Please change

Please change "In 2007, the American clothing store chain Urban Outfitters stopped selling keffiyehs after “a pro-Israel activist… complained about the items”, and the store also issued a statement that “the company had not intended ‘to imply any sympathy for or support of terrorists or terrorism’ in selling the keffiyehs and was pulling them” to "The keffiyeh print has been many times used in fashion by brands such as Topshop, Asos, Cecilie Copenhagen, Boohoo or the Isreali brand Dodo Bar Or, bringing controversy and debates about cultural appropriation. In 2007, the American clothing store chain Urban Outfitters stopped selling keffiyehs sold under the name of "anti-war scarves" after facing criticism. Urban Outfitters issued the following statement: "Due to the sensitive nature of this item, we will no longer offer it for sale. We apologize if we offended anyone. This was by no means our intention."

Glick opinion piece removed as undue

I removed the short paragraph that was without a link in the ref, but I found it here. I believe it is WP:UNDUE as the mention of keffiyah is a minor point. The entire sentence reads "The fact that the Palestinians don ski masks and keffiyehs rather than brown shirts and swastikas also makes us undervalue the fact that, like the Nazis, the Palestinians are utilizing all their technological know-how and military resources to kill Jews and are making their best efforts to constantly improve and enhance these resources to increase their kill rate." It is not the ski masks and keffiyehs that are the focus of this sentence, and as far as I can see the mention of keffiyehs received no coverage in published, reliable sources. So I removed as too insignificant to bring up in the article. Sjö (talk) 04:27, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

EDIT REQUEST

Hello, there was no Palestinian nationalism so to speak in 1938, but rather a Palestinian Arab nationalism which promoted mainly pan Arabism.

Palestinian keffiyeh (Arabic: كوفية‎, romanized: koofiyyeh) is a chequered black and white scarf that is usually worn around the neck or head. This keffiyeh has become a symbol of Palestinian nationalism, dating back to the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine I want to change this . What means particularly Palestinian doesn't wear anything . It's all upto thier countries Palestine is an Arab country so it wear keffiyah . If it in America they wear face mask .or anything else so please don't spread this type of vandalism

I believe it is possible for this line to be removed

"The company stated they had not intended "to imply any sympathy for or support of terrorists or terrorism"[10] and that offence "was by no means [their] intention".[2]"

There are already links to the statements. Removing this reference would significantly reduce the relevance of this page for queries in Google that are controversial. It would allow other content to surface that addresses the negative connotations more succinctly in a manner not specific to one group's traditional headwear.

The use of specific words has been highlighted by Google Search Liason @dannysullivan as being a factor being taken out of context. [1] AndrzejBroda (talk) 14:18, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

 Note: Added notice to attract attention from editors. @AndrzejBroda: my two cents? This problem is on Google's side, by picking up keywords from this specific quote with a reliable source (The New York Times). This article makes it clear this is the message Urban Outfitters wishes to convey, with specific quotations to back it up. Take this up with Google's support as this is only on their end – alternatives such as DuckDuckGo to not presently show this article under the search of "What do terrorists wear on their heads?". [2] TGHL ↗ 🍁 14:43, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: Given that this statement is subject to some controversy, it would be helpful to establish a consensus here as to whether or not removing the statement is the right choice, especially given that it is sourced. I will side with User:TheGoodAndHolyLord in this case; I believe that the problem stems with Google, and Mr. Sullivan has indicated that his team will look into it. We on Wikipedia can't be entirely responsible for the goings-on at search engines, and reaching out to the search liaison in this case was the correct choice.  A S U K I T E  01:55, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

@TheGoodAndHolyLord and Asukite: The DuckDuckGo search result also includes 2 Wikipedia pages related to keffiyeh DuckDuckGo result screenshot Most of the results seem to be about the controversy caused by this article ranking for multiple search queries, because of the 2 words included within it.

At this time Google doesn't seem to have taken action unless it is removing images. Location, personalization etc play a factor.

You are implying that Urban Outfitters continually want to be associated with selling keffiyeh. From an SEO perspective, it is not necessarily bad to be continually linked to over something you have apologised for, but there is still the brand association. "The company issued an official statement [2]" would be the easiest edit without removing links. There isn't a need for the quotation here.

I am not implying Wikipedia are responsible. I am saying that if Wikipedia has a very easy way to help the situation, editing a single line, then it can help rectify the continual problems. Entities and proximity in relation to links matter a lot to Google. It is why their search results are generally better than other search engines. I am sure there are 1000s of search queries that would be embarrassing for DuckDuckGo, but they are not used by as many people, so less harm caused. I will reach out to someone from Urban Outfitters. Maybe their input would be of benefit.AndrzejBroda (talk) 14:04, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

• This article is full of lies as the Palestinian People are Arab people from the area. There is no seperate culture for them, and they are basically Jordanian, Saudi, Egyptian etc. The poem that appears there is racist and antisemitic. it says "Now these dogs are starting to wear it as a trend". "These dogs" is a clear reference to the Jewish People.

"Production in Palestine"

"Today, this symbol of Palestinian identity is now largely imported from China. With the scarf's growing popularity in the 2000s, Chinese manufacturers entered the market, driving Palestinians out of the business."

The Mother Jones article is basically a double-whammy hit piece on both pro-Palestinian wearers of the keffiyeh and on China, all without citing a single source for their claims. Moreover, the ed concocting the above relies on weasel words (i.e. the non-quantifiable "largely") and blatant POV language like "driving Palestinians out of business", all based on the single source-free article which is basically an anti-Palestinian editorial written by an Israeli. Finally, there is no mention of more recent articles with journalists visiting the Hirbawi factory when all 14 looms were operational.

