"Murderer"?
How the heck does an Education Minister get politically accused of being a "murderer"? (See Mercaz HaRav massacre; that article has the incident I'm talking about.) Isn't an education minister supposed to regulate, well, education? Isn't security the job of someone specializing in security or something? So what's the point of calling an education minister a "murderer"? &mdash; Rickyrab | Talk 23:19, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Name
Tamir publishes under the name "Yael", which the article says was her given name at birth. Why is she now known as "Yuli"? If that is her nickname or the equivalent, it should not be the title of the article. – SJL 04:56, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The Israeli government lists "Yael" as her proper name, and "Yuli" in brackets, indicating that she goes by with acquiantences. I'm going to change the name of the article to "Yael Tamir", and "Yuli Tamir" will redirect there. – SJL 05:00, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

I moved the article last night, but User:Rami R reverted the move, citing WP:COMMONNAME. I'm not convinced that this is consistent with that guideline, however, because even if it is the case that Tamir is generally known as "Yuli" to the Israeli public, most people in the English-speaking world know her by "Yael", which is the name that she publishes under, and her academic work is the primary reason for her notability outside of Israel. – SJL 15:13, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * A google search reveals that even in english "Yuli" is the common name: "Yuli Tamir" gets 32800 ghits, while "Yael Tamir" gets 8200 ("Yael Yuli Tamir" gets 221 ghits). Further more, Tamir's Knesset page lists her as "Yuli Tamir".  Rami R  15:34, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Fair enough, but can you explain why none of her publications use that name? – SJL 16:03, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * no.  Rami R  20:01, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

'Multiculturalism'
That last paragraph implies that Tamir supports (or at least does not support opposition to) clitoridectomy, which is far from the truth.
