[edit]

http://www.palestineremembered.com/Safad/al-Zanghariyya/index.html this is a tendinous Web site that does not conform to Wikipedia policies. could we find a better ref like a newspaper article or something like that? Bigglove 22:43, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know the website is clearly pro-Palestinian, however the basic fact that Zangariyya was depopulated or abandoned prior to its capture by Israeli forces could be mentioned in the article without a reference. I stated that Tuba was not depopulated or attacked from the previous text you instated. These statements as well as the additional statements that surround the claim could be supported by Walid Khalidi's book on the Palestinian exodus which describes most if not all depopulated Arab towns in present-day Israel - Why Did the Palestinians Leave? Middle East Forum, (July 1959) If you would like me to use this source as I can see it is less controversial and more factual than the website, then this is what I will do.

P.S. Great job on expanding its history, I never thought the article would even be visited by the common reader. -- Al Ameer son 21:46, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think that we should have a better ref that that Web site. Bigglove 13:47, 23 July 2007 (UTC) Oh, and by the way, I just wanted to make clear that it doesn't matter about the specific bias of a source, but the source you were using is not a RS. Bigglove 13:01, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
