O.K., I placed a senetence about "subject to much controversy, including both praise and criticism" in the lede. Bearian (talk) 19:40, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

DYK

On 30 July, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article disinvestment from Israel, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Blockage/Blockade of the Gaza Strip

Hi, John. I wanted to let you know that for non-controversial moves like the one you requested at WP:RM, you can simply list them under the Uncontroversial proposals section, as they don't require any discussion. That way, you can ensure that those who monitor the requested moves page can more quickly fix the issue with the title. I've moved the page to the correct location, but I just wanted to let you know for future use. Regards, Parsecboy (talk) 02:26, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Palestinian sanctions articles

I don't object to a separate article on the Gaza blockade, but I'm worried the new title for the original article may be misleading, as it implies the sanctions imposed in 2006 have ended. They have been eased, but Israel still has not returned all the withheld tax revenues. I'm not sure but I think the banking restrictions are still in effect, too.

Ah, I am not fully informed of the situation. Please change it back then. --John Bahrain (talk) 02:57, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

HonestReporting

I respect your judgement in removing the new section I inserted at HonestReporting. But (other than the "Controversy" title, which I'm unsure of) it seems to me that something of that kind definitely belongs in there. HR makes these claims as part of its regular activities (I see 9 articles they have attacking JH), but JH's position, at least in this case, is clear and defensible. There seems no point in an article that doesn't document what HR is doing. PR^talk 15:03, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
