Executive summary: the vast majority of the edit history of Occupations of Palestine can be found under Struggle over Palestine while its discussion is under Occupation of Palestine/Archive1.

Below is a description of how this happened.

  • The Occupation of Palestine page was created on 03:02, 14 Sep 2004. Here is the first version.
  • It was prompty put on VfD on 20:33, 14 Sep 2004. Here is the original complaint.
  • On 13:12, 21 Sep 2004, while the VfD was on, the page was moved to Israeli occupation of Palestine and a new Occupation of Palestine page was created to discuss all occupations of Palestine in the past. See the original version, the VfD at the time and the tally at the time.
  • An argument broke over when to stop the VfD and how to interpret the results. No side gave in, but after a while it seemed as if consensus was reached since
    • The VfD stabilized roughly on 09:43, 24 Sep 2004;
    • Israeli occupation of Palestine stabilized on a redirect on 00:09, 24 Sep 2004 after a relatively short edit war; and
    • Work on the historically oriented page continued.
  • On 15:20, 5 Oct 2004, a piece from Occupation of Palestine was copied into a new article Political status of Palestine.
  • On 21:25, 22 Oct 2004, it was suggested that the (historically oriented) Occupation of Palestine be renamed. A discussion ensued as to the most appropriate name.
  • On 01:45, 25 Oct 2004 all the historic occupations were copied and pasted into a new page called Occupations of Palestine, the previous contents of the page were replaced with a draft for a new page and all the discussion of the historical occupations page was promptly (02:32, 25 Oct 2004) archived here.
  • On 04:54, 25 Oct 2004, the Occupation of Palestine page was moved to Struggle over Palestine.
