Since March 2024, there are now at least two factories manufacturing keffiyehs in Palestine. Hala Palestine partnered with a textile factory in Nablus to begin producing Nablus Keffiyehs. ^[1] Vsthill14 (talk) 07:14, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: We generally do not use the website of a business to discuss that business. We should add this information if you can find a source that is independent of Hala Palestine talking about it. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 19:30, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request to add to the end of the Production section.

A second factory in Palestine acquired an antique keffiyeh loom and began producing keffiyehs in 2024. This textile factory in Nablus was originally founded in the 1950's by Marwan Al-Nabulsi, also known as Abu Bassam.^[1]. ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5] Vsthill14 (talk) 22:39, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done These are all store pages. For something to be included in a Wikipedia article, it should be discussed in a reliable source that's independent of what's being added. If there are any major news outlets writing about this, that would be a good reason to add it. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:29, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hirbawi makes the most of its status as “the last keffiyeh factory in Palestine” but in late 2023 a competitor emerged in the shape of the reborn Alnabulsi Textile Factory. It was founded in early 1950s by the al-Nabulsi family in the West Bank city of Nablus (and thus is also known as the Nablus Textile Company). It enjoyed some success as a manufacturer of school uniforms, as well as keffiyehs, but the Israeli occupation, with its severe restrictions on movement and access to raw materials, forced its closure in 1985. In late 2023, the factory resumed operations, and keffiyehs are now available for purchase online.

Date Error for Reference 5, edit request

The date shown for the citation on-site is November 2, 2007. The article cited is February 11, 2007. I have suspicion to believe that the user who added the citation made an error when inputting the date.

It currently shows in References as:

5. Kim, Kibum (2 November 2007). "Where Some See Fashion, Others See Politics". The New York Times. Archived from the original on 12 May 2021.

It should be edited to say:

Section POV tag: Popularity with pro-Palestinian activists

I have never seen a section that starts with criticism before it even talks about the topic of the section. This needs to be addressed. Makeandtoss (talk) 12:02, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
