Removed apparent conspiracy theory about symbolism of badge pins

Hi all

Content was recently added to the article which appears to be a conspiracy theory claiming that the symbols on the pins is in reference to the lynching of 2 Israeli men by a Palestinian "mob" (use of the word mob added by the editor, not me), the editor also included an emotive quote about the killing. The references that were used were an opinion peice and reporting of claims by two activists (the term activist is used in their Wikipedia articles). I've removed the content because of the lack of evidence and the tone, happy to discuss here.

Just for information, there is currently a disccusion if jpost can be considered a reliable source at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard

Thanks

I left a note at Talk:2000 Ramallah lynching. Sean.hoyland (talk) 06:00, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much Sean.hoyland, looking at the contribution history of user who added this to both articles it appears they have done similar things on other articles. I'm not sure what the normal process is for this but I feel like would be really helpful for someone who understands this topic area well to check them, I spotted a few things which look quite problematic with just a cursory look. Thanks again, John Cummings (talk) 06:08, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I've been active in the topic area for a long time and I'm also not sure what the normal process is for this kind of situation. The existing processes seem to be designed for bright line violations rather than issues related to bias. Anyway, I'm going to very uncharacteristically assume good faith for now. Maybe they had a bad day. I left them a message, mainly out of curiosity given that they have been editing for so long, mostly at hewiki. Sean.hoyland (talk) 11:15, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a section on the symbols including the conspiracy theory and that it has been debunked by Snopes, hoepfully this will help reduce disinformation on the topic. John Cummings (talk) 11:58, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let's hope so. But the people spreading them do not seem to mind possibly violating copyright by changing the colors, and people susceptible to this kind of disinformation probably don't worry about due diligence if something confirms their preferred model of the world. Sean.hoyland (talk) 12:12, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey John, I doubled down on the snopes article and added additional citations. Hope this helps to keep things Neutral point of view. yonkeltron (talk) 02:52, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Yonkeltron sorry I didn't see this message, you didn't use a ping so I'd get notified. Can you tell me what you mean by doubled down? I reverted your edit because you readded the conspiracy theory, formatted it as a poem, added a non free image and used the Daily Mail as a reference. Please lets have a discussion here if you think other information should be added. Just FYI the link for NPOV on English Wikipedia is Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Thanks, John Cummings (talk) 09:02, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks, User:John Cummings. Why do you keep reverting edits? I removed the Daily Mail bit, added a direct quote from the Snopes article which was there previously. To be clear, the assertion of symbolism is not a conspiracy theory, is not a claim made without evidence, and the cited Snopes article does not "debunk" anything. I guess my question is: why you don't help fix the edits rather than continue to revert them? Thanks for engaging. yonkeltron (talk) 13:02, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, and is well-sourced. Earwig picks up some text, but that is a mirror from WP. No QPQ required as this is the nominator's 5th DYK. I tagged a ^[who?] in the text as I think it would be really good to clarify specifics there. I paused on neutrality, as I wondered if there was any commentary on opposition to the open letter than was reported on (in reputable sources) - if so, that would be a good inclusion for balance. I also found this source which states the collective began on 20 October, so that would also be good detail to include. Lajmmoore (talk) 21:45, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thank you Lajmmoore for reviewing it, I've added the date in. Just a note for anyone interested, there's a discussion on the talk page about opposition to the group in general, the only thing I can find is a conspiracy theory which was promoted by the Israeli government Twitter account that the badges are secretly celebrating the killing of Israeli soldiers, Snopes debunked it and I've included this debunking in the article. Also I'm wondering if its possible to add some kind of restriction to the page for the date it is in DYK as I think it could be a target for vandalism by IP addresses. John Cummings (talk) 10:40, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @John Cummings: for addressing the points above. Looks good to me. Could the prepper ping us when it's in a DYK queue, so that it could be semi-protected for when it features? Many thanks Lajmmoore (talk) 07:00, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article is covered by Wikipedia:Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict so WP:ARBECR applies. If the page is protected I guess extended confirmed protection is the appropriate protection level. Sean.hoyland (talk) 09:14, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
