message: There are at least a half a dozen graves of rabbis listed at the end of this article that are not buried on the Mt. of Olives, but Har Hamenuchot cemetery at the entrance of Jerusalem.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwander (talk • contribs) 10:41, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

message: The Mount of Olives, as much of a fixation as it is and has always been, will be cleaved, according to the Jewish books of prophecy. 
There's an Oracle that describes it, the particular part is in Zechariah 14. "Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him." Jeremiah 14:3-5(NIV).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.13.144.126 (talk) 19:02, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The citation about Palestinian vandalism at Mount Olivet come from an editorial in the Jerusalem Post, a right wing Israeli newspaper. They need substantiation from non-biased sources in a news article, not an opinion piece. Rogermx (talk) 15:55, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Jpost is not a right-wing paper, and factual claims in editorials of high-quality newspapers (such as Jpost) are reliable. Nevertheless, if someone makes a good-faith effort to find extra sourcing and doesn't find any, the issue can be re-discussed. Jalapenos do exist (talk) 20:01, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Of course it is a right-wing newspaper.  But that's not the real issue.  The real issue is that editorials are reliable sources of opinion and not reliable sources of fact.  Zerotalk 00:23, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Factual claims in editorials of quality newspapers are reliable, of course, but the issue is moot since I added two more sources. Jalapenos do exist (talk) 06:08, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: EJ existed for 19 years. It is a historic district which has been consigned to the history bin. It is currently used as a term to describe a historic entity, ideas and propersitions, etc., but to use the term to locate a pysical geographical loction is nonsenseical. It is like saying Tel Aviv is in Palestine. (Well it was for 30 years, but not anymore).  Chesdovi (talk) 22:37, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

message: *AP: Settlers said on Wednesday they are building new housing at a religious school on the Mount of Olives in East Jerusalem
*European Journal of International Law: Palestine would be entitled to construct a parliament building and capital district within East Jerusalem, perhaps on the Mount of Olives near where there is a community center today.
*Dumper, Michael. The politics of Jerusalem since 1967 Columbia University Press: The policy of settling Jews in East Jerusalem in such a way as to disrupt the contiguity of Palestinian areas continued, albeit more discreetly, and the new mayor of Jerusalem elected in 1993, strongly supported Jewish settlement on the Mount of Olives, Sharkh Jarrah, Silwan and Ras al-Amud
*Norman, Julie. The second Palestinian Intifada: civil resistance Taylor & Francis: I lived on the Mount of Olives in East Jerusalem during my fieldwork
More can be provided on request. But these establish that Mount of Olives is in East Jerusalem. I trust that individual user's opinions on the issue will not continue to be used to disregard what reliable sources give as the location of this place. nableezy - 15:49, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

message: The article mentions in passing "contains several sites important in Islam". Can someone elaborate please? Without these the "pro-israeli bias" (and a pro-Christian bias) bias seems justified. The Lesser Merlin (talk) 11:00, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I would like someone to give some information like pictures and official documentation on the Fault line that was supposed to have been found there in 1964 when the seven arches hotel was being built on the top of the mountain. The only thing I can find online are a few articles that don't give much detail and a single green map from a 1980's atlas. This would be quite interesting as the fault line corresponds perfectly to the prophecy mentioned in Zechariah 14:4. 2604:CB00:385:5000:306F:54EE:D9C5:2AA0 (talk) 05:28, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
