My guess is that it's at these coordinates: 34.972867,36.00194 I didn't know the castle (there are a lot of obscure castles in western Syria and I don't know that area that well), but I put Khawabi in Google Maps and then switched on the photos layer and looked at any in the immediate area until I found one of the castle. And the layout of the village/castle looks like it's built on a ridge, which matches with many other castles in the area. I will add it to the List of castles as well. Oh, and just a general suggestion; I would make separate articles for the village and the castle, that usually works better (i.e. keep the second paragraph of the introduction with the information on the village as the contents of the page Khawabi and move everything about the castle to Qala'at al-Khawabi; there is enough information on the castle to warrant its own page). Happy editing!-- Zoeperkoe ( talk) 19:17, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Not True, Old sources like the ottoman sources state the number of 'nusayris' (i.e. alawites) as having 3 times the population in 'hevabi' (khawabi) compared to the sunni population. While it is understandable that ismailis have been gradually removed, I dont see any emigration of the alawites out of the region, your sources fail to provide an explanation about the alawite population and where they went. Regardless, if you think that Khawabi is predominantly sunni then put your sources in the article instead of messaging it to me, so those reading the Khawabi article in the future will be able to access the source to verify the village's demography as predominantly sunni. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.165.222.16 ( talk) 04:51, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello. I am not replacing Hejaz with Tihamah in all articles. I am just replacing the reference to Hejaz when talking about Mecca. Mecca is mistakenly thought to be in Hejaz but that is not true. It lies within the Tihamah region. This mistake resulted from the name of the kingdom of Hejaz in last century. For centuries before that, Muslim and Arab scholars defined Mecca as being a Tihamic city whereas Medina is a Hejazic city. Thanks. -- LePatro ( talk) 07:15, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
In fact, the term Tihamah originaly includes Mecca and Jeddah and in Arabic: Tihamah is one of the names of Mecca. Hejaz on the other hand includes Medina and Taif. Prophet Mohammed of Islam is originally from Mecca and he described himself in one of his Hadiths as a man from Tihamah. I am trying to correct the matter here using the old books of the Arab scholars . -- LePatro ( talk) 07:27, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I would really like to see all references to the Dov. Gutterman-website disappear, there is so much rubbish there! Eg Rameh is an an ancient town, and Umm al-Ghanam likewise. I have found the paletineremembered-site much more "reliable", but I would not use that as a source, so why use Gutterman? It is much better to have no info than have wrong info, me thinks..

My guess is that it's at these coordinates: 34.972867,36.00194 I didn't know the castle (there are a lot of obscure castles in western Syria and I don't know that area that well), but I put Khawabi in Google Maps and then switched on the photos layer and looked at any in the immediate area until I found one of the castle. And the layout of the village/castle looks like it's built on a ridge, which matches with many other castles in the area. I will add it to the List of castles as well. Oh, and just a general suggestion; I would make separate articles for the village and the castle, that usually works better (i.e. keep the second paragraph of the introduction with the information on the village as the contents of the page Khawabi and move everything about the castle to Qala'at al-Khawabi; there is enough information on the castle to warrant its own page).

Not True, Old sources like the ottoman sources state the number of 'nusayris' (i.e. alawites) as having 3 times the population in 'hevabi' (khawabi) compared to the sunni population. While it is understandable that ismailis have been gradually removed, I dont see any emigration of the alawites out of the region, your sources fail to provide an explanation about the alawite population and where they went. Regardless, if you think that Khawabi is predominantly sunni then put your sources in the article instead of messaging it to me, so those reading the Khawabi article in the future will be able to access the source to verify the village's demography as predominantly sunni. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.165.222.16 ( talk) 04:51, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello. I am not replacing Hejaz with Tihamah in all articles. I am just replacing the reference to Hejaz when talking about Mecca. Mecca is mistakenly thought to be in Hejaz but that is not true. It lies within the Tihamah region. This mistake resulted from the name of the kingdom of Hejaz in last century. For centuries before that, Muslim and Arab scholars defined Mecca as being a Tihamic city whereas Medina is a Hejazic city. Thanks. -- LePatro ( talk) 07:15, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
In fact, the term Tihamah originaly includes Mecca and Jeddah and in Arabic: Tihamah is one of the names of Mecca. Hejaz on the other hand includes Medina and Taif. Prophet Mohammed of Islam is originally from Mecca and he described himself in one of his Hadiths as a man from Tihamah. I am trying to correct the matter here using the old books of the Arab scholars . -- LePatro ( talk) 07:27, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

![]() | On 5 April 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Circassians in Syria, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Circassians in Syria occupied many villages, including Murayj al-Durr, having been relocated to the country by the Ottoman authorities in an effort to combat rising local dissent during the nineteenth century? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi, I would really like to see all references to the Dov. Gutterman-website disappear, there is so much rubbish there! Eg Rameh is an an ancient town, and Umm al-Ghanam likewise. I have found the paletineremembered-site much more "reliable", but I would not use that as a source, so why use Gutterman? It is much better to have no info than have wrong info, me thinks..
