the
British government" is a reduced adjective clause. It is reduced because "which was" or "that was" has been left off the beginning. I have noticed that writers of British English find it acceptable to use "which" not only to introduce a non-restrictive clauses (one that contains extra, non-essential information) but also to introduce a restrictive clause (one that contains essential, limiting, or identifying information) whereas an American writer would be more likely to use "that" to introduce a restrictive clause. As I understand it, speakers of British English consider both "which" and "that" acceptable for a restrictive clause, but in practice, at least on Knowledge (XXG), "which" seems to be used more often than "that". Without the commas, "issued by the British government" is a reduced restrictive clause. With the commas, it is a reduced non-restrictive clause. I think the sentence reads better when the clause is a restrictive clause. It's too early in the article to have a sentence containing what is essentially an afterthought. It should sound like an essential part of the definition/description of the Balfour Declaration. If you agree, and the commas are removed to make it again a restrictive clause, the question then is whether to use "which" or "that". To a speaker of British English, "which" used to introduce a restrictive clause would sound correct. I agree that ambiguity is something to avoid, but in this case I don't think a war could ever read, so I think it is clear enough that the subject of read is the declaration. A speaker of American/US English would prefer "that", but the article is written in British English, so I must leave it up to

necessary. I don't think it is needed in this first sentence of the article. I think it detracts from the main point of the sentence, what the
Balfour Declaration was, and makes the sentence weaker. This particular information can be given later in the article. Forgive my ignorance, but why is it important to mention it in this sentence? If there had not been a minority Jewish population in Palestine, would the British government not selected it for the national home of the Jewish people? Wasn't there a minority Jewish population in many countries around the world at that time? If so, then it seems to me that this bit of information is unremarkable and just extends the sentence unnecessarily. Also, why put "national home" in quotation marks? It makes it sound as if it wasn't really to be a national home, when in fact it would be a national home. Finally, I see you changed "a public statement issued by the British government" back to "a British government public statement", which I find very awkward. Was there discussion on this that I missed, or did you (Onceinawhile) just decide on your own to change it back? Just curious. I'll leave the rest to you; this is all I'll say.  –
461:"This text thereby avoided committing the entirety of Palestine to the Jewish National Home, resulting in controversy in future years over the intended scope. This was subsequently clarified by the 1922 Churchill White Paper, which wrote that "the terms of the declaration referred to do not contemplate that Palestine as a whole should be converted into a Jewish National Home, but that such a Home should be founded 'in Palestine.'"" This reads as if 1922 was subsequent to the controversy, surely not the case. Also, I note the references are not in order. Either the refs should be in numerical order or you're of the practice where the most significant ref comes first, either way it should be consistent throughout.
1437:. Most of the small creases have been smoothed out through the previous reviews. But, although noone mentioned it to date, to my read there were three or four reasonably-sized disconnects in the flow of the text. These have taken a bit of rolling-up-the-sleeves, and more than one go with the iron, to get perfect. There are just one or two left now that I'm aiming to fix over the next couple of days.

653:"Weizmann had argued that one consequence of such a public commitment by Great Britain, making the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine one of the Allies' war aims, was that it would have three effects:" Did this really do that? Balfour did not speak for France, for one thing, and was it really a "war aim" that the Allies said they were fighting for?

2139:, these are really helpful comments, thank you. As to the historiography, I know what you mean. I have worked hard to create a narrative which flows smoothly throughout the article, and I agree that this section is a departure from that. I think it could fit well either just before, or else in, the Long Term Impact section.
1635:, because in the late 19th / early 20th century in every other region of the world nations were created based on the characteristics of the majority (the concept of self-determination). It is exactly this point that makes the Balfour Declaration so unique. I would love to find a more elegant way of communicating the same.

The problem with the currently proposed sentence is that: (a) it seems to imply that the Brits were proposing to support the protection of the Jews currently in
Palestine, and (b) without being clear that it was aimed at Jews "worldwide" and that Palestine was mostly non-Jews, it only covers concepts

We now have two sentences, one before the quote and one after, with the first being a summary of what the declaration was in concept and the second being a summary of what form it took.

To me, the historiography section seems to come too early (looks out of place), as it consists of retrospective reflections long after the fact. It seems it would belong right after reactions. Also, much of the rest of the article is historiographical in nature, so it seems a bit strange to have one

This means that the word "other" is being emphasized within a larger quote. However, usually, when this happens, at least in US style manuals, the inner quotation marks (those around "other") are changed to single quotation marks. If this is at odds with

Before I move anything around, you mentioned that you’ve seen historiographical content elsewhere - I assume you are referring primarily to the “Terms” section? To my mind, the distinction is that the

On this one, I am certainly prepared to cut down a few of the quotes / notes. Of course I am keen not to go too far so as to damage the article and undermine the strength and support that the notes provide. If ok with you I would prefer to let the discussion take place, because, if we’re lucky and

This is a great suggestion, thanks. I have started doing so, and have a few more to go. It has helped me identify situations where some of the detail is already in the text and doesn't need duplicating, and also where some of the footnote detail would be better in the text. I will keep going, and

I suppose that the juxtaposition of "Jewish 'national home'" vs. "minority Jewish population" implies reasonably strongly that we are talking about Jews worldwide. I have been racking my brains for other solutions which spell this out, but they are all too clunky. So I can live with this.

On "public statement issued by the

I think we can agree that it is a little long and wordy. If we take the first part of this sentence and add it to the end of the initial sentence, this sentence becomes more reasonable.

Perhaps the main point is that the lead sentence needs to describe the whole declaration, not just half of it, and without following the declaration text verbatim.
