PR request
[edit]Hello VR! Hope that you're doing well,
I saw your name on WP:PRV and thought that I'd request that you do a peer review for my soon-to-be first GA (insha'allah), Corrective Move. Best, 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 13:13, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
- I'm afraid I'm just terribly busy in real life these days (as my contribution history shows). But I'll try to read that article just for fun in my spare time and try to give you feedback.VR (Please ping on reply) 16:39, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
A sentence added by you in this article says that this airstrike was "celebrated" inside Israel but sources including one of the cited sources says that some familes of the hostages and some opposition politicians expressed fear for lives of the hostages per https://allisraelnews.com/hostage-families-fear-for-loved-ones-lives-politicians-across-political-spectrum-celebrate-israeli-strike-in-qatar and https://www.arabnews.com/node/2614795/amp.

- I've clarified that it was politicians[1].VR (Please ping on reply) 09:44, 13 September 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for your response. But some politicians also expressed fear for the lives of the hostages per the sources cited above. Pachu Kannan (talk) 10:28, 13 September 2025 (UTC)
- Sure, but we have to consider WP:DUE. The source itself says "
One of the few politicians criticizing the operation was Gilad Kariv, a lawmaker in the 'The Democrats' party
", the operative word here being "few". This reaction wouldn't be enough for the lead, but can be added to the body. By and large, most sources, including TOI, have said that most Israeli politicians have praised the attack.VR (Please ping on reply) 14:12, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

@Vice regent: Israeli Opposition leader Yair Lapid also expressed fear for the lives of the hostages after initially praising the attack per https://www.arabnews.com/node/2614795/amp . So I think that some politicians or widely celebrated is better wording. What is your opinion on this matter. Pachu Kannan (talk) 16:31, 14 September 2025 (UTC)
- That sounds good, go ahead and make that edit.VR (Please ping on reply) 02:27, 15 September 2025 (UTC)
Terra Nullius
[edit]Hello there
I have rewritten you recent contribution to this in order to focus on the terra nullius issue from a neutral point of view. I don't think there are any serious scholars who argue that the West Bank and Gaza strip are terra nullius and the establishment of Israel had nothing to do with the concept: it was a decision of the UN and various resolutions afterwards have clearly defined which territories belong to Israel and Palestine. So the articles you are citing are minority views by particular authors and should be attributed to those authors. Happy to discuss on the article talk page.
