Looks like it's removed. I don;t see it on the page. ~ UDScott (talk) 16:05, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Seven links on this page all pointed to articles on the enwp and none to pages on this site (enwq). I changed two of those links to point to existing wikiquote pages, and added a w: in front of the remaining links to enwp. I know some here object to this inelegant solution to a problem that most people agree exists here so lets have a discussion. Anyone? Ottawahitech (talk) 20:05, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

a crappy piece of land

I first found this controversial comment (crappy piece of land) on the enwp page of Selina Robinson. Unfortunately the ref supporting this quote has a glaring factual error in the title, attributing this comment to Gaza. To compensate I have corrected this error on our version by replacing the word Gaza with the word Israel. However I am not sure if this is what I am supposed to do.

Can anyone suggest a better way? Ottawahitech (talk) 16:19, 20 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Ottawahitech! Good to see you around. I looked at the various pages and can't find any evidence she was specifically referring to Gaza, so yes, there's a factual error in the title of the reference. I think you did the right thing by making it "Israel" since it's clear from the text that's what she meant. Since Gaza is technically part of Palestine, and part of the British Mandate of Palestine before the foundation of Israel, I suppose it's included, but that's a hair best left unsplit. I go with "Israel". (Incidentally, I laughed out loud at calling that extremely fertile patch of dirt with a Mediterranean climate "crappy" - it's only so if you consider how well fertilized it is by tens of thousands of years of habitation by humans and other temperate-climate critters.)
