Talk:International Institute for Counter-Terrorism

message: Eliot A. Cohen ("Eliot A. Cohen (born April 3, 1956) is the Robert E. Osgood Professor of Strategic Studies at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at the Johns Hopkins University. Cohen is the Director of the Strategic Studies Program at SAIS and has specialized in the Middle East, Persian Gulf, Iraq, arms control, and NATO. He is a member of the Project for the New American Century and "is one of the few teachers in the American academy to treat military history as a serious field" according to International Law scholar Ruth Wedgwood.[1] He served as Counselor to the United States Department of State under Secretary Condoleezza Rice from 2007 to 2009") is most certainly an expert on the topic. Writing in Foreign Affairs, the premier US establishment foreign affairs journal, he discussed the topic. He can certainly be used as an RS on the topic, his comments are certainly due for the lead given his qualifications and the pretige of the journal in which the material is published. 
What is more the article is almost entirely sourced to the the organisations self published material making the deletion of what is a gold standard source for this topic even more egregious. Dlv999 (talk) 17:58, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Santini has expressed his belief that he thinks that spinning-tops can levitate, and he presumably also subscribes to Evans's belief in perpetual motion. Nuclear power stations should employ more sensible people!

replies: text: The major purpose of United Israel Appeal, Inc. in NY (UIA) is to facilitate fundraising for Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI). Annual IRS 990 forms of UIA (e.g. 2020) do not mention Keren HaYesod which is a financial arm of JAFI, but clearly state that UIA recommends to Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) appointments (donations) to specific projects of JAFI. Indeed UIA and Keren HaYesod of JAFI did not merge. It was UIA and JFNA that went through slight name changes and merged in 1999 according to the United Jewish Appeal entry which reads "The United Jewish Appeal (UJA) was a Jewish philanthropic umbrella organization that existed from its creation in 1939 until it was folded into the United Jewish Communities, which was formed from the 1999 merger of United Jewish Appeal (UJA), Council of Jewish Federations and United Israel Appeal, Inc. In 2009, United Jewish Communities changed its name to The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA)." By the way, Charity Navigator gives a good (97) but incomplete review of UIA because it can't evaluate its impact.-Yohananw (talk) 00:40, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi Tewfik: I would like to ask you why you moved the article minutes before nominating it for deletion? Like the Knesset the Histadruth or the Likud, Maavak Sozialisti is known by its hebrew name. But if you want the article deleted anyway, why do care under what name it is deleted? Your move makes it hard to see the article history or google for more references. ابو علي (Abu Ali) 08:01, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Well if you google Maavak Sozialisti, you will get mainly relevant information about the organisation. Wereas if you google Socialist Struggle you will get mainly irrelevant stuff. Should the the "Socialist Struggle" article be deleted? Why not, I never heard of them. But should maavak Sozialisti be deleted? Of course not, they are the largest most active and most notable Trotskist organisation operating in Israel now and the only left organisation which has succeeded in building a base amoungst working class jewish Israelis. But as you said on the deletion page, lets focus on notability, and if we decide that the article is notable, we can discuss whether a move is a good idea. So on the question of notability: Can I ask you once again whether this article in Haaretz  fulfils the requirement for notability? Thanks, ابو علي (Abu Ali) 19:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Rabbis for Human Rights

message: Sean.hoyland, could you pls clarify rationale behind you placement of Warning Tag? I am just puzzled, I do not think the article has something to do with A-I conflict.--  Jim Fitzgerald post 16:15, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm tagging all articles in certain categories with the 1RR and sanctions notifications. I'm picking categories that I think fit within 'the entire set of Arab-Israeli conflict-related articles, broadly interpreted' as it says in the sanctions. In this case the category is :Category:Non-governmental organizations involved in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. That is the rationale, it's in the category, it gets the notifications. I usually have a quick look at each article to see whether it's appropriate and in this case I think it is because it involves things that attract problematic editing such as demolition of Palestinian houses and the barrier amongst other things. Does that make sense ? Sean.hoyland - talk 16:42, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

text: Also see here where I asked PhilKnight about this kind of situation where articles are related to the conflict somewhat indirectly. Sean.hoyland - talk 16:53, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I am not sure if the article completely fits into A-I, I think only 30%. Why do not we ask the opinions of A-I editors and see what they can say? My point is, that if the article is taken into A-I that would authomatically drag a non A-I editor into the harsh environment, who otherwise was not actually speciically intending to make edits in terms of A-I. In adition, there were not any disputs or edit war in this article. So, I think, it too early to apply the tag to this article. --  Jim Fitzgerald post 19:13, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There was no response, so I will be bold and hide the disputed tag.--  Jim Fitzgerald post 14:45, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem, I'll put a note about it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration/Current Article Issues when I get a chance. I'm pretty sure that it's covered by the 1RR restriction and the sanctions whether the tags are there or not though. Having the tags there just means that people can't say they didn't know about the active arbitration remedies if someone files a report for edit warring or something....not that that is likely in this article it seems.

Talk:Ramat Eshkol

message: In December 2007, this article was moved from it's original location Ramat Eshkol by User:Tkeu. I believe that this was a mistake, as the name Ramat Eshkol is used overwhelmingly more than Ramot Eshkol. I left the abovementioned user a message on his talk page but I don't think he is currently very active. However, I did some research and found that Ramat Eshkol is used almost exclusively:
* The Jerusalem Municipality 
* The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs  and  (scroll down)
* The Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics  (page 2)
* The Israeli Prime Minister's Office 
* Banks in Israel (e.g. )
* Egged, Israel's largest bus company (e.g.  page 3)
Additionally, Google returns about 35,000 hits for "רמת אשכול" as opposed to 5,000 for "רמות אשכול" (in Hebrew), and 19,000 for "Ramat Eshkol" as opposed to 2,000 for "Ramot Eshkol" (in English). The article uses Ramat Eshkol in the majority of cases, the Hebrew article is titled Ramat Eshkol and uses this pronunciation exclusively, and even the Hebrew spelling in this article is spelled that way.
I assume this is uncontroversial and will be bold and make the move.
