I can't edit by myself due to WP:ARBPIA4 edit restrictions.

 Not done: edit requests are for edits that are not controversial. While this doesn’t seem controversial on its surface to me, you’re restricted from editing this page due to an arbitration decision, so I can’t verify that this edit would be uncontroversial. Please establish a consensus on this talk page instead or clarify the nature of the arbitration restrictions. — Tartan357  ^(Talk) 07:35, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

 Done I checked the source and implemented the proposed change. I thus take the responsibility for the edit. The description at WP:ER doesn't make sense to me and I'll raise the issue on the talk page there. Zero^talk 08:22, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Batnia B?

The article used to mention the Palestinian village "Batnia" and say that this place used to be called "Batnia B". However, there was no Palestinian village of that name. Almost certainly Al-Batani al-Gharbi was intended, as it is less than 1km away from the center of Azrikam. That doesn't mean that the original name was actually "Batani B", since the Arabic name could have been Hebraized. I replaced it by "Bitanya" because that spelling is given in the English edition of the Israel Yearbook of 1952. Zero^talk 08:30, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

The Be'er Tuvia Regional Council website and an Ministry of Defence-related website both state that the village was originally called "בתניה ב'" (i.e. including the B/Bet). Without the nikkud, it's not entirely clear how בתניה should be transliterated – I assumed Batania/Batanya as there is no yud between the bet and tav at the start of the Hebrew spelling; however, it could be Bitanya.

I didn't manage to find a map that shows that name in English letters. It is absent in the 1948 map but already Azriqam in the 1953 map. The 1952 yearbook does not have the "B". Zero^talk 13:21, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Maybe it had been dropped by then. Number 57 16:35, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
