Talk:Ma'ale Levona

message: Not sure what's going on here and I don't want to interfere further without consulting the community.  I was on vandalism patrol and saw an anon editor removed a neutral, credibly referenced statement on the international perception of the legality of the settlement.  I reverted the article to reinstate the content, and immediately had my revert reverted with the comment 'racist vandalism'. Can someone with knowledge of the history of articles on Palestine and Israel provide some guidance, and reinstate the content if appropriate?  Helenabella (Talk)

An Arabist activist summarily deleted this (didn't just change some parts, OMITTED this Inconvenient FACT about the UN's position) within hours (username "Zero0000" who does the same on many Wikipedia articles with POV tags).

message: While the full Wikipedia article itself does not contain this information, the snapshot of this article that appears to the right of the search results for "Tang Yin" on Google contains the line "Books: Computational analysis and optimization of real gas flow in small cetrifugal compressors", which was clearly not written by this 15th century individual, no matter how much of a scholar he may have been. Since it is not in the article, I am not sure whence Google picked up this clearly incorrect information, so I am adding this Talk section in hopes a more experienced Wikieditor  can rectify.

Talk:Mevo Dotan

message: I wonder, is there really a reliable source for the claim that a part of the West Bank is called "Samaria"? To me, it appears to be Israel-specific (and thus POV) terminology. I suggest simply  "The northern part of the West Bank". MeteorMaker (talk) 09:59, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: yes - the article uses terminology which is used here. NoCal100 (talk) 15:08, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That map is a bilingual map, showing what the areas are called locally (and it has never been in question that the area is called "Samaria"/"Shomron" by Israelis). The CIA, the organization that issued the map 15 years ago, never uses the term "Samaria" (see for yourself in their online archive, so it's clearly a misrepresentation of the purpose of the map to claim that the CIA uses this Israel-specific terminology. Here's another example of a bilingual map, you would not use that to claim that "Exhibition Center" is a Chinese word. MeteorMaker (talk) 16:00, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Migdal, Israel

message: "Migdal is built on the likely location of the classic era Magdala - a major Jewish town on the shores of the Lake of Galilee, which was destroyed during the First Jewish-Roman War in the 1st century CE." --- This is at least misleading, since the believed location of Magdala is about 2km away to the SE on the lake shore, where al-Majdal stood. What might be true, but I don't know it to be true, is that the lands of Migdal now include that location. If there is a source for that, it can be added with the correct wording. If the ancient location of Magdala does not even lie in the lands of Migdal, I don't see why it should even be mentioned. Zerotalk 13:27, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Returned to bold editing a few months ago, doing good so far. Back to the subject, Madjal/Magdala are indeed within Migdal's jurisdiction. I can try and find sources to add that it is in the town's territory, and I believe the site is also ran by the council but for some odd reasons there aren't many sources bout' this place online, and I probably won't spend the 200 shekels on gasoline to get there.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 22:07, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks. It appears that similar considerations apply to the ancient synagogue.  The source doesn't report its precise location, but in Hadashot Arkheologiyot vol 125, ca. p1120 it is shown in the Madgala complex. Zerotalk 00:17, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

text:  There is a whole article on ancient Magdala. If modern Midgal has expanded that far, it can be mentioned. It isn't a reason for a mass duplication of content, which is our practice even for cities built exactly on ancient sites when the ancient site has its own article. Zerotalk 11:21, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't believe this is an "expansion" - but rather the state of affairs from circa 1949. Migdal junction is built more or less on the Magdala site - with a shopping center, restaurants/eateries, gas station, hotel, beaches, 2 caravan sites, as well as a visitors center. Mentioning the ancient history of Migdal, namged after Magdala, in 1.5 lines -  - is not our practice regarding modern cities that encompass older ones - e.g. New Amsterdam and New York City.Icewhiz (talk) 11:35, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: As I see it, Magdala should receive a section in the article as a landmark or a notable place. I haven't yet got to work on Migdal, but probably when it will have a larger article, a small section about Magdala won't feel like not enough. Migdal has over 100 years of history of its own.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 13:42, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: Misgav New logo

message: The introduction now has this paragraph:
::Misgav is home to some of Israel’s high tech companies including the likes of Microsoft, and Intel, whilst much of the region's economy is based on tourism as a result of the numerous skilled crafts people and artists who have made it their home.
This paragraph contains misinformation after misinformation. Saying that Misgav is home to Microsoft and Intel is ridiculous - if anything this could be said about Haifa, not Misgav. Saying that much of the region's economy is based on tourism is also ridiculous, given that there are hardly any tourism at all in Misgav - hardly any zimmers, no hotels, few tourist attractions, few restaurants, etc. Also, perhaps numerous skilled crafts people and artists made it their home (though I don't have any statistics to back this up), but what does this have to do with tourism? If there are several carpenter shops in Misgav, do tourists come to visit them? If there are a few painters living Misgav, do tourists come? I don't see any truth or relevance to these statements.

Talk:Nes Harim

message: This is what it says on the Bayt Itab page:
"The Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi described  the village remains in 1992 as: "The site is covered with large amounts of rubble from the demolished village houses. There are two cemeteries east and west of the village. Some of the graves are open, and human bones are visible. Almond, carob and olive trees grow on the village site and on the lower approaches. Cactuses grow on the southern edge of the site. Part of the surrounding agricultural lands is cultivated by Israeli farmers." --Gilabrand (talk) 16:19, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bayt Itab 

message: The site is covered with large amounts of rubble from the demolished village houses. The remains of the Crusader fortress are prominent on it (see photo). There are two cemeteries east and west of the village. Some of the graves are open, and human bones are visible. Almond, carob and olive trees grow on the village site and on the lower approaches. Cactuses grow on the southern edge of the site. Part of the surrounding agricultural lands is cultivated by Israeli farmers.
...What is important  is to distinguish between  "village  site" and "village land". Most houses in the average Palestinian village were clustered close together, on the  "village  site", while the rest of the "village land" was used for agriculture, etc. In short: "village land" is virtually always a very much larger area than the "village site". It is quite typical to see that a new (post-1948) settlements was on the village land of some depopulated Palestinian-village...but often not on the exact village site. Which is the case here. Regards, Huldra (talk) 00:20, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The distinction is fine, but again, the source says "part of the surrounding agricultural lands," so the text should be amended to reflect that. Best, --Gilabrand (talk) 03:42, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I´m not sure I follow you? The article does not say how large the juristriction of Nes Harim is, but assume it is quite a bit smaller that what belonged to Bayt 'Itab. And, as the article say, Horbat 'Itab, a 130-dunam national park is, from the descriprion, also obviously on Bayt 'Itab land. That *not all* of Bayt 'Itab land is  used by Nes Harim, does not mean that not *all* of Nes Harim -land once belonged to Bayt 'Itab....Regards, Huldra (talk) 20:49, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
