 * Symbol voting keep.svg New enough, long enough. No disputes, tags or obvious bias. Pictures have appropriate licensing. Cannot check the hook or for close paraphrasing as all sources are either offline or in Hebrew, so assuming good faith there. Freikorp (talk) 15:19, 29 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg But surely there were Jewish neighbourhoods outside the walls of Jerusalem in antiquity? This hook may need some refinement. Gatoclass (talk) 03:41, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg ALT1: ... that the land purchased for the Hasidic neighborhood of Kirya Ne'emana in Jerusalem also accommodated housing for Syrian, Iraqi, Persian, Georgian, and Caucasian Jews? Yoninah (talk) 11:51, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm being picky here, and correct me if I've missed something, but though the article states that only 30 of the planned 60 houses in Kirya Ne'emana were constructed (implying there was plenty of land left over nearby) the information regarding Georgian and Caucasian Jews just states "another neighborhood, Eshel Avraham, was erected next to Kirya Ne'emana for Georgian and Causasian Jews." Whilst it is clear that the neighbourhood is next to Kirya Ne'emanaIt, it doesn't seem to specifically state that the neighbourhood is in the same land block that was purchased by Nissan Beck. Perhaps you could just clarify this in the 'History' section, or you could just provide an inline citation to the sentence regarding additional housing in the intro paragraph. I've added this article to my watch list, so I will await your reply. Alternatively have you considered just rewording your original hook to state the time period (thereby ruling out any concerns about potential ancient neighbourhoods?

 * You're right about the alt, Friekorp. I haven't been so awake today. I like your suggestion about tweaking the original hook, and I fixed the article to reflect:
 * ALT2: ... that Kirya Ne'emana was one of six Jewish neighborhoods built outside the Walls of Jerusalem in the 1870s? Yoninah (talk) 16:20, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
