges and infrastructure challenges „ the festival was relocated and extended for one day, to oct. 7th. 178.197.223.150 (talk) 08:04, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

The following text already exists in the article:
"the festival was originally approved for only two days, and was not approved for a third day (which was the day of the massacre) until the day before the festival began"
Is there anything that is inaccurate or missing that needs to be modified? If so, how? The Mountain of Eden (talk) 15:03, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Excessive citations

Citation bombing (overkill), you cannot add credibility without adding information in first paragraph. Ref 5,6,8,9 don't add anything to the first paragraph. Exutic (talk) 19:58, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
