Talk:Irgun bombing of police headquarters in Haifa

[edit]

This article contains copyright violations. It literally copy and pasted content from Barrel bombs in Israel and Palestine, which I personally wrote. To take one example:

Haifa was one of the great oil ports in the 1940s and standard 55-gallon steel oil drums came into common usage only a few years earlier during WWII; they were first developed by the Axis powers (Germany and Italy) but were quickly adopted by Allies and widely available.

This a word for word copy of content I personally wrote. The entire thing is nothing more than a content fork WP:CFORK of Barrel bombs in Israel and Palestine. -- GreenC 03:10, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What copyright? Wikipedia is CC BY-SA. In my edit summary I noted copied relevant text from Barrel bombs in Israel and Palestine; see that page for attribution. That's sufficient and how we do it here. إيان (talk) 19:06, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccurate and misleading information

[edit]

This article contains inaccurate and misleading information, in Wikivoice. It declares unambigiously that the very first barrel bomb was used in this incident. There is no source that supports that assertion with any authority. See this discussion Talk:Barrel_bomb#First_barrel_bomb. -- GreenC 03:14, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What discussion? There's only one comment there, and it's yours. We can attribute the claim; I have no problem with that. إيان (talk) 19:12, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Image

[edit]

Perhaps this image could be used in the article.

It seems to be a memorial of the attack, though more information and confirmation would be needed.

@Avi1111, do you have any more information about this image? IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 09:09, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The term "memorial" is for victims. This appears to be a historical marker, focusing on the weapon and the attackers. We need to find a full translation. -- GreenC 16:49, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hebrew article

[edit]

This topic is covered in much depth here on hewiki. It's not well sourced unfortunately, and the few sources are Hebrew texts not online. -- GreenC 17:15, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
