Second name[edit]

Can someone provide a source stating whether this citron is also known as a Palestinian or an Israeli citron. Sepsis II (talk) 00:21, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I've seen a few weak sources using the term Palestinian citron, and none using the term Israeli citron, but I must be missing some sources as there are a couple editors who must know the real name is not Palestinian citron but Israeli citron.

Either remove the name completely, or leave it as it is. Do not change Palestinian to 'Israeli' unless you are *also* changing the Hebrew translation. Otherwise its saying Israeli Citron in English but effectively 'Palestinian Citron' in Hebrew. Which is ridiculous. Only in death does duty end (talk) 14:37, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe after 1948, it's known by both names? Btw, the article has had the name "Palestinian" in Hebrew since 2008: [2]. Chesdovi (talk) 16:50, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the name completely. Neither the Hebrew or English for "Palestinian citron" seems to be commonly used (the Hebrew got exactly 5 hits on google). Also this article is lacking in sources in general. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 03:31, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Does "Balady Citron" return any results? Try Baledi/Beledi. The term Balady was/is also used in reference to the local Orange variety. And presumably it is used in any Arab speaking country to define the native variety of any given fruit. That's why the article first stated: "The Balady of Palestine (my emphasis) was the Pitamless Israeli Citron which was native to Palestine." Now it misleadingly reads as if "Balady" is the name of the variety itself: "Balady citron is a variety of citron, or etrog, grown in Palestine and Israel". I feel naming this page "Balady citron" which translates as "Local citron" is too much of a generalisation. It should be more specific to the region where it was grown and I suggest renaming the page "Palestinian citron". Sources I have found are listed below:

As always, some of your sources don't refer to the Balady citron, but when they say Palestinan Citron, they refer to any citrons grown. Specifically, read the Rav Kook reference you provided. He wrote that as an economic preference, he did not want to import citrons when local ones are available. That's like saying you want Red Delicious apples renamed to NY apples because people in NY prefer NY apples over imported apples. In addition, the common name of the citron is Balady citron and that is why it should not be renamed. Sir Joseph (talk) 14:41, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sir Joseph, your "as always" strikes me as a personal attack, and an untrue one at that.
Either way, Chesdovi provided 23 sources, and you have provided none. Since you state a view re the common name, please show us what you base that conclusion on.
Oncenawhile (talk) 14:47, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, in the mid-1800s there was one variety which was known as "native" to Palestine, which according to the article was called "Baledi" after other varieties were introduced from elsewhere. But for the rest of the world, it was know after the place from where it originated, similar to Corsican citron, Diamante citron, Greek citron, Moroccan citron, Yemenite citron. Palestine/Palestinian citron also seems to be the scientific name. "Balady" is indeed a variety, and it should be unambiguously termed as the one "native" to Palestine. Chesdovi (talk) 15:11, 29 March 2016 (UTC) (edit conflict}[reply]
The article says "Balady citron is native to Israel and Palestine." That is how it should be. Renaming to Palestinian Citron is just not good and a POV edit. Sir Joseph (talk) 15:29, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not at all, he cherry picks sources and takes out of context. Here are some sources that call it a Balady Citron. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

To be clear: I do not of course deny that "Balady citron" is used as a common name. The reason I feel the page should be moved is because each variety is "Balady" to wherever it is grown. The page name should be more specific to the geographical location where this citron grows.

