From the mid-1940s through the 1960s, the Triangle was "the commercial, cultural and economic center of...Jerusalem" - surely we can write this without quotes and paraphrase differently?
the commercial viability of the Triangle deteriorated - erg, if itdid decline, just say so, no need to go on about viability if it was an actuality I think......
Did the old commercial segment(s) of Jaffa Road overlap with what is now the Triangle, or was it in a different bit?
The commercial strip called Jaffa Road extended from the Old City Walls westward, passing the triangle. I made a small change in the article, and will try to see if I can find a source.Yoninah (talk)01:02, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
A standout example is the Sansur building - don't need to mention it is a "standout example" as merely mentioning the building here notes this...let the facts speak for themselves.
I'd not have "(see Ben Yehuda Street bombings)" in body of text but make a seealso note under the header and maybe note how many there'd been or discuss a tiny bit more.
Done I expanded the section and moved theZion Square refrigerator bombing into a sentence. I found only one mention of a memorial, though the next time I go downtown I could look around for other, smaller memorial plaques. There is no increased security presence to my knowledge.Yoninah (talk)21:53, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Landmarks
If many of these won't have independent daughter articles, I'd add a sentence or two to give them some colour and make the section less listy.
I apologize, I've been unable to work on this due to work and family concerns. Expanding the bombing attacks section is going to take some time; I was planning to research that when I expandBen Yehuda Street. The expansion of Landmarks is more minor, but I'm not finding time to do it. Could this be put on hold?Yoninah (talk)15:04, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, happy to leave this open until you get to it - prefer that it gets done right once rather than yo-yoing, so take your time and I will leave this open.Cas Liber (talk·contribs)23:39, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The following discussion is closed.Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
@Yoninah: If the article is good, it does not mean that it makes no sense to merge it to here, and we must share with other colleagues because you are the one who nominated the article So we must achieve neutrality, There are many sentences in the two articles repeated in the same way (The same events, landmarks and history) what do think.--Anass (talk)21:27, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Anass: I'm sorry, I'm not following your logic. The Downtown Triangle is a whole district that includes several sub-districts. It makes no sense to expand and expand this article with all the information for the sub-districts; the article would become too lengthy and would naturally be broken off into sub-articles (seeWP:SPINOFF). I've developed theZion Square article into a GA and intend to expand theBen Yehuda Striée (Jerusalem) article, too.
I have just noticed the transfer of the Israeli narrative only about this region. As long as the area was the main commercial district of the Old City, did not mention any information about this pre-occupation period? Also, the so-called "terrorist" and "suicide" bombings are the characterization of the Zionist media and those who blame it, not our characterization, and what they call terrorism, which we call legitimate defense. Our encyclopedia is not a platform for such talk, which suggests the innocence of the Israelis.
The region is under occupation, which requires "two points of view, not just one." For example, the subject of "buying land in Palestine in general and in Jerusalem in particular" is a controversial issue that is not 100% correct and therefore needs to be mentioned as "Jewish confirmation of its occurrence" and at the same time " The reader is left to search for himself for more information. I hope the picture is clear. thank you.--Anass (talk)11:32, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it's clear that you are peddling the "occupation" narrative. The Downtown Triangle is located in Western Jerusalem, which has never been considered "occupied territory".Yoninah (talk)14:24, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Yoninah: You did not mention anything about the history of the region before the British mandate means how it was in the Ottoman Empire and others and there is no mention of the Palestinians and Their role in the place, was remembered only by their terrorist attacks, as if the Israelis had done nothing--Anass (talk)14:38, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Are you familiar with the history of Western Jerusalem? The area that is now the Downtown Triangle, like other large swaths of land in Jerusalem, was owned by theGreek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem. This is stated in the article. If you can trace it to a Palestinian owner before the Church acquired it, please add a reference.Yoninah (talk)16:35, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi everone, In fact, I think that it is necessary to merge the two articles (this andZion Square) and my colleagues in the Arabic Wikipedia suggested that because, although they are separate areas, but the articles have the same history and the same landmarks, I think that the article Zion Square should be placed as a section in Downtown Triangle (Jerusalem), what do you think about that--Anass (talk)16:59, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Done Good thing I looked at the source again. I edited this section accordingly.Yoninah (talk)21:18, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
