Details of "targeting"?

Latest comment: 10 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion

The article states: Members of the Nashashibi family began to be targeted, as well as the Jewish community and British administrators. Raghib Nashashibi was forced to flee to Egypt after several assassination attempts on him, which were ordered by Amin al-Husayni. Is the passive voice here used due to lack of details, or can this be moved to active voice, showing who was "targeting" whom, and what form that targeting took? Thanks.

Hi Dotyoyo, more than a year after your comment. I would also prefer not using the passive voice, but the source to this sentence is a 2007 book that I have no access to. If you have a source making clear who was targeting whom, that would be great! Lova Falk (talk) 12:10, 28 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Lova Falk: I don't have access to the book either. There are some allegations involving specific names, but I haven't found any supporting claims in WP:RS. Dotyoyo (talk) 23:57, 8 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

Description of suggested change: Replace country links with historical states during that period. However, please replace the name of "Jordan" to "Transjordan" as it was renamed in 1949.

Hi you! You made understanding your request difficult for me, because nowhere in the text there was "[[Egypt]]<br>[[Syria]]<br>[[Iraq]]". But now I understand you maybe just mean each different country. Egypt was already linked in this way, but I did add your requested links for Syria and Iraq. However, I did not replace the name of "Jordan" to "Transjordan" because according to our article on Jordan: In 1946, the country gained independence and became officially known as the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Jordan mentioned in the lead is in 1948, so that is already Jordan and not Transjordan. Friendly, Lova Falk (talk) 07:26, 12 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Day Creature (talk) 21:47, 20 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Done I did understand what you meant and I exchanged the old infobox for yours. Lova Falk (talk) 05:07, 21 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
