Geography[edit]

"Arabbuna is located 3km northeast to Faqqua and 2km northwest to Deir Ghazaleh"...according to a source in Hebrew.

Except it is not. It is located 3km northwest of Faqqua and 2km northeast of Deir Ghazaleh" Huldra (talk) 20:46, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My bad, not the source's.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 21:17, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

By the way there is a line I don't understand:

In 1838 it was noted as a place N 60° E of Jenin.

What does the 60° stands for? 60° Northeast of Jenin? Sounds like too much information.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 00:04, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Face north then turn 60° towards the east (i.e., clockwise). Then you are facing N 60° E. I'm not sure this detail should be in the article, though. Zero^talk 00:57, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I normally add Robinson and Smith, just to show that the place existed in 1838. But yeah, the level of detail is possibly excessive, perhaps change it to Northeast of Jenin? Huldra (talk) 20:36, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

demographics[edit]

To editor Bolter21: To editor Huldra:. About the article structure, there are some population sources that don't seem to fit into the existing section structure. Namely, there is a Jordanian census of 1961 and an Israeli census of 1967. I'm willing to add these, but we should decide on the article structure first. Should we have a "Demographics" section which has the earlier population figures as well? Zero^talk 00:44, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think having a demographics section is better, and the inclusion of a table might be even better, like the one in Jifna#Demographics.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 00:52, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind adding a table, like the one at Jifna#Demographics, but I hope that that would be in addition (and not instead of) the present information, Huldra (talk) 20:36, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Borders to the east and to the west (or vice versa)[edit]

Under the heading Geography, the text reads: "...bordered on the west by the Huhit river, on the west by Wadi Abu Jabir..." The accompanying mapquest.com map (from the ext link "Welcome to Arabbuna" courtesy of Palestine Remembered) doesn't show rivers and wadis, so I couldn't determine which of these is the eastern border. Requires clarification and the text corrected accordingly. -- Deborahjay (talk) 13:14, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
