Talk:Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi

message: At the end of the third paragraph, there's a reference to the "Palestinian Liberation Front (PLO)" -- is that the Palestine Liberation Front, or is it a different group? –Hajor
:The source of this information is probably http://www.jmcc.org/media/report/98/Jan/3b.htm - which says PLO, not PLF. I fixed the article accordingly. -- uriber 17:05, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: PLO/PLF

message: I'm leaving it here, in hopes that the person who added it or anyone else can verify it for us: "We will kill Jews everywhere. There will be no security for any Jews, those who came from America, Russia or anywhere." (Chicago Tribune July 23, 2002.) Everyking 16:55, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed anti-islamist quote, since there was no web reference 

message: There's a problem with the Arabic version of his name - the '23' and the Arabic name have been reversed in place, at least on my browser, because the part as a whole rather than just the Arabic letters is rendered right-to-left. Does anyone know what can be done about that?  - Andre Engels 19:18, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  LTR/RTL problem 

message: This article is in serious need of sourcing. The lack of sourcing in this article is a big problem. I will work on sourcing it, but help would be apreciated.--SJP 21:17, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sourcing 

message: First I have serious doubts about the context of this quote; the source is a deadlink and not even to the original, and given the phrasing I'm not sure that "everywhere" actually means "everywhere on Earth;" Jews who "come from" America and Russia sounds like a reference to immigrants to Israel or even Israeli settlers (who mostly come from America and Russia.) Palestinians often talk of "the Jews" in the same way that Israelis talk of "the Arabs," to refer each other. Can somebody find the original and verify it?
Secondly I think it's pretty inappropriate to use this quote as some kind of summation of Rantissi's overall views. We could just as justifiably use, "I believe that [political change in Israel] would end the conflict, with a cease-fire. What is needed is a withdrawal from all of Gaza and the West Bank, a chance to establish an independent state. We will agree to a truce. [...] We cannot tell our people to continue in an unequal conflict. But neither can anyone tell them to give in, to surrender in the face of Israel's aggression."  Or maybe we should not use this article for a collection of cherry-picked quotes at all, and we should just follow the lead of third-party secondary sources for what we say about him. <eleland/talkedits> 11:49, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've sourced it to a US Congress document. The original article is Israeli strike kills at least 12 in Gaza ; Targeted Hamas chief among dead by Uli Schmetzer. I can try to check my library for microfilm, or worse comes to worse, it's US$3.95 to but the article from the Tribune. -- Avi (talk) 05:00, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I found it via Factiva; it is that article. I'll update the source. -- Avi (talk) 05:06, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Kill the Jews everywhere" quote 

message: I'd like to note that, after checking the original Arabic version in context, it looked like he meant Israeli Jews.
I'll change it now to make that clear. Any disagreements?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.152.204.189 (talk) 21:39, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Firstly, that is a quote from the Chicago Times, and cannot be adulterated. Secondly, "looks like he meant" == WP:OR. If he did not say "Israeli Jews" that is solely your interpretation and not allowed on wikipedia per WP:NOR. I have restored the quotation to the unadulterated form. -- Avi (talk) 21:45, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

text: That is your interpretation, and is thus a WP:No original research violation. Bringing the unadulterated quotation is the correct method. Please remember that hagiographic edits are just as severe a violation of WP:NPOV as denigratory ones. -- Avi (talk) 19:56, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "We will kill Jews everywhere". 

message: "Along with these deaths a mother and her five year old daughter were killed."
It seems odd to say "3 people were killed, and four bystanders were wounded. Oh and 2 bystanders were killed."  Therefore I'm guessing this is a piecemeal addition, and was not supported in the now dead-link.  New refs for the casualties should be found, and if there is confusion or disagreement, that should be documented too. Rich Farmbrough, 10:58, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Sentence removed

message: I have removed the entire section on quotations. Wikipedia is not a directory and this section should go into Wikiquote. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and quotes should not just be dumped into the article at the bottom section. This is because quotes taken out of context can have vastly different meanings. Furthermore, some quotes do not have references at all. 220.255.2.20 (talk) 17:08, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quotations section 

message: The first paragraph reads: "Abdel Aziz Ali Abdul Majid al-Rantisi (23 October 1947 – 17 April 2004), nicknamed the "Lion of Palestine,"[1][2] was a terrorist and the co-founder of the Palestinian movement Hamas along with Sheikh Ahmed Yassin." 
The definition of terrorism is vague, i am not arguing if he was or not but to correctly phrase the wording, to: "nicknamed the "Lion of Palestine,"[1][2] was the co-founder of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas along with Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, he was predominately accused of supporting and actively supporting terrorism". 
The above remains neutral and satisfies certain points of views without angering others - neutrality.. Of course if you can think of better phrasing then cheers.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.78.191.90 (talk) 12:38, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
