this page has been edited using past tense when describing [[Gaza City|Gaza city]]. This needs rectifying [[Special:Contributions/&#126;2026-15433-29|&#126;2026-15433-29]] ([[User talk:&#126;2026-15433-29|talk]]) 14:46, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

:Gaza has been evacuated and bombed per [https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2025/10/catastrophic-mass-displacement-as-israel-obliterates-gaza-city/ Amnesty International]. It's now largely abandoned, and as can be seen on [[Abandoned village]], these empty cities are referred to in the past tense. Also, all of the buildings are gone.

::Oh, is it not even in past tense? Oops. This can be closed then (but it should be in was, due to being largely abandoned) [[User:Emholt1|Ethan (Emholt1)   :)]] ([[User talk:Emholt1|talk]]) 15:29, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
:::After the [[Battle of Borodino]], Napoleon entered Moscow only to find that it had been deliberately abandoned, and left so devastated that he could not winter his troops there. Nevertheless, Moscow did not remain abandoned for long.
