Marissa survived as a declining "city" until 40 BCE when it was destroyed by the Parthians and that is when Betaris takes over (40 BCE being in Pompey's time as in Roman). You can start with Gath, Mareshah, Marissa, (pre-Roman) or you can start with Betaris from the start of the Roman era......[[User:Ashley kennedy3|Ashley kennedy3]] ([[User talk:Ashley kennedy3|talk]]) 01:25, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Now it is the same design as the infobox same colours and same font. And I personally think it is clever spin to choose "Palestine Remembered", as Icehockey don't like it, and it makes sence to have the word Palestine next to the flag. I would say, give it a chance and see if you will not get to like it over time. Indeed we could christen all pages that deal with Palestine of old, that (by designing an emblem), or just put this template in at the bottom, or both.

::Personally, I don't believe the Palestinian flag should be included in the template since it was introduced in the 60s by the PLO and was not the flag of Palestine's Arabs before the Nakba. "Palestine Remembered" is a completely pointless and unnecessary title that is indeed POV-pushing. You could personalize you user page as much as you would like (as long as there's no threats against anyone) but a template that is placed in several dozens of articles is off-limits to POV. Now don't get the wrong idea, I like the template very much and the destroyed village articles need that template very much, but it must remain neutral like everything else on Wikipedia. Finally, I would like to address the images. Templates should have images, but they should not have a section just for images and the images must appropriate. A template on depopulated villages should have pictures of those depopulated villages on the side. There are several village articles that have images: Suba (village), Lifta, al-Tantura, as-Sumayriyya, az-Zeeb. --Al Ameer son (talk) 18:15, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
