Wikipedia's reputation?

[edit]

Doesn't Wikipedia usually have an unbiased reputation to uphold in reporting? Not that I'm saying this goes one way or another, but isn't it very strange for Wikipedia to have an article like this featured on the DYK tab? Surely things that might cause any consternation shouldn't be featured at all, regardless of which side they're supporting. I'm really curious to know what decision making, if any, went into this, and how many people were involved in deciding that it was ok to highlightHol-Tangings (talk) 09:30, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But did you know that? CLalgo (talk) 11:36, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no rule about sensitive topics as it applies to DYK as far as I’m aware. The only qualifications are that a reliable source supports the hook and that the article is in decent enough condition to be linked to from the front page. I also don’t see how this would be ‘supporting’ any one group; the hook is simply an interesting piece of trivia. I can imagine a similar hook could be run if a Palestinian athlete competed at the Paralympics in a similar context. ForsythiaJo (talk) 12:23, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree there is nothing wrong with this hook. On the other hand, several hooks I nominated that involved Israeli attacks on Palestinians were watered down and used in passive voice. Examples here: [1], [2], [3]. In David's hook, it was so watered down we had to insert the fact that Israel had granted him citizenship, after an Israeli soldier had killed him, due to "NPOV concerns."

Occupation

[edit]

@Herniac: Gaza Strip has been occupied since 1967 per the ICJ. It is not "false." [4] Makeandtoss (talk) 15:10, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The statement situating the subject's birthplace and residence on a kibbutz bordering the Gaza Strip is sufficient as is, as the latter is linked to the page by name (not piped). Any descriptive text on this bio page is by nature POV. Its removal makes it NPOV. -- Deborahjay (talk) 12:08, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
