Can you take a look
I received a warning from Palestinian editors for editing the article "History of the name Palestine" http://en.wikipedia.org/History_of_the_name_Palestine After posting the section listed bellow I received this "official warning" http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Tritomex How I can protect my rights or contact the arbitration?
"==Etymology== The name Palestine refers to a region of the eastern Mediterranean coast from the sea to the Jordan valley and from the southern Negev desert to the Galilee lake region in the north. The word itself derives from “Plesheth”, a name that appears frequently in the Bible and has come into English as “Philistine”. Plesheth, (root palash) was a general term meaning rolling or migratory. This referred to the Philistine’s invasion and conquest of the coast from the sea. The Philistines were not Arabs nor even Semites, they were most closely related to the Greeks originating from Asia Minor and Greek localities.The name of the Philistines in their own language is not known; however, the Bible also relates them as the people of "Kaftor" (כפתור in Hebrew, see for example the Book of Jeremiah Chapter 47, Verse 4). "Kaftor" is not of Hebrew or Semitic origin, which supports the possibility that this word is similar to the name they called themselves."

Scope
Would historic articles related the geographic Palestine region, but otherwise unrelated to modern Israel, such as Kingdom of Jerusalem fall under the scope of this wikiproject? What about pages such as Kingdom of Israel (united monarchy) that are related to Jewish history in Palestine.
Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Palestine covers them. It covers (from {{WikiProject Palestine}}) "articles related to the geographic Palestine region, the Palestinian territories, and the Palestinian people". Those examples wouldn't fall under the last two, but they are very related the geographic Palestine region.
Is this WikiProject like WP:Palestine in that respect, or would a historic article need to be more related to Israel and the Israeli people in some way beyond merely being related to Palestine region for WP:Israel to cover it? Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 05:03, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- Sure. --GHcool (talk) 05:33, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- Also would people from Ancient Palestine such as Jesus be within the scope of this WikiProject? There seams to be some confusion about that on Talk:Jesus#WikiProject_Palestine. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 09:22, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- As I wrote on the page, "Adding Jesus to WikiProject Palestine is a fatuous political move. It says nothing about Jesus or Palestine. It is as absurd as applying WikiProject Egypt to the Moses article." --GHcool (talk) 22:54, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Are "Palestinian territories" titles still appropriate for topic articles
There a discussion about weather topic articles about the West Bank and Gaza Strip such as Economy of the Palestinian territories should continue to "Palestinian territories" in their titles considering the recent UN vote at Misplaced Pages:Village_pump_(proposals)#Are_.22Palestinian_territories.22_titles_still_appropriate_for_topic_articles.

1948 Arab–Israeli War
I should probably post it on the 'WikiProject Military history' project. However, you probably more motivated/knowledgeable on the subject. I think that the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and its related sub articles operation/battles/etc could really use a nice navbar, to make navigation more fluid. For your consideration.--Mor2 (talk) 11:14, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
- There are already at least two different navbars being used—one for the major operations of the war and one for the souther front. What do you have in mind? —Ynhockey 11:46, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
RFC on Meta
Hello everybody, this is to inform you that a RFC on Meta concerning serious abuses, violations and defamations by some WP's French admins against French WP's contributors involved in editing articles about the Israeli-palestinian conflict facing continuous harassement including unfair treatment of Anti-Semitic issues and accused to be Zionist/Israeli propagandists. Thank you for your comments. Yoav, 81.218.206.83 (talk) 10:35, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Facts on the Ground
This phrase appears: "...Israeli settlements built in the occupied West Bank, which were intended to establish permanent Israeli footholds in Palestinian territory."
I made two simple corrections - which were immediately changed back by someone else. I corrected it to read: "Israeli settlements built in Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank, which were intended to establish permanent Israeli footholds in disputed territory." 1. Why can the Biblical names of these areas not be provided? Do readers around the world not have the right to know that these areas are what they read about in the Bible as Judea and Samaria? 2. The areas in question are not "Palestinian" - not under the Oslo Agreement, nor under any international agreement or proviso. In fact the are in Israeli territory. However, I wrote "disputed territories" so as not to arouse opposition and debate. Under what right does someone change it to mis-read "Palestinian" against all international usage?
How can these issues be resolved, other than me going in every few hours to change it? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.138.126.174 (talk) 16:23, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- Because we use the common names of areas or things. The common name of the West Bank is just that (and Judea and Samaria, as well as being historic names, is also a very controversial name because that's what the settlers call the area). The same goes for "occupied" in preference to "disputed". Number 57 16:37, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
> I can understand what you're saying about Judea and Samaria, more or less. But how does the same go for "occupied"? From a legal standpoint, the term makes no sense - who was it "occupied" from? There was never any sovereignty over it! (Jordan was never recognized, and the PA has no borders, even according to the recent UN vote.) Technically and in every which way, the correct term is "disputed." If Misplaced Pages doesn't use it, then who will??

Yair Lapid Page
This entry is seriously lacking. For a guy who is apparently a top 50 Israeli or all time, and now a major power player in your parliament, the biography is fairly brief. You all should get a professor or something to deepen it. Did he go to school, what are his polices, any details about anything? Maybe I'm asking for too much... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.241.19.56 (talk) 01:59, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Idan or Iddan?
At WP:AFC/R a user pointed out that Idan (moshav) seems to be misnamed; apparently the official transliteration of the name is "Iddan". On the other hand, "Idan" is the transliteration used by Haaretz. Could someone more knowledgeable in transliterations of Hebrew than me please take a look and move the page if necessary? Thanks, Huon (talk) 19:59, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
- It should be "Idan" as far as I know. This sign seems to have a mistake. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 21:19, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
- I agree that the current transliteration is correct. Number 57 22:43, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
- Another "vote" for Idan, which is the common transliteration for Hebrew עידן, also correct per WP:HE. The sign is actually not official (government), it looks like a JNF sign. —Ynhockey 19:15, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
I played tourist on Google street view. The large green road signs on highway 90 say "Iddan" with two "d"s before the turn-off in both directions. The white signs at the intersection pointing to the place also have "Iddan" in both directions. These are ordinary road signs, not special signs like the JNF sign. The Central Bureau of Statistics also uses IDDAN, see for example this and many other documents at CBS. Zero 14:07, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Menachem Cohen (architect)
Well, I've created a stub for Menachem Cohen (architect). I can see there's a Hebrew Wiki article on him, but I'll be darned if I can figure out how to enter the interwiki link -- or a link to the English page back from the Hebrew. Something about the right to left formatting is screwing things up, I guess. Anyway, please do add a link, either way, and a bot shall do the rest.
