Concerns

 * History
 * Jewish Colonization Association – let's link this

 * I am amazed that all of the "largest demonstrations" were reportedly 100,000 or near that in size. That be so, perhaps we could reword the sentence to something like: The largest demonstrations in the square included a May 2000 protest decrying the handover of Arab settlements adjacent to the Mount of Olives, a November 2000 protest against Ehud Barak's "policy of restraint" at the beginning of the Second Intifada, and a 2006 protest against the policies of acting prime minister Ehud Olmert, all of which drew around an estimated 100,000 people.
 * ✅ Thanks, that's nice. Yoninah (talk)
 * Under "Terrorist attacks": consider linking incendiary device. I wouldn't quite call it a common term and the concept I found interesting.

 * On July 4, 1975, ... killing 15 and wounding 77 – I found that the second provided reference (haaretz.com) supported all the claims in this sentence. The print source contains a broken link to Google Books. Up to you whether you want to ditch that source altogether, but if not you should remove or repair the link.
 * ✅ I removed all the dead links here and elsewhere. Yoninah (talk)
 * Last sentence under "Terrorist attacks", The Jerusalem Post source link is dead. Again, the other two references seem to support the sentence, as far as I can tell.

 * Landmarks
 * Last sentence first paragraph: We should link "Old City"

This article was an excellent read. Beautiful, flowing prose, to say the least! I have zero doubt this will be a good article. Let me know what you think of the above concerns and we'll move forward with the promotion. &mdash;  MusikAnimal talk 04:31, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
