Talk:2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses

Skewed scope[edit]

The article is written badly in my opinion and this is the direct outcome of hastily moving of the page from a highly notable title to a broader but less notable one. Most of the page is dedicated to the developments in the US, while there are ongoing protests occurring theses days across the globe in the university campuses. Every section of the article, including the lead, needs to be modified so it lends due weight to incidents outside the US.--Mhhossein talk 16:30, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Statement[edit]

The statement “Pro-Palestinian and Jewish student protesters at Columbia have insisted the protests are not antisemitic” is not correct or misleading and not neutral at best. Columbia Jewish students have accused the protest of being antisemitic (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/09/nyregion/columbia-university-jewish-students-letter.html#:~:text=A%20group%20of%20Jewish%20Columbia,cannot%20be%20separated%20from%20Israel.”)

Can someone please fix this? 71.179.129.209 (talk) 00:46, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done The reference is to "Pro-Palestinian and Jewish student protesters", which is accurate per RS, it does not reference or represent "Columbia Jewish students", which is a completely difficult subset of individuals. CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 00:52, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t see why this shouldn’t be rephrased as just “Pro-Palestinian student protesters at Columbia have insisted the protests are not antisemitic” because including the word Jewish suggests that most Jewish students on campus think the protests are not antisemitic (a narrative). Indeed, as referenced in the NYT article, many Jews on campus do believe the protests are antisemitic. 71.179.129.209 (talk) 07:57, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because the source clearly states "Jewish student protesters", and the context is very relevant. Including the word Jewish does not suggest a generalisation at all. It's otherwise well documented in the body tunder Antisemitism allegations section that that most Jewish students believe the protests are antisemitic (61% specifically), although this content could be summarised in the lead at this point.

image legend incorrect[edit]

i posted this a few days ago and i see the images have been updated but the legend has not been corrected. the fifth image in the article’s info box, clockwise from top, is mcgill university, not monash university. would edit it myself but i only have ~ 350 edits :( ApplePiePoliceState (talk) 04:29, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The fifth image is Monash, not McGill, as listed in the legend [1]. McGill is the sixth image [2]. Maybe you're missing an image? CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 11:25, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 19 May 2024[edit]

You people have mentioned, "student intifada" in the lead. Please explain it to the readers.-49.205.131.36 (talk) 07:13, 19 May 2024 (UTC) 49.205.131.36 (talk) 07:13, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. we have a footnote there, what specifically are you requesting? Cannolis (talk) 09:44, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is note explaining what intifada means. CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 09:51, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@CommunityNotesContributor: I didn't know till you replied here and I believe other readers will also be wondering what, "intifada" means, so I suggest you add, "pro-Palestinian uprising" in brackets, just after the term, "intifada".-49.205.131.36 (talk) 12:16, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
