== RFC: ] ==
== We need lists of settlement expansions and Palestinian home demolitions. ==

We should have an article that is a time line of settlement expansion and another that is a timeline of Palestinian home demolitions. There are similar timelines for Kassam rockets, thus there is precedents for such things. Having a timeline really brings the point home.

Also, this should be added somewhere:

== Tittles, oPT '''Occupied Palestinian Territory''' ==
I am new to this, but I am planning on learning fast and becoming more active.
I think we need to start a new project that aims to changing all what is listed as Gaza and the West Bank, Palestinian territories, Palestine, etc... to the '''Occupied Palestinian Territory''' - which represents the wholesome of all Palestinian territories occupied after 1967.
It is also the politically and legally correct term used by all internationally mandated (UN) organizations and institutions.

== Gilboa ==

Hello,
I've just been looking at the ] article, which says that it lies on the green line. The article currently has some things about the Israeli activities on their side of the mountain, but I wondered if there might be anything to add about the Palestinian side (otherwise the article will end up describing just one half of the mountain, rather than both halves)? ] (]) 15:05, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
:Well, there's an article on ] which you could use to incorporate info into the Mount Gilboa article. I don't know too much about the mountain myself. --] (]) 19:26, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

==], ]==
Can you watch these articles? I don't usually involve myself with the Israel-Palestine conflict on Misplaced Pages due to the amount of POV assery involved, and I don't intend to.

Wael Zwaiter was a translator, and an intellectual. That is irrefutable. He was also the first target of ] and was assassinated in Rome. The Israelis believed him to be a terrorist, yet not proof of his terrorist activities has ever been offered.

Given the tenuous nature of the claim, you'd expect an well versed in policy such as ] to understand that it's not suitable to boldly state as fact, in the lead that he was a terrorist. I'm sure he does understand that it does not belong there, yet he continues to revert it in because it fits his binary worldview, citing "Massacre in Munich" by ] & ]. I'm not familiar with that publication, but I sincerely doubt that it offers incontrovertible evidence of his terrorist activities.

Emily Jacir is an artist who won the 2008 ] for a piece on Wael Zwaiter. IronDuke also thinks it worthwhile to state as fact that the subject was a terrorist. I'm not sure if this has gone on anywhere else, but would be grateful if others could watch these articles. ] (]) 15:00, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

:Thanks for the update. I replied on the talk page of the ] article. --] (]) 16:33, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

::This user is a sockpuppet, and I would advise caution in rushing to supports his/her edits. I find often in these cases the users in question are banned, and therefore people who supported them acted (albeit unwittingly) as meatpuppets for a banned user. <font color="green">]</font> 16:44, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:::I'm not really supporting the IP (as you have already noticed in the article), but banned or not banned, the point he/she made is a viable one. --] (]) 17:30, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::Respectfully, you are doing exactly that -- supporting the IP. I quote you: "Thanks for the update." This after the SPA anon sock refers to "POV assery." The whole post should have been ignored by you or, better yet, you should have chastised the anon sock SPA. Not rush off to join the ]. <font color="green">]</font> 02:05, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
::::::Man, what are you talking about? I responded to a post on the talk page of a project that I am active on. I don't care if it was an IP or administrator who posted the issue, it doesn't change the fact that it's an issue. Also, it was appropriate to post it at the project talk page instead of a user's talk page so I don't think it was canvassing. I apologize for not "chastising" the IP for being an SPA or using the term "POV assery". Let's not let this become a problem, because it's really not a big deal. I don't like getting into petty arguments that have nothing do with the article in question, but rather the editor in question. Regards, --] (]) 02:55, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::::No need for apologies, but you're minimizing the issue. The SPA part isn't great, but it's a fact of life on WP. It's the sock issue that's worrisome. Imagine editing articles on the IP conflict, but no one has a static account, and unidentifiable POV warriors on both sides revert and counter revert until articles are put into semi-permanent lockdown. What kind of chaos does that create? I'm sure you didn't mean to, but you contribute to it when you act as you did. Just please hesitate a moment next time, if you would. Thanks. <font color="green">]</font> 03:09, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
::::::::I still see nothing wrong with responding to the IP's post since it brought up a good point. I also see nothing wrong with me replying, "Thanks for the update". If the IP, or an established user for that matter, posted something troublesome or something that would cause trouble (edit wars) in an article, I wouldn't even give him/her the satisfaction of a reply, but I saw this post as a helpful one and it's not negatively affecting the already messy I/P conflict subject area here on Misplaced Pages. Regards, --] (]) 03:26, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::If you saw nothing wrong with the post, why were you apologizing for your behavior regarding it? Or was that not a real apology? And you didn't reply to my point: this is much bigger than generic tiresom IP squabbles -- if we let this sort of behavior go by, it would literally bring WP to a halt. I can say more on that if you like. <font color="green">]</font> 04:06, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::Actually, the first was sarcastic. Now that I've re-read the post, I regret not warning the IP to not insult editors (you in particular). The part I saw as helpful was notifying the project about the Zwaiter-terrorist issue so that we could find a solution to it. I don't really see how this guy/gal is a part of the wider issue you brought up, but nonetheless, for now on I will think twice shall this problem present itself again. Cheers! --] (]) 04:19, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::Thanks, Ameer, can't ask for fairer than that. Cheers. <font color="green">]</font> 19:52, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
::::I can explicitly state, that I'm not banned. And my status as an editor should have nothing to do with the valid points raised. If you are going to push such a blatant POV statement as fact, you're going to going to find opposition, from established and anonymous editors. Don't give me ad hominem bullshit such as "this user is a sockpuppet", this IP has only been used in a constructive manner, and has followed the relevant policies and guidelines.

