  • ... that only one hydroelectric plant was built on the Jordan River, out of fourteen planned by Pinhas Rutenberg (pictured)? Source: Reguer, Sara. “Rutenberg and the Jordan River: A Revolution in Hydro-Electricity” Middle Eastern Studies, vol. 31, no. 4, 1995, pages 692 and 725; "He envisaged using all the water in the area - Litani, Dan, Hasbani, Banias, Yarmuk, and Yabok - to feed fourteen power stations on both sides of the Jordan down to the Dead Sea, into which all the water would flow through parallel canals, east and west, from the southern end of Lake Tiberias to Jericho... Yet as the years passed, progress was slow, and the original plan diminished to one power plant at Jisr al-Mujamieh/Naharayim."

Kept and ready for review. Onceinawhile (talk) 06:44, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
There is several unsolved issues in the article --Shrike (talk) 12:20, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
All fixed now. I would note that Shrike and one other editor have been in disagreement with me and two other editors about the inclusion of a quote in the body of the article from US diplomat Wells Stabler published in the FRUS. Onceinawhile (talk) 16:31, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
Not even remotely "fixed". There are multiple issues with regards to inappropriate use of primary sources , which have been thoroughly explained on the talk page, and met with stonewalling. There is no consensus for the material in the article as it currently stands. JungerMan Chips Ahoy! (talk) 17:03, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
This is the other editor I mentioned. The above comment contains hyperbole. Onceinawhile (talk) 18:05, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
No hyperbole whatsoever, just a factual description of the situation: disputed material with no consensus for inclusion being reintroduced into to the article, and policy-based objections met with stonewalling . This is not ready for DYKs.JungerMan Chips Ahoy! (talk)

  • Full review needed now that sock's objections are moot. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:20, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
  • There are currently RSN discussion about the source [1] so not all problems were solved. --Shrike (talk) 16:24, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

  • @Evrik: thank you for these comments. I will work through them. If you have time I would be grateful if you would comment at the RSN discussion, whichever way you consider appropriate. Onceinawhile (talk) 16:49, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
  • I have just been through the earwig output - I believe all the text it picked up were quotations, and are explicitly stated as such in the article. Onceinawhile (talk) 16:53, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
  • I have started a rename discussion it should be resolved one way or another.I think we can wait another week --Shrike (talk) 17:19, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
  • The rename just closed. This can go forward. --evrik (talk) 04:46, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
  • I just noticed that the image is coming up to its 98th anniversary, so let's run it on June 7! Yoninah (talk) 16:00, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Nice. --evrik (talk) 19:09, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
