Talk:Ein Karem

message: The verse cited in Joshua (15:59) actually says כרמל, Carmel/Karmel (referring to the site south of Hebron I believe. The Jerusalem Municipality website lists the neighborhood as Ein Kerem, with a few Ein Karems turning up, and no Ain Karim. The Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs Jerusalem maps spell the name Ein Kerem.  Additionally, the Hadassah Medical Organization refers to the complex as Hadassah University Hospital Ein Kerem. While I attempted a Google test, it was inconclusive, as while Ain Karim got 315,000 hits and Ein Kerem and Ein Karem only 226,000 and 112,000 respectively, many of the results across the board had nothing to do with the place in Jerusalem.

replies: text: This is all very nice, but people who live in Jerusalem (and Ein Karem) call it "Ein Karem." The Hadassah website is not an authority - it is written by hired translators who write what they like.--Gilabrand 09:57, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

message: user:Tewfik has been very active at 'Israeilzing' pages such as this one...  The official 'Israeli' name is Ein Kerem, and can stay that way (while mentioning that the Palestinian village was called Ain Karim).  The term Jewish refugees from Morocco and Romania is not accurate.  They are immigrants, not refugess.  The homes were not abandoned... they were vacated (either by force or by fear).  Wikipedia is not a place for points of view or rhetoric.  I don't want to start an edit war here, but would appreciate if this is rectified.  --Fjmustak 19:44, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

message: In the past it was a village outside of Jerusalem but today isn't it considered a neighborhood in Jerusalem? Yonatan (contribs/talk) 12:11, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it is a neighborhood of Jerusalem. This whole page needs some serious revision, plus removing most of the photographs, which are very poor. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gilabrand (talk • contribs) 09:54, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

message: A book by William O. Douglas is quoted at lenght...however, what is quoted is in direct contradiction what the Israeli leaders at the time wrote/said! So; either Benny Morris + the Israeli leaders at the time are unreliable...or Douglas is unreliable... I suggest that we cut out his quote, possibly keeping one sentence saying something like "William O. Douglas claims otherwise in his book " Strange Lands and Friendly People".

message: I would like to request that a less partisan source be supplied for the information regarding the statue of Aphrodite. While I find the information interesting and non-problematic in itself, the source is blatantly partisan. The citation is sourced from a website called "My Holy Land" which declares itself to be "devoted to Christians who support Israel." It is affiliated with the Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy and Strategy in Herzliya which is not an authority on archaeology. The aim of the site is a good one: knowledge and understanding amongst peoples and to spread truthful information about Israel. Unfortunately, it goes about this by selectively blacking out swaths of history- ancient and modern. For example, the source of the name is not explained, but they provide - unsourced- information regarding what the ancient Hebrews, Romans, and Crusaders called the area (all of which is new to me). Ein Karem's history ends with the Crusades and appears to begin again in 1919 before falling into silence in the historical record. In other words, there is a historical blackout the duration of the Muslim presence in the territory.
In short, I question the credibility of "My Holy Land" as an objective source of information. I suggest that the citation remain until a suitable replacement citation can be found.
Best regards and keep up the good work.216.95.114.241 (talk) 05:47, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The word "maqam" (under "Mary's Spring") is linked to a wikipedia page about the musical term "maqam," and not as it is meant in this article. I'm newly registered here and don't know anything about editing articles, so hopefully someone else will fix that. Thank you.--Alajnabiya (talk) 16:49, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

message: (1) Re your query. Dresser of the soil, in Latin a politor (classically =weeder) was someone who cared for the land esp after weeding by adding manure or composts of  various marls, lime etc. Contemporary technical English tends to add top- as in say top-dress, but the idiom is perfectly recognisable to a native English speaker of a certain age, and in  this case, it is the standard translation for the monastic use of politor, for manuring was one of the key functions in tending plants.Nishidani (talk) 09:11, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
