Lots of more historical pictures can be uploaded from the Mattson collection here. Cheers, Huldra (talk) 18:12, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I propose removing this text :
"In the early 19th century, people from Transjordan and other places migrated to Beitin and a Mosque was built near the site of the old church"
and replacing it with that :
"According to legends of the village's elders in a 1960 study; the origin of the first modern inhabitants, the Jarab'a Hamula (clan) originate from around the portions of Jabal Jalbu' (Mount Gilboa) Located in northern Transjordan , with an influx of Qaysi refugees from the neighboring village of Burqa arriving some time later. "
It's much more informative and source-true . The Mosque part was removed , seeing that source 16 doesn't link to any page (actual article on the village is in this link ) , and claims Saladin turned the church that was supposedly in the 19th century , in 1894 ! (..Even assuming the 8 is a typographical error : Saladin died in 1193 ; not 1194 . source itself doesn't cite other sources).
Hope the proposal is applied.
