Naqib al-Ashraf revolt

[edit]

Naqib al-Ashraf revolt seems to have been a prominent event in the history of Jerusalem, and yet does not seem to be mentioned anywhere here? Makeandtoss (talk) 09:22, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

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)[reply]

which specific line or phrase were you referring to in the article, though? Andre🚐 01:35, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@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)[reply]
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)[reply]

"State of Palestine ultimately foresees it as its seat of power."

[edit]

This is just a clumsy construction that doesn't read well. Can't we just say "State of Palestine aspires to." and leave it at that? Andre🚐 01:34, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've marked this as answered, as there is no further action that can be taken until Youfind236 responds. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 04:48, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
