I think that with regard to the Israeli and Palestinian geo templates, it was agreed to use the flag and not a map of the territory since it is POV either way. --Shuki 20:54, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
- I concur and would support a reversion. A Palestinian state is envisioned on both more and less territory than the West Bank and Gaza Strip (not to mention territorial exchange). It is worth noting, though, that the geo-stub is specifically applied to places within those boundaries. TewfikTalk 21:57, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

- If you reworded it, we can also move it. I changed Palestine to PNA. Amoruso 21:38, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Ramallite's edit summary, I'm sure that we can all find an appropriate compromise. We all recognise that while there currently is no political entity called Palestine, this tag is practically going to apply to places in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Surely we can all meet halfway?

This page is protected from moving - please do not move stub templates without first debating such moves. Arguing about the wording of the template is fine, but not moving it. As it is, the current name was debated and this name was decided upon as being the most suitable for it. PNA refers to many things, of which the Palestinian national Authority is but one. PNA, in fact, redirects to a chemical!
- The name is still not appropriate and will have to change once you unprotect. I'm very surprised by Tewfik's edit summary of "a government's territory, like 'geography of Israel,' or 'geography of New Zealand", which would only be accurate were it not called " geography of the Palestinian National Authority". The "Palestinian National Authority", unlike "Israel" and "New Zealand", is not the name of a territory and government, it's the name of a governing authority only. Let's leave aside the fact that it doesn't really govern anything and has no sovereignty over any of the land it 'governs' and actually covers more Area B than Area A and all that. The name of the template now is as utterly ridiculous as saying "Geography of the Government of Israel" or "Geography of the Chamber of Commerce of Toronto". Palestinian National Authority is not the name of a geographic location (unless one reads too much Israeli press, which sometimes uses it as such because they can't bring themselves to call it anything else). Completely unacceptable encyclopedically and grammatically. I think people here are smart enough to come up with something better, hopefully in proper English!

I propose using Palestinian territories for geography stubs of this kind:

I agree with Ramallite that the current text is no good. I suggest splitting this into separate "West_Bank-geo-stub" and "Gaza_Strip-geo-stub" templates, because these are actually well-defined geographical regions with more-or-less agreed-upon borders. -- uriber 18:27, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- {{Editprotected}}. This suggestion is not specific enough for an admin to make the edit. If there is consensus for a split, i suggest first making the new templates, then migrating to them, rather than changing this one. CMummert · talk 20:29, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
