Talk:Holy city

message: I removed Constantinople since it has never been synonymously referred to as 'the "holy city" of Constantinople' unlike Jerusalem, Mecca, or Rome. It was referred most often as 'the imperial city of Constantinople' but traditionally never ascribed as "holy city". And can someone make a disambiguation page for Holy City, Calif. Thanks.

message: Wittenberg is known as the "birthplace" of Lutherism, but calling it a "holy city" seems outright silly. The term would be contradictory to Luther's teachings who denied papal primacy and told that the Bishop of Rome was not more important than other bishops. -- 2003:E2:AF2A:4355:1004:4A8B:B503:3EED (talk) 09:37, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

message: If Palestine is a country please  send me a map of it.
What’s its language ?
What’s its currency ?
Who governs it ?
When was it established ?
Name me a past ruler?
Does it have an Army?
Does it have a Navy?
Does it have an Airforce?
In Jerusalem,you speak Hebrew,you spend shekels,The Israeli Army,Airforce,Police Force ensure law and order.
The Knesset is in Jerusalem -Israeli seat of Government.
Where is the Palestinian Government (Palestinian Authority) based?
Answer-Not Jerusalem  
Wiki may not like the answers to the questions but the facts are indisputable.
If you can answer the questions asked I would be happy to stand aside.If not then I would expect to see Jerusalem being based in Israel.
Many thanks Heoff500 (talk) 16:45, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: *Pushing your viewpoints about the legitimacy of Palestine aren't the point of this article nor an appropriate use of Wikipedia. The article Status of Jerusalem shows how contentious this point is. It is probably best to reflect this conflict with the entry reading Palestine/Israel (contested). --Cerebral726 (talk) 17:39, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

message: In what sense is Blackpool a holy city?  I've never heard that claim before, this article gives no evidence for it, and the Blackpool article makes no mention of it.  This article also list Walsingham - which from the Article is probably valid, but the cited source ("The Top Write Your Own Gadgets & E-commerce Product Reviews") is completely irrelevant. Iapetus (talk) 16:02, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Addendum: Blackpool was added as a replacement for Canterbury by an anonymous user on 23/01/2023 with the edit summary "correcting a typo".  I have reverted this vandalism.  The reference for Walsingham was originally 10 Holy places to go on Pilgrimage, which is no longer valid.  It was changed to the current reference as part of a mass update of references by User:RoanokeVirginia on 28/06/2021.  The other changes look valid, so I presume this was just user error rather than vandalism.  I'll remove it for now.  There are probably some usable references on the Walsingham page that could be copied here.  Iapetus (talk) 16:18, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
