[edit] Dina?

This description of Shechem does not mention Dina. Should it?

Mayhap. Goferit! Tomer^talk 11:12, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Ok all about the Bible, What about the REAL history which is supposed to be based on scince and archeology. accourding to my readings there is no evidence about the life of what so called Jacob in the archeology of Tell Balata. The only evidence is that it was distroyed by some berberians called "Chabero" in the year 1367 B.C.

[edit] Merge?

Why is this article separate from Nablus? Tomer ^TALK 11:16, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

Because "Nablus was built in the year 72 by the emperor Titus as a Roman city named Flavia Neapolis ("New city of the imperator Flavius") west of the site of the Biblical city of Shechem." As the opening of the History subsection makes clear the two cities are not just stages of a single city that flow together, such as the history of Aleppo, among many similar examples. --Wetman 13:32, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Shechem is an archeological site. It is not part of Nablus. Merging this article with Nablus would put a lot of needless archeological information in the article. Therefore, I agree with Wetman that they should be separate. It seems that the only reason people have for merging it with Nablus is that in Hebrew, Nablus is called Shechem. Here's a source [1] that confirms my view.Heraclius 18:27, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvio

I removed the first paragraph of text because it was copy and pasted from a variety of copyrighted sources.

See Talk:Nablus#Possible_Plagiarism for details and links to the original sources. -- Jebro 04:22, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
