Two Al-Mazars

Please see Al-Mazar, Haifa. It seems to have information about this al-Mazar (like the May 30th depopulation and being at the top of Mount Gilboa (which is impossible, as it was located on the coast and Gilboa is not). Nuris is also inland.

In other words, we seem to have gotten it right in this article, but that article is in sore need of attention and fact-checking. Any takers? Tiamut^talk 16:06, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Working on it! Lots about the Al-Mazar, Haifa in Petersen: I just have to update the Guerin-stuff-first...Huldra (talk) 16:23, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed all the info about this al-Mazar from there and added what Morris has to say about it. Looking forward to your additions there dear Huldra. And for a second set of eyes to double check I that I did fix it. Can't believe I mixed them up in the first place! Tiamut^talk 16:36, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is sooo easy to mix these articles up! I put a lot into Julis, Gaza at one time...which belonged in Julis, etc. And I totally mixed up the different Burj-villages; I just found out when when I added "Morris -number" to them. Etc, etc. Ah well; easy to fix, though, when you find out :) Huldra (talk) 16:54, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
