Ethnicity

Since when "Muslims" or "Christians" are ethnic groups?

Demonym I am questioning this part:

Tel Avivi Ethnicity

• Jews	91%
• Muslims	3%
• Christians	1%
• Unclassified	5%

• Unsigned your argument doesn't take into account Jews as an ethnic group. I'd refer you to the Jewish right to return law that defines which Jews are and have been allowed to come and live in Israel. Jew in the way would be a loose use of the term ethnicity in this situation. In context in Israel Christians and Muslims fit the definition of an ethnic group.198.45.184.25 (talk) 04:14, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Impending tag blitz

As complained in 2009 and 2012 (see the archives of this talk page), the Economist City Guide for Tel Aviv is long defunct and was probably never a proper source for historical information. Unfortunately it is still the sole source for many statements. This is to give notice that I plan to remove it from the article quite soon. Zero^talk 21:18, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

There being no objections since 2009, I have removed this source. For a place so much written about as Tel Aviv, it should be no problem finding alternative sources. Zero^talk 10:56, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

I tagged the source you questioned as unreliable, giving a chance to other users to examine the source and add another, instead of quickly removing all of the cited claims. You should have tagged it as such, not remove it and tag too many sentences with citation needed and here are other examples for other templates to use (Template:Verify credibility) inside the page. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 15:37, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

I raised the issue on this discussion page three times over 4 years and never had the least dissent. That's much more opportunity for discussion than the issue requires. The "verify credibility" tag is useless; travel guides are substandard sources for history, it is as simple as that. I.e., the credibility has already been checked and found wanting. And calling my edit "vandalism" as you did is offensive. What is this nonsense about "quickly removing all of the cited claims"? I didn't remove any claims at all, kindly take that back.

At the same time I made the edit, I was reverting the vandalism to the climate data, but realized afterwards that someone had already reverted the vandalism to the climate date right before me. If you checked the dates, you'll notice they were made at a very close time. Another confusing thing was the part which was cited by something else, yet you tagged it with citation needed, when it already had another citation. In the end, I'll see if another tag is more appropriate. Thanks. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 11:08, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Reference 128 is a dead link

I don't want to break the references by accident, so I just thought I'd let people know here. Neo12345292 (talk) 12:37, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

No reference to the official name of the city? Tel Aviv-Yafo

Rather glaring and odd ommission (Unlike in the Hebrew language article, which includes it). Tel Aviv includes Jaffa, and it is named Tel Aviv-Yafo. That official name should be appear in the article's first line, if not in the title. Unfortunately the article editing is locked.