Can we do better, Ziopedia??? (Or is that Sinophobopedia?) 142.198.135.5 (talk) 01:34, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

The last line wasn't entirely necessary, but you raise some good points, and we can always do better. After all, Wikipedia is based on continuous improvement.

First, per WP:MOTHERJONES, Mother Jones is considered generally reliable for factual information, but is also considered biased, and statements should be attributed. There are some issues though. It doesn't say that all keffiyehs (is that the plural?) are made in China, but the article currently does. That should be fixed, but I'd like to get this discussion sorted first.

It is quite common that imported goods from a country with lower labour costs and high production capacity will tend to reduce the profitability of locally produced goods, causing a decline in local production. Usually this is not complete (i.e. totally driven out of business), but it certainly can be for a country with a developing economy, like Palestine. The origin of those imported goods may not necessarily be China, but here, the reliable source says it is, unless other sources disagree.

"Driving out of business" does seem a bit POV, perhaps "causing a decline in local production" would do better, particularly in light of the next point.

It does say that the last factory is "shutting down" (future tense, anticipative), but if a later source has indicated that it managed to keep open, then it could most certainly be added, as the Mother Jones article only claims that it was in imminent danger of shutting down at the time of publication. It is possible that, by drawing attention to the plight of the industry, journalists (not necessarily MoJo) have caused a resurgence in interest for Palestinian-made keffiyehs.

Not all Israelis are anti-Palestine, and as I read it, the article is primarily critical of the Western consumerism and cultural appropriation that (inevitably) drew competition into the market, causing the ultimate decline of the Palestinian keffiyeh industry. Basically it is a lament that, in trying to show support for/solidarity with Palestine, young Westerners have inadvertently caused the decline of keffiyeh production in Palestine. Another similar critique of the Western use of the keffiyeh comes from The Guardian "The keffiyeh: Symbol of Palestinian struggle falls victim to fashion"

False and incendiary content

I am writing to express my concern regarding the Wikipedia page dedicated to the Palestinian keffiyeh, which I believe contains false information and potentially contributes to the escalation of tensions during this sensitive time of conflict. While Wikipedia is a valuable resource for knowledge dissemination, it is crucial to ensure the accuracy and neutrality of its content. Therefore, I kindly request a thorough review of the page in question, with the possibility of its removal or revision.

My concerns about the page are as follows:

1. Inaccurate Information: The page appears to contain information that is not accurate or objective. It is crucial that Wikipedia maintains a high standard of factual accuracy and neutrality in all its articles.

2. Potential for Tension: The Palestinian keffiyeh is a symbol that holds deep cultural and political significance for many people. Misinformation or biased content about such a symbol can lead to increased tensions and misunderstandings.

3. Violation of Wikipedia Policies: Wikipedia has established policies and guidelines to ensure the quality and neutrality of its content. This page should be reviewed for violation of these policies, and potentially removed.

I urge the Wikipedia community to conduct a thorough review of the Palestinian keffiyeh page to determine whether it meets Wikipedia's content standards and guidelines. If the page is found to be spreading false information or promoting hate, I kindly request that appropriate actions be taken, which may include revising or removing the page.

Thank you for your commitment to maintaining the integrity and credibility of Wikipedia as a valuable source of information. I trust that you will give due consideration to this request and take any necessary steps to address the concerns raised. HawariMumin (talk) 05:44, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

The Urban Outfitters quote and comparing it to what's in other news sources

So, noticing which publication we're citing, I went searching for other sources about the Urban Outfitters issue, to see who else covered it and what they said. I found this 2007 article from the New York Times.

On the one hand, the story says this about pulling the garment: "Its Web site posted this explanation: 'Due to the sensitive nature of this item, we will no longer offer it for sale. We apologize if we offended anyone, this was by no means our intention.' A spokeswoman for the store, which has 95 branches nationwide, declined to comment further."

On the other hand, the article also includes this: "Many in the Jewish community, in particular, object to people wearing the scarf as a fashion statement. 'Because there are people who wear the kaffiyeh as a sign of solidarity with Palestinians, some people view it as an endorsement of terrorism,' said Mik Moore, chairman of the board of directors for the Jewish Student Press Service, an independent nonprofit organization." It also said this in describing what led to UO pulling the item: "A blogger named Mobius, posting Jan. 16 on Jewschool, a Jewish blog that targets a young audience, blasted Urban Outfitters for selling kaffiyehs. Taking issue with the retailer’s decision to label the item an 'anti-war woven scarf,' Mobius posted pictures of terrorists adorned in kaffiyehs."

So, even if we change the UO quote, there is still sourced material—and from the New York Times, a solidly-reliable source—to provide a link between the keffiyeh and terrorism in the perception of at least the Jewish community. —C.Fred (talk) 11:42, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

"Because there are people who wear the kaffiyeh as a sign of solidarity with Palestinians, some people view it as an endorsement of terrorism" ... hmm, those "some people" would be called racists.

This information is totally unacceptable. It is highlighting the whole Arabs over 1.5 Billion humans to be terrorists. This face cover was never meant or intended to be a symbol of terrorism. People can be dressing suites and be war criminals and terrorists. People can wear army outfits and be terrorists. Koufeya is a traditional head and face cover used in the Middle Eastern states even in Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Yemen, Oman, as part of the traditional outfit that helps to protect users from direst sunlight and sand storms difficulty to breath, beside it is useful for people doing outdoor activities as farmers, shepherds, labor, builders, safari adventures, and variety of direct sunlight activities. Also used to keep the head, ears, and neck warm during cold time in winter. Also North African states and tribes of Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, Sudan, and other African countries use the Koufeya for out door activities and perfect preventative measures during sand storms. So this title as Palestinian terrorist style is highly disturbing and an unethical and deceiving information.
