message: I've blocked new and unregistered users from editing this article because of a wave of edits by different (but closely related) IPs, highly exagarating the populations of the cities. The populations provided are from the PCBS, the most reliable source when it comes to this subject. Plus, no source gives the populations that high.

thread_title:  Semi-Protection 

message: "Category:People by city or town in Palestine" has the entry "People from Jerusalem‎". Should it be here also?
"Abu Dis" is listed from Jerusalem Governorate. Has this something to do with East Jerusalem? 85.217.15.248 (talk) 05:44, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is not exactly about Palestinian cities, but those specifically under the administration of the Palestinian government such as Abu Dis. Abu Dis is its own municipality. It is located in the Jerusalem Governorate, but not a part of East Jerusalem which is mostly populated by Palestinians but under the total control of Israel, notwithstanding the absence of international recognition. --Al Ameer son (talk) 06:13, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

message: This list can't seam to decide whether it wants to be about the West Bank (it shows a map of the west bank), or weather it wants to be about the Palestinian territories (it shows some cities from the Gaza Strip). Which it it? We have an article about the List of cities in the Gaza Strip, so if this list is about the whole Palestinian territories, shouldn't these lists be merged. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 21:32, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This article's scope concerns all Palestinian-governed cities in the GS and WB. I believe the two articles should be merged since having two is unnecessary. Also, the article used to have a map for both territories (:File:Palestine election map.PNG) which was removed/replaced when the article was split. When I restored most of it I forgot to restore the picture which I will do now. --Al Ameer son (talk) 22:18, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: OK. There's a discussion related to this at Talk:Lists of cities in the Palestinian territories#Requested move. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 22:24, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

text: Is there any reason not to just go ahead and redirect List of cities administered by Hamas Administration to this page? Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 23:36, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: None. --Al Ameer son (talk) 01:26, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've gone ahead and done so. All the cites listed there are listed here, and other then the history section there's nothing to merge into this list. Maybe some content from the History section can merged into this page, but otherwise I'd say merge complete. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 01:52, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The History section in that article either repeats the information (first ~half) of this article or is outdated (second ~half). --Al Ameer son (talk) 02:03, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

text: That's a different story which would require an official merge discussion. I personally disagree with the proposal because Palestinians don't administer the settlement cities, Israel does. This article isn't necessarily about cities in the territories, hence mostly-Palestinian East Jerusalem's exclusion from this article's list. It's about cities administered by the Palestinians. --Al Ameer son (talk) 02:15, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  What's the scope of this list 

message: :List of cities administered by the Palestinian National Authority →  – The Palestinian National Authority no longer exists. GregKaye 16:37, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately there is a lack in commonality in content with a title such as Lists of cities in the Palestinian territories as the State of Palestine does not administer the various Israeli settlements and a change in content would be needed so as to match the "in" title.  I would also appreciate your thoughts in a parallel discussion at Talk:List of cities in Israel#RfC best resolution of title and content.  GregKaye 09:36, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think it's wrong that the title has to adapt after Israeli settlements when in fact everyone consider them to be in Palestine. Secondly, I think it's easy to solve by just stating "this list does not include Israeli settlements". I will look there now and I have been active in similiar discussions. --IRISZOOM (talk) 12:08, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Requested move 5 March 2015 

message: The division that has been created here is thanks to Wikipedia editors since three years ago, as can bee seen in the article history. While Hamas governs Gaza (the Gaza Strip), no one claims it to be separate from Palestine. There was a discussion in Talk:List of cities in the Gaza Strip#Merge in October 2012 but then it was called List of cities administered by Hamas Administration and there has also been a discussion here above during that time.
Sure there could be two articles, one listing cities in the West Bank and the other one listing those in Gaza (now there is one for the latter), but there should be a general one any way, which this one could be. It could be changed to "in the State of Palestine" (or "in the Palestinian territories") if that is needed to include Gaza again. --IRISZOOM (talk) 01:52, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Division between West Bank and Gaza 

message: The State of Palestine is acually the PNA that changed its name after being accepted as a UN observer member. The PNA has de-facto controll only on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip is under the Hamas controll. Accuarding to the Oslo accords, the PLO is the only legitemte goverment for the PNA and therefore, Gaza is illegaly under the Hamas goverment. Therefore I belive we should add in the table, for every city a "In the Gaza Strip" and "In the West Bank" This table show De-Jure administration, I think it can show some De-Facto administration.

thread_title:  Shouldn't we add in the table, more information about the cities administration? 

message: I've attempted to get the definition of "city" on the website of the Palestinian Authority Ministry of Local Government, but found no such distinction, as mentioned in the article.  However, there are three levels of "municipality", A, B, C and D (distinct from the political designations Area A, B and C), in addition to village councils, and other designations of local governments.  I would think the designation municipality A would be the closest equivalent to city.  Some governorate seats are designated as municipality B.  Perhaps we could have clearer selection criteria of the listed cities.  Many of these listed here have a population of under 20K.  One option would be to include only the Municipality A designation.  Another would be to list all cities with more a population greater than 20000, a third would be to list municipalities A and B. --Fjmustak (talk) 21:59, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I assume the info is here.. too bad I left Arabic class.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 22:37, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Bolter21, thanks for the link.  But this document does not define "city".  My question was more how this list was compiled... Because this is not a complete list of all the localities with a population greater than 10,000.  --Fjmustak (talk) 14:49, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I see the problem... I read a little bit but I can't find the source, "Municipality type 1" is either a city or a town, so We can't really know. Some towns get a status of a city even if they don't follow a criteria (also read it and can't find the source). I"ll try to contact PCBS and see if they can provide us with information.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 15:20, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is a city? 

message: It is suggested here that the title of this article be amended to read with an asterisk, placed after "State of Palestine" and which directs to the explanation "Palestinian Authority", since, as of yet, no final solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been reached, and there is not yet an independent Palestinian State.Davidbena (talk) 09:32, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
