Wrong coordinates?[edit]

The coordinates seem to point to a different place - halet al fule. Dangling Reference (talk) 23:30, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have a very detailed CIA map of 2008, which shows "Al Jiftlik" at exactly the same location as earlier maps show "Halet al Fule". Of course it would be very desirable to find a source that explains it. Zero^talk 02:50, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand, this JNF map shows Jiftlik and Khalet el-Fule in different places. And this Palestinian Authority tourist map agrees with it, and writes "Esh Shuna" in the place where Halet al Fule is commonly shown. It seems the CIA map is mistaken, but I'm still looking.

This map is unclear exactly where Jiftlik is, but it could be saying that Jiftlik is the name of the cluster of built up areas in that vacinity, which are not given separate names. Zero^talk 04:36, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I used the PA map location since the previous was wrong and we have to use something. Zero^talk 12:31, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
