Developing Countries WikiContest
Starting this July, we will see a new contest on the scene - the Developing Countries WikiContest (WP:DCWC)! Think of it as a WikiCup but only for articles and media on developing countries.

Competitors may submit GAs, GTs, FAs, FTs, FLs, FPs, and DYK and ITN entries from/on developing countries to gain points and proceed to further rounds. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs.

Palestine is listed as a developing country for the purposes of this contest, so articles related to it are eligible to be submitted for points. I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content!

Append your name to the DCWC signup page today!

Anyone speak Arabic?
Hi, there's a new editor that's been waiting more than a week for someone to deal with their edit request over at Talk:Omar Ferwana, a Palestinian doctor.

Requesting assistance editing Ohio State University protest article.
I recently created an article detailing the college protests at Ohio State University. After this article was made extended-protected, I lost my ability to edit the article because I do not have EP permissions. Substantial details are missing from this article, so until I regain my permissions, I have been adding suggestions to the talk page of this article. But no one has been implementing my suggestions on the talk page, despite the fact they are supported by multiple sources and add significant missing details from the article.

If members of this community could please visit the talk page of this article and implement my requested changes, this would be deeply appreciated. Thank you!

Feedback: Regional history of the Negev
Hi, User:Alaexis has asked me to draft something on the agricultural history of the Negev. Since there is no comprehensive history of the Negev that would have been necessary for this (and since the short sections on the history on the Negev page do not align with current research), I have now drafted a regional history of the Negev with a stronger focus on land use. Alexis thinks the page is ready for promotion to the mainspace. I am unsure for two reasons which are noted on the draft page. Would anyone like to give some feedback on this?

Template:WikiProject Palestine
Should we use the unrelated image of a peasent family in Ramallah, or the flag of palestine, or a watermelon? Thoughts? 48JCL 23:05, 1 July 2024 (UTC)


 * The family is hard to recognise as Palestinian, and a flag isn’t ideal. A symbol would be good, e.g. as in Template:WikiProject Japan or Template:WikiProject Canada. The watermelon works well, as it is related to the flag, but also brings some creativity. Onceinawhile (talk) 07:38, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Seconding the watermelon. That was my favorite thing to see on WikiProject Palestine.  Kinsio  (talk ★ contribs ★ rights) 15:29, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Kinsio and Onceinawhile thank you for your opinions. The WikiProject banner has been changed to resemble the palestinian symbol. 48JCL 19:56, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I don’t support the watermelon; it makes no sense if you’re not already invested in Palestinian politics and is kind of deliberately obtuse (reminiscent of Vivian James or the iconography of the Boogaloo movement). There is nothing wrong with a flag (Wp:India uses a flag) especially when it’s an instantly recognizable and unambiguous symbol of the country; a cartoon watermelon might as well represent Wp:agriculture or wp:plants Dronebogus (talk) 23:41, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
