Year Notations

There should be a year notation added to all year references in the section "Hasmonean period"

This would change the current version of the first paragraph; "In 167, Antiochus IV issued an edict..."

To be this instead; "In 167 BCE, Antiochus IV issued an edict..."

The second paragraph of the current version; "In 164 Antiochus IV (or his son Antiochus V) rescinded the edict..."

To be this instead; "In 164 BCE Antiochus IV (or his son Antiochus V) rescinded the edict..."

The final sentence of the third paragraph of the current version; "...Simon's diplomacy paid off and around 140 Judea was de facto independent."

To be this instead; ""...Simon's diplomacy paid off and around 140 BCE Judea was de facto independent."

And in the fourth paragraph of the current version; "The Seleucid's continued infighting gave Judea free reigns and from 130 it began to conquer its neighbors. Non-Jews in conquered territory were forcibly converted to Judaism, expelled or made to pay tribute.[167] The Edomites became Jewish,[168] and the Samaritan temple at Mount Gerizim was destroyed.[169] By 100, Judea included the entire Palestinian hinterland from the Galilee in the north to the Negev in the south.[170] From 100 to 70 the Hasmoneans conquered many poleis along the coast and in the Transjordan.[171] The warfare and associated plunder made both the Hasmonean kings and Jerusalem's temple institution incredibly rich.[172][lxii]

Emperor Napoleon

"In Fabruary 1799, Emperor Napoleon of France entered Palestine after conquering Egypt..."

This sentence makes it seem like Napoleon was emperor at the time, which he was not of course. I can't edit this because of protection, but it should probably be changed ("The then French general Napoleon" ?). 2A02:A46D:576:0:C816:F34C:F269:FC97 (talk) 21:33, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The name Palestine did not come from the time of the Philistines who dwelled briefly in that region and later vanished from history. Today’s name of Palestine came after The Roman Empire conquered the region and in 6 CE established the province known as Judaea, then in 132 CE in the period of the Bar Kokhba revolt the province was expanded and renamed Syria Palaestina. 122.104.119.81 (talk) 04:31, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 12 October 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at History of Palestine. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Under the last paragraph of the section titled “Ottoman Period”, under subsection “Restoration of Ottoman control” which begins with “The rise of Zionism…”, in the 5th sentence change “This wave of aliyah began in 1881–82 and lasted until 1903,[429] bringing an estimated 25,000[430] Jews to Land of Israel.” to “This wave of aliyah began in 1881–82 and lasted until 1903,[429] bringing an estimated 25,000[430] Jews to Ottoman ruled Palestine.” Because the original lacks citation whereas this was already established as factual in previous paragraphs.

199.7.157.93 (talk) 16:01, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This page suggests that "Palestine" existed prior to the Hebrew/Israelites/Judaism in the Levant area.Such statement is historically wrong because "Palestine" is a derivative term for "Philistines" coined by the Romans.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. LizardJr8 (talk) 05:31, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
