السلام عليكم – שלום עליכם
(Peace be with you)

This is the home page of WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration. In a subject plagued by conflicting historical narratives, we are working to make Wikipedia the conflict's most balanced reference point. Help us build bridges and break down barriers in the world's most intractable conflict.

This project page can be edited by all members. To become a member, please write a short message in the Member statements section.  Please participate in discussions of the project and specific articles on the PROJECT TALK PAGE.

Background

[edit]

Our goals

[edit]

Known as the "world's most intractable conflict", much of the fighting has been over historical narratives. The two sides' histories hardly intertwine and respected scholars and journalists often disagree.

As the world's primary open source publication on the topic, our encyclopedia has the opportunity to become the subject's most balanced reference point, with a truly bilateral narrative.

We encourage anyone with an interest in the Middle East and a passion for neutrality to help. We can't guarantee that no one will bite; long memories, deeply ingrained emotions and a Mediterranean climate mean things can get hotheaded.

A persistent focus on clarity, neutrality and verifiability will leave contributors with the satisfaction of helping remove barriers between two peoples fact by fact, one at a time, perhaps equivalent to a "truth and reconciliation commission".

Help us build a single encyclopaedic narrative, and mutual understanding and trust.

Scholarly precedents of collaboration

[edit]
Shortcut

Below is a chronological list of precedent scholarly collaboration projects in the Israel Palestine arena. These works compare the Israeli and Palestinian narratives with respect to the conflict and the broader history of the region. For the avoidance of doubt, our goal in wikipedia is different – rather than showing both narratives side-by-side, we are working to produce a single narrative combining both viewpoints. However, the list below is intended to provide guidance and inspiration to members of our wikiproject.

Collaboration and Monitoring

[edit]

This Wikiproject's talk page is the primary area used for discussing how to improve the project and discussing issues for discussion at specific articles. New editors are encouraged to review the archives linked on the right hand side of the talk page to gain familiarity with past discussions.

IRC channel

[edit]

In Wikipedia we try to keep our collaborations transparent and try to minimize private emails and email lists, instead relying on more open forums like the talk pages of this project and the facilities available through through dispute resolution, including the various Wikipedia notice boards. We have created a public IRC channel for discussions at #wikipedia-ipcoll connect on the freenode server. To arrange a specific discussion drop a note on this project's talk page to arrange time and date. For more information see the Wikipedia IRC page.

ARBPIA sanctions

[edit]

Shortcut

All editors in this area are advised to be aware of the editing sanctions in force.

Disputes regards Israel Palestine articles had become so frequent a problem that a Wikipedia arbitration process was begun in 2008. Further arbitration processes took place in 2009 and 2015. These processes included user descriptions of the problems and arbitrators' final decisions regarding the conflict: remedies (discretionary sanctions of blocks, bans, etc. by uninvolved administrators, a working group and reminding and counseling editors) and enforcement (logging of notifications, blocks and bans on users who have engaged in problematic editing on Israel-Palestine issues).

The primary sanctions which resulted from these arbitrations are summarized in the table below.

WP:ARBPIA
10–19 Jan 2008 		The entire set of Arab-Israeli conflict-related articles, broadly interpreted Discretionary sanctions All Arab-Israeli conflict-related pages, broadly interpreted, are placed under discretionary sanctions. Any uninvolved administrator may levy restrictions as an arbitration enforcement action on users editing in this topic area, after an initial warning. (full text, as amended).

Editors are limited to one revert per page per day on any page that could be reasonably construed as being related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. In addition, editors are required to obtain consensus through discussion before restoring a reverted edit. Reverts made to enforce the General Prohibition are exempt from this limit. Also, the normal exemptions apply. Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked without warning by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense. (full text, as amended).

Multi-article consensus

[edit]

Some discussions have reached consensus on matters which apply widely across a number of articles:

Dealing with disputes and incidents

[edit]

A key purpose of this collaboration project is to create a more hospitable editing environment for Category:Israeli–Palestinian conflict related topics, including through a) actively seeking the cooperation of people who are uninvolved or hold strong and differing points of views as specified under membership and b) preventing and resolving disputes about the application of Wikipedia policies to these articles. We provide various tools below to facilitate the project.

The following advice should be considered in the first instance:

If you need help in a case of alleged serious incidents (name calling or harassment) or violations of policy regarding Palestine-Israel editing issues, including possible implementation of sanctions against editors, you may go to Wikipedia Arbitration Enforcement because this issue already was dealt with under the 2008 Palestine-Israel articles arbitration. See that page's Notification log and Log of Blocks and Bans for examples of successfully mounted complaints. Remember blocks and other sanctions against other editors are intended to discourage or stop disruption; they are not intended to be punitive. If you are not quite ready to report incidents to Arbitration Enforcement, the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents lists places to report persistent vandalism or spamming, impolite or uncivil communications with other editors, edit warring and other incidents. When citing or reporting alleged incidents or violations of policy, please keep the following in mind:

