Talk:Mount Scopus

message: Isn't there a more accurate and diplomatic way to say this?  This implies that the borders of Jerusalem which Israel claims are internationally agreed upon.  Perhaps something like "The official borders of Jerusalem as claimed by the Israeli government"?  --Zachbe 20:10, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Desecration

message: After the ceasefire agreement of November 30, 1948, which established the division of East and West Jerusalem, Israel was alloted control of the western part of the city while Jordan controlled the east. Several demilitarized "no man's land" zones were established along the border, one of them Mount Scopus. [1]
Under the armistice agreement signed by Israel and Jordan in April 1949,[2] the Jordanians pledged resumption of "the normal functioning of the cultural and humanitarian institutions on Mount Scopus and free access thereto; free access to the Holy Places and cultural institutions and use of the cemetery on the Mount of Olives; resumption of operation of the Latrun pumping station; provision of electricity for the Old City; and resumption of operation of the railroad to Jerusalem." [3]
One very small problem, the armistice agreement only has 12 articles. Article XIII doesn't in fact exist.  Mount Scopus was covered by the Local area commanders agreement. Previously signed in July 1948.Ashley kennedy3 (talk) 23:01, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: How clever of you. That is a typo. It should have read VIII, which states the following:. The Special Committee shall be organized immediately following the coming into effect of this Agreement and shall direct its attention to the formulation of agreed plans and arrangements for such matters as either Party may submit to it, which, in any case, shall include the following, on which agreement in principle already exists: free movement of traffic on vital roads, including the Bethlehem and Latrun-Jerusalem roads; resumption of the normal functioning of the cultural and humanitarian institutions on Mount Scopus and free access thereto; free access to the Holy Places and cultural institutions and use of the cemetery on the Mount of Olives; resumption of operation of the Latrun pumping station; provision of electricity for the Old City; and resumption of operation of the railroad to Jerusalem. --Gilabrand (talk) 03:43, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I notice that in addition to comments on the talk page, you are putting questions/comments in the text, but "commented out" so they don't actually appear.  I don't know if there is a policy on this, but I think you should just make the comments on the talk page.  The commented-out comments clutter up the source text and make it more difficult to edit the article, and are only going to be seen by a relatively small number of editors.  Your latest comment seems to be "addressed" to the person who added the sentence in question, who, for all we know, may no longer even be editing Wikipedia.  (I did not go back in the history to see who wrote it.)  6SJ7 (talk) 22:43, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The paragraph starting "Two Jewish-owned plots..." mentions two years in the 1930s but mostly concerns events in the 1950s.  Can someone please clean it up a bit?  Zerotalk 02:49, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

message: I have tidied up the grammar in the section on Jerusalem British War Cemetery, with citations to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website, but I question if it is directly relevant to this article on Mount Scopus. The CWGC describe it as being on a neck of land on the Mount of Olives and west of Mount Scopus. (Have not visited Israel so do not have firsthand experience of its visual proximity.)Cloptonson (talk) 18:56, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

message: If Tzurim Valley is the border, then the Mormon U. and Beit Orot are on the Olivet side, no matter what Haaretz writes or the Mormon U. website claims. So, who has the definition? ArmindenArminden (talk) 02:24, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Border between Scopus and Olivet - who knows the definition? 

message: I see on this  map (p. 20, "Emek Tzurim Nat'l Park") that the village/n'hood of as-Suwwanah is in the Tzukim Valley and mostly SOUTH of it. Again (see above), IF the Tzukim Valley is the boundary betw. Scopus and Olivet, then the VILLAGE is mainly on Mt Olivet -- but the HILL of the same name is Mt Scopus? Not impossible, names are not a logical, precise science, but somewhat unlikely. Who KNOWS some answer w/o guessing? Thanks, ArmindenArminden (talk) 10:42, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
