Khalidi, p. 404 cites Robinson, 1856, p. 143, describing Qatra as being of a "considerable size".
Now, according to Khalidis Bibliography, he used a 1977 reprint of one of the many 1856 Robinson versions. Which one I don't know. But the present Robinson, 1856, p.143, does not refer to Qatra at all, instead it refers to a Kubab as "a considerable village". And that is Al-Qubab, on SWP map 17, with Robinson on his way from Lydda to Yalo.
However, Robinson and Smith, 1856, vol 2, p 227, mentions a Kutra, sighted from Aqir. Now to me, that sound like "our" Qatra.
Will anyone protest if I cut that 1856, p. 143, out from this article, and moves it to Al-Qubab? Huldra (talk) 23:04, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Looks right to me. Zerotalk 20:07, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Eh, what look right, my opinion or Khalidi? Huldra (talk) 22:51, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Your opinion looks right (as usual). Zerotalk 07:28, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I like a check....actually, I quite often find that I make mistakes, and insert wrong info. In 95-99% of the cases I am the one who discovers it, though... Huldra (talk) 22:46, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
