Sources

[edit]

I'm removing these from the article because it's not clear why they've been added but not used. We can store them here to use as source material. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 22:36, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Before I start expanding an article, I usually list all of the sources that I plan on using, not only to have them readily available as I go to work, but to be available for anyone else who comes along who decides to jump in and help out, which I have seen happen before. No biggie though, I've listed all these references in my userspace as I get to work. I don't have as much time as I used to edit, so completeing this article will probably be somewhat slow going for me. Cla68 (talk) 23:54, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Eligibility

[edit]

The rules for the games say that competitors must be Israeli citizens or non-Israeli Jews. Does that mean Arab Israelis are allowed to compete, and if so, do they? I feel we should clarify that. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 23:57, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The main article says yes, with this source. [1] SlimVirgin talk|contribs 00:08, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I assumed that "Israeli citizens" would understandably include Arab citizens of Israel, but if you believe it should be expressly stated in the article I don't see anything wrong with that. Cla68 (talk) 01:41, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Austrians?

[edit]

As I remember this story, a couple of Austrians were injured. Since they didn't die, and most stories about this are written in Australia, they get forgotten. Maybe this is wrong, but the news stories at the time definitely mentioned Austrians.

Where were the Austrians? I had thought they were marching in English alphabetical order, so the first Austrians were stepping onto the bridge when it went down. The article says the Austrians crossed first. Is this Hebrew alphabetical order? Was there anyone ahead of the Austrians?  Randall Bart   Talk  21:59, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

{{WPMED}}

[edit]

I have removed the WikiProject Medicine banner because it appeared irrelevant to the article. Thanks, ANGCHENRUI Talk 15:45, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Number of injured

[edit]

Is there a reliable source to verify the exact number injured in the disaster? This one says "over 70", while another says "more than 60". Bjenks (talk) 16:16, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A source has been offered, viz. Bruce Maddy-weitzman's "Middle East Contemporary Survey" Vol.21, p.438. However, it does not make clear whether the figure 67 represents injuries or deaths + injuries. Anyway one would expect a reliable source to be directly based on cited police, hospital or court reports. If a good source cannot be found, my suggestion is that we stick with the phrase "over 60". (Agreed.) Bjenks (talk) 05:23, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Done per agreement. Bjenks (talk) 05:35, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
