overtures to right wing american evangelicals[edit]

this book https://fivebooks.com/book/road-armageddon-how-evangelicals-became-israels-best-friend-by-timothy-p-weber/ has a history of American evangelicals and their relation to Israel; it details how Begin and other Israeli leaders made great efforts to be friends to people like Jerry Falwell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Falwell who might well be considered to be ultra right wing here in the US

Use his Hebrew wikipedia page to expand it[edit]

I am an Israeli and I speak hebrew, and as I was researching on Menachem Begin and several other Israeli Prime Ministers I realized that, while the English wikipedia (at least for Begin and Netanyahu) is detailed, in general there is a very large inequality between the pages in both languages. I think a rework of the wikipedia pages for Israeli Prime Ministers in English needs to be done so they can be more informative. I'm willing to help even VizoDaniel (talk) 07:14, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also think that he could use an Electoral History section VizoDaniel (talk) 07:21, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Content from the Hebrew language Wikipedia can be translated and then pasted into the English language Wikipedia - along with references (which can be in Hebrew). The edit summary for such an addition will need to state that content was copied from the Hebrew Wikipedia. David notMD (talk) 17:21, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will gladly do it, I just don’t think I have editing access 2A01:73C0:600:6715:27:4480:C36D:7529 (talk) 17:23, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 12 July 2024[edit]

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Menachem Begin. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

‹ The template Edit extended-protected is being considered for merging. ›

I wish to take most of the sections available for Menachem Begin that currently exist within the Hebrew version of his Wikipedia page and use them to expand his English one, I will also use the same Hebrew sources although I'll attempt to find the same ones but in English for better accessibility. I know hebrew so I'll be able to implement the wording properly. The thing is that his Hebrew Wikipedia is much more detailed, and thus I believe translating it and putting it into the English version would make both very informative. Like this I will also check if the Hebrew Wikipedia is in any way biased or unfair with its information. VizoDaniel (talk) 08:04, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
