| Hebron is not the most populous city in the West Bank; the West Bank part of Jerusalem (]) has way more inhabitants than Hebron, according to Israeli sources (and Palestinian sources as well). Yet, ] continues reverting the page to the false affirmation that Hebron is the most populous city in the West Bank. IF we consider Jerusalem as one single, unified city, then Jerusalem is the largest city in the West Bank (even if considering only its part which is literally inside the West Bank). If we follow the international community's standard, East Jerusalem is the largest city in the West Bank. Under no one's definition can Hebron be the largest definition. On a second note, Biblical stories obviously don't qualify for the lead of a Palestinian city. ] (]) 17:34, 12 June 2022 (UTC) | |||
| : {{Citation needed}}. As far as I'm aware, the international community standard sees East Jerusalem and West Jerusalem as sectors of the same city, not as two different cities. If East Jerusalem is indeed its separate city, and is regarded the largest city in the West Bank, there must be sources for that, right? In the meanwhile, I've seen the '''Guardian''' , the '''New York Times''' and '''Business Insider''' all saying Hebron is the largest city in the West Bank. | |||
| : And for your second note - please clarify. Bethlehem, for example, explores its biblical history at lead. I have never heard of a Palestinian city having problems with Bible stories. Also, Islamic stories about Hebron are of course influenced by those in the ](]). Traditions such as these are an integral part of Hebron's history, whether they took place or not. I'll be waiting for an explanation, and no, ] is not a valid argument. ] (]) 18:19, 12 June 2022 (UTC) | |||

It is the largest WB Palestinian city '''if we exclude East Jerusalem''' .

Except for the New York Times, the Guardian And Business Insider I mentioned above, '''Haaretz''' (), and the '''Times of Israel''' (), and '''Ynet''' (), along with '''Al Jazeera''' () the '''Middle East Eye''' () and '''Al Arabiya''' () all agree that Hebron is the largest city in the West Bank. So, everybody, how do you recommend moving forward here? ] (])20:24, 12 June 2022 (UTC) | |||
| :::As I stated, we have a meme, 'Hebron is the largest city in the West Bank'. It is very easy to document that this is asserted in numerous, perhaps the majority of mainstream sources. | |||
| :::On the other hand, stated thus, it is (a) factually wrong in terms of the demographic lay of the land within international law. It is only correct if (b) one assumes, as with the majority of mainstream sources, that East Jerusalem is a ''tertium quid'' outside the West Bank, i.e., that one endorses the Israeli official POV which, as so often, is carelessly repeated by agencies like the NYTs and Israeli newspapers. The latter are certainly not known for careful discrimination in this regard, and are interested parties to the conflict. | |||
| :::As Jeppiz notes, the issue is in good part related t the points made at WP:Truth. We know the 'truth' in strictly legal terms, but it is, apart from Nableezy's ref., swamped by the mainstream 'factoid'. | |||
| :::What must editors do? Allow a known meme to ''Trump'' the finicky precision of our obligation to be both neutral and objective? That can be done only if we take WP:RS's stipulations in terms of quantitative weight - there are more RS supporting the factoid/meme than there are reflecting the known topological distinctions of legalistic approaches to border demarcations. In my view, to willingly state in wiki's neutral voice a claim that is known to reflect one of two POVs, one known to be incorrect, is deeply problematical. It is a quantitative argument, whereas, RS are valued technically for the quality of the source, and we have one, which happens to state what is the technically correct call. To privilege quantity over quality would be tantamount to using a technicism to endorse a POV, in a field where distortion is deeply rooted (and not limited to Israeli discourse). And Dan, take Jeppiz's advice. This should be ironed out on the talk page. I know it is distressing to have made a correct call, and see it reverted, but patience is a virtue here. ] (]) 21:12, 12 June 2022 (UTC) | |||
| One user has made a lot of changes to the lead that are both incorrect and non consensual: all mentions of the ] have been removed (so now the claim that it is the third largest city “in the country” makes no sense as no country has been mentioned up until this sentence), there is a double .. that makes no sense, it claims Hebron is close the green line when it is it not - so I humbly suggest reverting the article to the consensual, stable lead that was in this article until two weeks ago. ] (]) 16:54, 11 August 2024 (UTC) | |||
| So heres the thing about reliable sources, their reliability depends on what they are talking about. A while back, an editor was able to find a handful of news sources that described Katzrin as the largest city in the Golan Heights. I suspect they did this because they saw their source say "largest Israeli settlement" and thought they should "neutralize" that phrasing, but in so doing they made a blatant factual error. Katzrin has never been the largest city in the Golan Heights, from the day it was founded until today, Majdal Shams has always been larger. It has of course been the largest settlement, but it was factually not the largest city in the Golan, by even Israel's own population statistics. But an editor argued that because the NY Times once called it the largest city that we should then "reflect the reliable source", even when they knew it was factually wrong. Jeppiz is right on the ] bit, but only to a point. We are concerned with verifiability over truth, that is correct. But we should not include what we know to be untrue just because it is verifiable to a nominally reliable source. I generally dont think news sources are more reliable than things like official population statistics or more specialist sources like UN agencies on topics of populations or borders, so I would say that yes those sources are reliable, but they arent examinations of the largest cities of the West Bank and the phrasing "largest city" is incidental to what they are actually reporting on and what they would be reliable for. I think several things are provably true here, and I dont think we should be putting in things that are provably false; a. Hebron is smaller than East Jerusalem, b. East Jerusalem is included in the "West Bank" per most reliable sources. I think we can say one of several things, "excluding East Jerusalem, Hebron is the largest city in the West Bank" and "after East Jerusalem, Hebron is the largest city in the West Bank" being two acceptable options to me, though Im guessing Tombah might prefer the first while I prefer the latter, but I do not think just saying "Hebron is the largest city in the West Bank" is acceptable. At the very least the UN source shows that to be disputed as a fact. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 3px;white-space:nowrap">''']''' - 22:32, 12 June 2022 (UTC)</small> | |||

