Talk:Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

message: I changed the article a bit so it is not written like an advertisement.—Preceding unsigned comment added by  (talk • contribs) 19:53, 24 June 2007\ 71.166.45.37
It still reads like a Chamber of Commerce puff piece. Rehoboth is a lovely town, but this is still an advertisement.

message: Can anybody find good references to cite for any of the items in the Trivia section? Also, the Trivia items need to be included in an encylopedic fashion--not a simple list.  I could not find any reliable references to include, and am not sure what a sensible way to include them would be.  I think the trivia listed is interesting, but not sure it should remain.

message: Rehoboth Beach and the City of Rehoboth beach appear to be two different things (the latter nested within the former) and it would be good if this article could clarify the distinction somehow, in terms of boundaries, government, etc. 160.111.254.17 (talk) 13:45, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

message: :
Um, when? New York is named for that Duke of York who had the title between 1633 and 1685; could he be meant here?  The title existed for only about a third of the 18th century; none of the three holders, so far as I can tell from their articles, had any interest in the New World. —Tamfang (talk) 03:29, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

message: NO ONE has apparently thought of or suggested investigating the origin of the name of this city. Well, it is an ancient (Biblically-inspired) word-for, the word is a Hebrew word which, in modern-day Hebrew translates into: streets (in the plural) [re'kho'vot/רחובות] & is also the name of a town in modern-day Israel. 
One of the forms of this Hebrew word is mentioned in the old testament, evident in the name: Ra'hav (which is also the adjectival word meaning: wide in Hebrew) or, as some pronunciations may have it: Ra'khab (which, unlike in Hebrew's word version where the stress falls on the 2nd syllable, in Arabic, the stress falls on the first syllable) referring to the character of the Canaanite prostitute who has welcomed, hosted & hidden in her home the two Israelite reconnaissance spies in the Book of Joshua. Rakhab's name in Arabic also means: wide & spacious but, unlike in Hebrew, it primarily means: to welcome. The connection between the 2 concepts (in said languages' word meaning difference-respectively) can & is probably attributed to hosting people (welcoming them into one;s home) & thereby, like an inn/motel or modern-day hotel, increasing the population of a place, creating the early versions of human traffic-& hence..., streets! :)
