{{helpme}} I was wondering how I could get a translation OR forward something to a wikipedia site in another language (with a disclaimer ofcourse)?

Thanks, Lihaas (talk) 05:41, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi,
Not quite sure I understand your question. Do you want to read English articles in other languages? or trasnslate them?

{{helpme}} Well there's an article about DYA in Spanish but not in english. I was wondering if I could like to the Spanish version from the English version, OR get it translated over to English.

Thanks

maybe an auto-translation, you mean? e.g. this ? --  Chzz  ►  06:20, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Can I use that for a wikipedia english page? all the sources would be in spanish.

thanks Check out Wikipedia:Translation especially the link for translation from the Spanish language. I think that is what you are looking for. -Optigan13 (talk) 06:51, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

if you are able to translate the page into reasonable English, then yes. The refs can be spanish - no problem there. You should put (Spanish) on the end of them. But that's fine. --  Chzz  ►  09:36, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Zionist political violence, not Israeli actions.

Hi Lihaas. I've removed the Lavon Affair and the USS Liberty from that listing, they're not "political violence" in any regular sense.

There are lots of other incidents that do belong, however.

I'd suggest starting a TalkPage discussion on the lede to specify what we're talking about, the current "Zionist political violence, or Zionist Terrorism, in the British Mandate of Palestine occurred mainly in the 1930s and 1940s aimed at making the functioning of the British rule difficult and restriction of immigration impossible. The Zionist organizations Irgun and Lehi targeted British policemen and soldiers, United Nations-personnel, Jews suspected of collaborating with the British, and Arab civilians .[1] Irgun was described as a terrorist organization in media such as the The New York Times newspaper,[2][3] and by the Anglo-American Committee of Enquiry.[4] Irgun was formally condemned by the World Zionist Congress in 1946.[5]" is ridiculously inadequate.

I'd suggest something along the lines of "Zionist political violence, or Zionist Terrorism, extended throughout the British Mandate of Palestine period and into modern day Israel. Initially it was aimed mostly at Arab civilians, from 1940 and particularily from 1945, it was aimed at making the functioning of British rule difficult and restriction of immigration impossible. At various times it has included attacks on Jews. Terrorism in the regular sense decreased sharply after the 1948 War of Israeli Independence but isolated incidents continue" PRtalk 12:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
