replies: text: American Israel Public Affairs Committee →  – The organization is known primarily as "AIPAC". Non-ambiguous common name. Schierbecker (talk) 03:29, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

text: Oppose.  Bad title for a reference document.  Abbreviations like all forms of jargon are unhelpful to readers. SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:05, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there a policy-based reason for your oppose? The fact that you agree "AIPAC" is more common puts this in WP:UCN territory. Schierbecker (talk) 20:56, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: After looking at what was posted by SilverLocust, the policy does support a move. Especially since I as an Israeli citizen cannot recount the full name, but do often mention the abbreviated name. While that is anecdotal, I think it still stands.Zorblin (talk) 01:41, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Requested move 18 December 2023 

message: The sentence Cuellar called Amnesty International "antisemitic" after the release of its report accusing Israel of the crime of apartheid, in agreement with the Human Right Watch and other Israeli and international human rights groups in section  is confusingly phrased. When I initially read it I interpreted it as meaning that the HRW and other rights groups agreed with Cuellar's accusation of antisemitism, instead of the factual reality of them agreeing with Amnesty's accusation of genocide. Thus, the sentence should be rephrased. (I would submit a proper edit request, but I don't quite have enough time to do that properly so I am leaving this as message instead for other editors to take up the task, and/or a a note to self to remind me)  – 99.146.242.37 (talk) 17:50, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I edited this section when the request was submitted. Fixed the quote (which was wrong), added a cite to support HRC's role in the matter (the existing cite didn't cover it), and I think all is clear and correct now. (Note: I just removed an errant "not done for now" response, because it was done.) -- M.boli (talk) 16:17, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusing sentence phrasing 

message: "AIPAC describes itself as a bipartisan organization, and the bills for which it lobbies in Congress are always jointly sponsored by both a Democrat and Republican."
The way this is written implies that the organization is factually bipartisan and does not clarify that the second statement is a claim by AIPAC rather than an observed fact. The phrasing "the bills [...] are always jointly sponsored" is simply a falsehood. A counterclaim from an authentic source should also be added to state how aligned the organization truly is between Democrats and Republicans.
Finally, the source used (Times of Israel) could be argued to be biased or have conflict of interest to say AIPAC is bipartisan. A reliable American or international source would be needed for this issue. I.Elgamal (talk) 13:24, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Inaccurate/confusing statement from unreliable source 

message: AIPAC has been thoroughly criticized and has innumerable controversies mentioned in the literature but the section seems to focus more on criticism by US politicians which sort of misses the big picture. Makeandtoss (talk) 10:11, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
