Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Palestine

You are invited to participate in The World Destubathon. It's currently planned for June 16-July 13, partly due to me having hayfever during that period and not wanting to run it throughout July or August in the hotter summer and will be run then unless multiple editors object. There is currently $3338 going into it, with $500 the top prize. As 250 countries and entities is too much to patrol, entries will be by user, but there is $500 going into prizes for editors covering the most countries. Sign up if interested! ♦ Dr. Blofeld

Just made the article Israeli POW and labor camps in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War if anyone wants to view it

Hello! I'd like to suggest an article about myself — with full transparency: I am the subject, so per WP:COI I am not publishing the article directly myself, and I'm asking independent editors to review or adopt the draft instead.

Majdal Nateel (b. 1987) is a Palestinian visual artist raised in Gaza, twice shortlisted for the A.M. Qattan Foundation Young Artist of the Year Award (2014, 2016), with a 16-month residency at the Zentrum Paul Klee Summer Academy (Bern) and exhibitions in Palestine, Canada, the US and Sweden (2026, with Salman Nawati).

Independent sources: This Week in Palestine (profile, issue 312, April 2024), Discorder Magazine (2022), Middle East Eye, Universes.art (YAYA 2016), Konstguiden (2026).

Draft (submitted to AfC): Draft:Majdal Nateel — Wikidata: d:Q140664165 — Website: https://majdalnateel.com

Thank you! MajdalNateel (talk) 12:07, 22 July 2026 (UTC)

Dear User:MajdalNateel: I have added an Al Jazeera and an The Independent source to the article. If that is not enough, there is also

• https://imemc.org/article/72631/, IMEMC
• https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2024/05/03/there-are-no-colours-left-gazas-artists-tell-their-stories, The Art Newspaper and another aljazeera article:
• https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2015/3/22/gaza-artists

These are all, AFAIK, WP:RS, and should be incorporated into the article, cheers, Huldra (talk) 22:22, 22 July 2026 (UTC)

Thank you so much Huldra for improving the draft and for these excellent sources! The Art Newspaper piece has now been added, along with Al Jazeera (2015), Middle East Eye (2015) and Göteborgs-Posten (2024), and the draft has been resubmitted. A freely licensed portrait is also now on Commons (File:Majdal Nateel.jpg). Much appreciated! MajdalNateel (talk) 10:02, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

Update: the draft was declined a second time, a few hours after resubmission, with the generic creative-professionals template and no source-specific feedback — despite the added Al Jazeera (2015, dedicated feature), The Art Newspaper (2024, profile section), Göteborgs-Posten (2024, review with interview), The Independent (2015, dedicated article) and Middle East Eye (2015) coverage. I have politely asked the reviewer which sources they consider insufficient. Huldra, since you know this sourcing well — do you think the draft now meets WP:GNG? If so, I would be very grateful for your advice on next steps (or, if you think it appropriate, a move to mainspace by an experienced editor). As always, full COI disclosure: I am the subject. Thank you! MajdalNateel (talk) 10:38, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

User:MajdalNateel I have frankly no idea as to why it was refused the second time: I have asked on the talk-page. And I have wiki linked some of those WP:RS that are used in the article. Let's wait a day or two, and see. If it isn't moved to article-space; I will go on one of the notice-boards and ask why. Cheers, Huldra (talk) 22:19, 23 July 2026 (UTC) PS: I would love to see you upload pictures of your work, (I have made a commons cat).

The article has now been accepted. Thank you so much Huldra for stepping in, improving the sourcing and speaking up — I really appreciate it. ~2026-41375-52 (talk) 09:51, 24 July 2026 (UTC)

I am pleased if I could be of some help; but not surprised that it was moved to article-space; it was overdue! Huldra (talk) 22:31, 24 July 2026 (UTC)

 You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Legality of the Israeli occupation of Palestine § Issues with recent edits. Editors are discussing a substantial proposed revision of Legality of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, primarily concerning the relative coverage of the ICJ, the Supreme Court of Israel, the government of Israel, and academic commentary. The proposed revision was first reverted because of concerns about its reliance on primary sources and overemphasis on Israeli domestic law. It was then restored in revised form with additional secondary sources and a shorter discussion of Israeli law, and reverted again on the ground that it gave "undue weight to Israeli opinion". Proposed revision before the latest revert. — ac talk 07:55, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

Requesting review of a pending edit request at Talk:Fasayil § Edit request 13 July 2026 (revised). It's a COI-disclosed, ABOUTSELF-sourced addition that's been open 26 days with no editor response since the prior reviewer's feedback was incorporated. Would appreciate a second look.
