"The northern Samarian part of the West Bank"
I wonder, is there really a reliable source for the claim that a part of the West Bank is called "Samaria"? To me, it appears to be Israel-specific (and thus POV) terminology. I suggest simply "The northern part of the West Bank". MeteorMaker (talk) 09:59, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * yes - the article uses terminology which is used here. NoCal100 (talk) 15:08, 17 February 2009 (UTC)


 * That map is a bilingual map, showing what the areas are called locally (and it has never been in question that the area is called "Samaria"/"Shomron" by Israelis). The CIA, the organization that issued the map 15 years ago, never uses the term "Samaria" (see for yourself in their online archive, so it's clearly a misrepresentation of the purpose of the map to claim that the CIA uses this Israel-specific terminology. Here's another example of a bilingual map, you would not use that to claim that "Exhibition Center" is a Chinese word. MeteorMaker (talk) 16:00, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

for the record
It used to say (unsourced) that this hilltop is called Jabl al-Akra. Actually it is called Dhahrat Mughr el Jabri and Jebel el Aqra is the next hilltop to the south. Zerotalk
