Sorry if I am not reporting this in the correct place. The coordinates on the page for Kalandia are correct 31.863114,35.207583(for the village, not the camp or checkpoint) but in GoogleEarth the marker for the article shows up in the wrong place (a village called Bir Nabala).

message: Seen from heaven, there is something like a huge airport, as well as big quarries (?). Worth some information?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hawqala (talk • contribs) 22:00, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

message: The purpose of this check point, similar to many other Israeli check points around Jerusalem, is to prevent Palestinians from entering Jerusalem, rather than allowing ones with permits to enter Jerusalem.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.78.49.82 (talk) 09:20, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

message: It is baffling that the reference that the Kalandia camp is within Greater is continuously changed to Area "A" in response to an out of context quote from the NYTimes- which is admittedly ambiguous. However what is NOT ambiguous is the description both on the UNRWA site http://www.unrwa.org/etemplate.php?id=119 and the official profile .http://www.ochaopt.org/documents/opt_campprof_unrwa_qalandia_oct_2008.pdf
This isn't even a debatable point, kalandia camp is within Greater Jerusalem, and in fact Israeli authorities refused to transfer authority to the Palestinian Authority in 1995 based on the fact it considers the land Greater Jerusalem.
The latest edit on the Kalandia camp is even more baffling as it claims kalandia is on the Israeli side of the border yet still in area "A". ALL land on the Israeli side of the barrier is Area "C"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michardav (talk • contribs) 00:30, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Google Maps shows the refugee camp in the wrong place.  It is a clear error and so we should ignore it.  As for whether the camp is within the municipal boundaries, UNRWA states that it is, and Btselem's map says that the boundary passes through the camp.  As I noted above, these are not necessarily contradictory since the area occupied by the camp might be larger than the official extent of the camp.  However, without a source addressing this point precisely, we can mention both the UNRWA statement and the Btselem map. Zerotalk 02:20, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hmmmm, look at this UNRWA page.  We see, with the same date, "Shu'fat is the only West Bank camp that lies within the municipal boundaries of Jerusalem." and "The Israeli authorities consider [Kalandia camp] as part of Greater Jerusalem".  I'm getting the feeling that "Greater Jerusalem" does not mean Jerusalem within its municipal boundaries.  Indeed Israel does make this distinction. Zerotalk 03:23, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

message: "Until 1930, Kalandia was the only airport in Mandatory Palestine" -- Samakh was in passenger use from 1929  84.22.38.22 (talk) 23:22, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, this does not make sense. If Samakh was in use from 1929  (as the source says), then how can you state "Until 1930, Kalandia was the only airport in Mandatory Palestine"? Should that perhaps be "Until 1929, Kalandia was the only airport in Mandatory Palestine"? Huldra (talk) 23:35, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: 1930 is currently in the article, I think the point is to change and or remove it. nableezy - 23:36, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the quick edit, but in fact, I have now found a reference that RAF Gaza was in passenger use since 1927  --84.22.38.22 (talk) 23:40, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, will change. Any chance you have a source that directly talks about this airport instead of relying on inference based on other airports? nableezy - 23:43, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really. In the 1920s, it was just one of the many RAF stations scattered around Palestine: the only special thing about it was its location near the capital. I think that the unsourced statement is obscure anyway: how is an airport without regular flights different from any other RAF airfield? --84.22.38.22 (talk) 09:02, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
