Current status: Former featured article
In May/June 2013, there was a Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Jerusalem about the lead section of this article. This discussion was mandated by the Arbitration Committee, and its result remained binding for three years (until January 2016). While the binding results of this RfC have now expired, this page is subject to the following page-level sanction: As the results of Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Jerusalem regarding the article's lead represent the community's consensus at a well-attended discussion, a new request for comments must be undertaken and reach consensus prior to any changes being made to the article's lead section. Editors editing the lead without consensus from an RfC are subject to sanctions such as page or topic bans or being blocked from editing. Reverts of blatant and obvious vandalism or edits made in violation of this sanction are exempt from this restriction.

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 13 September 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Consider changing "Jews" here to "Israelites": "Modern scholars argue that Jews branched out of the Canaanite peoples and culture." The word "Jew" is generally used from the Second Temple period onwards. Before the Babylonian exile, the correct term is Israelites. This is discussed in From the Maccabees to the Mishnah by Shaye J.D. Cohen pages 8-9. Isaachier (talk) 01:20, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

which specific line or phrase were you referring to in the article, though? Andre🚐 01:35, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
@Isaachier gave the line in question - it's the second sentence in the third paragraph of the lead. What I'm uncertain of (or I would make the change myself) is whether this change should require a consensus first. PianoDan (talk) 18:13, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
Since this has gone unchallenged, I've made the change. Anyone can revert and discuss it here if there are objections. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:01, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Jerusalem as capital in Islamic era

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 1 December 2024

In the History section: "It remained under Islamic control through the Ayyubid and Mamluk periods, until it became part of the Ottoman Empire in 1517. In the modern period, Jerusalem was divided between Israel and Jordan after the 1948 Arab–Israeli War."

There is a large part missing that can add valuable context and historical completeness for Misplaced Pages readers. After 1517 and before the modern era, I suggest adding:

"After centuries under Ottoman rule (1517–1917), Jerusalem underwent modernization and became a center of European and Jewish immigration in the 19th century. Following World War I, the city came under British control during the Mandate for Palestine (1922–1948), a period marked by significant urban development and rising tensions between Jews, Arabs, and the British authorities. " Niho rei (talk) 12:39, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Not done for now: I'm happy with the text. I would prefer better sources, Britannica is sometimes acceptable and I think it might be here but I'd be more comfortable with other sources. Ultraodan (talk) 11:37, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
