pre-1948 at this place[edit]

A 1935 map shows buildings at this place labeled "Nur ash Shams (Jail Labour Co. No. 1)". This seems like a prison camp of some sort. Details welcome. Zero^talk 00:06, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:Governate of Toulkarem.png Nominated for speedy Deletion[edit]

An image used in this article, File:Governate of Toulkarem.png, has been nominated for speedy deletion at Wikimedia Commons for the following reason: Copyright violations

What should I do?

Don't panic; deletions can take a little longer at Commons than they do on Wikipedia. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion (although please review Commons guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.

If the image is non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)
If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Commons Undeletion Request

Nur Shams, Tulkarm → Nur Shams – This is the only location named Nur Shams, so no need for the disambiguation tag. The relevant guideline is WP:PLACEDAB. My request for an uncontroversial technical move had been declined. Crash48 (talk) 06:38, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:OVERPRECISION. Not sure why it was declined. Seems to me like an uncontroversial request to reverse a redirect. Station1 (talk) 19:53, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
