Result: Not much uncited material, but enough to fail criterion 2. A committed editor could probably get this back to GA status with ease. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:14, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A GA from 2008. There is some uncited material that needs to be addressed. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:22, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

SFN errors

The scripts only spot errors when templates are used. (I have them installed.) I added the template to the erisiting SFNs which reported the error. (I did not add the SFNs and the source cite was already missing.) I did not find the appropriate source cite searching Wikipedia articles. I noted this in the edit comment. Yes, this added another article to 9,500+ articles with a no-tartget error. However, it did accomplish my goal: error was fixed. User-duck (talk) 01:29, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mount Carmel reference

Mount Carmel should be directly linked to in the first section of the page on Haifa, quite obviously! And the rest of the mentions of it on the page should likewise be links. A quality of life thing, but also to reflect its relative importance to the city in so many ways. Arrrmand (talk) 15:11, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MOS advises against linking every instance (MOS:DUPLINK), but you're certainly right it should be linked in the first section, and I added a couple of links in prominent locations following that. CMD (talk) 02:11, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[χeˈfa]

to

[χejˈfa] / [ˈχajfa]

to reflect the actual pronunciations. SuzieMillen (talk) 05:17, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In general it's pronounced [ˈχajfa] in Hebrew also. Listen to this on the Israeli government's tourism channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWvp4zS6zzE GordonGlottal (talk) 15:27, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