We never put these into articles, even when they appear in respectable newspapers, because even good journalists are not linguists.

| :::Yes, there are more people living in East Jerusalem than in Hebron. But no, East Jerusalem is not considered a city in its own right. Palestinian claims, the international community, etc, don't matter here, since it is almost always described as a "sector" of Jerusalem, not as an independent city. A quick search on Google Scholar with the term "Largest city in the West Bank", immediately shows that most sources believe it is Hebron. Some of the results mention Nablus, which is the second largest after... Hebron, as well. No matter what your political views are, professional editing should always stick to reliable sources.

| It is not about "Palestinian claims", East Jerusalem is in the West Bank, and yes the PCBS includes EJ as a separate municipality and gives a population for it. Any source that is not specifically on the topic of "largest cities in the West Bank" is being misused here, and it is the height of bad faith to go search for a source you know is wrong to use because it is supposedly "reliable". That you can find sources that mistakenly say Hebron is the largest city doesnt mean you should copy that error here, just like you shouldnt copy sources that say that or the ones that say Nablus is the largest. Those sources are reliable for what they are covering, which is not the population statistics in the West Bank. It is ''absolute nonsense'' to include as a statement of fact that Hebron is the largest city in the West Bank. '''Especially''' given the unanimous opposition on this talk page to that claim. It is both disruptive in violating consensus and tendentious in purposely inserting factual incorrect material to push a POV. I was generous with "absolute nonsense", and if such edits that fly in the face of an obvious consensus continue to be pushed I will 100% be reporting them. You do not get to decide that you are the arbiter of the content of our articles, there is a clear consensus against your position on this pag and you are obliged to follow it. If you do not well we can see if there are consequences to that. Ive offered you a compromise that should work for all parties, but you ignore the obvious consensus against stating what we have already established is at least a contested POV as a fact to just go ahead and do that anyway. You may not say Hebron is the largest city in the West Bank as a fact, it is a contested statement and there is consensus on this page against it. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 3px;white-space:nowrap">''']''' - 13:29, 5 July 2022 (UTC)</small> | |||
| :The attempt to discredit extensive scholarship that agree that Hebron is the largest city in the West Bank can be seen as ]. I am still not convinced that East Jerusalem is a separate city. The two sources that assert otherwise are nothing more than a drop in the ocean. As far as I am concerned, East Jerusalem is a sector of a city. Jerusalem, according to our own article, is a city that straddles "the Green Line between Israel and the West Bank". A sector of a city cannot be "the largest city in the West Bank", it is what it is - a sector. Despite some's desire to view East Jerusalem as a separate city, I do not agree with this opinion; as far as I am concerned, the two-state solution has not yet been implemented. The professional thing to do here is to stick with the sources; as we have already seen, the majority view Hebron as the largest city in the West Bank, with an (extreme) minority seeing it as the second largest. Since you are the more experienced editor, I'd be glad to learn how we reflect the opinion of the majority of sources, while also making sure that the minority is also heard. ] (]) 09:12, 6 July 2022 (UTC) | |||

A 'sector of a city' in this confused world, can often be treated distinctly from the city itself according to the geopolitical arrangements, as was the case with East Berlin or Northern Nicosia, the largest city in Turkish Cyprus.

