Haifa

In 1940 the Hagana placed a bomb on the SS Patria in the harbor of Haifa to stop the deportation of jewish migrants. 267 people died. See Meir Chazan: The Patria Affair: Moderates vs. Activists in Mapai in the 1940s. 5glogger (talk) 15:15, 3 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In demographics, there is a line stating:

"significant portion of the immigrants from the former Soviet Union either lack official religious-ethnic classification or are Non-Jews as their mothers were not Jewish (Jewishness is passes down through the mother.)"

The reference is not related to this content, so I couldn't check what was meant by "as their mothers were not Jewish" as this is ambiguous and seemingly unrelated to the content.

At the very least the last line is grammatically incorrect.

I recommend deleting this whole section unless a valid reference is found Chaimish (talk) 22:20, 6 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Done — No part of the sentence appears to be supported by the source, so I have removed it. PopoDameron ⁠talk 10:28, 8 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Haifa stopped culling wild boars which increased their prevalence in many of Haifa's neighborhoods, regardless of countermeasures such as fixating trash cans. Some cases of wild boar attacks were reported. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vollach (talk • contribs) 01:08, 21 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The scripts only spot errors when templates are used. (I have them installed.) I added the template to the erisiting SFNs which reported the error. (I did not add the SFNs and the source cite was already missing.) I did not find the appropriate source cite searching Wikipedia articles. I noted this in the edit comment. Yes, this added another article to 9,500+ articles with a no-tartget error. However, it did accomplish my goal: error was fixed. User-duck (talk) 01:29, 30 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Mount Carmel should be directly linked to in the first section of the page on Haifa, quite obviously! And the rest of the mentions of it on the page should likewise be links. A quality of life thing, but also to reflect its relative importance to the city in so many ways. Arrrmand (talk) 15:11, 16 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

MOS advises against linking every instance (MOS:DUPLINK), but you're certainly right it should be linked in the first section, and I added a couple of links in prominent locations following that. CMD (talk) 02:11, 17 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Haifa. (edit · history · last · links · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the ((EEp)) template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Please change

[χeˈfa]

to

[χejˈfa] / [ˈχajfa]

to reflect the actual pronunciations. SuzieMillen (talk) 05:17, 9 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

In general it's pronounced [ˈχajfa] in Hebrew also. Listen to this on the Israeli government's tourism channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWvp4zS6zzE GordonGlottal (talk) 15:27, 9 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
