Project Israel To Do:

 Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Quds Day

I don't think this belongs in an entry on an Israeli holiday. Create a new entry for Quds day if you so desire. I won't delete it yet, but I want to hear what other people think. Yossiea 16:13, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

I concur. It should have a separate entry, and possibly be mentioned or linked to here.

Here is the text removed from the article page:

Quds Day There also exists a celebration by the same name in English: Jerusalem Day or Quds Day is largely an anti-Israel rally to show support the Palestinian people. It is celebrated in parts of the Islamic Middle East and more specifically in Iran. The largest gatherings take place in Tehran. It was established by Ayatollah Khomeini and is marked annually on the fourth Friday of the month of Ramadan.

The Iranian holiday has its own entry here: International Day of Quds.

NPOV

this article seems to be pro-isreali, but I don't really know enough about it to correct it


Ummm... That's because it's an Israeli holiday. The same could be said about Bastille Day or Canada Day. - Hersch


That's ridiculous. Because it's an Israel holiday, it's allowed to be biased? I mean really, the entire article was taken verbatim from the official Israeli Knesset website . I've just responded to the pov check tag, and renamed the article to the English name, since this is the English version of Misplaced Pages. The Hebrew name is clearly articulated in the article. --AladdinSE 13:16, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)

Name Change

Hi again, it's me.. back, with a registered username. Heh. Now, while I agree the text of this article shouldn't be copied from the Knesset's website, today my comments are about the name change. I'm not so sure that it's a good idea. If you hold this to be true, would you change Yom Ha'Shoah to Holocaust Remembrance Day? Yom Hazikaron to Memorial Day? Yom Ha'atzma'ut to Israel Independence Day? No. Because that's not what their name is. --Hersch 07:02, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Copyvio

I removed the following text, which was copied from the copyrighted article , and replaced it with a short paragraph in my own words that provides key facts from the same source.

Following that victory, on June 27, 1967, the government presented the Knesset with three law proposals. These proposals dealt with the annexation of Jerusalem and sanctioned the application of Israeli law in the entire area of the city. The municipal boundaries of the city were altered and its area was increased threefold: from 38,100 dunams to 110,000 dunams. At the same time a law was adopted that enabled free access to the holy places by the members of every religion.
On May 12 1968 the government decided to make the 28th of Iyar the symbolic holiday, "Jerusalem Day," designed to "symbolize the continued historical connection of the Jewish People to Jerusalem." In 1980, this holiday became anchored in law when the Basic Law: Jerusalem, Capital of Israel was adopted. This law determined that Jerusalem was the capital of Israel and the seat of all government ministries and national agencies.
On March 23 1998 the Knesset passed the second and third readings of the "Jerusalem Day Law", which reiterated that the date that Jerusalem was "liberated" during the Six Day War was now a national holiday.

Jerusalem Day in the Western Calendar

I have removed the section "Jerusalem Day in the Western Calendar" as it is already included in the holiday infobox. There are many holidays (Jewish and non Jewish) based on other calendars and the infobox is enough to inform the reader of that. Jon513 22:47, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Name

Surely this article should be Jerusalem Day or Jerusalem Day (Israel)? We don't call Bastille Day "Jour de Bastille" or "Quatorze Juillet". After all, this is the English Misplaced Pages! Number 57 15:41, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
