The coordinates shows the area being located in the West bank, user Gilabrand changed it to that its in Israel, and moved up a source, [1] could Gilabrand please show the quote in the source that says that the area is located in Israel? --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 12:58, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I also now found a source saying: "The discovery, reported in the journal Science, was made at an archaeological site called Gilgal I, which lies eight miles north of ancient Jericho." [2], which would clearly put the area in the West Bank and not in Israel. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 14:26, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yehuda v'Shomron (the original name; "West Bank" is a colonial invention) is in Israel, and nobody gets to say otherwise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.179.192.40 (talk) 09:24, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See "dubious" tags. More source links are dead than active. Ynet source misunderstood or faulty - we have enough academic sources to replace and remove Ynet & alike completely. Ynet starts bad from the title: "Where's the historical Gilgal?" - the Book of Joshua, historical? If Adam Zertal would still be around, maybe he could bring arguments for that; but not Ynet.

• Coordinates: source? Check on Google Maps: that's much closer to Petza'el than to Gilgal, and right on the patrol road next to the border fence. Must be a joke.
  

@JJMC89 bot: I see you have introduced them here. So, is it a joke?

• Tell?! Source? 200 years of rural habitation don't usually create a tell. It was placed in at the creation of the article, by an editor inactive by now, so no way to learn anything from him. The only other language, French, has it too since 2017. @Jalbatros:, are you active on English Wiki? Arminden (talk) 21:45, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just got the French Wiki contributor's answer: "Hi, You are right, it is not at a tell." I guess I'll remove it here, too. They also have updated the coordinates to a more plausible location, under both aspects i mentioned. Arminden (talk) 02:11, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
