Infobox oddities

Latest comment: 13 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In the infobox we read:

Šibbli - ʔumm ˀel-Rárem (Israeli pronunciation)

Also spelled Shibli-Umm al-Janam (officially)

Both of the above data are entirely counter-intuitive. While, in the first case, the first R of "Rárem" is an expected Hebrew approximation of Arabic غ, the second R is apparently an error, as there is no difficulty in pronouncing ن/נ. I'll correct this now.
The second case is more problematic. Transliterating غ as J appears counter-intuitive, but an editor placed "(officially)" after it, so I'll request a cite for the moment. Thanks for any help. --gråb whåt you cån (talk) 23:37, 2 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Name of town

Latest comment: 12 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

The name of this town is Arab al-Shibli. Google books brings back 75 hits for that name in quotes and 1 hit for Shibli Umm al-Ghanem. The page should be moved to the most commonly used name in reliable secondary scholarly sources. Any objections? Tiamut^talk 20:28, 14 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Upon further investigation, it seems that Arab al-Shibli was merged with Umm al-Ghanem by the Israeli authorities to form a local council with this new name. Our article briefly mentions this but mistranscribes the name of ?arab al-Shibli as simply Shibli. I'll try to expand the article with more info on the history of these places.

Kh. Umm el Ghanem (or Ghanam) is in the usual places like SWP. I don't see Shibli on any maps, though it is mentioned as a tribe. Zero^talk 23:06, 14 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
