Ringel-book

Hi,

I hope you are well and enjoying your wiki-break. I have a question ...which is not anything to hurry about: The 1975 book by Joseph Ringel, called Césarée de Palestine: étude historique et archéologique has a reference on p. 174, to a 1664 source, named "Roger", who found a settlement consisting of 100 Moroccan families, and 7–8 Jewish ones at Caesarea. Now, the Ringel-book is not in any library in my country, I´m considering buying it (even if I don´t speak French!)....just to find out *which* 1664 source he is talking about. (The book is not expensive; several copies available on Abebooks.com.) However, might you have a copy handy in your country? Also, I am not at all sure Andrew Petersen has translated Ringel correctly, he talks about "Mores" which I though were "Muslims", but Petersen translates as "Moroccan"? (Discussion is at Talk:Caesarea#Stalking) Cheers, Huldra (talk) 21:36, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

If whether or not these killings and massacres were carried out with the intent of hastening the exodus, is part of the effects caused by these massacres (it is already mentioned in the previous phrase)[1]. This sentence is repetitive and reduce the historical dispute to this particular controversy. This issue should be discuss further in the article, along with disputed issues and theories concerning the causes and the existence of theses massacres. The matter is, if you repeat it twice, it exclude all the other possibilities. I am concerned by the fact that there is only one sentence about other than the conventional "new historian POV": According to Avi Shlaim, "purity of arms" is one of the key features of 'the conventional Zionist account or old history' whose 'popular-heroic-moralistic version of the 1948 war' is 'taught in Israeli schools and used extensively in the quest for legitimacy abroad'. --... Point by point ... (talk) 22:14, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Israel archives do not confirm any massacre' especially not according to the source. It is only according to some historians, whose have based their works on thoses archives. Better sources are needed. "Israeli archives do not confirm massacres and the relevant IDF and haganah archives were completely closed due to the Israelis Archives Law (1955). We need more material to alleged this controversial claim".

I introduced these sentences in the article. And I read the book from which they come. Per WP:AGF, until you have read several books on the topic, stay away from these articles.

Ok, I´ve changed a lot of the artist=Victor Guérin, to artist=Harry Fenn; but I don´t think Harry Fenn drew them all? This one for example? Huldra (talk) 22:41, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Huldra
Sorry for the late answer.
You are right! In the introduction of the book it is written that "Des artistes furent envoyés (...)" = "Several artists were sent" but their name is not given. That means that we cannot attribute pictures when the name is not clearly specify. I would conclude that Harry Fenn is just one of them.

