New map: based on what?
hi. The new map you have introduced is graphically nice, but what is it based on? The article doesn't support much of it, and it lacks a lot of essential information. Can you please fix that? I'm afraid that, as things are standing now, the map cannot be used and must be removed. Thank you. If you don't mind, I would like to invite to this conversation. These are issues I can see immediately, you might find more while working on the map. Thanks again, Arminden (talk) 08:33, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) The large territory north of Caesarea Maritima (in red on the map): really hers? Based on what source? Nothing mentioned in the text, also elsewhere. We must have it covered in the article, with a reliable source please.
 * 2) Where is Iamnia? That's her most important property and it's missing.
 * 3) Where is Phasaelis? Her second-most important property is also missing.
 * 4) Why Ascalon (Ashkelon) with an entire territory around, when the text only says that she received "a royal habitation at Ascalon"? Quite possible that the hinterland was part of the gift, but pls explain, with a good source, in the article.
 * 5) Altogether, the territory south of Iamnia (north) comprising Azotus (centre) and Ascalon (south) stretches very far down, including Gaza and Raphia. Without a source and a mention in the article this cannot be left standing.
 * 6) Gaza and Raphia have to be marked, IF they did indeed belong to her.
 * 7) Why Hebew names rather than contemporary Greek ones (Azotus for Ashdod, etc.)? I would agree that using the Hebrew name in brackets after the Greek can help users find the places on modern maps, but like this it's not user-friendly as it doesn't correlate with the text.
 * 8) Phasaelis is very close to Archelais, part of the realm of Herod Archelaus. Archelais should be on the map, as it is more relevant here than, say, the Forest of Jardes or Masada.
