Talk:Elias Chacour

message: This is historically impossible.  He could not have been evicted by "Israeli authorities" in 1947, as there was no State of Israel then, nor any entity with the power of eviction other than the British Mandate.  If someone could ascertain who evicted him, this could be made more accurate.  68.127.190.254 (talk) 16:57, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

message: *He has received many international peace awards and been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize on three occasions.
Being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize is an honor, but it is not official or even prestigious. Any national legislator or about a third of the university professors in the world can make a nomination, and there have been as many as 140 some years. Nominators are requested to keep their nominations secret, so it's only those wishing publicity who make announcements, and more often it is impossible to verify. I see no reason to keep it. No offense to the subject, this is a general Nobel Peace Prize "nominees" issue. -Will Beback · † · 08:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm sorry to see that an editor attempted to remove Palestinian references from this article.  Please note that Archbishop Chacour was born in British Palestine in 1939. This makes him Palestinian by birth as well as by self-identification.  Terribly sorry if some people find this an inconvenient truth.   Majoreditor 05:03, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

message: This article still reads more like a press release than an encyclopedic work. And the final quote is far too lengthy. Please feel free to wikify and enhance. 18:28, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup

message: this piece is far from NPOV
Chacour is a controversial political activist.  An officer of a highly controversial [political activist group, Sabeel.   That needs to be brought forward.  Calling oneself a "peace" activist cannot override the demonstrable fact that one is a political activist.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Morningside Clio (talk • contribs) 22:33, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

message: in the section on the Mar Elias schools, I replaced a section asserting that the schools have a student body "representing all major religions and ethnicities in Israel" because I can find no evidence onthe schools web pages to back it up.  Whig historian (talk) 03:01, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Teaching and Peace Advocacy

message: This article has far to go. In its original form it was an uncritical haliography. Mrningside Clio and his sockdrawer took the opposite approach, riddling it with unneeded request sfor citations and by selective presentation of material; for example, what he chose to present from the Emory Magazine article rather than the a balanced representation of what the article reported. Due to BLP concerns I have removed some of his edits.
As it stands now, the article is woefully underdeveloped. The article would also benefit from a balanced, holistic section on his reception in the world. While Chacour is widely admired in many quarters he has indeed been criticized by some. Both of these perspectives should be presented. Does anyone wish to make a go of it? I will be happy to assist later this year. Cheers, Majoreditor (talk) 16:36, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Going forward

message: Large portions of this article as it stands now were plagiarized, verbatim (with a few interpolated passages), from the website of Elias Chacour's school.
Read the original text here:
http://www.meei.org/who/abuna.html
It seems reasonable to assume that the author(s) of the wikipedia piece don't cite its sources in order to conceal the plagiarism.
By the way, the bit about the Nobel Prize nomination, a dubious honor at best, is touted on his school's website.

message: Hello all... 
An image used in the article, specifically :Image:Abuna small.jpg, has a little bit of a licensing issue.  The image was uploaded back when the rules around image uploading were less restrictive.  It is presumed that the uploader was willing to license the picture under the GFDL license but was not clear in that regard.  As such, the image, while not at risk of deletion, is likely not clearly licensed to allow for free use in any future use of this article.  If anyone has an image that can replace this, or can go take one and upload it, it would be best.
