In the diaspora

Shouldn't the "In the diaspora" section be replaced by a link to the much more thorough Ghetto article?--Doron 14:19, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Top importance?

I think this article should be 'demoted' to high importance. It's very important, but certainly not a core topic of Israel. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 17:09, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistent area figures

The lead gives the area of the Quarter as 45,000 sq. meters. At 1,000 sq. meters per dunam, this would be 45 dunams. A few paragraphs later the text gives 129 dunams as the area of the Quarter or a portion therof—nearly triple the figure in the lead. This is an inconsistency that should be looked into and corrected. In addition, the conversion given of 129 dunams as "about 22 acres" is incorrect. At the ratio of approx. 4.05 dunams per acre, 129 dunams is about 32 acres; going the other way, 22 acres is about 89 dunams. Which of the figures—if any—are correct? Looking for help from someone with a reliable source. Hertz1888 (talk) 22:27, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Second problem has been corrected. Hertz1888 (talk) 15:04, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Western Wall a rubbish dump.

I have added a 'citation needed' to this statement since I have two photos of the Jewish Quarter published in 1963. One of which shows the Western Wall with the pavement well swept and all the Hebrew writting, visible in pre 1948 photos, removed from the wall.Padres Hana (talk) 13:23, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish Quarter → Jewish Quarter (Jerusalem) — So that this current title can be a disambiguation page. Although not particuarly developed, Jewish Quarter (diaspora) is of similar notability to this article, and the expression "Jewish Quarter" can refer to a large number of city quarters around the world.

Analysis of the first 20 hits (excluding 2 hits from Wikipedia for this article and the diaspora article) if you google "Jewish Quarter":

Jewish Quarter, Jerusalem (this article) - 6 hits
Jewish Quarter, Prague (Josefov) - 6 hits
Jewish Quarter, Kraków (Kazimierz) - 2 hits
Jewish Quarter, Třebíč - 1 hit
Jewish Quarter, Rome (Roman Ghetto) - 1 hit
Jewish Quarter, Córdoba - 1 hit
Jewish Quarter, Paris (Pletzl, in the Le Marais district) - 1 hit

This hopefully shows that there is no one unambiguous primary meaning for the phrase "Jewish Quarter". YeshuaDavid • Talk • 17:27, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
