Thanks! I did not know that. I will know that for next time. Linux rules, Windows drools (talk) 19:28, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Your definition doesn't match up with the meaning of the actual meanings of the words like de facto means "existing or holding a specified position in fact but not necessarily by legal right." That's why I reverted your edit. Regards --AyoXR (What's Good? - My Contributions) 20:02, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Why though?

"De jure" literally means "by law", or "legally".

Independent means "free".

I admit that I used "effectively" incorrectly, but other than that it seems correct. I'd be glad for you to enlighten me though.

@QuickQuokka: Check my first reply, you misplaced your definition of de facto and de jure, I rollbacked it the first time without a warning and I sent you an explanation as to why I reverted your edit, then you repeated the same mistake, I thought you were just doing so as an Anti-Zionist sentiment thus the anti-vandalism warning on your talk page --AyoXR (What's Good? - My Contributions) 20:22, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
"De facto" means not legally, but in practice: "effectively".
"De jure" means by law: "legally".
"Independent" means seperate from another; on it's own: "free".
I am once again confused as to which terms I misappropriated.
And I'm not doing this because I'm anti-Zionist, I'm doing this to put the article in simpler terms. I'm literally an Israeli Jew.

check your diffs, you mixed up De Facto's, definition with De Jure's. vv --AyoXR (What's Good? - My Contributions) 20:51, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
The following was the text before I edited:
"The State of Palestine, also known simply as Palestine, is a de jure sovereign state in the Middle East with East Jerusalem as its capital. It is recognized by 141 United Nations members. Since 2012 it has non-member observer status in the United Nations. This amounts to a de facto, or implicit, recognition of statehood.The State of Palestine claims the West Bank and the Gaza Strip as its territory. Its independence was declared on 15 November 1988."

I literally used all the terms correctly. I'd be glad if you can point out where exactly I used incorrect terminology.
