I feel like the Cleanup sign should be added; this article, especially in the PPN B section of the article.

Casino
I have removed the Casino info section from the article. This doesn't belong in the entry for the city of Jericho. Here it is for the record:
 * On September 16, 1998, a medium-sized casino (35 tables (later increased several times) and 220 slot machines) and hotel (220 rooms), jointly called Oasis, were opened on the southern outskirts of Jericho. Owned by the Palestine Investment Fund, as well as foreign investors including Austrian financier Martin Shlaff and South African financier Cyril Kern, and operated by Casinos Austria, the project was the largest private employer in the West Bank with over 1000 local and foreign workers (mainly croupiers). The casino/hotel was supposed to be the first stage of the Jericho Resort Village including a convention center, golf course, a cultural activities center and a Swiss Austrian cable car that links Old Jericho(10000 BC) with the Mount of Temptation where Jesus fasted for fourty days.
 * For the few years of its existence, it attracted mainly Israeli gamblers. After the outbreak of the Al-Aqsa Intifada in September 2000, Oasis continued to operate with many Israeli gamblers still coming to gamble with the assurance of the Palestinian government for safety of patrons. Soon after, militants used the high-rise hotel to fire on Israeli Army forces who returned fire damaging the structure. The Palestinian forces abandoned the site and the damage was repaired. A lull in the violence allowed speculation of a reopening, the construction on the widening expansion to Route 1 was also renewed in anticipation, but the casino/hotel, still a prominent landmark, have since remained idle.
 * Hamas, who originally opposed the opening of the casino, refuses to reopen it while heading the Palestinian government.

The naming of the site
There are two reasons for questioning whether this site has been properly identified; 1. The biblical narrative does not equate the current location with the few topographical clues contained within scripture. a. Its west of Gilgal(uphill). b. It has a spring. In desert regions it is common to find water in sloping draws, which also implies it was uphill from the Jordanian plain. 2. Tactical considerations exclude its placement on an unprotected plain. The only way to reconcile the narrative with sound tactics is to place it on one of several nearby elevated plains, any of which can include nearby springs which will almost completely confirm a new, more viable excavation site.

Jericho is a city in the state of Israel, earlier controlled by the kingdom of Judea. Nowadays governed by the Palestinian authority and NOT by the “state of Palestine”. This is a false information because there is no state of Palestine yet. 147.235.209.87 (talk) 14:36, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Grammatical error
The opening paragraph refers to Palestine as “the Palestine,” which is obviously not correct and should be corrected to just “Palestine.” LordOfWalruses (talk) 00:38, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Add citations to various statements in the sections on Pre-Pottery Neolithic A and Pre-Pottery Neolithic B. Many of these claims have citations on their main pages that could be copied over. ApolloEndymion (talk) 22:14, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
