Change title: orthography, form[edit]

a) Orthography: it's archaeological with -ae-.

b) A nahal is a wadi or stream. Nahal Oren has its own importance as such, see for instance Atlit Yam. The usual Wikipedia style in such cases is

@Zero0000: may I bother you again...? Thanks. Arminden (talk) 18:57, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The version with a missing "a" is an option in US English, but even there the majority usage has the "a". Moving. Did you realise that you can move pages too? Zero^talk 01:11, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Yes indeed, I did realise it - remember when I tried, screwed it up and had to yell for help? I know, I know, shame on me. Shows who's the actual zero.Arminden (talk) 01:25, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind you asking. Anyway I think that you can't move an article to a name that already exists, even if it's just a redirect, though I'm not sure as the technical aspects change from time to time. Zero^talk 01:39, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Which cave?[edit]

Nahal Oren has several caves, as pointed out by Rotem in her BibleWalks blog. It seems that what she calls Job's Cave, or the Lower Nahal Oren Cave, is the one the article is about. But confusion is guaranteed, since the other northern-bank cave, Rotem's "Upper Oren Cave", was also inhabited by prehistoric man. The southern-bank ("Finger") cave is less of a problem, since it's on the wrong side of the wadi. And I'm sure there are more caves in Nahal Oren, probably all with some skeletons in the closet. So identifying the right cave is essential. Thanks to Hanay for adding the picture, which also shows the "Lower Nahal Oren Cave". There seems to be some consensus here. Still, an academic source could add some credence, preferably with a drawing or photo of the cave and terrace(s). Just thinking aloud. Cheers, Arminden (talk) 18:41, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
