Uri Avnery
I see this has reached a new low in terms of disruptive editing. Uri Avnery, a former Knesset member, newspaper editor, and founder of Gush Shalom is now a random editorial author. This incredibly non-controversial fact that Orlev proposed this bill and it passed its preliminary reading is so easily sourcable that it is demonstrably bad faith editing to remove it. Two seconds of looking for it. It is unreal that people are actively trying to damage our articles, and editing material they have no understanding of. nableezy - 02:44, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
- David Gerard or XOR'easter, well done in degrading an article. Bravo. nableezy - 02:45, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
- If it's so easily source-able, then an opinion column shouldn't be used to source it, regardless of who wrote the column. It's not "degrading an article" to point that out. Your comments here cross the line of talk) 03:58, 25 December 2021 (UTC)]
- Uri Avnery was a newspaper editor and regularly cited and quoted in scholarly works, he is a perfectly usable source for whether or not Orlev sponsored a piece of legislation that passed its preliminary reading in the Knesset. And blanket removal of mundane details that are easily sourceable, and are already sourced to a reliable source, is in fact degrading an article. nableezy - 04:47, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

- No, it is not an opinion whether or not Orlev sponsored a piece of legislation that passed its preliminary reading. That is a matter of established fact. And yes, a newspaper editor and routinely cited and quoted expert on Israeli politics is reliable for that statement of fact. He was not cited for any opinion whatsoever. You still have not returned the pertinent fact to the article, despite knowing it is a verifiable fact. nableezy - 05:14, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

- Ok, I dont really get what youre arguing about here. What viewpoint is given undue weight when discussing Orlev's bill? What viewpoint is not given enough weight? Is there something concrete in what you are arguing here? This is not self-published books, zines, websites, webforums, blogs and tweets, making the latter part of RSOPINION not relevant, and this is not relaying the authors opinion about anything. What exactly are you arguing here? That Orlev did not sponsor a bill calling for the imprisonment of anybody who denies Israel is both Jewish and democratic? That this bill did not pass its preliminary reading? You want more sources? [1], [2], [3]. This is probably the most significant thing Orlev did in his Knesset term. nableezy - 05:40, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
- Some more sources for you to peruse, pick one, any one. [4], [5]. nableezy - 05:45, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
- Opinion columns are bad sources for facts. That's it. If it really was
the most significant thing Orlev did in his Knesset term
, then the text in dispute completely failed to indicate that (as well as failing to indicate who its other prominent supporters were, what opposition it drew, and other such things that the available sources cover [6] and that someone reading about politics would typically expect to learn). Rushing to restore what was there before is the opposite of taking the time to get it right.talk) 05:50, 25 December 2021 (UTC)] - I restored an obvious fact. That you think the source is poor is an opinion you can hold, but in that case look for a better source. And Ive helped you with that, by bringing several sources, including a peer reviewed journal article and a book published by Cambridge University Press. Do you want to keep pretending that Avnery somehow was not accurately relaying the fact you removed from the article? nableezy - 05:59, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

- RSOPINION does not support the idea that an opinion piece by an established expert, and Uri Avnery had been writing about and been cited on Israeli politics for decades up until his death, is not reliable for the facts it presents as fact. Yes, a whole bunch more can be written about this bill. That does not negate that what was written about the bill is factual and completely uncontested. And still not in the article for some reason. I have no intention on edit-warring here. A user removed a source as deprecated, I replaced it with a non-deprecated one. After that same user careless removed it again claiming it was deprecated when it was not, I reverted once. I have no intention of returning this material to the article, one of the people who removed it can do that if they care about the quality of this article. Im done though. nableezy - 07:06, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

- Shrike, if you are unable to read this section to think that is the only source then thats a whole different problem. And Gush Shalom is fine for a BLP. This is not a controversial fact in any way whatsoever. nableezy - 14:23, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

This is now extra silly. Shrike, there are five freaking sources on this page in this section that you have replied to. Unreal. nableezy - 15:33, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
