Hello Everyone, I found a need (and support) for an Israel WikiProject. There are many pages relating to Israel on WikiPedia, and I think it is important that they are all kept to a high standard. I cannot do this alone, so please join in.

Wikiproject Israel Template

I am apparently not good at the template images thing. Could someone please link the image to an actual image of the flag of Israel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eric1985 (talk • contribs)

Fixed. This template should be added only to talk pages and not to articles themselves. Also please sign your posts at talk pages and fill out edit summaries. Thanks. ←Humus sapiens 10:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi all

I'm in. Ask me for anything about the Chareidi world. Bnei Brak, Jerusalem etc. --Daniel575 | (talk) 13:35, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Suggestion

I suggest we use this page for project-related discussions. For general ones, there is WP:WNBI that many users already have in their watchlist. ←Humus sapiens 00:34, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Tiamut (Membership rules)

"Objects to the idea of creating a virtual Israeli state on Misplaced Pages that annexes pages - including those for Palestinian towns it ethnically cleansed - to itself, but if such a project is to exist, will monitor its development with the aim of ensuring as much balance as is possible in such a blatantly biased endeavour" (Tiamut)

What is this supposed to mean? Please clarify exactly what contribution you are going to make to Israel-related articles. If your main purpose is complaining about fictional POV issues, I do not understand why you register as a member of this project. --Daniel575 | (talk) 12:47, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't think projects should allow members who are inherently opposed to the subject of the project, anyway. If the user thinks he can balance Arab-Israeli-conflict-related articles (which I doubt, but I will assume good faith), then he can just as easily do it from outside the project. In any case, the Arab-Israeli conflict is only a small part of the scope of this project. -- Ynhockey 13:13, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Correct. I find Tiamut's remarks very weird and wonder why he wants to join this project (also nothing that he made only a handful of contributions since July). If no explanation will be given, I think we can safely delete his name from the list. Gmar chatima tova! --Daniel575 | (talk) 13:22, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

On a side note, User:Heckhgs may also need to be deleted. His own user page states that he isn't really into editing articles and only placed his name on this project page because he 'hates Israel'.
And, Gmar Hatima Tova, of course. Have an easy fast. -- Ynhockey 13:31, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I deleted both and put up some rules. Do you agree with them?
Rules for joining
You must be an active editor, meaning that you are regularly on Misplaced Pages and not only once every few months. You must also be actively involved in editing Israel-related articles.
Agree? --Daniel575 | (talk) 13:49, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, these are the rules for several projects I frequent, such as WikiProject Ice Hockey. -- Ynhockey 13:58, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Translate please

It seems that this list didn't get much attention at WP:WNBI, so I'm copying it here (minus articles already created):

Here's a short list of articles about people which don't exist on EnWiki yet, but do on HeWiki:
