Minor edir request
[edit]Hello - would someone with editing access change the opening sentenc to the history section. This from 'From 1517 through 1917, the area now known ..' to 'From 1517 to 1917, the area now known ..' The reason is 'through' in this context is minor use, which is just one country. The use of 'to' in this context is near universal. The article does not require the use of a niche English language. Thank you. 93.216.106.183 (talk) 17:49, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Danke. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.216.106.183 (talk) 19:55, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

While the West Bank territory did not first emerge in the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, the name "West Bank" did emerge as a term in the wake of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, as being on the West Bank of the Jordain River. The West Bank Territory is the historical and biblical name for the central region of Israel, bordered by Judea to the south and Galilee to the north.

Change from:
The remainder are Christian (mostly Greek Orthodox) and others.
To:
The remainder are 1–2.5% Christian (mostly Greek Orthodox), and others.
It's mentioned in the existing ref there. galenIgh 21:43, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
Question: don't you think that the readers are capable of working it out all by themselves? M.Bitton (talk) 18:46, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- No.
- I was looking for that info, searching on and reading Wikipedia. Took a while to find it by general web searching which lead me to that external site. Then I realized it's a linked reference in this Wikipedia article.
- In theory people don't need any text in articles, and each Wikipedia page can be just a set of external links. But it's customary to have some prose and to summarize relevant information. galenIgh 22:59, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Done: This is a helpful clarification to make because if readers are left to their own devices, they may conclude from the data originally presented in the article that it is up to 8% Christian which vastly differs from what is stated in the source. Left guide (talk) 05:51, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

The text suggests that Basque is a Romance language. It is not. Luisperezcamacho (talk) 12:54, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
Not done: I don't believe that it does. The text refers to Romance languages, including x,y,and z, and some others, including a, b, and c. To me, that reads as "others" means "other languages that are not Romance languages. PianoDan (talk) 20:38, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
Israeli POV
[edit]While we should indeed mention the Israeli narrative, things have changed a bit with the 2024 ICJ ruling. Essentially the court has ruled that all these reasons for holding on to the West Bank are without any legal foundation. Before, this was subject of debate but that debate is over for all practical purposes so it needs to be clarified somehow. Selfstudier (talk) 14:59, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Add the Hebrew name of this area please "Judea and Samaria"
[edit]It is missing, and it very important part about this area 147.235.196.127 (talk) 19:40, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- Not done. See WP:WESTBANK. Selfstudier (talk) 20:49, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