The tendentious BS about "majority view" ignores that none of those sources are discussing the relative size of these cities. They are discussing other topics, and none of them are demography or statistics focused or any other relevant field. It is purely about pushing a POV for you here.

On the other hand, I see just "Al-Khalil" much more commonly than "Al-Khalil Al-Rahman" and this should be mentioned if it can be properly sourced. ]<sup><small>]</small></sup> 13:30, 11 September 2023 (UTC) | |||

It could sound correct when it is added to a city, such as in the article by WAFA, مدينة الخليل الرحمن, i.e. "the city of Al-Khalil Al-Rahman". But for a standalone nickname, such as in first sentence, "Khalil Al-Rahman" should be good. ] (]) 15:49, 19 September 2023 (UTC) | |||

The hyperlink for matriarchs in the first section should be https://en.wikipedia.org/Patriarchs_(Bible)#Matriarchs, i.e. including #Matriarchs. Otherwise it just directs to the same page as the link for *Patriarchs*. Morinator (talk) 21:55, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Edit request: return to stable and consensual lead
One user has made a lot of changes to the lead that are both incorrect and non consensual: all mentions of the State of Palestine have been removed (so now the claim that it is the third largest city “in the country” makes no sense as no country has been mentioned up until this sentence), there is a double .. that makes no sense, it claims Hebron is close the green line when it is it not - so I humbly suggest reverting the article to the consensual, stable lead that was in this article until two weeks ago. 2A00:A041:3B9A:AC00:6CFF:3757:7454:502D (talk) 16:54, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Not done, this edit request is unclear (see WP:EDITXY) and anyway appears to be something that would require a consensus first. Selfstudier (talk) 16:57, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
Edit request: return to stable and consensual lead (2)
There was a consensual lead that had been stable for years that has been butchered out without discussion and in a clearly non consensual way in the past two weeks. So my suggestion is to simply restore the “new”, unilateral lead to the previous, consensual one:
“Hebron (/ˈhiːbrən, ˈhɛbrən/; Arabic: الخليل al-Khalīl, pronunciationⓘ or خَلِيل الرَّحْمَن Khalīl al-Raḥmān; Hebrew: חֶבְרוֹן Ḥevrōn, pronunciationⓘ) is a Palestinian city in the southern West Bank, 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of Jerusalem. Nestled in the Judaean Mountains, it lies 930 metres (3,050 ft) above sea level. The second-largest city in the West Bank (after East Jerusalem), and the third-largest in the Palestinian territories (after East Jerusalem and Gaza), Hebron includes the Cave of the Patriarchs, which Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions all designate as the burial site of three key patriarchal/matriarchal couples. The city is often considered one of the four holy cities in Judaism as well as in Islam.” 2A02:14F:1EF:4E74:F92A:EC94:17B1:92F2 (talk) 17:02, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Not done. This edit requires consensus (of EC editors). I will leave this unarchived for now so that they may comment if desired. Selfstudier (talk) 17:11, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- To editor Selfstudier: IP is correct that Kharbaan Ghaltaan's massive changes should be reviewed. I just deleted the whopper about it being near the Green Line, which is all I have time for at the moment. Zero 03:14, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Kharbaan Ghaltaan: Can you please comment about this. I recall that we had similar issues at the State of Palestine article. Perhaps you could cease making large scale changes while we resolve this. Thank you. Selfstudier (talk) 08:22, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- I for one found them too rapid and massive to handle. I don't like the <ref =O> format for one. The Harvard style method, which simply cites the listed source and always provides pagination, is scientific, whereas the other form leaves verification hanging in the air. The Harvard system was for long the default reference form. I was tempted to revert the lot, but didn't because some edits were clearly improvements.Nishidani (talk) 09:20, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- what large scale changes. If you think its not ok, then feel free to improve it. But don't revised whole at a time. Kharbaan Ghaltaan (talk) 13:19, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- Are you saying you feel entitled to make large scale changes but other editors shouldn't?Nishidani (talk) 13:31, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- We can't have serious errors, bad English and so on. Other editors shouldn't have to improve such, that's a nono. Selfstudier (talk) 13:44, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Please delink ] in the infobox image caption, as it links to an irrelevant page about Hebron, Connecticut. Thank you. 104.246.217.171 (talk) 00:07, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Simple typo fix: change "alone" to "along"
CURRENT: the economy of Hebron was more diverse, including agriculture and livestock herding, alone with glassware manufacturing and processing of hides.
