Arabic Name[edit]

... 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)

Average high / Mean maximum temperature difference?[edit]

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?

Biased diction and tone in "State of Israel" section, general need for neutral language[edit]

The comment in the "State of Israel" section "scored its first aerial victory..." lacks neutral language as the positive connotation of "scored" makes the reader more inclined to side with one group over the other. Moreover, using words like "scored" in the context of war is problematic because it is 1) insensitive and makes those killed in order to obtain "victory" mere numbers, as though it were a game, and 2) exuberates a sense of excitement and presents a biased, nationalistic perspective on the conflict. The opening sentence in the third paragraph "In the 1960s, some of the older buildings were demolished, making way for the country's first high-rises" lacks context and uses language that could lead readers to believe the reason the unspecific "older buildings" were demolished is due to the fact that they were old, essentially taking the development of high rises out of the context of war. The tone of this entire section must be neutral and devoid of nationalism in order to be an effective resource. Matthew Dottor (talk) 06:57, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"The city currently has the highest cost of living in the world.[13]"[edit]

This line in the lede seems outdated. A quick look at the source shows that it comes from a 2022 Survey, The 2023 version of the survey puts Tel Aviv at number 8.

Can someone update or remove the sentence claiming Tel Aviv has the highest cost of living in the world from the article's lede, in order to reflect the newer data? JohnR1Roberts (talk) 00:29, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to make a small edit regarding the cost of living.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Liu1126 (talk) 18:07, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Climate Again[edit]

I do not edit much and do not have the required status to edit this entry, and I also do not know how the climate charts are constructed, but it seems to me there is a mistake in the chart in this entry. The way I understand "Mean maximum", the yearly figure shouldn't generally equal the highest monthly figure (see for example the chart in the entry for New York City): the yearly mean maximum looks at the hottest day of the year, and averages across years, whereas the monthly figure only looks at the hottest day each year within that month. The figures should only equal if (almost) every year, the hottest day of the year is in the same month, but generally the yearly figure is higher. The same goes for "Mean minimum". From personal experience, I highly doubt that the hottest day of the year is in April even frequently, not too mention almost always. Unfortunately, I am unable to open the one of the sources of data and when I open the others and try to compile data, the website shows an error and does not provide, so I cannot tell for sure whether my personal intuition is correct (but, come on, it's correct). It would be great if someone with authorization could fix this. Thanks! 94.159.142.38 (talk) 08:19, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
