Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 20 July 2023 re: Hebron Size

current text: "74,102 dunams (74.102 km2 or 28.611 sq mi)" Whilst the article claims that Hebron is 74 km2; this is the larger Hebron metropolitan area. The Hebron municipality covers 22.5 km2. Shenkin25 (talk) 08:37, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Al-khalil al-rahman

It says at the top of the page "الخليل الرحمن" but this name doesn't seem accurate because it is grammatically wrong in Arabic. The name of the city is related to the nickname of Abraham in Islamic tradition. The same way in Judaism and Christian tradition, Abraham is called the patriarch. However, the word Khalil means "friend" in Arabic. It is often said "khalil al-rahman" (خليل الرحمن) meaning "friend of the God" but not "al-khalil al-rahman" (الخليل الرحمن) which wouldn't sound grammatically correct in Arabic.

Remove the name "الخليل الرحمن" completely because it isn't the name of the city but the nickname of Abraham in Islamic tradition. If you want to keep it then change it to "خليل الرحمن" although this is only the nickname of Abraham and not the city name. 41.47.212.155 (talk) 08:23, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

I don't speak Arabic myself, but searching for this name finds quite a lot of Arabic web sites that use it. For example, here it is used by the official Palestinian news agency. So it is hard to accept a claim that it is ungrammatical. 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. Zero 13:30, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
That's probably a mistake, most sources say "خليل الرحمن" not "الخليل الرحمن". Including sources from the same agency.

It just doesn't sound correct to any person who speak Arabic to say "Al-Khalil Al-Rahman", instead, it is "Khalil Al-Rahman" which means friend of Al-Rahman. While Al-Khalil Al-Rahman would mean The friend Al-Rahman which would be like referring to Al-Rahman (God) as a friend, not to another person as a friend of God.
 41.47.212.155 (talk) 12:41, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
@Zero0000: Al-Khalil Al-Rahman doesn't sound gramatically correct alone indeed. 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. Makeandtoss (talk) 15:49, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

What is the connection between this Beit Romano here, and "the British police station at Beit Romano" from the 1929 Hebron massacre? Arminden (talk) 02:18, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Hebron

It’s not professional to say “Palestinian city” דולב חולב (talk) 21:10, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes I agree, can this point of concern be addressed? What do others think? 2600:1008:A103:D3DC:6DC6:8134:14DA:1674 (talk) 09:04, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
It appears factual and supported by the sources. If your concerns fall within the parameters of the Israel–Palestinian conflict then it is not permitted for this discussion to be had by non-extended confirmed users. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:10, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
Could you elaborate? The Great Mule of Eupatoria (talk) 07:34, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
No need to elaborate. The most recent academic i.e.,'professional', study of the city in English is Tamara Neuman's, Settling Hebron: Jewish Fundamentalism in a Palestinian City, University of Pennsylvania Press, 978-0-812-24995-8 2018. And if you don't trust the title see p.7. That 1 in 270 Hebronites happen to be Jewish doesn't change things, anymore than Craigieburn ceases to be a Victorian/Australian township because 10% of the population is Punjabi, Baba Buddha bless'em.Nishidani (talk) 11:56, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
Even if Craigieburn was 100% Punjabi, it would still be an Australian city. Even if Tamara's next book is called "Finding Love in Craigieburn, a Palestinian City" it will still be Australian.

In first para “compromising” should be “comprised” - the area H2 is comprised of 20% of the city. Matruman (talk) 20:48, 30 June 2024 (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)