::::Single purpose, maybe, but malicious, this is not. IronDuke felt, regardless of counter-claims, and lack of evidence, that it was suitable to label Zwaiter as a terrorist in the lead paragraph of that article. Whether or not the user has an account is irrelevant, it was a very poor judgment, and deserved criticism. ] (]) 18:51, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

:::::You can explicitly state you're not banned, but can you prove it? As your account is an SPA and is beginning to behave abusively, it can be ignored, if not banned outright. <font color="green">]</font> 19:10, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
::::::Please, don't patronise me. You can check my IP if you want, if you play nice to some checkuser, maybe they'll go fishing with you. Do you know any banned users editing articles on Palestine from the UK? I doubt it. Guilty until proven innocent? Is that how this place works? ] (]) 19:30, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::::You've admitted you're a SPA with another main account. IronDuke is correct - such accounts are presumed abusive. Please continue ths discussion under your main account. ] (]) 22:43, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

I saw nothing glaringly wrong with the ] entry, but rearranged and made the source of the accusation explicit on the ] page.] (]) 15:58, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

== Nizar Rayan article ==

I have tried to be nice and inclusive, but my attempt to create a semi-balanced article on Nizar Rayan is being frustrated by another editor, who is attempting, in my opinion, to create an anti-Nizar Rayan ]. What recourse do I have, and what is it best to do at this point? Thanks for any comments or advice.] (]) 15:47, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

:I'll pop in to have a look. I tried to introduce some balance a while ago, but those efforts largely came to naught. Perhaps an RfC on the issue would be worth a try. But let's see if more eyes and opinions came make a difference first. ]<sup>]</sup> 16:47, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

::Thanks, I'll be patient.] (]) 19:35, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

:::Well I cannot see for the life of me why your edits there are being opposed. I have asked Brewcrewer and Tundrabuggy to isolate which changes they have problems with before blanket reverting again and made some of my own changes to the introduction. I am hoping tey will take us up on this request, preemptinf the need to go to an RfC or mediation. We cannot do that before we know what they think is wrong with the changes anyway. ]<sup>]</sup> 01:48, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

== Gaza navigation box? ==

What do you guys think of a navigation box (template) that could tie everything in Gaza City and about Gaza City together. It could link to ], the future articles of ], ], ], etc, and in a separate section list all the major and historic structures of the city (], ], ], ], ], ], the ], and there's many more.

:::The ] looks good as well. The only problem I have with these types of boxes is when there are too many of them at the bottom of the page... Of course the vertical boxes look ugly as well if there are too many of them. I doubt either will happen with Gaza related topics. --] (]) 21:08, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
::::I also dislike when an article is overcrowded with navigation boxes, take a look at ], but I don't see this as a problem with Gaza-related articles. So no worries there. I also prefer the the horizontal navigation box because one can easily hide or show the topics. So definitely consider horizontal. --] (]) 22:22, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::If we are to attach the Gaza neighborhoods template (they're really districts) then ] would have only three nav boxes, and nearly all other Gaza-related articles would have one or two nav boxes, so this is good.

