"national unity" agreement on 23 July

[edit]

In the events of said date, a ' "national unity" agreement ' is hyperlinked to no article. I believe the article for said agreement is already created, under the title "2024 Beijing Declaration", but I do not qualify for the editing of this article, thus I cannot link it myself.

Mostly relies on single source

[edit]

This article mostly relies upon Al Jazeera, with only a small minority of the references being other sources. We should try to diversify the sources we use in this article. Gödel2200 (talk) 01:49, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why does this timeline not begin with Oct 7?

[edit]

Seems wrong no? 147.161.166.169 (talk) 10:05, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The timeline is split up into several parts, as shown in the top right of the article. This article covers events beginning on 13 July 2024; for the first part of the timeline that starts on 7 Oct. 2023, see Timeline of the Israel–Hamas war (7 October – 27 October 2023).

Proposal to add One Source template

[edit]

Proposal to add One Source template, pending likely discussion on the use of Al Jazeera in this article, as a concerning proportion of references are to Al Jazeera. While Template:One_source says the template "should only be used for encyclopedic content which has a verified, cited source, but only the one source", in practice the template is used also for articles/sections with more than one source that still heavily depend on one source. Placeholderer (talk) 22:19, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be pedantic, the section variant of the template could be used for sections like 8 August that do rely entirely on Al Jazeera, but that would be a lot more work. When the article is a bunch of bullet points, and most bullet points have only a single source, and most of the time that single source is the same (Al Jazeera), I think having the article variant of the template is appropriate Placeholderer (talk) 22:40, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Seems like we need a customized template to say something to the effect of "many of the bullets rely on a single source that does not give a complete picture". See for example these edits

where I added details from other references to the incomplete report from Al Jazeera. The Mountain of Eden (talk) 13:40, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I support the creation of a more specific template, but wouldn't know how to do it myself. I might tweak that phrasing to be "that may not give", though Placeholderer (talk) 17:46, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently the template {{One source}} can be used with customized text. I therefore replaced the {{{POV}} template with the {{One source}} template. Feel free to wordsmith the exact wording. The Mountain of Eden (talk) 18:05, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
