Talk:Shomron Regional Council

Spelling
Spelling of names in English varies a lot. I added some text with names as they were spelled in the actual references, which in some cases differed from names already in the article. You can try to uniformize the English names within the article, but there is no guarantee the name previously used in the article is standard or most used. --JWB (talk) 22:47, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

PLEASE CORRECT "RAISED" TO "RAZED" -- YOU CONFUSE THE TWO WORDS. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.214.172.26 (talk) 09:59, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

cut&paste
I mistakenly tagged revision 181001500 by 212.38.141.173 (talk) as copyvio. In reality, it is a poor cut&paste (footnote numbers left in, not wikified, not directly relevant to the article, etc...) from the Israeli settlement article. --Shuki (talk) 09:23, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

What sandbox?

Your personal one. User_page. --Shuki (talk) 23:37, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * What is your objection to the map? --JWB (talk) 23:46, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * It didn't fit on the page and showed up under the text, but now that I went back it seems ok so maybe it was a problem in my browser. But now that I went back, I can confirm that it is suitably not suitable for the Shomron page. It (from the UN) does not show the whole territory, and it is heavily weighed on the pro-Arab POV. Settlements are in darkened colours and the names are hard to see. Arab village names are emphasized instead. --Shuki (talk) 07:15, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I cropped this and the other map in Israeli settlement myself from a UN map in order to show the densest areas of settlements. This allows more detail than if we included more territory with few settlements. Nevertheless we can try a different crop if you prefer.


 * Settlements are in bold colors and are dense within the shown area, so I don't think this is deemphasizing settlements. Are you saying that Palestinian towns should be excluded? That is already the case with the other map recently added to the page. Even if one is only interested in Israeli settlements, the Palestinian population, the Green Line, the barrier, and the terrain are all major influences on the settlements and are valuable relevant information.


 * I agree legibility is less than ideal for some names, although most are legible. --JWB (talk) 16:45, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not saying that Arab localities should not be included but the emphasis should be on the communities of the RC itself, including all its land, and the boundaries of its territory. I think a map similar to the one on the West Bank page (that excludes Jewish areas) is a better option. --Shuki (talk) 19:41, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've looked in the past for a map showing the boundaries between this regional council and the Benjamin and Jordan Valley regional councils, and was never able to find them. If you can find such a map, that would be great. But when nobody has been able to find and add one, you shouldn't delete maps for not having this unavailable data. The remaining boundary of the Shomron Regional Council is the Green Line, which is shown on the map you removed, but not shown on the map you didn't remove. The map you didn't remove also appears to be not to scale, does not carry size, boundary or other information on each settlement other than the name, terrain, etc. It has little more information than the text listing of settlements that was already in the article.


 * The UN map puts great emphasis on the Israeli settlements, showing them in a much bolder color than other features.


 * As said I'm willing to do a new crop of the original West Bank map for this page if that will satisfy you. Showing more land area with no Israeli settlements would seem to be giving greater emphasis to the more Arab-populated areas, contrary to your other complaint. --JWB (talk) 19:49, 17 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree with you about the map that is still there and already commented to the authour, but left it for now so as not to breach 'bite the new guys'. I disagree about your desire to add a poor map since a good one does not exist yet and a new crop will not improve anything. The UN map is cluttered and while the settlements' territories are shown, most names are swallowed in similar dark colours, and the green line is not the boundary of the RC. The UN map is simply a map of the area, not the RC territory. If a proper map does not exist, there are ways to get one; either ask someone to do the work, or email the RC for one, or check their website and get permission to post it. --Shuki (talk) 21:38, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

territory
The regional council is explicitly not involved with Palestinian territories and has full jurisdiction on Israeli area C only. It has perhaps partial jurisdiction on the religious areas specified in the Oslo accords in Area B. --Shuki (talk) 22:09, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Changes needed
Hi. This article as of now is very odd indeed. I'm going to try to change it, so that a normal reader can understand what the Shomron Regional Council actually is. Cheers, Ajnem (talk) 15:17, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Done. The map would look better in the infobox, but that's asking too much. Ajnem (talk) 17:48, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Nofei Nehemia
I am not sure why but Nofei Nehemia appears to be listed differently than everything else. In the template at the bottom they are lumped in with outposts, however in the article above its listed as a settlement. The Nofei Nehemia article itself calls it an outpost. Is there a reason its classified with settlements? Due to this the article says 30 settlements but the template shows 29 non-outposts. Which is correct? - Galatz (talk) 20:19, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Based on everything I can find online this is an outpost not a settlement. I am going to update it as such since I haven't heard anything from anyone else. If I am incorrect please let me know - Galatz (talk) 00:24, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
