Comment: No changes since previous submission, where WP:TENDENTIOUS was called out. This is the end of the line. UtherSRG (talk) 13:56, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Not one reference actually mentions, by name 'Israel's Lookout'. To pass WP:GNG, there needs to be in-depth coverage in reliable sources of the topic, which must include the articles title. False and misleading reference titles that were removed (the references also did not have any in-depth coverage anyway) as it violated Wikipedia's terms of use were actually reinstated despite warnings. Further resubmissions without addressing issues may be considered as WP:TENDENTIOUS David.moreno72 12:24, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: Copying part of my reply to the author on my talk page:Looking for the other terms you mentioned there's more::# [1] does say "Arik's Porch":# [2] doesn't include "lookout", "bench" or "porch" as far as Chrome can see. :# [3] does say "the porch of the nation":# [4] does say "the back porch of the nation" (albeit referring to Peduel, not obviously to the vista point):# [5] does say "porch":Which of the sources talk about "Israel's lookout" verbatim? If it's more commonly the "porch of the nation" or similar, might the article be better titled that way? Mortee (talk) 00:26, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: per previous comment. The reference titles don't match the actual headlines. If this is not corrected the draft must be deleted for violating Wikipedia's terms of use, 'posting content that is false or inaccurate' David.moreno72 23:59, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: The sources don't refer to "Israel's Lookout". The first three IRN articles listed here as mentioning it in the headline are actually "My Solidarity Visit to "the Settlements"", "The "Small Settlements" are Essential for Peace" and "Deputy FM bans Swedish officials from visiting Israel". The only news result I get on Google is one of this page's own images: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q="israel%27s+lookout"&tbm=nws. Mortee (talk) 03:04, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: Can you fix the images, the lede photo is a bit too much and there are too many images relative to the text SeraphWiki (talk) 00:03, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: No mention of subject in reference. Please read WP:REFB for how references are to be used. David.moreno72 01:19, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
Overview edit
Israel's Lookout (alternatively named as Israel's Balcony, Israel's Porch, Arik's Porch or Porch of the Nation) is a vista point on the western slopes of the Samarian mountain range, near the town of Pe'duel.[1]. Israel’s Lookout offers a panoramic view of most of Israel’s Mediterranean Sea coastline - from Ashkelon in the south, through the Tel-Aviv metropolitan in the center and up to Haifa in the north - covering 75% of Israel’s population[2]
Details edit
The lookout is situated about 7 miles east of the Tel-Aviv metropolitan area and the Ben-Gurion international airport. The lookout was named by Israel's late Prime Minister Ariel Sharon who would visit the place with influential members of the international community in order to demonstrate to them its strategic importance for Israel's security. Sharon would bring leaders such as President George Bush to the vista point to show the view of Ben-Gurion Airport, the Gush Dan area around Tel Aviv and the Mediterranean coastal plain naming it "Israel's Front Porch" to illustrate its strategic location.[3][4]. Nowadays, the site is known as "Israel's Lookout" and local and international public opinion influentials still visit the site on a regular basis[5][6][7][8][9][10]. The site includes a lookout pavillion with long range peer binoculars. A short walking path leads from the lookout to the nearby massive Roman fortress of Deir Kala, built by the Emperor Justinian I in the year 545 A.D.[11]
Israel's Lookout attracts annualy tens of thousands of visitors during holidays[12][13][14] and throughout the year[15].
