The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article is related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing this article:
You must be logged-in and extended-confirmed to edit or discuss this topic on any page (except for making edit requests, provided they are not disruptive)
You may not make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any edits related to this topic
All participants in formal discussions (RfCs, RMs, etc) within the area of conflict are urged to keep their comments concise, and are limited to 1,000 words per discussion. Citations and quotations (whether from sources, Wikipedia articles, Wikipedia discussions, or elsewhere) do not count toward the word limit.
The exceptions to the extended confirmed restriction are:
Non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace only to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive.
Non-extended-confirmed editors may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles created by non-extended-confirmed editors is permitted but not required.
With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:
Clear vandalism of whatever origin may be reverted without restriction. Also, reverts made solely to enforce the extended confirmed restriction are not considered edit warring.
Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offence.
Current: ". . . [the UN] proposed a _partition plan_, for two independent Arab and Jewish states and an independent entity for Jerusalem, but. . . ."
Suggested revision: ". . . in 1947 [the UN] proposed that Palestine be partitioned (divided) into two independent states, one Arab and the other Jewish. The _partition plan_ specified that Jerusalem become an independent international city. But. . . ."
The article states “there were instances where Muslims helped rescue Jews during the Holocaust” but there is no mention of that in the referenced article. This has also been marked as[failed verification] and [opinion]. Therefore, shouldn’t this sentence either be removed, or reference a correct source instead? Thanks. 2A00:23C7:3F2B:7900:AD68:62C:B439:AD77 (talk) 09:48, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,I heard that this article needs additional citations for verification. So I will help in this. Though, if you don't think I should edit the page then that's completely fine, I just want to help, I will obviously not do any bad edits just because the page is part of the Arab-Israeli Conflict.

If this article is to be renamed just "Palestine" can we start the process of renaming according articles from "State of Palestine" to "Palestine" too thanks Ecpiandy (talk) 03:07, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 6 February 2025
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
Please edit the grammar here in the intro
"Israel has constructed large settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem since 1967, where currently more than 670,000 Israeli settlers, which are illegal under international law."
to something like
"Israel has constructed large settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem since 1967, which currently house more than 670,000 Israeli settlers, and which are illegal under international law." HungryBison (talk) 18:37, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"where currently more than 670,000 Israeli settlers" what? Where they live? Where they play trombone? The sentence is not grammatically correct -- that is all I am asking to fix. HungryBison (talk) 18:44, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The sentence is not grammatically correct as written. There is an implied verb
where currently more than 670,000 Israeli settlers reside
where currently more than 670,000 Israeli settlers live
where currently more than 670,000 Israeli settlers exist
I chose that the settlements "house" the settlers in my suggestion because I thought that was broad and neutral, but feel free to use whichever verb choice you like. HungryBison (talk) 18:59, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