I tried to use the Municipal seal, but it didn't look that good in my opinion, because the of the opaque background of the image we have, in addition to its aspect ration (too thin and tall).

:: Well, according to the municipality website, it was created by decree from ] in 1998. That excludes it from the 1997 census. The results of the 2007 census for the Gaza Strip are not out as far as I know. Here's a very rough translation of info from .

The city of Al-Zahra' lies to the south west of Gaza city, and sits on 4634 dunums, bordered from the noth by the Gaza municipality, from the east Al-mighraqa municipality, from the south Nuseirat municipality, and from the west the Mediterranean.

The city has a 6km long shoreline and has a population of 5500 to 6000, and is considered a new residential highly attractive to residents due to its wide roads and organized building. The city has the following sections:

1- residential area (residential high-rises and single family homes)

2- agricultural area (vineyards and greenhouses)

3- educational area (Palestine International University - Gaza Women's University)

4- touristic area (seafront)

There are a number of public and service institutions, including two schools, a clinic, city park/promenade, and a preschool. And it still needs more development.

...

Alzahra municipality (Madinat Al-Zahra') was established by a decree from ... Yasser Arafat in 1998 in response to the increased settlement activity in Netzarim...

The municipality (Madinat Al-Zahra') was affected by the Israeli aggression throughout the Al-Aqsa Intifada: the main police station of the city was destroyed, in addition to three residential towers, 16 stories each (4 apartments per floor). Also an aquifier was destroyed in addition to damage to water tanks and windows due to continuous fire. All this in addition to destruction of large parts of a tower under construction of about 60 apartments, and the destruction of vineyards and greenhouses owned by the "Abu Midein" family, in addition to destruction of two main infrastructure lines from several raids of Israeli tanks.

== palestinian municapilty template ==

Hi everybody, I have modified the ] to fix some issues and add the pushpin_map functionality. To see the difference you can look at the ] and the ] (yeah, I know, doesn't look like much). Long story short, if you want to add the pushpin map to an article using the template and already has the coordinates defined in the template, you just need to add the following line:<br>|pushpin_map=Palestinian territories<br> to the template parameters. If you want to use a different map, use the following line instead:<br>|map_type=Name of file<br>If there are any problems let me know and I will try to work them out. ] (]) 04:31, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
:Splendid work Nableezy, thank you. ] (]) 04:51, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
On a related note, for any other article using a template that supports the pushpin_map, you can add the same map used above (perhaps in battle articles or anything else that took place in the defined area), ] by using the "|pushpin_map=Palestinian territories" parameter. The coordinates have to be defined in the template, either deg min sec or decimal degree. ] (]) 05:06, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
:And we could do the same for ] if there is a demand for it. ] (]) 05:22, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
::The map is perfect. Eventually, we could get to the specific region maps, but this suffices and has improved the articles on Palestinian towns and villages. One thing though, I ''think'' one of the changes to the infobox has made huge white spaces in locality article between the title and the context. See ], ], ], etc. Do you know how to fix this? And on the note of the depopulated villages, I agree that those articles should have similar maps. --] (]) 05:22, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

== 1948 convoys to Jerusalem ==

I am working towards contributing something about the Haganah convoys to Jerusalem, March to June 1948. I have The Times: "a minimum estimate of amount of absolute necessities required to keep the Jewish population in Jerusalem going is 50 lorry loads weekly." (April 1 1948) But Harry Levin has "The 100,000 Jews of Jerusalem need a bare minimum of 60 truck loads of food a day." (Diary - 31 March).

