Talk:Kinneret Farm
Coordinates incorrect
editI just created the page. I used the coordinates which appear both on Google Maps, where the Farm is nicely marked ("Kinneret Courtyard" in blue), and on the older Hebrew Wiki page. But - the coordinates are wrong, lead to the kibbutz gate of Kvutzat Kinneret, some 800 m south (SSW, to be precise) as the crow flies from the Farm. Don't know how to fix it. Anyone?

National Library URL inactive
edit@Davidbena: Hi. Here (13 Feb 2019, 18:32) you introduced as a source a map from the National Library. The URL is inactive. Also, what seems to be the URL ends in an unusual way, |FL21693860. Or isn't it meant as part of the URL? The Wiki URL template ignores everything placed behind a | sign, but I tried both, w and w/o it, and both are leading nowhere. Also, if you could please find it in the English version of the NLI website, rather than the Hebrew version, this would help non-Hebrew speakers among the editors reach it or related sources. Thank you! Arminden (talk) 15:15, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Arminden: Thanks for pointing this out to me. Yes, you're right. The link is now inactive. I think that we can still find another old map from the same period and insert its link as a substitute reference and which shows Mallaha. I'll work on it at the first available opportunity.Davidbena (talk) 15:48, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Davidbena: Hi. An online source w/o a link is useless. The current map is from a source that might be quite ephemeral, unlike (in principle) the National Library website. I'd prefer to leave the entire broken link as it was, with all the template-required details, as bots do react to the "dead" tag and try to find a new URL. The weird ending is the only real issue. Anyway, the whole template does have some value & a chance of being restored; now we have very little. I hope you agree. If not, re-revert and I won't argue, promise :) Regards, Arminden (talk) 18:51, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Davidbena: Fixed. URL update. David, I have put the access date of today because it's now that I have found the new URL, but if you know how to preserve the date you have first accessed it, please do put it in. Arminden (talk) 21:34, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
