Moshe Harif

This article needs some help with sourcing. The one source used is dead. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it. Best.4meter4 (talk) 17:32, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed the citation and added two secondary sources for a few additional facts mentioned in the article. Couldn't find any good sources on a cusory search but I'd assume the National Library of Israel has additional sources in its newspaper collection Totalstgamer (talk) 21:03, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Verification of street name

Hi, could someone verify that there is a street in Israel named after Petras Baublys? A couple of Lithuanian sources published the claim (without specifying a city), but I could not find anything on Google Maps. Thanks, Renata•3 03:28, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request for input: Hezi Shayb article - banner removal

Hello,

I've recently made extensive improvements to the article Hezi Shayb, including the addition of reliable, independent sources (news outlets, institutional websites, and library records). I’ve also submitted a request on the article’s Talk Page to remove the

template, as I believe the article now meets Wikipedia’s verifiability standards.

I’d appreciate if an editor from WikiProject Israel could take a look and provide input or support.

Thanks in advance! ~2026-68662 (talk) 08:12, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Just following up on my previous message regarding the Hezi Shayb article. The page has been updated with reliable sources from academic and media references, and I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could take a look and advise whether the

tag can now be removed.

Thanks again in advance! --~2026-68662 (talk) 09:17, 25 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

TBH I am not sure he is notable enough for an article. The article appears to have been written by himself or people associated with him. I've proposed the article be deleted. Number 5 7 16:20, 25 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Nahal Be'er Sheva

Could someone take a look at reference #7 in that article? It's malformed and I can't find the original. Thanks. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:25, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Rijikk: as the person who added the source. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:27, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I am here. What is the exact problem with the source? Rijikk (talk) 22:34, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Well among other things "אנציקלופדיה «מפה»" seems unusual with two unbalanced »'s. Google translates this as Encyclopedia «Map», so I would assume something like "«אנציקלופדיה «מפה" is more normal. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 04:06, 18 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing that. Now I removed the unnecessary quotation marks (the encyclopedia name is written sometimes with them, sometimes without). Is there anything else? Rijikk (talk) 19:54, 18 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

That would be it, as far as I noticed. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:15, 18 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know for Waiting for the Messiah (album)

Article was created by a now blocked user and nominated for DYK. If anybody is interested in seeing it through to the mainpage, it looks like it could be made ready in 20 odd minutes if you speak Hebrew. 1brianm7 (talk) 02:37, 25 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Is this just news? Please discuss or fix the issues tagged. Bearian (talk) 00:04, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

"Fix the issues tagged"? There are no sources cited, how is an article able to exist with no sources? IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 00:37, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced Israeli basketball articles

There are three unsourced Israeli basketball articles at Category:Articles lacking sources from June 2010, which almost certainly be deleted by the end of March 2026, unless someone else adds reliable sources. Just a heads up. Bearian (talk) 17:12, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Translation help needed for bilingual welcome template

Courtesy link: Template:Welcome-foreign/Hebrew

Hello. Can you help verify a brief, English-to-Hebrew translation in a welcome template?

Template:Welcome-foreign is a bilingual welcome template used to welcome new users who have written content in some other language besides English. The template welcomes them first in English, then in their own language, as long as it is one of the three dozen languages it can handle. New languages are easily added. I have added support for Hebrew, but I don't know Hebrew so I used automatic translation to create Template:Welcome-foreign/Hebrew from the original at Template:Welcome-foreign/English. I'd appreciate it if a native Hebrew speaker could verify or improve the translation. Feel free to edit it directly, or paste a better translation below, if you prefer not to edit a template. Thanks!
