message: The article states that the city was significant to English crusaders like Richard I because it was said to be the birthplace of Saint George. However the Saint George page states that he wasn't the patron saint of England until the 14th century. Perhaps this need clearing up. Iron Ghost 21:44, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Smells like propaganda, although I won't make judgements unless anything is proven. The point is that the Irgun didn't exist when Lod was captured. The 2nd (online) sources doesn't mention the Irgun. What about the book source (Morris)? -- Ynhockey (Talk) 13:42, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I think we need to decide what to call it throughout, as we're switching from Lod to Lydda and back. The best thing would be to call it whatever it was called at the time of the events we describe. Any objections? SlimVirgin talk|contribs 20:14, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Igor, can you quote what Josephus says, and where exactly as I can't find it? It would be good to know what is meant by that sentence. Also, we may need a source other than him, given that he's another primary source, and that he based his work on the bible. And again, could you please stop copying material from elsewhere and repeating it in the lead. Material from the history section should go in the lead only if there is an issue of controversy, either one that continues, or that is in some way particularly interesting or pertinent to the nature of the city; and even then it shouldn't be copied word for word. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 13:10, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: SlimVirgin, Josephus based his accounts not on the Bible, he lived in that age, and participated in the Jewish revolt against the Romans, and his work is historical account,not religious, used by non-biblical historians .But there is no problem  citing Michael Avi-Yonah, Encyclopaedia Judaica, who uses Josephus as a source. Also please stop deleting name Lod from city history, which is after all, earlier original spelling used, including by many sources, as opposed to Lydda, that is later spelling. If somebody read the article now, he can understand incorrectly, that there was ancient city named Lydda, that became known as Lod only after 1948. Also material must not be related to controversy to be in the lead. See Dresden article for example, history in the lead is not limited to bombing in WWII. If you do not like wording then propose change, don`t start edit war.Igorb2008 (talk) 14:02, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Please stop reverting the lead. What you are adding is not well-written, not well-sourced, and it's inappropriate for the introduction. For example, you're using an Israeli website to say that Lod (not Lydda) is first mentioned by an Egyptian pharaoh. But it is the website that's calling it Lod, not the pharaoh. Do you see the difference? It's going to be impossible to improve this article if you continue to edit like this. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 14:32, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've created Talk:Lod/lead, so that we can expand the lead there. The actual article can't be left with poor writing and sources in the introduction. We can edit the subpage until we have a good-enough version to post. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 14:37, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

message: George Habash, founder of a terrorist organization, listed as a "notable" resident of Lod is an affront to sanity. Do you list Adolf Hitler as a notable resident of his hometown? Infamous would be a far better description of Mr. Habash who murdered scores of innocents. Perhaps you support the actions of Mr. Habash and that is why he is listed? Regardless, his presence on this page speaks volumes about the morals and ethics of Wikipedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.66.1.14 (talk) 16:27, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: It's probably worth reviewing the rather curious sampling of information from  The Economist source too. Not counting the Economist material that was already in this article prior to this edit, a further ~760 words in the source about all sorts of Lod related things could have been sampled and summarized. It's unclear what criteria was used to decide that the most important piece of information that hadn't been sampled from the source was that "Violent crime in the Arab neighborhoods of Lod is largely directed at other Arabs and revolves around clan wars and honor killings".

message: I noticed there are four uses of "BC" in then article, yet the other dates have "CE"- both of which use the same dates, but are a different systems. For a more professional article, I would like to recommend using either "Before Christ" and "Anno Domini" or "Before Common Era" and "Common Era", but not both.

message: User:Nableezy has reverted edits of  (05:21, 6 July 2021‎ SoaringLL) and  (16:55, 6 July 2021‎ Hippeus)  putting undue weight on what they percieve as "international media". The dispute is as to what is to be written after "... first time since 1966 that Israel has used emergency powers over an Arab community...". See examples: I would personaly prefer none of the examples to be on the site until a consensus is found. Alternative 4. Currently alternative 2 is used in the article. Other sources are available, and this article on Lod does not represent the state of 2021 Israel–Palestine crisis#Arab communities in Israel.
In May 2021, the city was put into a state of emergency over Arab riots during the 2021 Israel–Palestine crisis.  On 11 May, Mayor of Lod Yair Revivio urged Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu to deploy Israel Border Police in the city, stating that the city had "completely lost control" and warning that the country was on the brink of "civil war". Netanyahu declared a state of emergency in Lod on 11 May, marking the first time since 1966 that Israel has used emergency powers over an Arab community.

message: The paragraph states that there was a wave of refugees following the holocaust, most coming from arab countries. The issue is that the refugees from arab countries weren't refugees of the holocaust.
Another topic that seems amiss in this article is the lack of mention of the maabarot into which the Moroccan and other jewish arab refugees were placed in. Lod had a huge maabara and this article doesnt mention it. This is an issue as it creates a narrative that all jewish immigration into Lod was completely voluntary. 184.164.179.12 (talk) 15:25, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
