Title box undercounts the number of Israeli war casualties. Should be 6,373
The title box undersestimates the number of dead (6074) by adding together 4074 soldiers with 2000 civilians, however the reference cited (Ground Warfare: An International Encyclopedia, Volume 1) writes "Civilians more than 2,000". Further down in this Wikipedia article, the number of civilians is given (more accurately) as 6,373, citing the following reference. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/military-casualties-in-arab-israeli-wars The breakdown is cited as 4000 soldiers and 2000 civilians. https://books.google.co.il/books?id=_3pZDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT2282&lpg=PT2282&dq=1948+war+2,373+jewish+civilians&source=bl&ots=ZrZAwicyHG&sig=ACfU3U33EQpW1NTHi9QxTIyweolTpx5gqQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjtsr6V68vmAhXRaFAKHW0DD54Q6AEwCXoECAYQAQ#v=onepage&q=1948%20war%202%2C373%20jewish%20civilians&f=false   Jacob D (talk) 13:09, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Jacob D

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Canaan Dog, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. William Harris (talk) 21:42, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Excuse me, I made no changes to the text as it appears in the article, only to the link destination (Palestine region rather than Palestinian people). The original format isn't justified by the reference supplied, which gives no indication that the term "Palestinian" in "Palestinian pariah dog" is a reference to people rather than region. To remove doubts or controversy over the matter, the link should simply be removed without changing any meaning to the text.

Merge Request
Hi, Jacob D. There is currently a discussion on whether or nor King's Garden (Jerusalem) should be merged with Silwan. Can you please interject your opinion there?-- Davidbena (talk) 18:00, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Transcontinental country
No editor can remove a statement that is supported by its own WP link, transcontinental country, listing the U.S. as one of the countries and showing it on a world map. You must go to the link's Talk page and make an argument that this existing WP article is wrong and should be revised, if not removed. Mason.Jones (talk) 16:12, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
