Jewish boycott of the Western Wall
[edit]- ... that some Jews refuse to pray at the Western Wall in Jerusalem?
Created by Chesdovi (talk). Self-nominated at 21:59, 14 January 2016 (UTC).
. Interesting information. I know many people who have traveled to Jerusalem and have never mentioned anything like this. The sources are reliable. I would recommend adding references for the Background section, though. This is good to go.--12george1 (talk) 05:23, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
- No no no, 12george1, not yet and certainly not like this. The Background section needs to be copyedited (I just changed "tactic" to "tacit"), it is wholly unverified (that cannot be in a DYK), and it isn't even remotely neutral. Chesdovi, this needs work. Also, I don't see where you did a review of another DYK. Drmies (talk) 18:51, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
- I apologize for that. I forgot to check if the nominator had reviewed another article. As for copyediting, I personally didn't notice the need for it, but now that looks like a valid concern. Now "(that cannot be in a DYK)", are you suggesting an alternative hook should be proposed, Drmies?--12george1 (talk) 00:25, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
- I have added refs to the Background section. I'm also not sure where the neutrality issues lie. (I was unaware that I was required to review another nomination). Chesdovi (talk) 16:37, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
- IMO this is a sensationalist approach to a long-known position of the Satmar Rebbes regarding their opposition to the Zionist state. Adding in Amram Blau and the Neturei Karta is a limp attempt to make this into an "issue". It would be better to keep this information in the Satmar article and remove this page from Wikipedia.
