[edit] depopulation

"David Ben-Gurion ordered the Palestinian village of Yibna to be depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War" unless someone can verify this, i'm going to change it to something like: "the village was depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War". Snafu25 09:32, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

After no comments, I reverted the depopulation statement to the way it was prior to what is written above. Snafu25 21:58, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arab Muslim

The terms "Arab Muslim" and "Muslim Arab" are used several times in the article. Are they interchangeable?

The implication seems to be that: 1) All Palestinians are Muslims. 2) All Muslims involved in the seventh century war were Arabs.

The first is certainly false and the second would require some citation at least.

It is also odd that only two military conquests of the village in question are mentioned. Is the reader to assume that the two did not change hands - even once - between the seventh and twentieth century?

[edit] Article name

Yavne?! It has a he on the end, so surely Yavneh--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 09:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

• No it doesn't - see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Hebrew)#He at the ends of words. It should only be used in cases where the "magic E" of English would lead to confusion over pronounciation if an h was omitted, e.g. Rameh. пﮟოьεԻ 57
  • So how is Yavneh different? I do have sources that use Yavneh--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 10:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Because there are two vowels between the a and the e, there is no chance of people thinking that the "a" in Yavne would be like the one in "Dane", whereas in the case of Rameh, losing the h at the end would make it looked like it rhymed with "Fame". пﮟოьεԻ 57 11:32, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
