message: What exactly does "the name was later literalised into Tul Karm" mean? Is anyone prepared to swear to it that "literalise" is really a word? I don't quite understand what it is meant to convey. Palmiro | Talk 18:59, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My bloody fault - I used the word given in the source and I didn't look in a dictionary.  I thought I understood what they were trying to say (changed from Tur to Tul for literary purposes; i.e. poetic alteration) - but I should have been more careful - I apologize.

text: I changed it to be even vague.  Unfortunately we don't seem to have any authoritative source on the history of the name.  --Zero 00:45, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Tulkarm is not mentioned by the classical Islamic geographers and travellers, and the first solid mention of it comes from early Mamluk times, when at some time before 663/1264-5 Sultan Baybars divided it equally as ikta`s between two of his amirs, Badr al-Din Basari al-Sharnsi al-Salihi and Badr al-Din Baylik al-Khaznadari.  In records from this time and later, the name appears at [typo for "as"?] Tulkarm, possibly from an Aramaic predecessor Tur Karma.  From the 10th/16th to the 19th centuries, the Ottoman tapu defteris mention it as a village in the nahiya of Kakun in the liwa of Nabulus.  In 995/1548-9, it had 190 households plus three bachelors, but at the end of this century, the number of households had fallen to 156 whilst the numbers of bachelors had increased to 20.  There are no references to any mosques or imams at this stage of its history.  Of Tulkarm's taxes, one-third was the ruler's khass, and part of the rest went to the upkeep of madrasas outside the town and to the complex of al-zahir Baybars in Cairo.  The sources are silent about the town from the 11th/17th to the 19th centuries, except for a reference to a learned Hanbali scholar, Mari b. Yusuf al-Karmi (d. 1033/1623-4) who lived there but who had been born in Jerusalem; a number of his writings survive in manuscript.
Where two dates are given, like "10th/16th", this refers to the Islamic and Western calendars.  This source also gives some more recent history that can be used in our article. It cites original sources mostly in Arabic. Note that the "Tur Karma" possible origin is already mentioned in our article, though Zeq maliciously deleted the web source for it. --Zero 01:14, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I added this template not because Tulkarm is "part of Israel" geographically but because of its present status as the location of IDF checkpoints, a relevant aspect of Israel's involvement in the West Bank. At the same time, I removed the WP:Judaism template (and left a comment on that Project's talk page) because the mainspace article at present makes no mention whatsoever of Tulkarm in relation to the Jewish religion. -- Deborahjay (talk) 18:40, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

message: There are two different Amad ed Din on  SWP map 11, both apparently with significant Maqams.
The first is just north of Nablus, between Nablus and Asira ash-Shamaliya. This one is described in SWP II, pp.  170, 218, 220 
According to the index, all these three SWP refs  are  to Sh. 11, Mn. (or No, according to Palmer)
See also and Palmer, 1881, p. 178
The other  Amad ed Din is just NE of Shweikhah, presently part of Tulkarm.
Now, this is interesting, as according to Mayer, 1933, p. 73 there is a mausoleum there, with an inscription dedicated to Amir  Aqush Al-Burunli, who died 1269 CE. Unfortunately, AFAIK, we dont have any pictures of either place on commons. 
Also, I  suspect the index  is wrong, and that SWP II, p. 220 belongs to this second Amad ed Din, at Km. Huldra (talk) 23:31, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

message: Nablus Sanjak#Later Ottoman rule lists five nahiyas ("subsdistricts"): Jamma'in East (21 villages), Jamma'in West (25 villages), Mashariq Nablus (20 villages), Wadi al-Sha'ir (23 villages) and Sha'rawiyya (24 villages). According to that, Bani Sa'b was not among the subdistricts. It cites a source, available online, which however doesn't include such a list. The claim in this article, on the other hand, cites two sources, neither of which is available online. Thus, both claims are equally dubious, and I'm not sure which one to keep, and which to remove. 147.234.72.52 (talk) 20:16, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It isn't necessarily a contradiction, because the names and boundaries of the nahiyas changed from time to time. I'll add another source and remove one. Zerotalk 12:46, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
