Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 13 May 2026

Please specify the punishments redirected by the individuals responsible for these actions in the lead paragraph. The sentences “and the Israel Defense Forces said it was investigating” and “the IDF again said it had identified the soldier and would investigate” might mislead the reader into thinking the cases have not been investigated. Of course, if the reader reads the entire article he will learn about their punishments, and the article below already links to reliable sources about that, I’m just saying it should be clarified in the lead paragraph. Regarding the Crucifix, I propose to write “the image circulated online and the Israel Defense Forces said it was investigating. The soldier who damaged the crucifix and the one who photographed him were both removed from combat and jailed for 30 days”. Regarding the Virgin Mary statue, I suggest to write “The soldier who put the cigarette was jailed for 21 days, and the one who photographed him for 14 days.” Thanks in advance.

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear, concise and understandable to an appropriately broad audience, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    The Associated Press shouldn't be italicized. Also, the Associated Press is referred to by it's full name, but it's shortened version (AP) is written next to it the last time the AP is mentioned. Please either remove the (AP), or move the (AP) to it's first mention and refer to it as such for the rest of the article.
    "Vatican News" should be italicized and wikilinked All issues have been fixed
    Other than that, I didn't see anything else wrong with the article's grammar. I found some issues with spelling, but I fixed it myself.
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
    Follows the manual of style for these topics.
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
    The references are layed out correctly. Used the dead link checker and it gave me 5 "down links", but none of them are actually down.
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
    Spot check here
    Just finished the spot check, but there are some things that need addressing. You can either reply here or on the spot check page. Dragonhawk12 (talk) (Guestbook) (Wikicats) 22:59, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
    Sources are fixed now 2x2x2x2x2 (talk) 02:20, 7 July 2026 (UTC) (Dragonhawk edited position of the text here)
    All the sources look good now
    C. It contains no original research:
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
    "Fadi Falfel, a priest in Debel, told Reuters that the crucifix was part of a small shrine in the garden of a family living on the edge of the village" closely paraphrases this source.
    "The family accepted the Italian-donated replacement because it was closer in size to the original, and gave the Israel-supplied crucifix to a local church." closely paraphrases this source, especially the last part. Everything has been fixed
    Everything else looks fine.
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
    Seems to include everything that's important to the topic without going into unnecessary detail.
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
    The article doesn't lean to one viewpoint and it talks about all viewpoints in a neutral way. All quotes are backed by a reliable source.
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
    No edit wars here
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
    Image have valid fair use rationales and images have suitable captions.
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    I'm putting this review on hold until all the issues are fixed above. If there is no progress in 2 weeks, I will fail this review. Dragonhawk12 (talk) (Guestbook) (Wikicats) 02:44, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
    Maybe replying in the review isn't the best, but I think all of the issues have been addressed. The paraphrasing (2d), the well written criterion (1a), "Other than that, I didn't see anything else wrong with the article's grammar. I found some issues with spelling, but I fixed it myself." Vatican News has been wikilinked and italicised. Everything else is passing? What has not been fixed? 2x2x2x2x2 (talk) 02:59, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
    oh, sorry, I didn't realize you fixed it. I was expecting you to reply saying that you've fixed it before I put it on hold. I'll check it now Dragonhawk12 (talk) (Guestbook) (Wikicats) 03:00, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
    Everything has been fixed. I'll pass the article now. Congrats! Dragonhawk12 (talk) (Guestbook) (Wikicats) 03:04, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
