Golan Heights Wind Farm

Recent edits suggests that this article may be heading for the normal pointless edit wars i.e. whether Hebrew should come before Arabic, occupied vs disputed, a rare form of dyslexia that renders the Discussion tab invisible to editors etc. Some sensible people might want to step in to avert a potential forest fire. Sean.hoyland - talk 09:26, 12 March 2010 (UTC) Yup, it's about a wind farm. Sean.hoyland - talk 09:28, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

10 agorot controversy/Coinage of Israel/Currency of Israel/Shekel

I've seconded the prod of 10 agorot controversy for reasons stated on the article's talk page. In essence, I recommended that the information to be incorporated in the existing agorot article or - better yet - part of a new Coinage of Israel article outlining the history and design of each coin denomination minted and circulated by Israel. If each denomination can have more than a couple of cited paragraphs, separate articles of them would be in order (redirects can hold their places in the meantime). I also mentioned that Currency of Israel could be set up in a similar fashion - and then was surprised that Currency of Israel, which should cover the history of the subject, was merely a redirect to a two branch disambiguation page, Israeli shekel! This clearly overlooks the currency used in the State of Israel from 1948 to 1980 in addition to that might have been used for coinage and currency in the Land of Israel.

References absent from articles about Golan Heights kibbutzim and settlements

Many of the articles in the above Template are completely unreferenced. One article, Gush Hispin, has been nominated for "speedy delete" because of its lack of sources. I've tagged all the articles I could find, which I believe are more than half the articles in the Template, with "unreferenced" or "nofootnotes." I suspect that many of the sources in question are in Hebrew or Arabic, and could someone please help address this problem? Thanks, AFriedman (talk) 02:24, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

I think that I'm willing to let Gush Hispin be deleted. It merely seems like an informal term used to describe the grouping of localities. In the past, I also opposed the use of the word 'bloc', especially when there was no agreed/published definition on that term (e.g. Ariel bloc). Very low ghits, even in Hebrew. Perhaps merge it to the Golan Heights article or as 'matter of fact' in the separate articles of the localities mentioned. --Shuki (talk) 23:36, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced living people articles bot

Your project uses User:WolterBot, which occasionally gives your project maintenance-related listings.

User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles (BLPs) related to your project.

Here is one example of a project which uses User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects: Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Cricket_articles/Unreferenced_BLPs

There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.

The unreferenced living people articles related to your project will be found here: Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Israel/Unreferenced BLPs

If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.

Thank you. Okip 08:00, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Update: Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Israel/Unreferenced BLPs has been created. This list, which is updated by User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects daily, will allow your wikiproject to quickly identify unreferenced living person articles.

There maybe no or few articles on this new Unreferenced BLPs page. To increase the overall number of articles in your project with another bot, you can sign up for User:Xenobot_Mk_V#Instructions.

If you have any questions or concerns, visit User talk:DASHBot/Wikiprojects. Okip 22:51, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Katriel Katz

Katriel Katz is almost certainly notable enough to sustain an article on Misplaced Pages, but is currently lacking one. He was a cabinet secretary in a number of Israeli governments, as well as Consul General in New York and Israel's Russian Ambassador during the six day war. Katz was later expelled from Moscow by Andrei Gromyko. He also served as Ambassador to Poland.

Anyone care to write an article on him? Once this has been done, he can be listed as a notable passenger aboard BOAC Flight 712. Mjroots (talk) 14:36, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Suggested renaming of Yonatan Netanyahu

It has been proposed at talk:Yonatan Netanyahu that the article be renamed to Jonathan Netanyahu, at least for the English Misplaced Pages. Most of the citations and key books quoted use the English spelling. Comments are welcome. --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 21:41, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Leo Goldhammer

Perhaps someone can have a look at this, as it needs some attention from an expert. I am taking it off my watchlist. Thanks. --Crusio (talk) 14:49, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Tag team taking advantage of holiday and slapping occupied cats on everything
