Talk:Jericho

The city is named Jericho because it is described in The Jewish Book of Joshua, and its written in Hebrew as יְרִיחוֹ (Yeriẖo). The Hebrew name existed thousands of years before Arabic was even invented. It is corrupt and biased that this article has the arabic translation of the Hebrew name but intentionally excludes the Hebrew name. I request the Hebrew name (which is the original name) be added to this article. Steve348 (talk) 14:54, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

You can read about how to write an edit request at WP:EDITXY. Following those guidelines is how to maximize the chance that a request is processed in this contentious topic area. You should have just written "I request the Hebrew name be added to this article." Everything else is redundant and inconsistent with the EDITXY guidelines. But better than that is to check whether a requirement has already been met. The Hebrew name is already in the article. Sean.hoyland (talk) 15:54, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

Please explain why the Hebrew is missing from the beginning of the article, but 3 Arabic translations of the Hebrew name are there?

If you want to go to Jericho, what country do you fly to? (Israel). The amount of anti-Israel bias here is grotesque. Steve348 (talk) 16:00, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

I agree. It seems that now with the insight and sole interests of International terrorism, an educational site that is supposed to supply information to me as a qualified histrian must first be subjected to a blatant propogandistic political message. What has the current politcal situation got to do with the inhabitnts of a neolithic city in c. 9,500 BCE? This is grotesque and reflects what will happoen to this world once totalitarian extremists take charge. People need to wake up. ~2026-66032 (talk) 05:28, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

@Steve348 This city is in Palestine proper, and to claim "thousands of years ago before Arabic was invented" Arabic is the most conservative Semitic language, and Proto-Semitic was reconstructed based on it, because it has been spoken as it is since Semitic branch deviated from Afro-Asiatic, and it has been spoken like any language in this earth since human language was created, Ancient Hebrew was dead for hundreds of years (a non debatable fact), and Modern Hebrew is an invention, not a direct descent either

Israel is occupying the area, the city is in Palestine by international law, even the world heritage site is inscribed under Palestine, the Syrian Golan Heights are also occupied by international law, yet Hebrew names are written in Golan heights articles, the amount of Anit-Palestine, Anti-Arab, and pro-occupation here is grotesque Prosnu (talk) 21:57, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
