The section on the women's Hostel and other sections seem editorial, particularly pro Russian and anti British. There also seems to be an unnecessary amount of detail that seems to carry opinionated weight.

Franghia: only one engineer, George, or also a second one, Alexander?
The Russian sources bring up an "Alexei" Frang(h)ia.
First of all, Alexei is a Russification of Alexander. The Franghia family was Greek, so Alexandros, in Arabic Iskander. Nobody apart from the Russians have called him "Alexei".
Second, was there a second engineer Franghia, or are Alex... and George (Georgios/Girgis) one and the same? An Alexei Frang[h]ia, Greek Orthodox Arab from Nazareth, had studied at the Kharkov Politechnic. Sometimes mentioned as George, sometimes as Alexei: it's either the same man, or maybe they're brothers/relatives of some kind who both went to study in Kharkov.
Franghia is probably repeatedly transliterated, Greek - Cyrillic - Latin. Arabs of Greek Orthodox faith use both Arabic and Greek versions of their given name.
Oppose. The diplomatic presence of the Russian Empire in Jerusalem in Ottoman times is a topic in itself, distinct enough from the Russian Compound for a separate article.

Oppose. Hundreds of Consulates and Embassies have their own articles. The Consulate of Russia in Jerusalem is not the same as the Russian Compound.
