I reverted the edit because the info is already included in the article lead at the end of para 2. Good idea, in general, to require sourcing for edit reqs, especially from random IP editreqs.

Suggestion: Change 'though' to 'although' or however in the intro.

Near the end of a sentence, though is confusing and would be better served by another word. Safes007 (talk) 04:37, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Change the name to just "Palestine", so that the page uses the common name of the state like most other pages about nation states.

‹ The template Edit extended-protected is being considered for merging. ›

I think the name of the page "State of Palestine", which is about the nation state commonly referred to as simply "Palestine". This would mean the page uses the name that most people use to refer to the state. When searching for the page, people are going to type in "Palestine" by default, and the search bar dropdown doesn't suggest "State of Palestine" as one of the things they could be looking for. Also, most pages on Wikipedia about nation states use the common name of the state as the title of the page. Just a few examples, with format "common English name (official English name)":

United Kingdom (United Kingdom of Great Britain and North Ireland) United States (United States of America) China (People's Republic of China) France (French Republic) Brazil (Federative Republic of Brazil) Egypt (Arab Republic of Egypt) Israel (State of Israel) Australia (Commonwealth of Australia) East Timor (Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste) Tanzania (United Republic of Tanzania) Kosovo (Republic of Kosovo) North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) Cyprus (Republic of Cyprus) Armenia (Republic of Armenia)

And many more. There is also nothing that they have in common with each other that Palestine doesn't that means it should not be named the same way as them. 81.106.42.190 (talk) 21:21, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

State of Palestine → Palestine – I think the name of the page "State of Palestine", which is about the nation state commonly referred to as simply "Palestine". This would mean the page uses the name that most people use to refer to the state. When searching for the page, people are going to type in "Palestine" by default, and the search bar dropdown doesn't suggest "State of Palestine" as one of the things they could be looking for.

The problem is that Palestine has a number of meanings Palestine. Slatersteven (talk) 14:52, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In principle, I agree with the proposal. However, if you create the wikilink Palestine, or the ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Palestine and see where you end up, it can be seen why this is not currently done. Perhaps not impossible to solve but I doubt that the will to do it exists. If one looks up the page, there were three prior attempts to do this, the last time in 2017 here, no consensus Selfstudier (talk) 15:01, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this should be procedurally closed as the filer is not allowed to participate in these discussions.

Partially recognized state

I made this edit which was reverted by @Selfstudier. I was referred to the RfC here above, but it was actually inconclusive with no consensus reached. It's already mentioned as such in the infobox, which gives me confidence in the correctness of the label.

My motivation for writing "partially recognized state" is because it reflects the situation the best. 55 states, including the US, Canada, the UK, AUS/NZ and most of the EU, do not recognize the State of Palestine. Which is where I'm pretty sure the bulk of English Wikipedia readers come from, which makes these two words worth mentioning. Synotia (talk) 20:42, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No consensus to include defaults to not included. Which you would know if you actually read the conclusion of the RFC. nableezy - 20:54, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the RFC is here, the close is up above due to a quirk in timing. nableezy - 20:56, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh thanks. Hmm, I see I'm far from alone... Synotia (talk) 20:59, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also far from a consensus. nableezy - 21:03, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will change the infobox back as well at some point. Since Israel is also included in Partially recognized state (ie List of states with limited recognition), how about I wander over to the Israel page and mark it as a partially recognized state, see what happens? Selfstudier (talk) 23:19, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 17 February 2023

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at State of Palestine. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
