Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 1 March 2020

[edit]

Opening segment, third paragraph, last line:

Critics allege that J Street and the policies they support are, in fact, anti-Israel.[8][9][10]

Should be:

Critics allege that J Street and the policies they support are anti-Israel.[8][9][10]

Reason: Criticism of a political group isn’t fact, it’s opinion. And an allegation isn’t fact, either. Stating that something is “in fact” shows an explicit bias, and given the highly sensitive nature of this topic the working should be corrected. Davey1107 (talk) 08:32, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

– This page should be moved back to J Street. It is the primary topic for this name. An editor moved this page to the (advocacy group) parenthetical to create a disambiguation page, but the topics on that page can be covered by hatnotes (or the dab page can be moved to (disambiguation).

Note: J Street titles a page with content and so it must also be dispositioned. If this request is granted J Street may be deleted or moved to J Street (disambiguation) at the closer's discretion. P.I. Ellsworth  ed. put'r there 05:40, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
So I'd vote for keeping J Street with the common pattern, and fixing up O and R. – M.boli (talk) 19:46, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think O and R should stay the same, because they are actual topics with those names. The other topics on "O Street" are partial name matches (compared to the name of a story collection called "O Street"). R Street, I am not sure about, but the think tank group's website is www.rstreet.org, so I believe that they are commonly known as "R Street". With this same logic, the main topic for "J Street" is the advocacy group, so it should have the base name.
I have added a redirect hatnote to the R Street page, so there is now a way to navigate to the dab page. In my opinion, the "R Street" disambiguation page is unneeded, but that is a separate topic. Natg 19 (talk) 20:47, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

First paragraph needs update in description of J-street and source

[edit]

The link for first citation is dead. The description used in the first paragraph needs proper citing and be changed as it fails to describe the pro-Israel stance it claims to be on its own page as stated in the third paragraph

"the political home for pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans who want Israel to be secure, democratic and the national home of the Jewish people ... advocat[ing] policies that advance shared US and Israeli interests as well as Jewish and democratic values, leading to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict" I.Elgamal (talk) 13:13, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request: Netanyahu won a resounding victory

[edit]

In 2015, Netanyahu's coalition won a victory in the election for the Israeli parliament. It is highly debatable whether this victory was "resounding": the government that was formed after this election had the support of 61 of the 120 members of parliament, the minimum number for the formation of a government.

The word "resounding" should be deleted. In any case, it is not material to the point being made, or to the article. EGetzler (talk) 10:23, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