Query

Hi Pluto, Just a technical point re Morris. You will see at Black Sunday, 1937 a citation from Morris's Righteous Victims, in which he says Arabs soon picked up the innovation of planting bombs in crowded places, that this became a tradition in the area. I've cast about but cannot yet find a source that tells me exactly when the Palestinian Arabs began to plant bombs in crowded places (as opposed to killings of substantial numbers of Jews in incidents like the 1938 Tiberias massacre). It is obvious that it became commonplace among their militants and terrorists in the 1990s, esp. the Al Aqsa Intifada, but through the 40s down to the establishment of Israel I can't recall an episode like this at that period nor see it at the poorly developed Timeline of intercommunal conflict in Mandatory Palestine. No need to hurry, if you are interested. It's just a matter of personal curiosity (my impression is that Morris spun the November 1937 turn with that language to cancel out the fact that the Irgun and Lehi cedrtainly used that method for a decade, without finding Arab imitators until much later, but I may well be wrong.) Cheers Nishidani (talk) 15:47, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Let me help you out, since it seems reading is not your forte, either - in that same article you claim to have read and not found anything (Timeline of intercommunal conflict in Mandatory Palestine.) - "February 2 - car bombs in Ben Yehuda Street, Jerusalem. 58 Jewish civilians were killed and 140 injured.[47]' Epson Salts (talk) 23:31, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I asked Pluto because, like myself, he gets his knowledge from actually researching each topic in serious scholarship, and not by skimming through wiki articles which, like the one I mentioned are farces full of error-thickened bullshit or replete with glaring lacunae. For your information, no such attack took place on February 2. The distracted editor dropped a '2': the incident took place on the 22 February, and, not knowing the facts or period, you didn't notice the egregious error. There is, I see, an article on it, that too defective. Look, you are trailing me around and making inane comments with an attempt at wielding a snarky whiplash. I am asking a highly intelligent and neutral scholar of this period if he can enlighten me on Benny Morris's use of 'soon'. In English 'soon' does not mean 'a decade later'. Pluto may not care or have the time to enlighten me, but I don't want the query contaminated by editors barging in who accuse me of illiteracy while having problems both with elementary numeracy (2 for 22) and historical details. Don't disturb the request. Thank you. Nishidani (talk) 12:50, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am amused by the fact that you think of yourself as a scholar, yet can't read a simple wiki text. I've seen enough of your edits to get your MO: People whose POV you like are invariably "highly intelligent", "serious scholars" and those with opposite POVs are "ignorant", "inane" people whose every typo becomes an " egregious error". Do you want me to start describing you as a "distracted editor who , because he is simply unaware of the historical record make egregious errors" when you carelessly call Binyamin Eliav "Ya'acov"? You messed up , carelessly skimmed through an article and missed what you were looking for - man up and own your mistakes. Epson Salts (talk) 13:59, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This is your last warning. I have 8 diffs of you, without provocation, trying to insult me rather than discuss the merits of edits calmly. It0's not that I'm offended. It's a tactical gambit to try to fish out some exasperation in other editors rather than to improve articles. Nishidani (talk) 14:26, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This is quite ridiculous: You ask for help and information, ostensibly in order to improve articles, I give you that info , which you weren't able to find yourself, despite looking in the same source I provided you with) - and you consider this as "insulting you"? Epson Salts (talk)
In Dec 1932, two Jews in Nahalal were killed by a bomb. Two Arabs were sentenced to death over it. I don't offhand know the answer if you refer to mass public bombings. Zerotalk 13:48, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I just provided some evidence at Ben Yehuda Street bombings that Ben-Gurion went on record after viewing the mass Arab bombing there on 22 February 1948, that he blamed the Irgun and Lehi ('Jewish thugs' for setting a precedent ('opened the way') which the Arabs, by adopting that mode of assault, had imitated. I expect something like this statement lies behind Morris's remark re Black Sunday.Nishidani (talk) 14:26, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Before editing all of this stuff, while rereading Morris on it, I was struck by his phrasing of this sentence, which is a wonderful example (of many) of his ability to face the awkward facts for the standard narrative (unlike Karsh) and yet weave his way round them to endorse the basic drift of the Zionist narrative.

This “innovation” soon found Arab imitators and became something of a “tradition”; during the coming decades Palestine’s (and, later, Israel’s) marketplaces, bus stations, movie theaters, and other public buildings became routine targets lending a particularly brutal flavour to the conflict.’

In other words, the November 14 soon found Arab imitators, establishing a tradition, the last words intimating that it was an Arab tradition in the Mandatory period, and then afterwards in Israel (meaning again only Arabs). As far as I could remember, Arab mass bombings along the Irgun/Lehi model started in early 1948, not soon but 11 years later, and were not a tradition among Arabs at that time - I can think of 3 examples, though I may err -. A more scrupulously neutral historian would have phrased it otherwise. Nishidani (talk) 14:46, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
When you introduced this query, you were thinking such bombings by Arabs were a 90s phenomenon, and went on record saying ' through the 40s down to the establishment of Israel I can't recall an episode like this", I'm glad your memory has improved so drastically that you can now recall at least 3 such incidents.

Alain Menargues court decisions

In the Alain Menargues article, there is a statement: In 2009, a Court of Appeals in Paris determined that his dismissal was unsound and ordered RFI to pay compensation for his 32 years service in public broadcasting. This was upheld by the Court of Cassation in 2011. The reference is unfortunately a dead link. IIRC I based the statement on the French Wikipedia article. Searching on Google, several links come up but since I can't read French, I am unable to determine the reliability of the sources. If you have the time, could you confirm/disconfirm the accuracy of the statement? Kingsindian ♝ ♚ 08:39, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mount Zion

I'm going to revert your changes to my editing, but before I do so, I'd like you to explain to me the logic behind your edit summary - "600 m of *difference*of altitude* between the top and the foot... Not the absolute altitude".

