Mohamed Hadid article

Hi, a clear consensus on whether we should include Mohamed Hadid's national identity (Palestinian) in the article's infobox is needed. A relevant discussion can be found here. Thanks in advance! Thedarkknightli (talk) 00:16, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Leave article as is. First we need to note that already Hadid's article has in the lead that he "is an American real estate developer of Palestinian [an Arab ethnonational group, not a country] origin", in the Early life section that "Hadid was born into a Palestinian Muslim family", "a major religion in Palestine [the Palestine (region), not a country], being the religion of the majority of the Palestinian population" (an ethnonational group, not a country), and I added as the first line in the Personal life section with a ref that "Hadid identifies as an American-Palestinian" (an ethnonational group). As to using the "Nationality" parameter in the Infobox, per WP:INFONAT: "In biographies, a |nationality= field should not be used." That is a clear Wikipedia dictate and Wikipedia precept, and cannot be changed here. As to his citizenship, it is already listed as "US (naturalized)" and "Jordan". Since he was born in Nazareth, possibly he could be an Israeli citizen, but Nazareth is clearly in Israel and clearly outside of the boundaries of the State of Palestine, a country recognized by many countries, but not the US, et al. (see, this map and this map). There are no refs that I have found so far specifically stating or specifically confirming that Hadid became a citizen of the State of Palestine, rather he is a Palestinian, a member of "an Arab ethnonational group native to the region of Palestine" (this being the Wikilink of the Palestine (region), not a country). The article already emphasizes that he is a member of the ethnonational group, Palestinians, and the Infobox must not be changed or annotated without at least one reliable source to add another country (and not a region or ethnonational group per WP:INFONAT). Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 02:01, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again, there's an ongoing dispute over whether we should explain his Palestinian identity in the lead, which can be seen on the same thread. Thanks in advance! Thedarkknightli (talk) 17:26, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nahlah Ayed

Could a subject matter expert from this project take a look at Nahlah Ayed and determine if the latest edits by Doubter205 are valid or if they should be reverted. Thank you. 176.108.139.1 (talk) 18:07, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Palestinian solidarity

Currently, there is no article on the global pro-Palestinian movement. This seems like a notable omission. Perhaps a title such as International pro-Palestinian activism, Palestinian solidarity movement, or simply Palestinian solidarity might work? Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 11:56, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, due to some kind of mistake in the past, English, unlike more sensible languages, allows both upper and lower case letters - Palestine Solidarity Movement. Sean.hoyland (talk) 15:29, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with Bohemian.

Interesting I also can’t see an equivalent article on the global anti-apartheid movement re South Africa. Onceinawhile (talk) 17:49, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I noticed that as well and previously added a note on the South African WikiProject about that. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 21:39, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bohemian Baltimore: how about Palestinian cause?

Whatever the title, one of the most valuable elements of such an article would be a clear explanation on its popularity in the context of the many other geo-political conflicts of our age. Onceinawhile (talk) 12:02, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Onceinawhile There's also an article titled Palestinianism, but it isn't about the global pro-Palestinian movement. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 14:46, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The World Destubathon

You are invited to participate in The World Destubathon. It's currently planned for June 16-July 13, partly due to me having hayfever during that period and not wanting to run it throughout July or August in the hotter summer and will be run then unless multiple editors object. There is currently $3338 going into it, with $500 the top prize. As 250 countries and entities is too much to patrol, entries will be by user, but there is $500 going into prizes for editors covering the most countries. Sign up if interested! ♦ Dr. Blofeld
