[edit] Wikify

I am Wikifying this article by sections. If you feel I have erred in either style or substance (for instance, if my links change the meaning of a sentence), please correct whatever you find. However, please note that if I leapt to an errant conclusion based on the context, it is likely that other readers will do the same; I recommend changing the wording and not just the link.

As I find things that need attention by anyone with subject knowledge (which is definitely NOT me), I'll post them here. To wit:

Topo Section: Need to create separate articles or stubs for Mount Herman (done), Mount Meron and Cape Carmel. I did not create them because, unless they have content, they will be VfD'ed instantly for lack of hits. There may be alternative names for these features that could be linked, or other ways to phrase the article if the features are not notable.Kevin/Last1in 18:43, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Climate Section: The context of the phrase, "...and the subtropical humidity of the Levant or eastern Mediterranean...," makes it hard to wikify, since the usage of Levant here does not mesh cleanly with Levant. Is there another word or phrase that could be used to identify the area of "subtropical humidity"? Kevin/Last1in 19:56, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested merge

Much has already been said. I think that the article is valid if fixed up properly. Currently, it seems more geography oriented but could have more history/bible references inserted to explain why the term settlement is the literal translation of the Hebrew 'hitnachlut' which does refer to the settling of any area (not only in 'disputed territories'). I reverted the redirect since the compromise of moving the contents to Geography of Israel was not even performed yet. I also added a merge template to make the move a bit more official and binding and copied this section to the destination talk page. --Shuki 17:26, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

(after conflict) Shuki, please do not revert before a different consensus is reached than the previous one. I have explained the concept with tons of references but to no avail. People remain confused about the concepts. I want to move on. Do me a favor this time. The discussions are old and closed. gidonb 17:33, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree that this now belongs to the Geography of Israel. gidonb 17:33, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I also do not want to discuss this. Just continue editing whatever and please leave my redirect alone. It was according to the outcome of an old discussion. I usually have no issues with your edits. On the contrary. They are very good. gidonb 17:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

The articles were already merged. I have transfered the text and inculded it in the article. gidonb 17:44, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Still missing in the article

After I started the human geography section with the text from the other article and some data that was already there, who picks up the challenge and continues expending this part of the article? Most of the economic geography is missing, as is population geography, transportation, and more. gidonb 17:51, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Climate

Could someone knowledgeable check the average temperatures added by the IP, and convert the corresponding degrees Fahrenheit? Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 04:15, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
