Talk:Shefa-Amr

message: Now the article states that the two male victims of the 2005 shootings were buried in a "Christian" cementary. But were they not Greek Orthodox? ...I seem to remember having seen that somewhere? Perhaps a link to Orthodox Church of Jerusalem is correct? Does anybody know? Huldra 09:19, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Most Israelis who are Jews don't recognize the different movements in Christianity so if an Israeli wrote that they were buried in a Christian cemetery, he could've meant Greek Orthodox, catholic, or anything. This can easily be fixed. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 19:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

message: 1. The Hebrew version says that Shefaram was only recognized as a city in 1987, contrary to what the article says. I don't know who's right.
:All that stuff was unreferenced which is a good way to introduce errors. I could not find anything anywhere else. The material about Arab towns having to struggle for recognition is of dubious truth value and relevance here - so I just took it all out. If we can find out when it became a city then we should add it. I don't think Nazareth had any trouble being recognized has a city. If there were towns that had trouble in this respect, it should be recorded there.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mewnews (talk • contribs) 02:22, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Shefa-Amr, according to Google, is a more popular name for the city than Shfar'am or Shefar'am - unsurprisingly, given its ethnic composition. - Mustafaa 07:25, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Mustafaa, you are wrong about the google results. "Shfaram" yields 55,700 results in Google. Shefa-Amr gives 15,600 results.  Is the Wikipedia policy that more popular (by Google) versions be used for names? If so we'd have to change it, but personally I think it does seem unfair since its residents today are Arab. nadav 04:21, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

text: OK then why is it listed as Shefa-Amr and called Shefa-Amr. It is not a town in an Arab country.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mewnews (talk • contribs) 02:17, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Shfaram, which is the correct and official name, was not an Arab town in ancient times, as the article itself shows. It was Jewish. The name of the town, and the name of the entry in Wikipedia, should be Shfaram. Towns in Poland that were formerly German are not listed only under their German name.

replies: text: I seem to have changed it or someone did so it is just ancient. When we find out ancient what then we can say more. Mewnews (talk) 02:16, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ancient "ARAB" town 

message: I did some copy editing. But there was a claim that it was a Canaanite city which is possible, but no evidence was produced and no references. I removed it because I didn't know what could be said with accuracy. If someone has a reference to archaeological digs or other info it should be added. Also if it is mentioned in the bible that should be added. All the Jewish references are late and we should have specifics of where it is mentioned in connection with revolts and which revolts) Thanx Mewnews (talk) 02:27, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Why does this article refer to this region as being once a "Jewish" town when the word "Jew" is a recent introduction? This region's ancient roots are either Canaanite or Hebrew, both groups who were of African origins. The river where the general was healed were pervasive throughout that region and is where the ancient African water goddess' Isis, known as "Beth" dwelled. It was part of her temple in Bethlehem.  All of that region was once under the rule of the ancient Egyptians, including Israel & Palestine. You have not dug deep enough into this ancient history, and clarity must be made that the current occupants of this region, including the present day Jews of Israel, are not ancestrally related to those ancient Hebrews of the Old Testament.74.229.102.208 (talk) 01:19, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

message: User:Greyshark09:   This edit I don´t understand. Somehow  a Christian population was introduced in 1596; but Hutteroth and Abdulfattahs numbers show a fully Muslim place. Huldra (talk) 21:11, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I merely rearranged the sections of the article on history, with minor additions. Can your specify which paragraph are you referring to?GreyShark (dibra) 08:45, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: User:Greyshark09:  Sorry, my bad, I see now that the mistake was already in the article when you edited it. It was in fact an IP who vandalised  it, changing  "Muslim" to "Christian", back in February 2011,....and nobody noticed. Sigh. Huldra (talk) 21:07, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
