Etymology

@Huldra: Is there any info about the meaning of Meithalun's name? Someone added an unsourced explanation claiming it meant "100 colors", which seems plausible. Need a source though. --Al Ameer (talk) 20:19, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Al Ameer son: Palmer, 1881, p. 187...referring to Palmer, 1881, p. 112, ..the actual explanation is on p. 112. And, btw; this article now fulfils the DYK-test; any thoughts about a handle? Huldra (talk) 20:24, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Huldra: Thanks, added it to the article. I'm also going to see if the "100 colors" theory is the view of Meithalun municipality, because I believe the IP who added it may have been using that as a reference (without citing it). If so, I'll attribute the alternative theory to the municipality.

As for DYK, I was planning on pairing it with Marj Sanur. There's not really much in this article currently that is terribly interesting, history-wise, so I was thinking:

"... that Meithalun is the largest Palestinian village in the Marj Sanur valley"

or if the 100 colors theory could be supported, then "... Meithalun, the village of "100 colors", is the largest Palestinian village in the Marj Sanur valley". --Al Ameer (talk) 21:32, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The largest village, sounds ok. The 100 colours theory, even if it is collaborated by the municipality, is a bit more "shaky", as it would be contradicted by Palmer, Huldra (talk) 21:48, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine, I'll go with the first hook. --Al Ameer (talk) 22:31, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
