== Occupied/Disputed Territories ==

Hi, Casliber

I wonder whether it will be possible to add the "Occupied Territories" v "Disputed Territory" terminology dispute to existing Arbcom measure requiring a decision to be reached on the use of "Judea and Samaria" etc. at IPCOLL. Or whetehr you have any other suggestion on how to create a strongly mandated solution that reflects WIkipedia policy.

You may have noticed that I tried to put a proposal forward at IPCOLL but that the level of participation in discussion on that is very low. I feel it needs a centralised discussion as there is a long running dispute at [[Talk:Israel]] on this matter. Meanwhile at [[Golan Heights]] there has been an RFC which, to my mind, reached an unsatisfactory conclusion where the "occupied territories" terminology used by the UN and the vast majority of the world including Israeli allies such as the US and UK has been placed on a par with "disputed territories" as used only by the right wing of Zionism. The closing admin there has since been accused of bias given their user page having boxes showing support for Israel. I certainly wish to escalate what I regard as a very poor decision that fails to reflect [[WP:NPOV]]'s guidance on hwo to handle matters where the vast majority of sources side one way.

So could you make suggestions on how to deal with this, thanks?--[[User:Peter cohen|Peter cohen]] ([[User talk:Peter cohen|talk]]) 12:46, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
