Reconciling the two sets of coordinates
Greetings and felicitations. There are two sets of coordinates for the event (I just moved the second into the infobox), and I'm not familiar enough with the incident or terrain to reconcile them. Would someone please be so kind, or help me do so? —DocWatson42 (talk) 06:43, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hopefully fixed. Zerotalk 01:56, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you. ^_^ I just combined the two templates, but infobox isn't displaying the coordinates inline in any of my three browsers. —DocWatson42 (talk) 02:42, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Some misplaced or omitted footnotes
'Arafat Baya’at, for one, is reported as having been shot dead by Israeli troops outside the hospital when he picked up a stone to throw at soldiers after seeing a friend of his being carried out of an ambulance.'

The article cited as a source for the sentence does not seem to contain any information about Arafat Baya’at. It just confirms the overall picture as presented by the previous sentence ('... Israeli soldiers who continued to shoot at those who were trying to flee the mosque, at those who were evacuating the wounded, and at people who were rioting at the Ahli hospital'), so it might perhaps be more appropriately used as a source for it. However, that sentence is already attributed in the Wiki text to Tikva-Honig Parnass, whereas the linked article neither mentions nor is authored by Tikva-Honig Parnass. At the same time, the previous sentence contains no footnote or proper reference to the text where Tikva-Honig Parnass wrote that, nor is a text by that author present in the bibliography. Overall, there seems to be some confusion with the sourcing in this bit.

That said, I actually wanted to see the original article for more context because I didn't understand why Baya’at's friend was being 'carried out of an ambulance'. Was he being arrested, rejected as a patient or something else? If the/a real source is found, that should probably be explained, too. 62.73.69.121 (talk) 13:37, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Should section "Veneration of Goldstein" mention Itamar Ben-Gvir?
It's an accepted fact that the current minister of national security of Israel, Itamar Ben-Gvir, previously hung a portrait of Goldstein inside his house. It is in the 2nd paragraph of Ben-Gvir's own Wikipedia page. It seems to me a good example of veneration that is worth mentioning. BenwayPHD (talk) 06:28, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

50-70 casualties
in the article it's mentioned that Palastinians "count people who died outside the mosque and people who died of their wounds." Excuse me? This is how we count casualties for all other killings, not some "silly thing Palastinians do" as the article is suggesting. The 50-70 casualty count must be mentioned in the article or this article must immediate be struck as being biased. 75.118.12.202 (talk) 10:49, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Have a look at WP:EDITXY for the best way to suggest changes. You don't need to include your review of the content. What matters is whether the content reflects the reliable source cited. Given that the source says the following, perhaps you could suggest a specific change that better reflects that source and any other sources you would like to bring.
 * "Locals estimate the final number of deaths at between 50 and 70 – and an estimated 250 were injured over the course of the day. After the initial attack inside the mosque, more Palestinians were killed by the Israeli army during protests outside the mosque, outside Hebron’s Ahli hospital, and even in the local cemetery as the dead were being buried."
 * In the meantime, I have changed it to - In an article commemorating the event's 20th anniversary, Al Jazeera reported that local Palestinians estimated the total number of deaths to be between 50 and 70, with an additional 250 people injured that day.
