message: Should be Haifa, Israel.  Is this Vandalism?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.153.53.150 (talk) 16:31, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it isn't. What vandalism is and isn't at Wikipedia is specified at WP:VANDAL. The basic line here is Don't rewrite history. Safdie was born in 1938, ten years prior to the foundation of the State of Israel. --Soman (talk) 17:53, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I've deleted text added by User:Sarahmperz several times, for the following reasons:
* the tone is not encyclopedic
* it is a direct copy of text found on other websites
* it is contributed by someone with a WP:COI|conflict of interest]] in this article
* it is of no importance to the article
Text added to articles may not be copied from other websites, even those you create, unless that text is licenced in a form acceptable for distribution by Wikipedia, and copyable by other entities. Further, the tone must be encyclopedic, not an essay or marketing spiel (eg - "We conceive of architecture as a natural extension of its surroundings" and "A central goal of our work is to create unique spaces and forms"). In fact, the entirety of the text deleted has little substance about the subject of this article. Mindmatrix 00:45, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

message: The article states Mr. Safdie is married to a "Michal Ronnen" with whom he has 2 kids. "Michal" is a male name. So, Mr. Safdie must be bi-sexual now, because before that, he was married to a woman (wife). And can he "have" kids with a man? He could have adopted them. Homosexuals often do under the new law. But then plase state so. Or is that mysterious "Michal" person a woman after all? But in what language is "Michal" female? I know Mr. Safdie from TV interviews, and I don't think he is bisexual. He acts very heterosexual. Please explain! 93.219.155.159 (talk) 08:30, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

message: Should Safdie be described as Israeli-Canadian or even Israeli-Canadian-American in the lead, rather than solely Israeli? I think so. Britannica lists him as Israeli-Canadian-American, which is probably the most accurate, although I've never seen triple nationality in the lead on Wiki. Universalis describes him as a "Canadian architect of Israeli origin", while Encyclopaedia.com and the Jewish Virtual Library both list him as Israeli-Canadian. In my quick Google research I found no major instance of him being described as solely Israeli. There's also a consistency issue with the article's short description and with the Habitat 67 article, which both use "Israeli-Canadian".
It feels pretty obvious to me that just "Israeli" is incomplete but I prefer discussing it before changing it to avoid appearances of nationalist editing. WikiFouf (talk) 21:12, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
