ARIJ mixup/overlap

I can't make out the difference between Marah Ma'alla and this place in the ARIJ info.

I took the liberty of labeling your links for easy reference; I hope that's ok. It is quite confusing. The two documents A1 and A2 are essentially the same except for the name, but neither explains the name difference. The only place I can see where one of them uses the name of the other is that in the images of A1 the name Marah Ma'Alla appears in the images on pages 4 and 6 even though the captions say Marah Rabah. (If anything, this proves that a name change was in the direction of Marah Ma'Alla became Marah Rabah, but file A1 was created just one hour after file A2.) The aerial photo of "Marah Rabah" at Google Maps matches B1, while the aerial photos in A1 and A2 match B2. I can't see how these are aerial photos of the same place but its hard to be sure (scale, orientation, date, etc). Zero^talk 01:23, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the pictures/ maps seem completely messed up, but

Marah Rabah is located 8.3km south of Bethlehem, and has a pop. of 1,320;
Marah Ma’alla located 7km south of Bethlehem, and has a pop. of 685

Both of them are noted on this map, east of Umm Salumuna. But from that picture, it looks as if they have missed Marah Rabah; it should be south-east of Umm Salumuna, not north-east. Huldra (talk) 21:26, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes, now I see picture B2 matches Google maps here, which is where your map says Marah Ma'alla. Google maps doesn't name it. Zero^talk 05:52, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, so basically, the "only" thing which is wrong, is all the maps in "Marah Rabah"; that is, A1: Map 1, Map 2, and Map 3. They are all copied, wrongly, from A2. Huldra (talk) 20:40, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
