Tasks YOU can help with:

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Greek

The Greek spelling Φιλαδελφια was given, but I've temporarily removed it. This is because I really think the spelling was Φιλαδελφεια, but can't quite confirm that.

History

My sources claim that the Circassians settled in the area in AD 1878 rather than AD 1887. Can someone please confirm or deny this? - Cybjorg 16:13, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This photo got a caption saying "Jabal Abdoun" but Abdoun is a place which is in the Jabal Amman area. -- Omernos 05:59, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I took this image. I changed the caption to just Abdoun if that makes more sense. When I lived in Amman, I used to know this part of town as Jabal Abdoun, I don't think it was its formal name though. It's interesting that Abdoun is classified as being part of Jabal Amman, as Abdoun stands on its own hill, and is separated from Jabal Amman by a deep wadi.

Hello Nick, it's a great photo. I am from Jordan and I loved this photo. I wanted a proper caption to it! :D -- Well, yeah people often think Abdoun is a whole different place or on it's own but it's actually part of Jabal Amman. Jabal Amman is such a great place, very nice and classy! And it views almost the oldest heritage or Amman and Royalty! -- Omernos

While it is correct that Abdoun is contained within the neighbourhood of Jabal Amman, Jabal Abdoun is indeed a hill separate from that of Jabal Amman. Jamshyd 02:38, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tourism

I can't change the tourism section, it is vandalized

"lone, deranged"?

seems to be a little editorialistic. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.215.216.32 (talk) 17:21, 26 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

 The Greek spelling '''&#934;&#953;&#955;&#945;&#948;&#949;&#955;&#966;&#953;&#945;''' was given, but I've temporarily removed it.  This is because I really think the spelling was &#934;&#953;&#955;&#945;&#948;&#949;&#955;&#966;&#949;&#953;&#945;, but can't quite confirm that.
