Talk:Khirbat Qumbaza

A village?
I can't find any evidence that Khirbat Qumbaza was actually a village. From contemporary maps, it does not look like one, and I don't have access to the sources provided in the article (not that there are any inline citations, so they're irrelevant anyway). I'd like clarification on the subject, since I'm writing on a related subject now which might need information about this village/site. —Ynhockey (Talk) 21:26, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, both Morris and Khalidi refer to it, so I will remove the tag as soon as I have added the rest of the information. Cheers, Huldra (talk) 02:00, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, the new information is interesting. I'd still like to know more though: why isn't its population separate? Is it possible that it was actually a private estate and not a village? When exactly was it depopulated, and under what circumstances? From the information given in the article, it's still very difficult to understand what Khirbat Qumbaza really was. Again, contemporary British maps don't show this place as a village. —Ynhockey (Talk) 12:25, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Name
Every major source I have seen on the subject names this Khirbat Qumbaza (Ruins of Qumbaza), not Qumbaza. Why the article move? —Ynhockey (Talk) 13:54, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
