Title violates NPOV rules

Hello all,

In looking at some of the articles on the various Gaza-Israeli conflicts, it's obvious that this article violates NPOV rules by adopting the Israeli operational codename for the war. It's obvious that if this article were called by the Palestinian operational name, it would also violate the NPOV rules. As per the other articles, it should be renamed. Because this might be argued, I figured I'd post to the talk page first before making this change. It would require some alterations in the article body as well to recognize and equally place the two names given to the war by opposing sides. Tarek (talk) 08:06, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Its WP:COMMONNAME and have proper move discussion if you want to rename--Shrike (talk) 09:02, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 23 June 2018

This edit request to Operation Pillar of Defense has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Remove the comma in the first paragraph after 'killing' so that the sentence is grammatically correct and reads 'killing of' rather than 'killing, of' Nickyschlobs (talk) 07:20, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done--QueerFilmNerd (talk) 09:17, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate information at end of Background section

The end of the Background section seems to contain some duplicate information. The last two sections contain the following sentences:

"Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari stated, "We haven't sent any weapons to Gaza because it is under blockade, but we are honoured to announce that we gave them the technology of how to make Fajr-5 missiles." Ali Larijani said Iran was "honored" to help Gaza's Hamas with "material and military aspects"."

"However, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari stated "We haven't sent any weapons to Gaza because it is under blockade, but we are honoured to announce that we gave them the technology of how to make Fajr-5 missiles." Meanwhile, Ali Larijani said Iran was "honored" to help Gaza's Hamas with "material and military aspects"."

Can the text be changed here so that these sentences are only mentioned once? Youngrubby (talk) 19:24, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
