Overall, I thought the article and the additions were very straight forward and informative. I liked how the article started with the etymology and historical background. This made for an easy transition into the formation of the movement and its goals. I also really liked how the goals of the movement were explicitly stated.

I had a couple questions about the agricultural conditions that made in difficult to farm Palestine.

Had Palestine traditionally been successful for farming? Or was there a drought that made it difficult?

I know you mention the aspect about the agricultural education of the Jewish imigrants.

Had the immigrants been farmers in Russia or had they worked other jobs? And did the differences in farming practices in Russia and Palestine have anything to do with the unsuccessful agriculture in Palestine?

Another question I had was about the lack of funding after their immigration into Palestine.

I know you mention a reason of the downfall was lack of financial means. Why weren't they able to receive any more funding or support?

I did think the downfall was a little unclear to me. I'm not sure how much these questions will help with the formation of the article, but they were just questions that came to my mind when reading.
