Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Israel

This article needs some help with sourcing. The one source used is dead. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it. Best.4meter4 (talk) 17:32, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

I've fixed the citation and added two secondary sources for a few additional facts mentioned in the article. Couldn't find any good sources on a cusory search but I'd assume the National Library of Israel has additional sources in its newspaper collection Totalstgamer (talk) 21:03, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you folks. Bearian (talk) 04:07, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello,

I've recently made extensive improvements to the article Hezi Shayb, including the addition of reliable, independent sources (news outlets, institutional websites, and library records). I’ve also submitted a request on the article’s Talk Page to remove the

template, as I believe the article now meets Wikipedia’s verifiability standards.

I’d appreciate if an editor from WikiProject Israel could take a look and provide input or support.

Thanks in advance! ~2026-68662 (talk) 08:12, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Just following up on my previous message regarding the Hezi Shayb article. The page has been updated with reliable sources from academic and media references, and I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could take a look and advise whether the

tag can now be removed.

Thanks again in advance! --~2026-68662 (talk) 09:17, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

TBH I am not sure he is notable enough for an article. The article appears to have been written by himself or people associated with him. I've proposed the article be deleted. Number 57 16:20, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Could someone take a look at reference #7 in that article? It's malformed and I can't find the original. Thanks. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:25, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

Pinging @Rijikk: as the person who added the source. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:27, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi! I am here. What is the exact problem with the source? Rijikk (talk) 22:34, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

Well among other things "אנציקלופדיה «מפה»" seems unusual with two unbalanced »'s. Google translates this as Encyclopedia «Map», so I would assume something like "«אנציקלופדיה «מפה" is more normal. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 04:06, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing that. Now I removed the unnecessary quotation marks (the encyclopedia name is written sometimes with them, sometimes without). Is there anything else? Rijikk (talk) 19:54, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

That would be it, as far as I noticed. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:15, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

 Courtesy link: Template:Welcome-foreign/Hebrew

Hello. Can you help verify a brief, English-to-Hebrew translation in a welcome template?

Template:Welcome-foreign is a bilingual welcome template used to welcome new users who have written content in some other language besides English. The template welcomes them first in English, then in their own language, as long as it is one of the three dozen languages it can handle. New languages are easily added. I have added support for Hebrew, but I don't know Hebrew so I used automatic translation to create Template:Welcome-foreign/Hebrew from the original at Template:Welcome-foreign/English. I'd appreciate it if a native Hebrew speaker could verify or improve the translation. Feel free to edit it directly, or paste a better translation below, if you prefer not to edit a template. Thanks!

I have proposed merging Moshava remnants in Kfar Malal into Kfar Malal. Discussion at Talk:Kfar Malal. Zero^talk 07:22, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello Editors

I'm trying to publish an English page for this old German bank that used to exist in Jaffa during the Mandate for Palestine: https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/בנק_אגודת_הטמפלרים

I prepared a draft page in English for this bank: Draft:Bank of the Temple Society and published it but one of the English editors deleted the picture that I used from the Hebrew page above. I explained that the picture is open to the public: "This work is in the public domain (public domain) because its copyright has expired in Israel. According to the Copyright Law of the State of Israel 2007 (Section 38) a work passes into the public domain on January 1 of the 71st year after the death of the creator."

Still the picture that I used was not accepted because the page is in English.

What is the solution?

Another editor wrote: "All companies and organizations are required to satisfy relevant Wikipedia notability guidelines regardless of whether they no longer exist." I'm not advertising the bank but inserting the information that the Templer Colonies in then Palestine established also a bank.

Can anyone assist? Holyland2026 (talk) 11:20, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

@Holyland2026: The image was deleted because you didn't provide a source (and he.wiki doesn't count as a source). You should load it instead at Commons, stating where it came from. If it was published more than 50 years ago, you can use the copyright tag {{}}PD-Israel}}. If you don't know how to do that, tell me this information and I will do it.
