Malikiyya or Malkiyya

Morris has it as Malikiyya Birth p 180 etc etc Ashley kennedy3 (talk) 16:55, 21 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

The report of the 1931 census has it as El Malikiya in English, Hebrew and Arabic. (In the latter two languages, the L has under it the vowel point for "i".) Also Khalidi's book agrees with the census in English and Arabic (he doesn't give Hebrew). Also a British topological map (circa 1939) and the Survey of Palestine map (1944) write Malikiya. In earlier times, Hütteroth and Le Strange both use Malikiyya. It is also possible to find Malkiya and its variations in various places, but it seems that the more authoritative sources generally use Malikiya. (The most prestigious exception I can find is the Survey of Western Palestine, 1870s: Malkiyeh.) So I propose to move it back to Khalidi's spelling, which is "al-Malikiyya".

Belongs to Israel

Hi guys, I can understand this might be a polemic issue, but shouldn't it say to which country it belongs today?

I don't care about History, rights or wrongs, but the fact is that if I want to travel there, which country should I go to?

It took me a while to find out that it belongs (or is under the occupation of, I don't care) Israel, and I think this should be stated somehow. Otherwise, the article is clearly incomplete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.84.164.255 (talk) 20:12, 3 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Removing some rubbish

Some anon is inserting this into multiple articles:

Despite that this village was placed on the Israeli side of the Blue Line by the United Nations in the year 2000, the Lebanese government, contrary to international law, still demands the return of this village.^[1]^[2]

How can a 1999 statement be in violation of a 2000 agreement? And how can a press release of someone who hasn't been in the government since 2000 be evidence for government policy in 2013? The answer in both cases is obvious. As for the 2001 source, it says "the part of this village which is situated within the Lebanese territories" thus contradicting the claim.

Actually the return of these villages is a Hizbullah policy. Zero^talk 09:22, 15 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
