[edit] History of the Jews in Jordan
Suggest add material from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Victor_falk/Segregation_in_Jordan
I just added it and then saw it had been removed straight away. Dunno why as it seems to be directly relevant and sites good sources. I was in the process of adding updated info from the US state department about changing situation in Jordan so article ois better edited.
But if its going to turn into a stupid flame war I won't waste my time.

- Nuts! How crazy is that! The "site" you quote is actually a mirror site that uses Wikipedia images to sell pharmacy products! All the material is from other Wikipedia articles and not from any other outside source. The citations from those other articles may need to be added, but only Wikipedia was used. Thank you.

- Accepted as a non-violation. This kind of thing occasionally happens due to a race condition. It's very, very rare, and we apologize for the inconvenience. — madman bum and angel 00:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Solution to Arabia vs Saudi Arabia vs Arabian Peninsula
Please see the following articles that should now solve the problems we have been discussing:
- The History of the Jews in Arabia page is now the History of the Jews in Arabia (disambiguation) page (see it to understand the comprehensive nature of the solution and why it is necessary.
- A new main article is now History of the Jews in the Arabian Peninsula that summarizes the Jewish histories within and connected to the areas of all the present countries in the Arabian Peninsula.
- The History of the Jews in Saudi Arabia is now part of a set of nine articles that relate to the nine countries in the present day Arabian Peninsula, as follows:
- The main category for all the above is now the new Category:History of the Jews in the Arabian Peninsula which is itself a sub-category of: Category:History of the Arabian peninsula, Category:Jewish history by region, Category:Jews and Judaism in Southwest Asia, Category:Judeo-Islamic topics
This took me a while to write, research and organize, but it was well worth the time and efforts I put into it to create clarity and avoid confusion from now on. Thank you very much, IZAK (talk) 13:41, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Jews can be Jordanian nationals
The article claims, incorrectly, that no Jew can be a citizen of Jordan. Actually, the restriction on Jewish would-be citizens applies only to persons who possessed Palestinian nationality before 15 May 1948 and were regular residents resident in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan between 20 December 1949 and 16 February 1954. Aside from that, the Jordanian citizenship law provides for a naturalization procedure which does not place any restriction on Jews or any other religious group:
- Any person other than a Jordanian who is not incapable by law may apply to the Council of Ministers for grant of a certificate of Jordanian naturalization if:
- (1)He has been regularly resident in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan for a period of four years preceding the date of his application;
- (2)He intends to reside in the Hashemite Kingdom of the Jordan.[1]
It is also false that no Jew can own land in Jordan.
Therefore, I suggest that both claims be removed from the article, which I'll do myself if no one objects.--Abenyosef (talk) 04:42, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
