A few articles I've been privileged to move forward

Wikipedian protester
not a comprehensive list...

 Israel **

* There's a few others I've moved forward that were not a huge privilege.
** Not an easy place for work.

Did you know...

  • ... that 39% of Israeli schoolchildren watch the educational television program Bli Sodot in their classroom?
  • ... that CMKC Group will construct and retain 30-year management rights over 1500 km of new and 512 km of renovated railway in the Republic of the Congo?
  • ... that Yaakov Bodo played the character "Moishe Ventilator" over 1000 times?
  • ... that Jerusalem's historic Stern House houses an Israeli bookstore that once had branches in Beirut, Cairo, Damascus and Baghdad?

Images I've had the privilege of adding to the encyclopedia

  • There's others that were not a huge privilege.

Barnstars

The WikiProject:Islam Barnstar
For long-suffering on Battle of Jenin. Isn't this the coolest barnstar. Hahahah. :P Kyaa the Catlord 15:45, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
The Special Barnstar
Thank you for creating a Wiki Page on Haim Farhi. I always wanted to do it myself and your work made it easier for me to have the history of Haim Farhi known. AlainFarhi (talk) 16:50, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
The Working Man's Barnstar
Gratitude for the tireless efforts on the Wiki Page of CMKC. Especially knowing how busy you were, you were still able to help out; for the gracious efforts, I thought the "working man's barnstar" was the most suitable. Yonigs (talk) 15:17, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
I am awarding you this WikiCookie for your constructive edits on Misplaced Pages--LAAFan 17:29, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
The Golden Wiki Award
I hereby award you this Barnstar for helping Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Political parties. --Megapen (talk) 18:56, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
The Israeli Barnstar of National Merit
Jaakobou, You have worked hard to attempt to improve wikipedia's Israel/Palestine related articles. You have made appropriate additions and changes, added sourced content, and dealt with the POV issues related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I believe you have at many times tried to promote improvement and NPOV in many wikipedia articles, and have greatly improved many articles. You have had to deal with some issues in the past, have faced at times controversial sanctioning, but when you were wrong, you have learned from your mistakes, and improved your editing, and since, you have become a very good editor. For all you have done, you have won my respect, and are in my opinion very deserving of this barnstar. YahelGuhan (talk) 05:25, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
The Rescue from Deletion Barnstar
For your help in saving Revolving door policy (Palestinian Authority). Great work!--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 13:06, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
The In-Control Wikipedian Barnstar

  • leftovers...

For : * Article should expand to include all images of Palestinian boys throwing rocks at tanks. This is an interesting iconography and I'm sure, plenty of articles have been written on the subject.

For : Comment: To clarify article material... The Palestinian Authority threatened news people to stop airing similar footage (cited in article) and Yasser Arafat made a show (BBC phrasing, also cited in article) out of donating blood. Palestinian media, both Fatah and Hamas celebrate the event and Bin Laden as well (cited to PMW).

For : Exploitation of foreign aid for war.
