Please help improve the following articles
Requesting collaboration to improve the articles List of terrorist incidents in Israel in 2022, List of terrorist incidents in Israel in 2024, and List of terrorist incidents in the Palestinian territories, which are all currently being considered for deletion, in order to make sure that these articles align with Misplaced Pages guidelines. I believe that all the major issues brought up in the deletion request could be addressed and fixed if we work to improve these articles collaboratively, especially considering the precedent of similar articles existing for various other countries on the English Misplaced Pages. Your expertise and contributions are highly valued. WikiJunkie (talk) 14:39, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- What was the feedback given, and where are the deleted article contents? It appears the articles are now deleted, and the feedback is not shown. Fileyfood500 (talk) 06:13, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
IDF Spokesperson's Unit
I posted on the article talk page but assume it isn’t very active so I shall ask here:
As a former military man but with no knowledge of the Hebrew language.. may I ask why the current spokesman (a naval officer with the equivalent rank to an anglophone Rear Admiral) is listed in this article as a Brigadier General?
I appreciate that Tat Aluf could mean either but doesn’t the IDF use the English equivalents according to branch rather than direct translations? LittleEye90 (talk) 10:30, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Religious segregation#Israel
Hi! Please have a look at Religious segregation#Israel, where an anonymous user added some very non NPOV claims. Thanks, Atbannett (talk) 07:56, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
POV pushing on political party articles
I've noticed some concerted POV pushing by a couple of revived accounts on nearly all Israeli political party articles over the last couple of months – all of them are being moved one position to the left; Meretz was changed from "left" to "left to far-left"; Labor from "centre-left" to "centre-left to left", Yesh Atid from "centre" to "centre to centre-left", National Unity from "centre-right" to "centre-right to centre", Moledet and Mafdal–Religious Zionism from "far-right" to "right to far-right" etc. Worth keeping an eye on this. Cheers, Number 57 19:53, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Number 57 Can you please provide links to some of the edits in question? Mistamystery (talk) 23:37, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
I made a draft on a former intelligence agent, would someone be willing to quickly check if there are any sources in Hebrew about her?
I worked on her draft here, but don’t speak any Hebrew. Would someone be willing to take a look? FortunateSons (talk) 17:04, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- I couldn't find anything of note unfortunately. Alaexis¿question? 17:55, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- It’s alright, thank you. I already have enough for the article, I just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss anything :) FortunateSons (talk) 17:57, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages Command Center
On October 2023, דוד שי (David Shay) announced a WhatsApp group to "fight" against anti-Israel bias in English Misplaced Pages. According to the announcement on Hebrew Misplaced Pages , the group seems to be coordinated by שלומית ליר (Shlomit Lir). It is also advertised on the Hebrew Misplaced Pages Facebook group, which is often moderated by Shani (WMF). The group publicly self-styles itself as "Misplaced Pages Command Center", and seems to serve as a private coordination hub for pro-Israel editing, focusing on a list of English Misplaced Pages articles. Since the group references WikiProject Israel, I bring it up here. How does this group comply with WP:CANVASS, WP:MEATPUPPET, WP:NPOV, etc? MarioGom (talk) 15:38, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not too surprised given the prominence of the conflict. These are he-wiki users though so the question is what you think could/should be done here at en-wiki? Alaexis¿question? 21:21, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- The group is focused on coordinating I/P editing on English Misplaced Pages, so it is relevant to this project. MarioGom (talk) 21:45, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
I guess the discussion might continue at Misplaced Pages talk:Arbitration Committee#ARBCOM, since there is a longer discussion on canvassing efforts there. MarioGom (talk) 22:07, 23 April 2024 (UTC)(This topic might be partly out of scope there. MarioGom (talk) 06:13, 24 April 2024 (UTC))- This group is focused on writing encyclopedic entries related to Israel, not only about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, although it is also about it, and its goal is to bring to the attention of readers only correct and verified information. The group in no way engages in biasing of articles, in contrast to extensive pro-Palestinian activity on the English Misplaced Pages. דוד שי (talk) 02:16, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- Every special-interest group that organises to edit Misplaced Pages claims to only want to bring "correct and verified information". Zero 03:43, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- I do not dispute that you might discuss other articles, but the list of 35 English Misplaced Pages target articles publicly shared by the group is 100% about the Israel-Palestine conflict and, more specifically, about the 2023-2024 Israel-Gaza War. In any case, the policies and guidelines I linked in the original post apply regardless of how broad the interests of the group might be. MarioGom (talk) 06:03, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- I understand that the coordinators of this group have read this, since the group invite link has been revoked and the post recruiting people on the Hebrew Misplaced Pages Facebook group has been deleted. I assume there are no intentions to comply with English Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines. Just do your thing with the IDF Spokeperson Unit, with EC gaming grinding short descriptions, etc. I must admit English Misplaced Pages cannot do much against sufficiently motivated actors engaged in long term manipulation.
