Misplaced Pages:Notice board for Israel-related topics

Given your first article, your article on Hapoel Jerusalem Misplaced Pages:Notice board for Israel-related topics.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Igud bball.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Igud bball.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:01, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Igud bball.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Igud bball.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 22:59, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Gilo

If you wanted to use the quote use the quote, but you reintroduced text that is not reliably source (the source used actually lies about the original source it claims to be quoting). nableezy - 20:57, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Please do not mark edits like this one as minor. As you can see from the extensive talk page discussion on this issue, how to describe Gilo is one of the most contentious issues under discussion. Tiamut 21:14, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Jewish exodus from Arab lands

Hello Hmbr, you linked Mossad LeAliyah Bet as the group suspected of the bombings in the early 50s. In Israel's Secret Wars, Benny Morris writes (p. 91) that the Mossad "and/or" the Mossad LeAliyah Bet were blamed for the bombings. nableezy - 16:31, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Mossad LeAliyah Bet was an organization that preceded today's Mossad. In texts dealing with this period, "Mossad" refers to Mossad LeAliyah Bet. --Hmbr (talk) 16:45, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Part of that is correct. However, Morris specifically names both the Mossad and the Mossad LeAliyah Bet, not one or the other, so to say that when he writes "Mossad and/or the Mossad LeAliyah Bet" that he only means "Mossad LeAliyah Bet" is plainly incorrect. Also, this took place in the 50s, after today's Mossad came into existence. nableezy - 17:32, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

1950-1951 Baghdad bombings

Hello, you have made 5 reverts on this article in the last 24 hours. Please stop edit warring. Factomancer (talk) 09:44, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
