Ijlil al-Shamaliyya
[edit]- ... that in January 1948, during the civil war in Mandatory Palestine, the Palestinian Arab residents of Ijlil al-Shamaliyya pledged neutrality with the Haganah, but left the village months later?
5x expanded by Huldra (talk). Nominated by Al Ameer son (talk) at 01:56, 24 September 2013 (UTC).
Looks good to me. New enough expansion, no neutrality issues (well done in this controversial subject), long enough, hook cited inline. —Cliftonian (talk) 12:37, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
The article is worded more neutrally than the hook: the article says "left" and that they asked their Jewish neighbors to keep an eye on their property, while the hook says "fled", a less neutral word. (The source uses the word "departed".) BlueMoonset (talk) 15:12, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
- Hmmm, I didn't notice that. I looked at the article, which used the word "left" rather than "fled"; my fault, I should have looked closer at the hook. I would also use the word "left" here rather than "fled". —Cliftonian (talk) 15:26, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
Hook adjustment is fine and it now aligns with sources; restoring approval. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:22, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
