... has to be beside the hebrew. From WP:PLACE: "Relevant foreign language names (one used by at least 10% of sources in the English language or is used by a group of people which used to inhabit this geographical place) are permitted." Could someone who is competent, add it? --Severino (talk) 7:17 pm, Today (UTC+1)

I am a bit confused because "average high" and "mean maximum" temperatures are very different for this city, but for me, these two expressions seem to mean the same. Could someone competent add a clarification about the difference between these two, preferably with citation?

«Tel Aviv is an ethnically diverse city.» is unsourced and subjective.

My request is to remove it.

“Change Tel Aviv is an ethnically diverse city. to ”

 Not done: The paragraph begun by that assertion appears to support it well, though I agree it could use better citations than the one it has. I don't see a case being made that the city is not ethnically diverse. - Brian Kendig (talk) 02:14, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response.

While I don’t disagree, my reason for the request was principled. The absence of people arguing for or against an opinion does not mean that something can be treated as if it is objective or neutral. It is thus my belief that this form of subjective language isn’t in line with what I at least thought (at the time I made the request) were Wikipedia’s rules regarding objectivity. (Idk tho bc I haven’t been here that long. You probably know better) Slomo666 (talk) 17:26, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I updated the population statistics, The 474k figure is outdated and the source, which was Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics figure for 2022, was a dead link. The most recent estimate as per Hebrew Wikipedia is 495,649. The source there is the 2025 figure for the CBS, but that too was a dead link. The most I've been able to find is a Globes article citing the population as 495,600, which will have to do for now. The issue is that the infobox seemed to be using Template:Israel populations, which I don't know how to edit, so I had to do it manually. Someone should update it there and if anyone can dig up a source on the precise figure it would be very helpful. --RM (Be my friend) 15:54, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Description of suggested change: Change the description of the populous nature of Tel Aviv to sympathize with the ongoing genocide against Palestinians ^[1][2] and the unjust colonization of their land as a result of Zionism (the Wikipedia article discussing the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict literally describes this).^[3] I firmly believe that this information, even otherwise, is unnecessary to the description of Tel Aviv.

More specifically, change "If East Jerusalem is considered part of Israel, Tel Aviv is the country's second-most-populous city, after Jerusalem; if not, Tel Aviv is the most populous city, ahead of West Jerusalem," to just "Tel Aviv is the most populous city," or just simply delete it entirely as this was already stated earlier in the article.

 Not done: I don't see the correlation between that and a comparison of population statistics. I also don't see how describing the population of a city is unnecessary to an article about the city itself. Sophisticatedevening🍷^(talk) 20:53, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
