Previous Year and Failed COTW Nominations

2008

Failed

Nablus

Nablus has a lot work to be done; Its history section extremely short and quite uninformative. I need sources for the city's history real bad. Its sections on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are larger than the history section combined and is not comprehensive. I want to summarize the sections into one decent-sized section under history.

I got "Demographics", "Government" and "Geography" handled and I will take care of the "Economy" section soon. I'm planning on making an "Education" section and another section (probably with several subsections) on "Culture". After all, Nablus is home to knafe and Nabulsi soap. The article needs to be referenced and copyeditted. There's nothing else wrong with the article except the lead and some minor MoS errors. I really need help on this article. --Al Ameer son (talk) 05:02, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Ramallah

Looking for another success like Bethlehem. The article has the same potential as Bethlehem reference and context wise. I'll make a to-do list on the article's talk page. --Al Ameer son (talk) 02:53, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Khalil al-Wazir

Article has real potential. I've been working on it lately, mostly expanding, referencing and copyediting, but the article seems to lack details in his roles in Palestinian wars and conflicts and military operations. There's also some verification issues, such as his role in the Coastal Road massacre and the majority Israeli view on him. --Al Ameer son (talk) 06:13, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

The article is currently waiting for a GA review so it doesn't have to be nominated any longer. --Al Ameer son (talk) 02:51, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

2007

Bethlehem

Passed!

I nominate Bethlehem for the next COTW. The article has a satisfactory history and recent events section (only missing a few citations), however lacks a demographics (population, religion), economy, transportation, a satisfactory geography and climate section, a government (mayors, municipal structure) and culture section. Some like Christian minority and Attractions would be merged to the appropriate above sections but theres really not much saying its a PNA city. Theres plenty of sources for the above topics and I think with some hard work (not even that hard really) we can make Bethlehem a good article. --Al Ameer son (talk) 05:21, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Support per nom. I guess since no one has voted, I will make it the collaboration of the week. I have already added a satisfactory demographics (population, Christian minority -already existed) section, a satisfactory government section, economy (shopping), and expanded geography and climate. I also added refs to these sections and others. --Al Ameer son (talk) 03:04, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Support per nom. Changed article, old article has been on template since last summer--DieWeisseRose (talk) 05:15, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Note Its been more than a week but I think we should stick with this article because it is improving tremendously. Plus no other nominations have been made. I think in a couple of days, I will nominate for a GA review. Cheers! --Al Ameer son (talk) 16:38, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Binational solution

I nominate Binational solution for the next COTW. The background section has some POV text in it. --DieWeisseRose 21:59, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Support per nom. --DieWeisseRose 04:05, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East

I nominate UNRWA for the week after we do Palestinian Right of Return. It's in a pretty sorry state and it is also a very key article. --Abnn 06:10, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Support. It is in a poor state. --Ian Pitchford 08:06, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Support. --DieWeisseRose 21:53, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

UNRWA is new COTW --DieWeisseRose 22:00, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Palestinian Right of Return

I nominate Palestinian Right of Return for COTW. --DieWeibeRose 09:27, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

• Support. It needs a lot of work and some good sources. --Ian Pitchford 12:14, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Palestinian Right of Return is new COTW. --DieWeibeRose 21:11, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions

I nominate Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions for COTW--DieWeibeRose 21:05, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Okay I'm going to be "bold": BDS wins!--DieWeibeRose 23:41, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
