Talk:Arava Institute for Environmental Studies

Untitled
I started this article based on published materials from the Arava Institute, and on my own visit to Ketura in May 2003, when I was a participant in the Israel Ride, a fundraiser sponsored by the Arava Institute. --Metzenberg 00:31, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment on edits that seem to come from Ketura/Arava Institute
My guess is that the last editor came from the firewall IP of a shared connection used by students of the Arava Institute. Students can be sophomores, at least when they are not yet juniors, and sophomores can be sophomoric. The IP address has been blocked in the past for disruptive editing.

While I appreciate that someone was trying in some way to improve the article on the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies, what Wikipedia needs is sourced information, not more personal opinions. For many months this article has been tagged as unsourced. Although I started this article, I feel it is on the edge of being just a PR piece, and is not really up to neutral encyclopedia standards. I'm going to revert your additions. If you want to contribute to Wikipedia, please get yourself a Wikipedia login and do the hard work of tracking down verifiable sources. Start by going to David L_____ and asking him to supply you with copies of press clippings, since many articles have been written about the Arava Institute, especially in Hebrew. If the Arava Institute is "the leading ..." then you should supply a quotation from someone noteworthy or from a published source to back that up.
