consistant spelling

I think the spelling of the name "Djerba" should be consistant throughout the article.

Star Wars

I can't understand which Star Wars episode was made here? The 1^st or the 4^th? When somebody knows something about that, please write me on my own, Hungarian discussion, because I have been translating the article into Hungarian (Magyar), and I don't know which is the real data. Thank you: Ferike333

I think I soved the problem. You may think me silly, but I knew that not so soon. The first Star Wars film was the New Hope, and what’s now called first episode is The Phantom Menace, but that’s made later than the New Hope. I hope you understood me (I'm not a perfect English-speeker, but I'm a good English learner xD). Thank you: Ferike333 ^{Discussion (in Hungarian)}

Jewish History

I have a source that says this island was home to a Jewish colony for almost 2000 years after the Roman invasion of Palestine. Is this really true because I'd think this article's history section would mention at least something about it.--$1LENCE D00600D (talk) 23:29, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

History section needs more work

(1) What is the name of the city or town on the island when it was under control of the Carthaginians prior to there take over by Romans?69.208.14.60 (talk) 01:00, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(2) Please mention the feat of corsair Turgut Reis, who in October 1550, "had all his ships dragged overland through hastily dug canals and on a heavily greased boardway to the other side of the island."^[1] The Wikipedia article states that, "Turgut Reis was repairing his ships at the beach of Djerba. On October, [pirate hunter] Andrea Doria appeared with his fleet at Djerba and blocked the entrance of the island's lagoon with his ships, trapping the beached galleys of Turgut Reis inside the Channel of Cantera."

    I cannot find further information about Channel of Cantera. Based upon a modern topographic map^[2], one would conclude it is only the water from the Gulf of Boughrara east to the larger Mediterranean, passing by the city of El Kantara. However, another map^[3] Turgut Reis likely used, portrays the waterways south of Djerba more like a channel than of a gulf with two outlets to the sea. Thus I think Andrea Doria anchored his ships in the northern outlet, between the islands of Guettaietel Baharia and Guettaia Gueblia, while Turgut Reis escaped via the lagoon on the southeastern side of Djerba island.

Djerba in Roman era

What is the three major town's name in Roman era? Are they Meninx, Tipasa and Girba as the first external link says? Many Roman era maps show Girba in this location. Is Girba the largest town in the island in that time? Djeba is called Meninx until the third century. Then what's the name of this island between third century to Arab conquest? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qijiang ok (talk • contribs) 18:42, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
