An editor has started an RfC asking "Should Operation Al-Aqsa Flood by Hamas be included in the List of Islamist terrorist attacks?" at Talk:List of Islamist terrorist attacks#Should Operation Al-Aqsa Flood by Hamas included in the list of Islamist Terrorist attacks?. Interested editors are invited to participate. TarnishedPath^talk 09:16, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What was the outcome of the discussion?

I don't think it counts. "Terrorist" maybe (if we call the IRA that?) but not "Islamist". The main motive was nationalist.

There were secular groups who joined in, a small number of blokes, but at the very least it shows unambiguous endorsement and says something about the point of the attack.

I have started a discussion as to whether a 'sentence' parameter should be added to the civilian attack infobox here. PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:00, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What are the rules for Wikimedia Commons for flags or insignia of non-state actors in conflicts?

Pretty much everywhere with banned symbols laws makes exceptions for history / educational use so that isn't what I'm worried about.

But what are the rules for copyright? They don't "tick any of the boxes" for public domain.

Do we need to redraw them? Hand making a near-identical image seems like a strange exercise but I'll try to do a few of the missing ones if that's what is needed.

What format is needed? Do they need to be SVG?

Are there any weird rules about fonts? Can any fonts be used in image on commons? The fonts I have access to most easily are Microsoft and Google Fonts. Is there a better option?

SIL have a lot of very free fonts on an open font license … i don't know if that seems very wrong or amusingly perfect. Irtapil (talk) 09:44, 19 December 2023 (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) 14:46, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
