This bank is operating in occupied territories, this cat is perfectly suited for the article: --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 22:11, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

The category is about to be deleted. You created it in the middle of the deletion process of an identical category with two words rearranged. That category is gone. This one will follow. Stop causing drama at this article. Breein1007 (talk) 22:15, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Why it not legitimate category? What wrong with it? It state truth and no more. Be there some thing editors not want whole world to see, is that editors want it be delete?? Ani medjool (talk) 22:18, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

I have been asked not to respond to your comments anymore in the way that my natural instincts tell me to respond. So rather than giving anybody anything more to use against me, I'm just going to smile. :) Breein1007 (talk) 22:20, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

So if you choose not state why it not valid, then is because WP:IDONTLIKEIT? This not reason to delete category. Ani medjool (talk)

WP:IDONTLIKEIT? Not quite. Close though. :) I have made it very clear why this category is inappropriate and that it was created in bad faith. And now I will be leaving, because this is a waste of my time. No point for this drama; the category is going to be deleted soon anyway. Breein1007 (talk) 22:28, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

not so sure yet. Only anti-palestine editor speak so far. Maybe other view different and see need for category. Ani medjool (talk)

Copywrite

Hello Diannaa is this articale and particularly the images in compliance with copyright Flamingoflorida (talk) 18:44, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

• The logo File:DiscountBank.svg is simple enough to not enjoy copyright protection. The other two logos are tagged as fair use, but I don't think they actually meet the threshold of originality to enjoy copyright protection either.
• File:PikiWiki Israel 6263 Tel - Aviv at night.JPG in the infobox has been here since 2009 and does not appear to have any copyright issues.
• File:Idb-nyc.jpg has been here since 2008 and does not appear to have any copyright issues.
• Checking the prose, I found nothing untoward, but I am unable to state for sure there's no issues, since the prose could have been translated from copyright sources in Hebrew. I have no way of checking for that kind of problem. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:54, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

This text wasnt generated by AI at all! @Day Creature עומר תשבי (talk) 18:20, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

I find that extremely unlikely, as it displays multiple signs of AI writing, including overuse of boldface, inline-header vertical lists, and markdown formatting, as well as the use of Template:request edit instead of Template:edit COI. Wikipedia editors are highly experienced in spotting these signs of AI use and will almost always be able to detect it. Day Creature (talk) 19:20, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

Though you find it unlikely, I created the list of additions/revision in a back-and-forth process with my client. All of of the requested changes are backed by supporting sources. Why not just review them as they are? @Day Creature עומר תשבי (talk) 05:53, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

• Your edit request could not be reviewed because the provided references are not formatted correctly. The citation style predominantly used by the Israel Discount Bank article is Citation Style 1 (CS1). The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's. Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, CS1. (See WP:CITEVAR.) In the extended section below titled Citation style, I have illustrated two examples: one showing how the edit request was submitted, and another showing how requests should be submitted in the future:

Citation style

Bare URL reference formatting:

1. https://www.booksource.com
2. http://www.journalsource.com
3. http://www.websource.com

In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the Israel Discount Bank article. Using that style, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following:

Citation Style 1 formatting:

Which displays as:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.

In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc., all information which is lost when only the links are provided. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such as yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review.

• Kindly submit a new, properly formatted edit request below this reply post at your earliest convenience, taking care to ensure that it makes use of CS1. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor.
