- What I think should be changed (format using {{textdiff}}):
− | On the other hand, expressing pro-Syrian | + | On the other hand, expressing pro-Syrian viewpoints, The Economist |
- Why it should be changed: As it is written, it is not neutral since the word "rhetoric" has mostly negative connotations.
- References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): [1]

References
- Note: Apart from the loaded word "rhetoric", the sentence (
On the other hand, expressing pro-Syrian rhetoric, The Economist found, represents the Golan Druzes' view...
) doesn't make much sense and needs to be changed. M.Bitton (talk) 12:50, 28 January 2024 (UTC) - Done I've cleaned up this sentence as well. Sagflaps (talk) 19:33, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
Scope?[edit]
What is the scope of this article? The territory occupied by Israel in 1967, or a more general geographic area that possibly extends to non-occupied parts of Syria and Lebanon? Makeandtoss (talk) 10:16, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
Gamla Nature Reserve[edit]
Under Landmarks, below the pictures of Gamla Nature Reserve, I think it’s important to mention that the pictures are featuring the winter views of the region (during the winter). From April to November it has a very different look to it. it’s getting dry and yellow. דולב חולב (talk) 14:53, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Do we really have to be very precise about the date of a picture?
- I mean, you can see the date it was created by clicking on the picture.PAper GOL (talk) 20:28, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
