[edit]

I got here through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Hebrew_words. "Bimkom" is Hebrew for "in place of". I've never heard of the group the article currently talks about, so, though it probably does exist, it's not well-known enough to be the article's default, the way The United Nations deserve to be the default for UN.

The organization's chosen name is a word, not an acronym or idiom. The logo (seen on the wesite as only a fair use file is available on the Hebrew WP page) indicates the name is "BIMKOM" rather than the alternative vocalization "BAMAKOM" (meaning "in the place"). There needn't be any more read into it as the website describes its activities relating to locales throughout Israel, with a focus on seeking sectorial equity in building and infrastructure policies. -- Deborahjay (talk) 17:22, 18 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Igorp lj, as I said on Talk:House demolition in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict "Furthermore, you did actually use NGO Monitor to dismiss Bimkom here above. Then you went into the article Bimkom and added NGO Monitor's view about them under External links". Would you accept the same but in the opposite way? --IRISZOOM (talk) 00:26, 13 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

"as I said on Talk:House demolition in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict" too:
"Then you went into the article Bimkom" @IRISZOOM - not correct:
Regarding to "a test": so you prefer the article w/out above-mentioned info as well as Bimkom one w/out critics. Isn't it? :( --Igorp_lj (talk) 21:16, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
I try to understand your logic:

Bimkom's web site (erased by IRISZOOM)
BIMKOM, NGO Monitor, August 20, 2014

That is, your version of consensus includes only things that coincide with your POV. Any other ones may be erased without consensus.

I did it per WP:BRD. I see no reason to have a fringe website like NGO Monitor, that you used to dismiss Bimkom, in External links. Again, would you accept the same but in the opposite way? Namely, if someone added a source of the same type to NGO Monitor? --IRISZOOM (talk) 02:25, 15 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Missing information|Critics

[edit]

I have removed the Template "Missing information|Critics" that was initially placed on 14 May 2015. Such content nor the equivalent template aren't included on the source page in the Hebrew Wikipedia, nor does a web search for this matter yield any relevant information. This is possibly a POV issue as the organization has been described as "left-wing" and is critical of Israeli government policy. It would be arguably more constructive at this point to build the page with information about the organization's past and current activity, with citations from the mainstream press and comparable bodies active in the field of intersectional equity in housing and infrastructure. -- Deborahjay (talk) 11:44, 19 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
