Talk:Irbid

Birthplace of Nittai of Arbela?

It seems more likely that he was born in Arbel in Galilee. Mdmcginn (talk) 22:00, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

View of Jabal El-Sheikh?

At article wrote: "The city has the nearby all-seasons snow-tipped mountain of Jabal El-Sheikh." I don't know about Irbid but this is very strange, even the south of Golan Heights doesn't have this and their between Hermon and Irbid... Troll Refaim 20:20, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

The claim was in the original article before I edited it. I assumed it was true but there are no real references to back it up. And i suppose how the original author defined "near". - Master Of Ninja 08:11, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm from Irbid and lived there for 10 years. Regarding the Shikh Mountain, it can be seen from Irbid in a clear summer day. I deleted the see also section as well some othe places that hold no historical or tourism significance.you can contact me on the arabic wilipedia A Obeidat

If memory serves wasnt Irbid the location of where the PLO set up their defacto state during the 1970 civil war? If so that seems to be a major history point to add?

Copyedit

The original writer of this article does not seem to be a native English speaker i.e. no 's where ownership is implied in addition to word choice, order, and general setup.^{T ALK}•^QR_C2006•¢ʘñ†®¡ß§ 22:12, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I removed the flag... if the article still needs more CE work, an interested editor may want to add it to the article itself, perhaps? :)sinneed (talk) 22:44, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Cafes

130 internet cafes within one km??? Really? Jessicapierce 04:13, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Agenda item

"Although the number of academic institutions is high in the city, it is still lacking the cooperation between the universities and the different economical sects for research and development. As indicated by the no presence of any effective research and development center existing in Irbid."
I dropped this pair of sentences, it seems to be a push to get an R&D center for Irbid. It would need sourcing and relevance, I should think, to be readded. I won't kill it again if someone disagrees, but I will tag it. sinneed (talk) 22:50, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Pulling content that was fact-flagged in 2007.

I won't delete it again if it is readded, but it really should be possible to source it.
", while being less affected by the urbanization and growth that have impacted larger cities such as Amman. "
and "University Street is also well-known because it is less than 1 km long but has more than 130 Internet cafés, making it number one in the world in Internet cafés by density."

Irbid refugee camp

There is no mention of the Irbid refugee camp in this article. Is the template for Palestinian refugee camps appropriate here? Or should it just be appended at the Irbid camp article, if such an article is ever written? --20:35, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
