Talk:Fuad Shukr

Which romanization to use?

Romanizations used by sources include Fu'ad Shukr, Fuad Shukr, or Fuad Sukar. I presume Fouad Shuker might also have been used, although I haven't seen it yet. Which one should be used? Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 17:43, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

The Israel Defense Forces confirms that top Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Lebanese capital of Beirut earlier this evening. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/idf-says-senior-hezbollah-commander-fuad-shukr-was-killed-in-beirut-airstrike/ Ksperber (talk) 21:12, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

1RR violation

@Foxhound45: This edit is a violation on the 1 revert rule in place on the Israel-Palestine topic area. Please self-revert and remain civil. Nythar (💬-🍀) 22:05, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

@Nythar Nowhere in the article does it say anything about a 1 revert rule. Also, I wasn't trying to start an edit war. It's notable that Israel quickly confirmed Shuker's death while still remaining undecided about Mohammed Deif. If you want to believe Hezbollah over Israel, that's your choice.

There is a notice now. In any case (with or without a edit-notice): this article is clearly under 1 RR, Huldra (talk) 23:59, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

@Foxhound45: It isn't up to me to decide who is more reliable than the other. I reverted your edit solely because unconfirmed statements (yes, even those made by Israeli government officials) cannot be taken at face value. We should wait a few hours until the claim that he died is confirmed (or refuted). Additionally, this article belongs to the WP:ARBPIA topic area, and all articles in this topic area are subject to 1RR restrictions (there should be a notice on top of this talk page but there isn't unfortunately).

Hezbollah confirmed he was in the building and search for his body is underway. His demise could be confirmed in a few hours.--160.78.149.30 (talk) 06:26, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
