Hi Tiamut,

I created a new section on the talk page for the aforementioned article in the hopes that you'll engage in discussion. I just don't understand what facets of WP:RS the site fails to satisfy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Zionist_political_violence#palestinefacts.org

Hi, There was a tomb of Sheikh Jarrah just to the north of Jerusalem by 1860 at the latest. I have a map. But I can't find anything about this tomb or who Sheikh Jarrah was. There was some general of Omar, conqueror of Jerusalem, with that name, but no source connecting him to the tomb. Can you find anything? Zero^talk 14:26, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zero0000. It seems the Sheikh Jarrah quarter on Mount Scopus was named for the nearby tomb of Muslim saint, commonly known as Sheikh Jarrah. [1] The tomb itself is located inside the Mosque of Sheikh Jarrah. Named for a 12th century Muslim saint, it is located on Nablus Road near the American Colony hotel, about a 5-minute walk from the Sheikh Jarrah quarter. [2] According to Mariam Shahin, on pages 328-329 of her book Palestine: A Guide (of which I have a copy at home), the mosque was built in 1895, around the tomb (which is itself dated to 1201). Both are named for the physician of Saladin, known as Hussam al-Din al-Jarrahi (Jarrahi in Arabic means "the surgeon"). The nearby Sheikh Jarrah quarter was named for him, though Shahin notes it is not certin that the tomb contains his actual remains.

I will look for more informtion on Hussam al-Din l-Jarrahi too. But I though I'd let you know wht an initial look around has turned up. Cheers. Tiamut^talk 14:57, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great. That article needs some history (but see RS/N). Zero^talk 15:06, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Any luck with the GA afterwards? I made a map Template:Location map Egypt Sinai. I though it might come in handy as a locator for some ancient site that you or Nableezy or somebody might be working on... ‡ Himalayan ‡ ^ΨMonastery 15:40, 10 March 2010 (UTC) No worries, looks good on the Dahab article anyway.. ‡ Himalayan ‡ ^ΨMonastery 20:35, 12 March 2010 (UTC) [reply]

		The Excellent User Page Award
		Rarely are Userpages so full of sadness and poetry. You have a way of latching onto little details—"sounds of my city", the Mona Lisa-esque quality of the "woman from Ramallah"—to reveal the larger picture in the space between the words. As you wrote, "That's what moves me to write. My love for all people which begins with love for myself, then my neighbours, my people, and expands outward from there, everywhere." Beautiful. --AFriedman (talk) 06:39, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
