"Samaria in the central West Bank"?

I wonder, is there really a reliable source for the claim that a part of the West Bank is called "Samaria"? To me, it appears to be Israel-specific (and thus POV) terminology. I suggest simply "The northern part of the West Bank". MeteorMaker (talk) 10:10, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

yes - the article uses terminology which is used here. NoCal100 (talk) 15:03, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That map is a bilingual map, showing what the areas are called locally (and it has never been in question that the area is called "Samaria"/"Shomron" by Israelis). The CIA, the organization that issued the map 15 years ago, never uses the term "Samaria" (see for yourself in their online archive, so it's clearly a misrepresentation of the purpose of the map to claim that the CIA uses this Israel-specific terminology. Here's another example of a bilingual map, you would not use that to claim that "Exhibition Center" is a Chinese word. MeteorMaker (talk) 15:59, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lead image

Is there a better image? In any case, if not, can anyone determine the boundary between the Arab village and Alfei Menashe in the picture? And which Arab village is it? —Ynhockey (Talk) 21:28, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