== depopulated villages template ==

The same change as the municipality template has been introduced in the ], adding the coordinates and pushpin_map arguments. This one is going to take a bit more work to fully implement though, as the original template did not have the coordinates arguments included. As an example, the ] article had the coordinates included in the article with <nowiki>{{coord|32|00|12.63|N|34|49|45.34|E|type:city|display=title}}</nowiki>. That needed to be moved into the infobox with the proper format. You can see the conversion in . It is simple to do, the format is <nowiki>{{coord|latd|latm|lats|N|longd|longm|longs|E|type:city|display=title}}</nowiki>. Just move the latd, latm, lats (latitude degree, minute, second) and longd, longm, longs (longitude degree, minute, second) into the infobox and add the pushpin_map argument and it should be fine (also delete the <nowiki>{{coord|latd|latm|lats|N|longd|longm|longs|E|type:city|display=title}}</nowiki> as it is now redundant with the infobox). I will be going through the articles that use ] and adding the maps and coordinates into the infobox, but if anybody wants to beat me to it that is how it is done. ] (]) 21:39, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
:Any article that had coordinates defined is now able to use the pushpin map with just the pushpin_map=Mandatory Palestine argument in the infobox, I took care of moving the coordinates into the infoboxes for all the ones that had it in the <nowiki>{{coord|latd|latm|lats|N|longd|longm|longs|E|type:city|display=title}}</nowiki> format. (Tiamut got there first on a couple). I added the maps to articles that I felt were long enough, if anybody thinks it takes up too much space just delete the pushpin_map arg in the infobox. ] (]) 01:28, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

I've added an entry in the main Palestine article Current Status section, but thought I'd mention this here too.

The Human Sciences Research Council of South Africa (HSRC) released an exhaustive 300 page study indicating that Israel practices both colonialism and apartheid in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

The 15 month long study was conducted by an international team of scholars and practitioners of international public law from South Africa, the United Kingdom, Israel and the West Bank. The study reviewed Israel's practices in the territories according to definitions of colonialism and apartheid provided by international law. The project was suggested by the January 2007 report of South African jurist John Dugard, in his capacity as Special Rapporteur to the United Nations Human Rights Council. He said that the practices of Israel had assumed characteristics of colonialism and apartheid and that an advisory opinion on the legal consequences should be sought from the International Court of Justice. The crime of apartheid is an indictable offense in quite a few of the ICC member states, as well as with the International Criminal Court itself.

Hi everyone,
:imo that whole sentence is synth. the term zionist entity isn't mentioned in either of those sources. to provide balance appropriately, maybe the best approach is to list precisely ''who'' said it instead of the nebulous "arab world" and "muslim world" (which is the part that makes it necessary to provide proof that not every arab or muslim uses it to 'avoid saying the word israel'). i just glanced over the article, focusing on that one source, but another way to 'balance' would perhaps be a mention of ''why''. are there no sources that say that these people reject the partitioning of their homeland and use the term to prevent legitimizing the state created there? ](]) 16:06, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

I recently created the article on the ''']''', which was part of the ''']''' for our project. I noticed that the ''']''' article mentions the 1657 campaign but does not yet include a hyperlink to the dedicated article. To avoid the article becoming orphaned, I would like to ask if someone with '''Extended Confirmed Protection''' could add a link to the article in the relevant section on military campaigns.

If also possible if someone could contribute the correct categories in the ''']'''. Incase I missed them.

As someone who reads about the Middle East, I dont understand why StandWithUs would be listed under WikiProject Palestine.

1938 al-Bassa Massacre

I created an article today about the 1938 al-Bassa Massacre and would appreciate if we as contributors could help each other out. The page now has a status of Orphan. Albe another contributor has linked it with the al-Bassa village. There are other potential avenues where this article can be linked with to inform people on this event. The 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine being an example. Where the massacre is mentioned.


I am a relatively a new contributor and for that reason do not have the Extended confirmed protection access. Meaning I sadly for now cant link this myself. If anyone here is able to do so it would be a incredible help ! Thank you in advance Imteghren (talk) 18:47, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

1657 Ottoman campaign in Palestine

Hi everyone,

I recently created the article on the 1657 Ottoman campaign in Palestine, which was part of the History/conflicts to-do list for our project. I noticed that the History of Palestine article mentions the 1657 campaign but does not yet include a hyperlink to the dedicated article. To avoid the article becoming orphaned, I would like to ask if someone with Extended Confirmed Protection could add a link to the article in the relevant section on military campaigns.

If also possible if someone could contribute the correct categories in the 1657 Ottoman campaign in Palestine. Incase I missed them.

Thanks in advance for your help! Imteghren (talk) 12:20, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
