Talk:Nablus

message: Hi all, this is just a note that I'll be reviewing this article for y'all. Note, that it will take some time because you've got a lone one here :) Also, just curious, what do you think about moving some of the photos and having a link to Commons? Just a thought! Looks good so far. Lazulilasher (talk) 11:49, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

#:a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):  b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

#Overall: 
#:Pass/Fail: 
#:: 
Notes:
*The lead: while extremely well-written, it is too lengthy. The lead shouldn't exceed four paragraphs. Remember, we are trying to entice the reader to continue on the article.
*Length: This is a matter of debate--so it is not a criterion for pass/fail of GA. However, I note that the article could be pruned and shortened a bit to eliminate unnecessary detail.
*Section Neapolis: These sentences: "Sources are vague, but Christianity is speculated to have been well-established in Neapolis during the 2nd or 3rd century,[1] however, some sources say Christianity was predominant by 480 CE.[3] It is certain, however, that the city had its own bishop in 314 C.E." perhaps would be better recast like this: "Although it is certain that Nablus had a bishop in 314 C.E., it is speculated that Christianity was dominant in the 2nd or 3rd century, with some sources positing 480 C.E." Also, could we specify to whom we are speaking of with "some sources"?
Again, fantastic work by all contributors! Lazulilasher (talk) 18:17, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Thanks so much for reviewing this article; sooner than I expected I may add. I think I took care of Neapolis section per your suggestion and we will take care of the lead in a jiffy. As for the length of the history section (I think you're talking about the Ottoman and Egyptian sections), I will try to trim some of the content thats very general, but hopefully nothing necessary will be accidently removed. I'll be sure to notify you when everyting is taken care of. Sorry btw, for responding so late; I haven't been active for the last two-three days. --Al Ameer son (talk) 04:33, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I took a stab at copy-editing the lead, paring it down just a bit and merging sentences and paragraphs where possible. It probably could use a little more. I'm unsure as to why Muhammed Ali's brief sojourn into the city should take up so much space in the intro and recommend cutting that down even further. Good job everyone. Tiamuttalk 15:08, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I went ahead and cut it down further as suggested above. If I removed too much detail, feel free to revert, but I think it's better this way, since the details are covered in depth in the section on Muhammed Ali later on. Tiamuttalk 15:18, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Your revisions are all good. This article is very good. I'm tempted to promote it to GA now, but I'm going to wait a bit and see what you guys do with it, if that's OK. Lazulilasher (talk) 18:53, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the positive feedback and the encouragement to do more. I've given the entire article a good once over, section by section. I've changed a lot of sentences tht began with "Nablus" so that the flow is improved. I've combined some sentences and taken out minor repetitions too, and sdded a few wikilinks and clarified language where needed. For now, I think my improvements are finished (that is, until we decide to go for FA status). I hope the article now meets with your (and Al Ameer Son's) approval. Warm regards, Tiamuttalk 12:48, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Thank you very much Tiamut. You did a wonderful job in copyeditting the article with such detail.  I wasn't expecting it, so it came as a lovely surprise. Hopefully we'll get it to an FA, but that means much more expansion. Thanks again! --Al Ameer son (talk) 22:12, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  GA  Review 

