Article name

[edit]

The name of the settlement is Giv'ot Olam, not "Gva'ot Olam". In English, the correct construct state of the word "hill" is Giv'ot, thus "Gva'ot Olam" would mean "hills eternity", not "hills of eternity".--128.139.104.49 (talk) 07:42, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But Hills Eternity is improper English, while Hills of Eternity makes a lot more sense and is quite poetic (even for the name of a settlement). Astronaut (talk) 16:41, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You are missing my point. Gva'ot Olam is not proper Hebrew (naturally making its English equivalent "Hills Eternity" senseless). The correct Hebrew name would be Giv'ot Olam -- the poetic Hills of Eternity. The name of the article should be changed.--128.139.104.49 (talk) 23:34, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Add after "Giv'ot Olam was established in late 1998 by Avri Ran, a right wing activist and organic farmer who raises free-range chickens and sells their eggs on the organic food market." New sentence: "The farm which Avri occupies is over nine hundred dunams (0.9km^2). Most of the land was privately owned by Palestinians who had been dispossessed of it."

 Not done The proposed addition is not written in an impartial tone. The disputed nature of the land is already addressed in the article, where it does use an impartial tone. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 16:08, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
