Hello, I'm AntiDionysius. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Al-Aqsa is in danger seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. AntiDionysius (talk) 08:35, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Al-Aqsa is in danger. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. AntiDionysius (talk) 08:47, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Greetings! The modifications I made to the article are entirely grounded in the existing sources. Upon revisiting them, it appears that the current content was implemented to align with a specific narrative, in contrary to the original sources. I'm in the process of aligning the article more accurately with the content of the sources. Feel free to review them to verify the accuracy of these adjustments.

The issue is not the sources; the issue is the way in which the text is added to the article. Changing, for example 'It has been described by pro-Israeli commentators as a "dangerous lie"' to 'Commentators argue that the slogan is sometimes used for political purposes and may be employed to fuel anti-Israel sentiments. The slogan has been described as a "dangerous lie"' removes the attribution of those statements. Doing so implies that this is the general view of all commentators, as opposed to a subset of them.

Additionally, adding "The Israeli government has consistently maintained that it is committed to protecting the rights of all religious groups to worship in Jerusalem, including at Al-Aqsa Mosque" without noting that this claim is heavily disputed clearly upsets the balance of the article.

Furthermore, even if the statement 'The "Al-Aqsa is in Danger" campaign has been utilized by radical Islamic figures to Islamize the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, framing it as a clash between Judaism and Islam' is supported by one source, it clearly implies that the Al-Aqsa is in Danger campaign is primarily driven by "radical Islamic figures", a claim which is somewhere between heavily disputed and patently false.
