Pictures
Lots of more historical pictures can be uploaded from the Mattson collection [http://www.loc.gov/pictures/related/?fi=subject&q=West%20Bank--Bethel. here]. Cheers, Huldra (talk) 18:12, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Regarding the Origin part
I propose removing this text :

"In the early 19th century, people from Transjordan and other places migrated to Beitin and a Mosque was built near the site of the old church"

and replacing it with that :

"According to legends of the village's elders in a 1960 study; the origin of the first modern inhabitants, the Jarab'a Hamula (clan) originate from around the portions of Jabal Jalbu' (Mount Gilboa) Located in northern Transjordan, with an influx of Qaysi refugees from the neighboring village of Burqa arriving some time later. "

It's much more informative and source-true. The Mosque part was removed, seeing that source 16 doesn't link to any page (actual article on the village is in this link ) , and claims Saladin turned the church that was supposedly in the 19th century , in 1894  ! (..Even assuming the 8 is a typographical error : Saladin died in 1193 ; not 1194 . source itself doesn't cite other sources).

Hope the proposal is applied.
