pictures..
editIf you go to http://lcweb2.loc.gov/pp/mdbquery.html and search for Samwil, you get lots of pictures from Nabi Samwil, mostly from 1917, as there apparently were major battles between the Ottomans and the British here. See eg. http://memory.loc.gov/pnp/matpc/12300/12315v.jpg Regards, Huldra (talk) 02:33, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Move
editThis move, while well-intentioned, is not a good choice. The English transliteration of the Arabic the prophet Samuel should not have its primary target be a redirect to this prophet when the term is used in English for the village in the West Bank (eg [1], [2], [3], [4]. I am asking an admin revert the move, and if the user wishes to move the page he open a request as outlined at WP:RM. nableezy - 08:46, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
- Agreed. The term "Samwil" alone could be redirected to the article on the prophet, but in Western sources, "Nabi Samwil" refers to the village. I just moved it back. --Al Ameer son (talk) 17:31, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks Al Ameer. Nice to see you around nableezy - 17:33, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
Typo in SWP
editThe picture on SWP III, p. 150 is supposed to be Nabi Samwil: of course it is not. This is a typo from SWP, the picture is actually of the Maqam at Sar'a. See Talk:Sar'a. Cheers, Huldra (talk) 21:41, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
Municipal boundaries of Jerusalem
editThe shrine is not within the municipal boundaries of Jerusalem. The source is wrong about that. Actually you can see the municipal boundary as a thin grey line on the map presented there. I checked it on two good quality modern maps too. For example see the yellow boundary in the Jerusalem inset of this 2014 Btselem map (if it doesn't break your computer). The shrine is in the "seam zone" though. Zerotalk 02:23, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

1967 War
editThe article claims, based on a dead link, that 1000 inhabitants fled during the war. Two lines earlier, it is stated that a mere 6 years earlier the population was less than 170. This village had around 200 inhabitants throughout its recorded history Here come the Suns (talk) 15:39, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
- I added an Israeli source. There are possible explanations (including error) but without more evidence we follow the sources. Zerotalk 03:47, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
- It is still dubious, per the above. Here come the Suns (talk) 03:58, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
- Added a couple more sources, idk why the figure from Jordanian registry is low but if there 250-300 left after many fled in 67, it is certainly possible that the population was 1000. Selfstudier (talk) 11:53, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
