This article is not unnecessary and/or a duplicative of the existing articles History of Palestine, Time periods in the Palestine region and Timeline of the name Palestine for the following reasons:
With respect to Koakhtzvigad's deletion of the statements "(Biblical sources only)" on certain line items, these should all be added back, and additional similar caveats should be added where appropriate. There has been much discussion of this question on wikipedia but consensus is clear - see e.g. Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_12#Religious_sources or Wikipedia_talk:Identifying_reliable_sources/Archive_29#Religious_texts. Oncenawhile ( talk) 15:57, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
The article should only include events and dating broadly accepted by historians, and refrain from including events and dating only recognized only in religious literature.
The only way we would be able to achieve this would be by adding reliable sources accepted by historians, to all the events which currently appear in the sections 2nd millennium BC and 1st millennium BC. TheCuriousGnome ( talk) 04:02, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
No way am I going to enter into the hornet's nest of editing the actual article, but wish to address any editors interested in maintaining a touch of archaeological reality for the article. I haven't read the The Bible Unearthed article closely, but there is just no way I will be able to read the Bible without a massive 'pinch' of salt after reading the book itself, if ever I get myself to make the effort of reading any more of the Bible than I already have. My point being that any item on this list which is explicitly or implicitly based on Biblical writings has absolutely no place in an article with pretensions to being a record of history. -- StephanNaro ( talk) 21:33, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
Somewhere in Wikipedia, if not here, I consider that there should be a place for a timeline which includes Biblical references (and perhaps there are other non-'scientific' references too) because it is important to present a picture of history which represents the culturally-accepted perceptions within Jewish and Islamic (and perhaps other) traditions. These traditions importantly inform the views held by ordinary people today, including people whose influence affects the outcome of the ongoing conflicts in the area. -- Egarobar ( talk) 12:23, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

The name used everywhere else is "Crusader period"; I have introduced "Crusader/Ayyubid period" to reflect the reality on the ground, but that needs explaining, as it's not being used anywhere else than I/P on enWiki as far as I can tell. Arminden ( talk) 10:03, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
Big question: "medieval period" is a vague term used with different definitions. I have come across, but unfortunately cannot remember where, a very rational sounding comment that "medieval" and "Middle Ages" are terms which make no sense in the Middle East, but only in Europe if anywhere:
I found it impossible to find a source where "medieval period" in the Middle East is clearly defined as the Crusader period, but dozens of archaeology books and papers use the term apparently with this narrow meaning, albeit all failing to offer an explicit definition. It might be that there are different interpretations from author to author, such as overlaps with the Byzantine, Early Muslim, or Mamluk periods, so please, if you find any clear definition anywhere, even better if there are several conflicting ones, they need to be introduced on Wiki, too - here and in many other articles. Thank you, Arminden ( talk) 10:06, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
Palestine is an exonym given to the region by the Roman Empire to suppress the Jewish Bar Kokhba revolt in 135, as such using the name is not the most accurate option. the name comes from the Philistines, who themselves only lived in a small portion of the land, for a comparably short time, and were Greek invaders to the region.
even though many empires have used the name to describe the region, it was only in the 20th century that some of the area's residents started using it. As a result, it only describes the view of the foreign empires, and not the identity of the native population. /info/en/?search=Timeline_of_the_name_Palestine
the name Israel is a much more enceinte name, an endonym, and was used by locals as a self-identification (e.g.. unified kingdom of Israel, northern kingdom of Israel, Egyptian Merneptah Stele) and as such fits the region more /info/en/?search=History_of_Israel
by the way, this is my first time adding a topic, so if I did something incorrectly, I'd like to know, thanks

Clearly there is strong disagreement between Israel and Palestine, wouldn't a happy medium be to avoid both with either an older term or a less political one? 109.64.145.103 ( talk) 08:25, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
