Great page overall! I would put a link in the intro after "Biblical Azeka" which takes you directly to your explanation in biblical history. Also, the “Extra-biblical mention” heading is a little confusing- maybe, Non-Biblical sources? Also, what kinds of artifacts did they find? Iagofan1616 ( talk) 16:38, 8 May 2013 (UTC) Rebecca
Looks good! Well laid out and coherent. ~~Sara — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slfitzpa ( talk • contribs) 03:02, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi Loew Galitz. I noticed your recent edit on this page, which is fine, but I wanted to ask you what is your source for the spelling "Tel Azka" (instead of "Tel Azeka")? The reason why I ask you this is because I have never seen it spelt that way. Could it be a transliteration of the Hebrew from someone who has never read the Hebrew vowel assignments for this word? Just curious, as it seems very strange. Be well. Davidbena ( talk) 01:07, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
Before my edit the article said "According to Epiphanius of Salamis, the name meant "white" in the Canaanite tongue", which is a misquote, which I fixed. Quote form source: "But it is now called in Syriac Hewarta, for the reading Azekah is Hebrew; and it is translated into Greek as "white." " In any case appears that Epiphanius was wrong. He-wiki gives different etymology, unfortunately unsourced. I will try to find sources. Loew Galitz ( talk) 00:46, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
