Name of the Anthem in English is wrong.27 July 2025

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Palestinian Authority. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Description of suggested change:

In the article side-bar, the name of the anthem Fida'i is transilated as "warrior" but that is incorrect.

Fida'i should be translated to "My sacrifice" as it doesn't have a "shadda" ( ّ) at the final "ya`" (ي).

(فدائي) the actual anthem name, translating to "My Sacrifice" not (فدائيّ) which would translate to "One who sacrifice himself".

I believe this is correct, but a good source is needed. One certain thing is that we must not use a hostile source for this, just as we wouldn't use a Palestinian source for the meaning of Israel's anthem. Zero^talk 02:06, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
