Your edit will be reverted in due course to restore the standard text. If you would like to change the wording in the hundreds of articles about Israeli settlements, start a central discussion about it. Sean.hoyland - talk 04:11, 18 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

OK, revert it. But, the original is terrible phrasing. It was awkward when the BBC devised it as a stamp to place on all articles relating to the West Bank, and still awkward now that Wikipedia has decided to use the same phrase word-for-word. I'm getting tired of seeing this wording everywhere, and I am not even sure that it is neutral language, given that it is a word-for-word reproduction on the BBC's subjective opinion on the matter.
