English needed
Hey, I remember you are a translator from Hebrew to English so I need your help on a small thing.
This is the summery of the Hebrew source:
ב2020 מכרז להקמת בית מלון ומתחם נופש בכפר הוצע ליזמים על ידי משרד התיירות ומנהל מקרקעי ישראל. המתחם כולל תכנית לבניית 120 יחידות אירוח ושטח לבניית חנויות, מתקני ספורט, בריכה, שטחים פתוחים ועוד. ההחלטה על המכרז הגיעה בעקבות עליה בתיירות צליינים לארץ הנותנת לגליל הזדמנויות חדשות לאור אתרי הדת, ארכאולוגיה ונוף הרבים המצואים בו. כאוכב מצטרף לכפר שיבלי בו פורסם לראשונה מכרז למלון בכפר בדואי.
This is what I came up with:
In 2020, a tender was offered by the Ministry of Tourism and Israel Land Administration for the construction of a hotel and tourist resort in the village. The compound includes a plan for 120 accommodation units and space for shops, pools, parks, sports fields and more. The decision was made in light of a rise in pilgrim tourism to Israel which creates new opportunities for the Galilee thanks to its religious, archeological and natural sites. Kaukab joins Shibli–Umm al-Ghanam, where a tender for hotel construction in a Bedouin village was offered for the first time in history.
The problem is that there are a lot of words from the worlds of real-estate and tourism which are absent from my English vocabulary and I suppose that my grammar was also slaughtered in the process. Thanks in advance.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 09:31, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Bolter. Real estate really isn't my expertise either, but I'll try to check the terms. On first glance, this looks fine. The English is perfectly correct and comprehensible, but a bit clunky, so I'll rewrite it at the same time. It's more than thirty years since I was in Kaukab, but I used to know people there; it must have changed a lot since 1984! RolandR (talk) 12:30, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

My citations on Haroun al Rashid
The book was from a library and I read it long back that's why I didn't know a lot about the details of the book. Could you please remove the 1st picture on your user page(it's a bit disturbing because of the word in it). Amaan.S (talk) 11:52, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- Yo can't just cite an apparently random title without giving readers and other editors any chance to identify the book or the page cited, and without explaining how it justifies the assertion in the article. And I'm sorry you are disturbed by my anti-fascist image. If it bothers you that much, don't look at it again. RolandR (talk) 11:57, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- It's a very inflammatory comic. The problem isn't just with the specific highly aggressive words as User:Amaan0123 points out, but with the comic & caption itself. It makes a pretty controversial (to say the least) equivocation between Nazis & Jews that really doesn't have any place in a collaborative encyclopedia, especially considering that it flagrantly goes against WP:POLEMIC and at the very least the principles embodied in WP:ARBPIA4. Please remove it. It's unnecessary and contributes nothing to the encyclopedia; likewise with your anti-zionist userbox. Chess (talk) Ping when replying 02:17, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- Apparently this problem has been brought to your attention before by others in the past and you've been sanctioned already by User:Sandstein with respect to provocative images. I'm going to ask for WP:AE. Chess (talk) Ping when replying 02:35, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
