[edit] Unnecessary duplication

This article is nearly 100% identical with Operation Shredder (not surprisingly, since I merged this content , which was previosuly at Es Samu into Operation Shredder). There's a discussion at Talk:Operation Shredder on the need for a separate "Samu Incident" article, with the conclusion "no". Feel free to contribute there. Isarig 16:28, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I believe I have already responded to this point. It's inappropriate to structure Palestinian history according to which Israeli military operation was taking place. The Incident is of course much larger than Operation Shredder. I doubt also whether many people have heard of this operation's code name whereas most relevant history books cover the Samu Incident. --Ian Pitchford 16:50, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Feel free to rename Operation Shredder to Samu Incident, as was suggested and agreed on the Talk page there. These 2 articles are nearly 100% identical and there's no need for this duplication. Isarig 17:13, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I think there should be two articles, Operation Shredder, a relatively short article on the details of the military operation, and another, Samu incident, covering more of the political/ideological/sociological contexts and the broader ramifications. --Ian Pitchford 17:29, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

The "the political/ideological/sociological contexts and the broader ramifications" are already covered in the Operation Shredder article. Just rename it. Isarig 17:38, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Upgrade to B rating?

Seeing that the article is large enough and has reliable references like Bowen and Michael Oren, I think we should upgrade its ratings

• Object - there are severe problems with this article. It fails to make clear that this incident was part of an escalating pattern of Israeli attacks that culminated in the Six-Day War. We need evidence that there was really a mine killing 3 Israelis - or else make it clear that this is an unsupported Israeli claim. PR^talk 09:26, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