Topographic elevations are always defined by hight benchmarked to Metres above sea level, not difference between topographic features, e.g. Mount Zion and Central Valley which is 38m. The reason for this is fairly obvious, though perhaps not to everyone. The logistics of trade around the World very often required/s thransporting cargo from coastal facilities to inland destinations via distribution networks. This must include considerations of terrain's impact on the means of transport. In the ancient times this was invariably via pack or cart animals, or manhandling. This would make the 770m+ climb to the top of Mt.Zion over 53km quite a substantial climb in terms of endurance and time. By the way, this has become even more important due to use of GPS which is always callibrated to sea level though the use of Altimeter is still preferred Crock81 (talk) 21:39, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from projecting your personal bias into article editing with statements like this "I am not on wp to stand that somebody source an article with extract of the bible or the tanakh of any religeous book." The artilce, Mount Zion, is derived froma cultural context, and is therefore inseprable from the Documentary evidence. Moreover, I do not use references from a 'bible' or any 'religious' book. Neither the TaNaKh nor the Talmud are 'bibles' or 'religious' books, though perhaps in your bias and lacking insight you are unaware of this. I'll be happy to explain the difference if you so wish.

Transjordan as "East Bank"

Dear Pluto2012

Below is an excerpt from a Wikipedia publication on the subject of the West Bank that also clears up the naming of the East Bank. Countries and Territories of the World Volume II - Middle East & The Caucasus Editor: By Wikipedians p.525 Prior to the First World War, the area now known as the West Bank was under Ottoman rule as part of the province of Syria. At the 1920 San Remo conference, the victorious Allied powers allocated the area to the British Mandate of Palestine which included modern day Jordan and Israel. The 1948 Arab-Israeli War saw the establishment of Israel in parts of the former Mandate, while the territory known as the "West Bank" area was captured by Transjordan. Since it then controlled the territory on both sides of the Jordan river, Trans-Jordan renamed itself Jordan in 1949. The 1949 Armistice Agreements defined its interim boundary. From 1948 until 1967, the area was under Jordanian rule, and Jordan did not officially relinquish its claim to the area until 1988. Jordan’s claim was never formally recognized by the international community, with the exception of the United Kingdom.2304 The West Bank was taken control of by Israel, during the Six-Day War in June. 1967. With the exception of East Jerusalem, the West Bank was not annexed by Israel. Most of the residents are Arabs, although a large number of Israeli settlements have been built in the region since 1967. Close to 500.000 Israelis live in the West Bank settlements. Although international law (Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention) prohibits transfers of the population of an “occupying power" to occupied territories, media outlets often interpret the law to incur a responsibility on the part of Israel's government to prevent Jews or non-Arab Israeli citizens from voluntarily residing in the West Bank, including cases where Israelis seek to restore Jewish communities destroyed by Arabs prior to Israel's statehood, such as in Hebron and Gush Etzion.2305,2306,2307 The West Bank has a land area of 5,640 square kilometers (including East Jerusalem).2308 Origin of the name West Bank The region did not have a separate existence until 1948-1949, when it was defined by the Armistice Agreement of April 1949 between Israel and Jordan (until then known as Transjordan). The name "West Bank” was apparently first used by Jordanians, and has become the most common name used in English and some of the other Germanic languages. The term was used in order to differentiate *the West bank of the River Jordan, namely the newly annexed territory; from the ”East Bank” of this river (Transjordan), which today constitutes the present territory of the Kingdom of Jordan.

However, neither Trans-Jordan, nor Jordan had ever included a territorial division, either Geographic, adinistrative or political, known as "East Bank". Crock81 (talk) 03:52, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure what the relevance of the above quote is, but keep in mind that the book in question is not a WP:RS; it is simply a book version of Wikipedia at some point in time. See WP:WINARS. Kingsindian ♝ ♚ 09:32, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict...please fill out my survey?

Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.

For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.

I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.

Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.

Thanks so much,

Sarah Sanbar