message: I must say I don't understand why this article hasn't  been promoted to GA by now, and I assume this will happen very soon. I'm looking at it as a likely FA candidate in the not too distant future, and so I'm a bit alarmed by Al Ameer's assumption that the article needs "much more expansion" to qualify for FA.  It has nearly 6,000 words of readable text at present - what will "much more" take it to?  I would see the step-up from GA to FA as qualitative rather than quantitative, requiring no great expansion of the text. When the time comes, I'd like to help it towards FA if the editors want to take that step. But good luck with GA first. Brianboulton (talk) 22:14, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your encouragement, I guess "much more" was exaggerating a bit. However I don't think I put enough in the "Transportation" and "Economy: Modern-day" sections and I think there could be more in the "Education" section. Comparing the article to Jerusalem (a city FA), the only section missing is one on sports if there is any sports teams in Nablus. I'm very excited that you guys think  Nablus could make FA! And yes, speaking for myself, I would definitely like to take that step, but I can't promise any substantial contribs for the next two weeks (I got exams and a crap load of school work to do ): Cheers! --Al Ameer son (talk) 23:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No hurry. Take your exams (good luck!), then when you're ready can think about getting the article ready for its peer review. Brianboulton (talk) 13:04, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ooops...it wasn't promoted because I forgot to promote it...consider it done. This article clearly meets GA requirements. Now, FA is a different process, it's longer and more arduous, although it is a LOT of fun and its a great feeling of accomplishment once it gets promoted. My recommendations actually fall along Brian's suggestions, which would be to clarify and reduce the text. Ideally, the prose should be as distilled and clear as possible. I've struggled with this, myself, as I tend to write in a meandering, adjective heavy style. Anyway, I'm promoting now. Sorry about the wait... Lazulilasher (talk) 19:25, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Thanks for promoting the article and thanks double for your encouragement and advice. Happy editing! It's Always great to converse with you! --Al Ameer son (talk) 01:03, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Note to the editors

message: Just noticed that this article got GA status. Congrats to all those who worked on it! Reading the article, I have noticed that there is no mention whatsoever of the railway which connected Nablus with Afula and the Hejaz railway. I think it's a pretty big deal, as railways at the time were possibly the most important form of transport, as there were no private cars to speak of. The railway also formed a part of the Turkish war railway in WWI. Can someone please insert this information? Thanks, Ynhockey (Talk) 18:50, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm glad you brought this up, because I was saying in an above conversation, that the "Transportation" section needed to be beefed up. I'll ad the information, but do you have source that mentions Nablus as being a part of the railway? --Al Ameer son (talk) 02:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Railway to Nablus 

message: I think we should add (, Shechem) to the article because of its importance to the Samaritan people that lives primarly in Nablus (maybe it's an important town for non-samaritan jews as well, I don't know that). 
There is an article called Shechem that states Shechem is in "Tell Balatah" but Hebrew Wiki as well as all maps of the area as I have seen calls Nablus Shechem.--Fipplet (talk) 19:02, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I hate to be blunt, but what Jews refer to Nablus is irrelevant since they have no population nor any recent history of population there and I don't think Hebrew is an official language of the PNA. However, the Samaritans are a different story. If you could present a source that says that Samaritans refer to the modern city they live in as Shechem, than adding the Hebrew (which is what Samaritans speak, right?) is justified. --Al Ameer son (talk) 19:59, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, although jews lived in Nablus until 1929 I think, it is perhaps irrelevant. I found sources saying Samaritans live in Nablus and that Shechem is the Hebrew (which they speak, yes) name for Nablus, but I haven't, so far, found sources that directly says that they themselves refer to the city as Shechem. But I'll look into it a little more. Fipplet (talk) 09:12, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shechem 

message: Nableezy, if you look at articles of other cities in Israel, or even the country Israel itself, you will see that your guidelines are incorrect. If you have a problem with this and feel that only one name should be big, the "main" language, then go ahead and sort through all these articles to remove the big tags from the Arabic names of every city in Israel. As it stands, every other article I have searched has both the Hebrew and Arabic names big. Until then, I am reverting your edit. Furthermore, you keep leaving a bracket in your edits.

