The articles e.g. for France, China, and so on have the titles of the countries in question, rather than ‘French Republic’, ‘People’s Republic of China’, and so on. Palestine links to a disambiguation page; these in turn link to the pages for the Palestinian National Authority, State of Palestine, and so on. A number of other pages’ titles include ‘State of Palestine’, including Economy of the State of Palestine, List of churches in the State of Palestine, Demographics of the State of Palestine, and so on.

I can think of two reasons to use the term ‘State of Palestine’.

1. It may be more accurate to refer to the ‘State of Palestine’ since it is a state. But France is a republic, and yet most articles about France do not include ‘French Republic’ in their titles; and so on.

2. It may disambiguate ‘Palestine’ from e.g. the whole region within the British mandate and so on. But we don’t do that e.g. with India.

In some cases it does clearly make sense to refer to the State of Palestine explicitly: e.g. History of the State of Palestine could be regarded as the history of Palestinian statehood, and the page is quite distinct from History of Palestine, but not all of these examples are analogous.

Given this, I have a few questions.

1. Has this been discussed before, and, if so, where?

2. Is there any policy that obviously suggests one option or the other?

Could an Arabic-speaking contributor take a look at this, please? —Upwinxp (talk) 09:30, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.

Yesterday I created the page Cultural and intellectual destruction of Palestine, but it was readily deleted because i didnt match the extended confirmed status required in this contentious topics. I have more than ten thousand edits in the lusophone wikipedia, but i had just over 400 here. Since then I made an effort to acquire the extended confirmed status, and then i requested the code from the page in the Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. At first, an editor rejected my request, but they didnt seem to have read it with attention, since they supposed I was asking for the restoration. In the second time, I asked explicitly for the userfication of the content, so I could access the code, but this time another user reverted my edit. I just want the code of the page, and it seems that some users are creating unnecessary impediments. Another user even intervened in a discussion I had with the admin that originally deleted the page, just to say that "Such pages just create problems for readers and editors..", which doenst seem to be a productive interaction at all.

So I would like to ask for some help here on how to navigate these rules, with which I not familiarized in pt wiki. I really just want the code, because it would be an unnecessary waste of time to make it again from scratch. Thanks for the attention. JoaquimCebuano (talk) 17:01, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You gamed the system. You can wait some more. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:02, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After a lot of effort, i was able to access the data. Strangely, it seems that it could been have sent to me earlier, instead of posing all these unnecessary hurdles.

The article is disponible in my drafts - Cultural and intellectual destruction of Palestine.

If anyone desires to propose changes or improve it, feel free to approach me. JoaquimCebuano (talk) 17:38, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it's worth starting an article about the cultural and intellectual destruction in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? You are free to write about any topic you like of course, but it would make sense to have a general article and then, if there is too much content there, to create sub-articles for the destruction wrought by each side.

Also, I see that most of the article is based on just one source, I think it would be good to find more sources for a balanced coverage. Good luck! Alaexis_¿question? 21:02, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My intention was to register the pattern of destruction that amounts, for some activists and researches, to a cultural genocide, so it would not make to frame it as 'Israeli-Palestinian conflict'. it could have more sources, but to delete every trace of it in Wikipedia is not a good approach for improvement. JoaquimCebuano (talk) 00:14, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a neutral point of view, so your desire is against the purpose of Wikipedia. - UtherSRG (talk) 01:29, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can find something else to do now. JoaquimCebuano (talk) 04:54, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Have no fear, I have plenty of time to keep an eye on you even while doing many other things. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:27, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting collaboration to improve the articles List of terrorist incidents in the Palestinian territories, List of terrorist incidents in Israel in 2022, and List of terrorist incidents in Israel in 2024 , which are all currently being considered for deletion, in order to make sure that these articles align with Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia. Your expertise and contributions are highly valued. WikiJunkie (talk) 14:41, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
