Talk:Reuven Rivlin

Rivlin's marriage(s)

On-line genealogy sites note that Rivlin is divorced and has a child or children from a previous marriage. Nechama is apparently his second wife. But I cannot find any reliable English language references that say if he was previously married. Is this something that could be checked on the Hebrew language version of his bio?

Rivlin's country of birth

I noticed that someone had changed Rivlin's place and country of birth to "Jerusalem, Israel". This is anachronistic, as Israel didn't exist when he was born - Jerusalem was in Mandatory Palestine at the time. The place of birth field in Wikipedia articles refers to the territory in which the place of birth was at the time of the person's birth - thus, for instance, Shimon Peres is listed as being born in "Wiszniew, Poland", as it was at the time, not Vishnyeva, Belarus, as it is now.

Rivlin's country of birth

Rivlin is the president of Israel and his place of birth is Jerusalem Israel. The change to "Jerusalem" was clearly from political or Anti-Semitism reasons. This means that Wikipedia isn't an objective source of information. Efimisha (talk) 04:53, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

In this case it is not Anti-Semitism. Isreal as a country only existed nine years years after he was born so he clearly was not born in a then non-existant country. Falsely claiming that he was is what would would be truely non-objective. Also, the article for George Washington does not claim that born in the then nonexistent United Stares of America either and I higly doubt that was due to anti-American sentiment.--70.27.229.11 (talk) 05:39, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

In the first sentence, please replace "politician and lawyer serving as the 10th" with "politician and lawyer who has served as the 10th" because the gerund sounds awkward, almost like a gerundive that doesn't really fit in English. 208.95.51.53 (talk) 13:21, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

"Hack"

I have to ask, did this happen as described in the article? [1]. Or did they get some detail wrong? I can't see it in the history. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:20, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

The "hack" was vandalism to President of Israel associated wikidata. Rami R 15:26, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Ah, that checks out. Thanks! Anything Wikidata that is visible in an article is reasonable to describe as in the article, so IMO the story is correct enough. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:56, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Since Emily Zanotti's coverage for The Daily Wire has been added to the bannerspace of this Talk page, I'd like to note for the record a falsehood therein. She claims that Wikidata "shows that 'The Arab Man' made the change around 11:00am on Saturday. Wikipedia deleted the vandalism sometime Saturday afternoon…."

In fact, Wikidata diffs here and here show that the vandalism remained online for 1 day, 14 hours, 55 minutes.

What none of the news stories I've seen have reported is precisely when Apple's virtual assistant Siri began spreading that vandalism. Accordingly, this incident is being portrayed in the media as essentially no big deal because the misinformation was quickly corrected. That is by no means clear.

"Greater Israel"

Reuvin does not support a one-state solution. https://www.timesofisrael.com/rivlin-confederation-with-palestinians-may-be-momentous-opportunity-for-peace/ He wants a unified state, not "greater Israel"

Incorrect year in first sentence of article.
