Jericho Synagogue → Jericho synagogue – Needed is: to redirect the redirect. The "Jericho synagogue" *is* in Jericho. The "Wadi Qelt Synagogue" *is not*, simple as that. It's a few km outside the city. Somebody wrote the article about the Wadi Qelt Synagogue under the wrong title "Jericho Synagogue". Somebody else fixed it, but left "Jericho Synagogue" attached by redirect to the wrong one, to the Wadi Qelt Synagogue; this name should redirect to the actual ancient synagogue *inside Jericho*, whose article is titled "Jericho synagogue" (I just moved it from "Shalom Al Yisrael Synagogue"). This seems to be technically a problem. WHY it's important: Religious Zionist settlers and others from their camp are using the name "Shalom Al Yisrael Synagogue" for obvious political-religious reasons ("Yisrael" in the ancient mosaic refers to the "children of Israel", but today people lacking in-depth education in this field would associate it with the State of Israel, and the Religious Zionists want places like Jericho, which belong to the Palestinian Authority, to be annexed by the State of Israel. In contrast to that, the archaeological site, which consists mainly of a mosaic floor, is widely known in scholarly circles as well as among tourists as simply the (ancient) Jericho synagogue (lower-case "synagogue"). That's how it appears in archaeological literature - check for instance THE author for the topic, Rachel Hachlili, in her 2008 classic published by BRILL, "Ancient Mosaic Pavements: Themes, Issues, and Trends". That's also how the excavator first named it, see D. Baramki (1938). Arminden (talk) 23:38, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
