message: this information was deleted because it is misleading and not sourced, as first of all "muhafaza" mean governorate and not capital, and second of all it was never ever considered as a al-Bireh Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate.--213.6.36.81 (talk) 09:26, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I added a photo of a mosque that describes it as an al-Bireh mosque. It appears in the Wikicommons for al-Bireh. It appears on several other Wikiprojects on the al-Bireh page. An editor claims it is in Ramallah, and writes he is removing it "again," as if we are involved in some kind of edit war about it. I don't care one way or another about mosques in al-Bireh, but if the description on the photo is wrong and there is evidence for that (do you live there, Asad?), then perhaps you should fix it in the Commons. Thanks.--Geewhiz (talk) 14:41, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: There was no edit war as far as I know, I was just referring to the when I had earlier removed the photo. Its not your fault for properly reading the commons description, Gilabrand, because the Commons and Wikiprojects have gotten it wrong. I am not in Palestine anymore, but I have been to Ramallah about a gazallion times and can tell you that you could probably throw a rock (no pun intended) from the mosque and it would land on the Al-Manara roundabout. As far as changing it, I am not really involved in the commons too much, but I will look into it. -asad (talk) 17:47, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry Asad. I didn't realize the photo had been removed before. I was just browsing through the commons and didn't look at the article history.--Geewhiz (talk) 17:53, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

message: http://davelivingston.com/  does not seem to be a  WP:RS to me. According to the About the Author-page, he has a certain agenda. He can be useful in finding sources (like Robinson, Thomsen etc.)  , though, see:   Locating Biblical Bethel Correctly - Part I, Locating Biblical Bethel Correctly - Part II  
And since there is some discussion about wether Beeroth (biblical city) is Bireh, or not...I think everything which directly relates only to Beeroth should go into the Beeroth (biblical city)-article.  Eg that it is mentioned by It is mentioned by Saint Jerome.  Cheers, Huldra (talk) 16:08, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Al-Bireh is also twinned with Hounslow, according to the London Borough's own signage. Xander11012 (talk) 15:37, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, User:Xander11012; link please? I see() it is twinned with Ramallah (noted in that article); any link for Al-Bireh? Huldra (talk) 21:51, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: User:Huldra All I can say is what is shown on "Welcome to Isleworth" sign on Richmond Road. The sign lists Ramallah and Al-Bireh together. Here is a link to the sign that I found. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Welcome_to_Isleworth.png Xander11012 (talk) 02:45, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
