Why are you removing all the Arab language names from those? El_C 23:55, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello? Please don't continue with these unexplained edits while this remains outstanding. El_C 23:59, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey El_C, I only edited the headers of cities in Israel with no Arab population whatsover (for example: Lod and Ramle weren't touched). Also, Arabic as a langauge has been demoted from its official status in Israel last year. See Israel#Notes and read that 2nd note. 79.178.60.217 (talk) 00:00, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hey. Okay, fair enough. I advise you to gain consensus for those changes at some central venue, however. El_C 00:04, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, El_C. Care to restore my work now? Cheers. 79.178.60.217 (talk) 00:06, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, not quite yet. Note that, for example, חדרה on the Hebrew Wikipedia has the Arab name. El_C 00:07, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Basically, I'm just unsure whether you're truly being selective enough. El_C 00:09, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Leftovers from 2018. It's a small city, and as you can see it also has zero Arab population in it. I speak both languages so I am being more than careful and double-checking percentage of Jews/Arabs in each city. 79.178.60.217 (talk) 00:11, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I still think a centralized discussion (maybe at Talk:Israel) would probably be a good idea as far as smooth transitions go. But I will no longer stand in your way. El_C 00:15, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Also, please consider employing edit summaries out of respect for your fellow editors. El_C 00:18, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Will do. 79.178.60.217 (talk) 00:19, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Now that there's been opposition to your mass changes by other editors, my suggestion on gaining consensus for these at a central venue seems even more apt. El_C 17:29, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not opposition. Just unaware editors. That's why I refer them to here. All is well. 79.178.60.217 (talk) 17:33, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Some of these places (like Beersheba) were Arab through most of their history, I totally reject removing the Arab name, Huldra (talk) 22:01, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, your edits are being reverted as we speak, so I'm concerned about an edit war flaring up. El_C 22:03, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
eh, User:El C, which of my edits have been reverted? Huldra (talk) 23:18, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Why are you asking me? Can't you tell for yourself? El_C 23:32, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
