Please provide your sources for the shape of built-up areas and data for the ethnic percentages within each area

[edit]

Simply saying 'own work' does not meet the sourcing standard for this being used for educational or informational purposes. Did you get your shapes from satellite data? Other people's demographic studies? And as for the ethnic group in each area, please provide original census/demographic study data so that individuals may investigate this further; some areas that are majority Jewish/Palestinian are not homogeneously so and that nuance (outside the scope of your infographic) is worth investigating. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shahanshah26 (talk • contribs) 10:17, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comment. I have addressed matters of where I got the percentages for individual towns/villages, and for how I determined the ethnic boundaries and hatching in Mixed cities (Jaffa, Haifa, etc.) in the following discussion page on English Wikipedia, a user raised some of their specific and general concerns, worrying that the presented information may not be factual, and in response to them I provided my sources Talk:1948 Palestinian_exodus - "Incorrect_map". The shapes were a combination of satellite imagery and "Land use" as shown on Open street map.
As for "areas that are majority Jewish/Palestinian are not homogeneously", I've also explained my reasoning in the discussion link, following a general rule that show a locality as "mixed" if the local share of the population exceeds 25% but doesn't exceed 75%. Most contraversial of the decisions I made, is, I would say, the hatched area of "Neighbourhood C" in Beersheba. I did not find any actual specific numbers, but instead I relied on common local information + real estate stats+etc that universally recognized the area as mixed Jewish Israeli-Arab Bedouin (and one that's generally a bit poorer and more rundown than the Western neighborhoods).