  • When criticising particular edits, comment on the content and not identity of the contributor. Aside from the fact that attempting to challenge a particular argument by challenging the person who offered the argument constitutes a logical fallacy, it is likely to be a violation of WP:NPA.
  • Before making accusations that an editor has violated a certain policy or guideline, be sure that you are familiar with the policy or guideline, and are aware of how particular terms are defined and applied. If you have doubts, please contact another editor or an administrator for clarification.
  • Avoid speculating about the intent of editors and try to assume good faith. The latter part of a sentence that starts with "His/her additions violate WP:NOR and WP:NPOV because ..." should explain how the additions violate WP:NOR and WP:NPOV, not why you believe the editor made a policy-violating addition.
  • Do not make allegations of harassment (including stalking) unless you have fairly strong proof of such.
  • Remember that editors who repeatedly violate these principles, especially if they've been previously cautioned for doing so, will be blocked.

Membership

[edit]

The group welcomes editors with differing points of view, as well as uninvolved folks. Members should support the project's goals and be willing to engage in non-combative conversation. Otherwise, there are no specific criteria for membership at this time.

Membership agreement. Membership is open to all comers, including new editors. We ask only that members observe the following membership expectations:

  1. members commit, to the best of their ability, to always comply with Wikipedia policies such as assuming good faith of all editors including those on the other side of the real-world dispute, writing with a neutral point of view, remaining civil and avoiding personal attacks, utilizing reliable sources for contentious or disputed assertions, and resorting to dispute resolution where necessary;
  2. representation from editors/admins not involved in Israel-Palestine POV disputes should be actively encouraged, as well as roughly balanced representation from both "sides" of the battleground;
  3. decisions for the WikiProject will primarily be based on the consensus of members, however, non-members are dearly welcome to participate in all our collaborations and discussions.

Ashley kennedy3 (talk) Involved, constantly, treads where other fear to (that's not meant to be derogatory to other, I understand their reasons), gets blocked consequently on a regular basis.

AFriedman (talk) I'll be happy to help keep discussions about articles in this WikiProject civil and articles NPOV. I've enjoyed doing this for other contentious articles. Interested in welcoming other users to this project. WP:NPOV, WP:1RR, WP:CIVIL I recently read a Wikipedia article about a journalist in the Islamic world who had been imprisoned for expressing moderate views on the conflict. Reading about him inspired me to join this WikiProject. I think it's important to promote free speech, and unfortunate that so many countries don't allow this. I don't agree with what extremist Jews are doing in Israel, either.
CordeliaNaismith (talk) I want to help with increasing civility on wikipedia on dialog on this topic, and helping ensure that pages within the scope of this project adhere to WP:NPOV. WP:NPOV,WP:1RR,WP:CIVIL I am joining this project because I saw that User:AFriedman joined.

Arielkoiman With knowledge on the subject, I hope to contribute positively toward a neutral consensus on this issue. Reconciliation is fundamental. 1RR, WP:Cool, CIVIL, CSB Typically I write from a centrist viewpoint, and have little tolerance for fundamentalism and aggression (again, on both sides).

MichaelNetzer (talk) Have been involved in articles on settlements with numerous talk page discussions on policy and article improvement. Member of WikiProject Israel. Sources, Balance, Civility, Neutrality Spent a good part of my life on both sides of the conflict and believe it's imperative we try to work things out in an atmosphere conducive to goodwill. General understanding of the history as well as the cultural nuances fueling the division.
user:Crossovershipper talk I will make some edits to pages relating to the israel/palestine conflict here and there,to add some facts, and to fix some biases. Also i will edit and add pages of notable palestinians and israelis, if needed. Cool;NVC; NPOV When i did some research on this topic, this topic was more complicated than i thought , and i learned that neither side is innocent. I got tired of seeing loaded, biased articles on this topic on the web. I also got tired of the immuature fanatics on both sides of this debate. So i decided to do what i can get more people aware of some of the basic truths to this conflict.
Jprg1966 (talk) I do some janitorial tasks, as well as more substantial ones (like improving the machine translation of Jerusalem during the crusader period). I am glad to provide Third Opinions. I am fairly knowledgeable about the conflict overall, with special focus on the post-Oslo negotiations and Israeli domestic politics.
Mau Ro (talk) I have been editing the Academic boycotts of Israel page in attempt to create a clearer and more understandable structure as well as to even out the POV in order to make it more balanced and neutral. I am about to begin work on a new section for the BDS page in hope of creating a space for a more nuanced conversation of the movement.
Gouncbeatduke (talk) I am not emotionally involved in this issue, and I am not Israeli or Palestinian or Jewish or Muslim. However, I have noticed that several current English Wikipedia articles contain an anti-Muslim Systemic bias. I believe this is likely due to the disproportionate number of Israeli or Jewish editors vs. Palestinian or Muslim editors of English Wikipedia articles, and NOT due to any malicious intent of editors. WP:NPOV
Kingsindian (talk) My view is that cleaning up is as important as adding new information. A lot of articles can improve by simple organization, starting with the lead. Also articles need to be linked together, and there should be more sharing, perhaps using WP:TRANSCLUDE. WP:NPOV, WP:RS
