Linking Zikhron Ya'akov to Israeli settlement

The link is misleading - the page "Israeli Settlements" is about (illegal) settlements built by Israel after 1967, in previously Jordanian/Egyptian/Syrian areas. Zikhron Ya'akov was founded in 1882, long before the 1967 war, on lands purchased from Zamarin, and therefore is not an "Israeli settlement" as described in the page linked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.182.10.236 (talk) 10:23, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox format

The infobox uses |author_abbrev_bot=, which has a long display label that is wrapped. However, the output includes extra white-space forcing all the values to the right and unnecessary wrapping of other fields. The example of the template looks fine. Is this something with the template or just this transclusion? Frietjes? MB 14:27, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:MB, I think it's the lack of wide content in the right column. if you look at Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, Alfred Russel Wallace, there is a lot more there. you could force the death-date-and-age to one line by wrapping it in {{nowrap}} here. Frietjes (talk) 14:45, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
OK, no-wrapping dda helped some but I found some other longer fields to add which did more. I guess this is rare but potentially could occur anywhere. Thanks for looking at it. MB 15:41, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Meeting with T E Lawrence

Is there substance to this account?

Aaronsohn left an account of the meeting at which he made them. “This morning I had a conversation with Capt. Lawrence,” he wrote in his diary on 12 August 1917. “An interview without any evidence of friendliness. Lawrence had too much success at too early an age. Has a very high estimation of his own self. He is lecturing me on our colonies, on the spirit of the people, on the feelings of the Arabs, and we would do well in being assimilated by them, by the sons of Arab etc. While listening to him I imagined to be present at the lecture of a Prussian scientific anti-Semite expressing himself in English. I am afraid that many of the archaeologists and reverends have been imbued by ‘l’esprit boche’. He is openly against us.” Shtove (talk) 09:33, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sentence grammar

On his 1906 field trip to Mount Hermon, while trekking around the Upper Galilee in the area of Rashaya in what is now Lebanon,[8][9] The geographical distribution of wild wheats in their historical setting and current context he discovered Triticum dicoccoides, whom he considered to be the "mother of wheat", an important find for agronomists and historians of human civilization.

This sentence appears to be missing some word(s). Why is the word "The" capitalized? Is "The geographical distribution of wild wheats in their historical setting and current context" supposed to be the name of a paper he wrote? If so, I'd suggest to put it in italics and also add a verb to make it a grammatically complete sentence, e.g.

On his 1906 field trip to Mount Hermon, while trekking around the Upper Galilee in the area of Rashaya in what is now Lebanon,[8][9], he studied/wrote The geographical distribution of wild wheats in their historical setting and current context and discovered Triticum dicoccoides

I'd also say that the discovered wheat is an it, not a living being, and thus should be referred to by "which" or "that" instead of "whom".

Triticum dicoccoides, which he considered to be the "mother of wheat"

But I'm not a native English speaker, so I might be wrong. Nakonana (talk) 19:35, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, I found and fixed the mistake regarding "The geographical distribution of wild wheats in their historical setting and current context" — it's the title of the reference [8] that somehow ended up outside the <ref>-tag. Now the sentence is fine (except for the "whom"-part). Nakonana (talk) 19:51, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
