message: The name is "מישטרת הישובים העבריים"  and not "משטרת ההתנחלויות היהודיות" - so the article is misnamed because of bad translation. link to Hebrew wikipedia:

replies: text: This the English language Wikipedia and English language sources, including the Jewish Virtual Library , use the term "Jewish Settlement Police". --Ian Pitchford 18:57, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is the correct name and even the Hebrew Wikipedia article to which you refer above uses it. --Ian Pitchford 23:03, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You are wrong. and even Wikipedia in Hebrew can be wrong. Zeq 23:26, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Neither Google nor Google Books has a single reference to "Hebrew Villages Police". --Ian Pitchford 23:46, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Serious naming problem with this article 

message: will be "Hebrew Communities Police" - please see talk above. Zeq 16:57, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What does "translation" have to do with it? This was a British organization and it had an English language name. --Ian Pitchford 17:35, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Really ? This has a very clear Hebrew name and the that is the name the organization is known by. Now the only issue is to properaly translate this name. Zeq 18:54, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Hebrew name obviously isn't clear as you've given several different versions. --Ian Pitchford 19:17, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree Jay. BTW someone seems to have changed the English in the Hebrew language version from "Jewish Settlement Police" to "Hebrew Settlement Police" and then to "Hebrew Communities Police" over the last two days. --Ian Pitchford 19:33, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, an IP editor. Odd, that. :-0 Jayjg (talk) 19:38, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Amazingly enough, the same IP editor that changed the translation on Hebrew Wikipedia is also the one who signed himself Zeq on this Talk: page.  Jayjg (talk) 01:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

text: That is being discussed in Hebrew wikipedia. In any case we here need to find the accurate translation for a Hebrew term:  משטרת הישובי העבריים  Jay have you looked up in a dictionary ? Zeq 20:41, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Well, except for the fact that "Kehilla" means "community", and the fact that Israeli government itself translates "Yishuv" as "settlement", and that the phrase "Yishuv Kehilati", or "community settlement" is meaningless unless Yishuv means something different from kehilla. Please go fight for some reasonable cause, Zeq, not this one which is neither factually nor historically correct. Jayjg (talk) 01:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Correct name for this article 

message: Hi Ian, 
I see you found some interesting references, but could please expand them somewhat? Anyone who would do research on the article may have a hard time locating "Tal, p. 68". -- Heptor  talk 16:17, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is only one Tal mentioned in the bibliography, but I've fixed the year. --Ian Pitchford 19:58, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  References 

message: There seems to be information on this subject on Hebrew Wikipedia. Zeq and Jayjg, maybe you could see if anything could be used here? English sources are prefered, but as far as I remember the policy, foreign are also acceptable if nothing else is available. -- Heptor  talk 16:24, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Hebrew version has much the same information as the English language article: founded in 1936, sponsored by the British, legal authority etc. There is some additional information on the Jewish and British names, the 10 regional battalions, 15,000 strong by 1937, adoption of the Australian hat style etc. Personally, I find the information on regional battalions, their names and colours (taken from here) most interesting and worthy of inclusion. --Ian Pitchford 20:08, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I have a "little question of neutrality". What is the source of what is underlined ?
:The Haganah used the force as a "Training Centre" and put as many of its members through the JSP as possible
Thanks you, Alithien 21:34, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Thank you, Ian ! This article doesn't deserve the "featured article label" by the length but it deserves this by the "methodology". Alithien 12:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Are Jewish Supernumerary Police & Jewish Settlement Police actually the same organisations? I have changed the links to photographs in Ma'abarot, Israel & Kfar Ruppin on the strength of the uniforms shown in these articles. Padres Hana (talk) 20:24, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
