Citations and accuracy

No suspects have been found and nothing to give rise to any motives- until such time surely this shouldn’t be allowed to state “as part of protests” “motivated by antisemitism” etc 110.174.100.203 (talk) 12:13, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve cleaned this up and have removed the frankly slanderous remarks in this article. Geelongite (talk) 12:33, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Including the community in which the terrorist attack took place

Hi. I've added twice a small sentence in the history section that basically states 'The synagogue is within the City of Glen Eira, one of the largest Jewish communities in Australia', which keeps being reverted by Geelongite for being a 'blatantly slanderous remark'. It's clear that Geelongite has an Anti-Jewish bias based on his contributions, however are there any other objections to including this single sentence into the History section?

I'm unsure what that was all about. However that description is not precise considering there are only two 'large' communities, in Sydney and Melbourne. The phrasing would have to be changed. דברי.הימים (talk) 19:26, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add Adass to name?

Should Adass be added to the name of the article? I couldn't even find it because I was looking for something connected to Adass. MaskedSinger (talk) 19:42, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A different editor has created Adass Israel Synagogue attack as a redirect. And I have bolded the name at the top. Hopefully this helps. דברי.הימים (talk) 04:20, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ok great! thank you! MaskedSinger (talk) 09:50, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

UK condemnation – Added now that it has 6 sponsors. Will need to check back on this one if it passes for rewording
ABC in depth article, coverage of fire & water damage – more details can be added from here to enrich understanding of significance of the damage.
Catholic 2nd statement – Possibly add to original statement or can be added to Allan's proposed reforms.
Burial of holy books
rebuilding efforts and cost projections
