Antisemitism In This Article

There is no mention of jewish kurds and jewish kurds who live in Israel, which is part of the kurdish diaspora. The article mentions the christian kurds but not the jewish kurds that have larger population. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Kurdistan

Hello. Antisemitism is a stretch, but Jewish Kurds definitely need to be talked about too. 72n (talk) 21:27, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 5 December 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Kurds. (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.

Not done: There are 3 sources for that one word so it won't be removed unless you can provide more reliable sources Ultraodan (talk) 10:30, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 27 December 2024