replies: text: The reason why I changed it is if you look at the templates for the Israeli cities they have hardcoded big for the Hebrew name and normal size for the Arabic name. Nableezy (talk) 00:46, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As you can see from the above "Shechem" discussion, the  Hebrew name does not belong in the article. Nablus is fully administered and secured by the Palestinian Authority, its population is an entirely Arabic-speaking one, and there has been no significant, if any, Jewish population in the city. Also, Arabic is an "official" language in Israel, but Hebrew is not an official language of the PNA. Now, if you can prove that Samaritans refer to Nablus as Shechem, then that's a different story. Until then, the Hebrew should be removed. --Al Ameer son (talk) 01:28, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I know from personal experience that Samaratans refer to Nablus by its Hebrew name. That undoubtedly won't satisfy you, but it's ridiculous that you expect anyone to find something so trivial online. Why would there be a source directly stating something so obvious? It's like demanding that someone find a source proving that Jews call Jerusalem by its Hebrew name. Unless you are disputing that Samaritans speak Hebrew, I will request that you leave the Hebrew name because it is clearly relevant. And if you are disputing this, I will be glad to find you a reference stating that they speak Hebrew. Samaritans who wish to refer to the city in question and who speak Hebrew obviously refer to it in Hebrew. If you won't take my word for it, will you at least accept common sense as a source?72.136.92.148 (talk) 01:54, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Oops, I apologize for being ambiguous, I meant do the Samaritans of Nablus speak Hebrew as opposed to Arabic? Also, personal exprience means nada on Wikipedia, see WP:Original research. I learned that when I first edited Majd al-Krum. --Al Ameer son (talk) 01:59, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I would add a sentence to the article about the traditional identification with the biblical Sechem and omit the extra reference in the title.
The name would be Nablus (Arabic: نابلس‎‎ Nāblus [næːblʊs], Hebrew: שכם‎ Šəḵem, Greek: Νεάπολις Νeapolis) and something along the line of "Nablus has traditionally been identified as the biblical Sechem in Samaritan and Jewish writing" would be added to Classical antiquity.
Speaking of this identification, the article lacks information on the January 1546 earthquake which laid waste to Nablus. The only primary sources are, to my knowledge, two letters in Hebrew. One was found in the Cairo Genizah (accessible in the Friedberg Genizah Project with a transcription by Oxford) while the other was captured by the Inquisition. The former speaks of "over three hundred gentiles" and "three or four Jews" killed in "Sechem;" the latter tells of some 560 Ishmaelite (Muslim) and 3 Jewish residents that were killed in "Sechem" and speculates that many more may lay buried in rubble in surrounding villages. It also tells of lesser damage to other cities, including the collapse of the Dome of the Rock and death of twelve Muslims in Jerusalem, destruction in Hebron, Ramla and Damascus. --ארינמל (talk) 02:16, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

message: So far the arguments presented in favour of separating the two topics are utter nonsense. Much better ones could be given, but merging the two would be by far more honest in scholarly terms.
A city is the result of many factors. In the Middle East the main factors are access to a water source, one or more important roads, agriculturally usable lands, and sometimes religious significance and topographical features good for defense. Sichem and Nablus are two phases of the very same city. All relevant factors are the exact same. Much like Jerusalem, Banias, Tiberias, Caesarea Maritima, Sebaste, Capernaum etc., so Sichem/Nablus, too, was reestblished after becoming part of a different state, or being destroyed during war (or by earthquake in some cases), at a just sligtly different location. Continuity for the locals in terms of location (between Mts Ebal and Gerizim), population (here: Samaritans), religious significance (near Mt Gerizim) between AD 70 Sichem and AD 72 Colonia Flavia Neapolis, is undeniable. Aelia Capitolina was also built 60 years after destruction of its predecessor, Jewish Jerusalem (and not just 2 years later, as is the case with Nablus), north of the main area of pre-70 Jerusalem, leaving out the area of the royal palaces of the Hasmoneans and of Herod I, the Temple Mount, the "City of David", most of the Western Hill etc. And still, nobody doubts this city being just a period in the history of Jerusalem.
Relevant question: did the main stakeholders, the Samaritans, stop calling the city "Shechem" after AD 72? N.b.: the Arab Conquest occurred almost 6 centuries later and is not relevant here. Arminden (talk) 19:07, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

message: As is, Shechem has barely a passing mention in the article and it currently may very well give people the impression that the city was founded in 72 CE with no previous habitation. Jerusalem isn't split into Jerusalem and Iliya (Original Arabic name for Jerusalem, before Al-Quds, a corruption of Aelia Capitolina just like Nablus is of Neapolis), so there is no reason to split this article into Shechem and Nablus. --93.172.106.82 (talk) 21:03, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

message: Should the infobox not list both Israel and Palestine as the country, due to the disputed status? I.e. how Sevastopol, Cimrea lists both Russia and Ukraine?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by IrishLinguist (talk • contribs) 00:00, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