I'm a tad suspicious about some of the above sources citing "Balady". I had earlier seen Irving (#11), but dispensed with it since, as a travel guide, it is not a good RS, although it does show usage as common name. References #2 & #3 are sourced to Wikipedia which obviously cannot be used as RS here. #6 is also sourced to Wikipedia's article on Citron. I am not at all sure about #8 as it seems a very bizarre source which I cannot fully access. #7 is not RS, but a novel, which again shows name usage. #5 "Live and Feel" health product website has no details of authorship. The sources which may bear some weight as RS are the JTA article (#3), #9, #10. Not sure what to make of #1 which claims it is also called "Jericho etrog" which I cannot find sourced anywhere else. (#9 features as a footnote, so really need to see to what it refers) Chesdovi (talk) 16:16, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Except that is not how it is referred to when people say Balady Citron or Balady Esrog. And travel guides and other items are indeed useful since they show common usage of the term. You should also not be striking out my comments, you should deal with your comments and refs. Sir Joseph (talk) 16:25, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It seems #9 relates to a pilgrim account referring to "Adam's apple" which Pringle (as opposed to Tolkowsky) suggests is the "Balady citron." It should be noted however that Pringle possibly used "Balady" since the context of the text was unambiguously related to Palestine. Chesdovi (talk) 16:43, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It should also be noted that a good chunk of your sources refer to the geography not the name when they say Palestine Citron. Similar to how the scientific name of apples in NY is not NY Apples. But someone saying "buy Palestinian Citrons" just means he wants you to buy those citrons to support the local economy, and this is more of you taking references out of context. Your ref 1 is exactly the same thing. With regards to the WP articles: This is not used for RS purposes but what an article title should be called and as such we should be using what is used in common day and Wikipedia is a valid source for that.Sir Joseph (talk) 16:56, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No. As Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, including those who have absolutely no idea what they're talk about, it can not be used as a source for anything. -- -- -- 20:34, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot see "Balady" used on Hebrew Wiki. I suggest adding to this page that in Hebrew, the Palestine citron is called אתרוג ארץ ישראל for which I have found sources. It also seems that Israel's Ministry Of Agriculture And Rural Development (pp. 40-1) neither use the term "Balady", opting to refer to it simply as "Citrus medica L," though they do list "Palestine sweet lime".

  • As an outsider to the discussion here, I can only say that the article needs a major rewrite. It's full of unencyclopedic language. It tells the reader very little about the plant or the fruit. The appropriate sources to decide what a cultivated fruit should be called are horticultural and botanical, not religious. Peter coxhead (talk) 18:16, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Chesdovi engages in cherrypicking and POV pushing. He does not hesitate to bring support form sources that upon closer analysis do not use the word Palestinian in the same sense as he implies. Debresser (talk) 19:08, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • "POV pushing"? Enough! Please elaborate on "Palestinian in the same sense as he implies". 19:26, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Don't tell me "enough"! You are POV pushing, and I have the right and the obligation to warn against it.
In most of the sources the word "Palestinian" is used not as part of the name, but as an indication of geographical origin. Precisely the same as "Palestinian wine", which is just "wine from the territory that is called Palestine", but is not a proper name. Note, that Sir Joseph also told you this above. Debresser (talk) 21:55, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
True, "Palestinian" it is used in the geographical sense, but wherever in the Arab world citrons are grown, they are called Balady! We could not have Israeli citron for a single variety as there are a dozen sub-varieties to which people refer, eg. a Chazon Ish, Braverman, etc. It would have to be called Israeli citrons (plural). To distinguish this sole Balady variety from others around the world, I am suggesting adding the region to its name, just as do a number of scientific papers which call this citron "Palestine citron." Chesdovi (talk) 13:32, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

An interesting article about the word "Beledi" There’s A Word For Tradition, Quality In Morocco (Apr-14): "Within Morocco and abroad, beldi is being used to market quality boutique-style products to foreigners and Moroccans. Moroccan beldi include raib beldi, thin drinkable yogurt; zebda beldia, homemade or traditional Moroccan butter; and citron beldi, indigenous lemons used to make preserved lemons. In Morocco, McDonalds is jumping on the bandwagon with a specialty sandwich called the “P’tit Beldi” featuring spiced halal meat. Even U.S. grocer Whole Foods is now selling products such as “Beldi: A small, fruity olive from Morocco.”" and "Citron beldi or l’hamd beldi: These are varieties of lemon found throughout Morocco, such as the small doqq lemons (Citrus limonum Risso var. pusilla R) from the Taroudant region outside of Agadir and boussera lemons, or limonette de Marrakesh, often used in traditional recipes." It is clear having a page called "Balady citron" is misleading and confusing. It should be a disambig page. Chesdovi (talk) 20:03, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Annoyingly the IP muddied the waters due to the personal attacks. Palestine (region) does encompass Palestine (state) so I have no real feelings either way. Its essentially just an opportunity to blue-link to another article. Just saying 'Israel and Palestine' would be correct regardless of where palestine is linked to.

Balady citron → Palestinian citron – 1. "Balady citron" is a localised term, and is used for citrons grown in Morocco. 2. There are hardly any scholarly sources which use the term "Balady citron". 3. Scientific papers refer to this particular citron as "Palestine citron". Chesdovi (talk) 16:01, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose The article makes the opposite case of this proposal. See also the numerous sources in the section above that prove the usage of the term.
