what religous buildings (bahai) have been bombed in haifa

to my knowledge none, though bombs have landed on Baha'i owned land without exploding.

24 People died

[edit]

The tourguides here a telling a romeo and juliet story that in the last bombing a couple that was killed was a Jew and Arab that were meeting. Any truth to this fable?

ask for "kartis ma'avar"

[edit]

The "kartis ma'avar" (כרטיס מעבר) is now the default ticket Egged bus drivers issue on intra-city rides. (WT-en) Ronbarak 10:08, 7 October 2011 (EDT)

Alternative banner for this article?

[edit]

In the Hebrew Wikivoyage we are currently using this banner instead of the one which is currently used here. Do you think too that this banner would would better than the existing one? ויקיג'אנקי (talk) 15:16, 4 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

I'm not completely sure on this one. The two banners are so different from each other. But I think I'm going to say yes, this banner is better, because it gives more of a sense of what Haifa is like. I do like the current banner, too, however, and it's a more atypical type of image. Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:53, 4 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hotel pictures

[edit]

Right now, there are two. Per Wikivoyage:Listings#Images, we normally do not include pictures of hotels unless the hotel buildings themselves are notable sights. In the case of the Dan Panorama hotel and shopping centre, they clearly are because, regardless of any views anyone might have on the aesthetic values of the buildings, they are skyscrapers. However, I can't figure out why Hotel Dan Gardens Haifa is architecturally notable. Is there something I'm missing, or should the thumbnail image of that hotel be removed from this article?

The image was added in August 2008 by User:(WT-en) Erezico, along with two other hotel images. I doubt there's any reason to keep it. Powers (talk) 14:36, 18 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the info, Powers. I'll go ahead and delete the Hotel Dan Gardens thumbnail. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:38, 18 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Districts

[edit]

User:ויקיג'אנקי just added a set of districts for this article. I question whether Haifa is large enough to need separate district articles. If the content is divided between the districts that were just added, I think many of the articles would be nearly empty and likely to stay that way. So I oppose dividing into district articles. What do other people think? Ar2332 (talk) 08:23, 1 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

The districts sections wasn't meant to be used for spliting the content, but rather to help the travelers reading the article get a better understanding of the city. ויקיג'אנקי (talk) 23:00, 2 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
