Talk:Za'atar

message: It says that "Ecologists found that wild za'atar was on the verge of extinction in Israel due to over-harvesting." The source from Haaretz says "Even though hyssop continues to grow in the wild, it is a protected plant..." That isn't saying its on the verge of extinction and mentions no ecologists. The other source, from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has been removed. There needs to be a source for the sentence or it should be removed.

message: User:Zero0000, I noticed where you made constructive edits to this article today, and which are generally good. However, since Zaatar is used by all peoples of the region, it is better to reword the sentence to read: "This species is also extremely common in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel, and the Palestine, and is used by peoples of the region to make one local variety of the spice mixture," rather than "...and is used by Palestinians to make one local variety of the spice mixture."Davidbena (talk) 14:10, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Another suggestion is to write "Israel/Palestine" rather than "Israel, and the Palestine." Here, we are are taking about a geographical region which was known by, and is still known by, both names. If we start mentioning two separate political entities, the matter becomes very complicated.Davidbena (talk) 14:14, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't know anything about Zaatar, I just put back older text that matched the sources and removed text that didn't match the sources. Some pov-pusher even edited a direct quotation and it can't be allowed. Find better sources and edit away. Zerotalk 14:18, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: That's fine, so with your permission, I will only insert - for better accuracy - that "This species is also extremely common in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel, and the Palestine, and is used by peoples of the region to make one local variety of the spice mixture." Be well.Davidbena (talk) 14:45, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
