Merging of old and new epithets
User:Zero0000, shalom. I noticed your contributions, and which, as usual, are mostly pertinent. In the case of "West Bank," I am not saying that we should never use it. Here, on Wikipedia, we do use it. In fact, it is used in the opening of the lede paragraph. But is this saying that if we use it, we cannot also merge in the general body of the text the old references (namesakes) for the place, namely, Judea and Samaria Area? In fact, we do find articles in Wikipedia where these appellations are also used. The two naming conventions, in this case, do NOT contradict each other.Davidbena (talk) 19:11, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * User:Davidbena, please read Naming conventions (West Bank), Huldra (talk) 20:51, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Huldra. So, if we were to mention the place in a general historical context as "Samaria", with of course qualification, as stipulated in #6, then it can be used, in accordance with #1: "References for antiquity follow sources and use Judea and Samaria for the period up to the first century CE," seeing that it is indeed mentioned in Samaritan records as existing well-before the 1st-century CE. However, we cannot use Judea and Samaria Area, except when discussing specifically the administrative area of Judea and Samaria, such as is defined in #5.Davidbena (talk) 22:09, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I believe that #5 is meant for Israeli settlements, like Ariel (city), etc., and not for Palestinian places, like this place (whatever their history was 2000 years ago), Huldra (talk) 22:16, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree with you on that.Davidbena (talk) 22:30, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * User:Davidbena, what you are doing now seem excessive, though. It is after all mentioned both in the info box, and in the template at the bottom,Huldra (talk) 22:47, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The info box also has West Bank, and West Bank is mentioned also in the lede paragraph. I see nothing wrong with doing this, as it gives greater clarity, in my view. But, as I said, I agree with you, that this should apply only to Israeli settlements in the West Bank.Davidbena (talk) 22:53, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
