[edit] Re:Picture

Hi, I'm sure it could be uploaded to the commons but I don't know how to upload it there; I usually wait for a bot to do it but if you know how, you should go ahead. By the way, good luck on translating the article, its my favorite on wikipedia ;) --Al Ameer son (talk) 01:14, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Perfect setup. I do want to point out though, that you should add a reflist for the citations. --Al Ameer son (talk) 01:29, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem, any time you need something concerning the article you could just contact me. --Al Ameer son (talk) 01:37, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I'll check the book immediately. I'm pretty sure there was only one ceasefire, but I could be wrong. I'll get back to you in about an hour.... I'm about to eat dinner ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Al Ameer son (talk • contribs) 00:44, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok, apparently there was no real ceasefire, but rather a cooldown after Jordanian forces killed 3000-15,000 Palestinian fighters and civilians in cities in Jordan such as in Zarqa, as-Salt and Amman in September 1970. Palestinians still held Irbid and Ajlun. King Hussein and Prime Minister Wasfi Tel went for the last blow and forced out the remaining PLO forces from Jordan, killing an additional 3,000 Palestinians in June 1971. An agreement was made again through contacts between King Hussein and Arafat but they never actually met. In the end Arafat and his fighters fled to Lebanon. I hope that clarifies it, if not inform me. Cheers and Good Night! --Al Ameer son (talk) 01:21, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

The source in the book says the bus attack occurred on March 13, 1975 but I think User:Tiamut made some corrections or added info from a different source. You should contact her for any information, I don't want to undo her edit and be the wrong one. --Al Ameer son (talk) 21:20, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi all. I believe there's a typo there. The year should read 1975. Noam Chomsky places the event in April 1975. And William J. Durch on page 185 of the book linked to here gives a more exact date of April 13 1975. Sorry for any confusion. Tiamut^talk 13:24, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

No problem. The Aburish book that Al Ameer Son uses is a good overall source, but (I think) it's a translation from Arabic into English and that the month got mistranslated at March 13, rather than April 13. Every other source I've seen says April or April 13, so I think it's safe to go with that. Good luck on the Norwegian version of the article and thanks for your attention to detail.

Thank you for the clarification. --Al Ameer son (talk) 18:12, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Oslo Agreements

Those were all reactions toward the Oslo Accords. Some viewed it as a surrender and concession-making (PFLP, DFLP, ALF, PLF, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, refugees and intellectuals) while others saw it as an opportunity to live almost normally again (Arab inhabitants of the territories) There weren't any reactions towards the peace prize, at least not from the source(s) provided. --Al Ameer son (talk) 21:39, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, you're right, but I can't think of another phrase. Do you have one? --Al Ameer son (talk) 14:26, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok thanks. I'm very excited to learn that Yasser Arafat will be a featured article in Norwegian too. Great job! --Al Ameer son (talk) 15:45, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
