Lexicon of Eretz Israel  is  based on what looks like a private web-site?
Major cleaning-up seems needed.

replies: text: Kotar.co.il is basically a Google Books kind of site in Hebrew. Whether or not the source qualifies as an RS or not depends on the book itself, same as how links to Google Books are evaluated.—Biosketch (talk) 16:53, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, Thanks Biosketch. Can you say anything about  "Lexicon of Eretz Israel"?  (I assume "Lixicon" is spelling error?), Cheers, Huldra (talk) 17:05, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. You can see for yourself by clicking the link and scrolling to page 4. The author of the book is Imanuel Hareuveni, a prolific expert on the history and geography of the land of Israel, and the Lexicon was published by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Center for Educational Tecnology.—Biosketch (talk) 17:17, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Does anyone has access to it?  The other  "14th-century" reference to   Jews in Halul have been based on the forged  Chelo's itinerary.  We should make sure that this is not another one.  Cheers, Huldra (talk) 14:24, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Happy if Zero catches me out on this, but the reproduced version of that En.Judaica article mentions Chelo close to this context. Rather than waffle for ages (no info should be put in unless there is a verifiable source, reproduced on demand, in principle) I have rephrased the point till it can be clarified whether this comes from Chelo or not. There was WP:OR involved in using the citation from Kitto for Jewish pilgrimage for the medieval period. Wilson is Kitto's source and Wilson uses the presence tense,  describing Jewish pilgrims visiting the place (as they often are attested as visiting nearby Hebron for that period).Nishidani (talk) 14:50, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok,but the label "ref name="AlexanderKitto1864""  was used in another place, too, so it should not be removed (unless you remove all references to it). Huldra (talk) 15:04, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

message: A map was deleted on the assertion that it had to relate to archeological evidence.  I see no such requirement.  The map relates to the text. Which relates to the history from the Bible. There is no requirement that it be based on archeological evidence. --Epeefleche (talk) 23:37, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

message: And now people want to make pilgrimage to Halhul, based on a forged travel itinerary? link
This is garbage from  the anon Elder of Ziyon blog. They mention "Rabbi Yitzchak Chelo", mentioned by Victor Guérin, talking about ancient Jewish pilgrimage to Halhul. Alas, that is the  infamous Isaac Chelo travel itinerary; now commonly accepted to be a 19th century forgery by Eliakim Carmoly, Huldra (talk) 23:14, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
