[edit] Islanders redundancy

Oops. For some reason, I thought I was reverting away from the redundancy rather than adding it. Thanks for correcting my edits. Croctotheface 20:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Al-Aqsa Intifada

"Al-Aqsa Intifada begins", while technically a whole sentence, is far too insufficient. Whether Sharon's visit was the cause -- or intent -- it's indisputable that the violence followed his visit, which is what the entry says. --CalendarWatcher 23:06, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

How about "The Al-Aqsa Intifada begins. 4658 people are estimated to have been killed during the conflict"?
An interesting new meaning of the word 'compromise' I wasn't previously aware of: you get to further emphasize the violence (such as your attempt to insert the 'six years' business) to advance your political views while leaving out the inconvenient detail you want left out by not mentioning the trigger -- which is precisely the point of specifying a date certain for its start. Perhaps you're unclear on the meaning of compromise? My guess is: no. --CalendarWatcher 14:21, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Give me a alternative, dont just insult me.
To what? Inserting the starting point for an event? And as for the 'insults', you can start by not insulting my intelligence. --CalendarWatcher 05:36, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi guys. This ought to be easier to solve than the actual Israeli/Palestinian conflict; it's just a headline in an encyclopedia. Here are the basic facts as I understand them:
  1. Ariel Sharon did in fact visit the Temple Mount on September 28, 2000
  2. Palestinian uprisings and demonstrations started on September 29, 2000
  3. The October Uprising started soon thereafter.
Are we all agreed that the event that happened on September 28 was in fact Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount? That visit is certainly significant to the timeline, regardless of whether it's the ultimate or penultimate trigger, or merely a pretext for violence that would have taken place anyway. Is there any objection to this phrasing?
It doesn't claim that the visit triggered the Intifada; it merely says that the visit took place on this date (which is the point of the date pages) and was a significant event in the timeline of the Intifada. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 16:56, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! It looks like we've settled on a version that everyone can live with. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 06:22, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] September 28

Ok, you're both up to WP:3RR now. That's enough of the revert war for the moment...feel free to take it to Talk:September 28. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 00:12, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
