removed irrelevant sentence in the intro

There was a sentence about Nof HaGalil in the intro that I removed. It does not belong there. Besides which it was misleading, as it said it was built "alongside Old Nazareth" when in fact thousands of dunams of land belonging to Nazareth were expropriated by the government to build it.

Also deleted this info on Israel Military Industries as that plant is located in Nof HaGalil (formerly known as Nazaret Illit or "Upper Nazareth", as you can see from their page here [1] Tiamut (talk) 17:48, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Change

• Constantine the Great that churches be built in Jewish cities, and Nazareth was one of the places designated for this purpose, although construction of churches apparently only started decades after Constantine's death, i.e. after 352.

to

• Constantine the Great ordered that churches be built in Jewish cities, and Nazareth was one of the places designated for this purpose, although construction of churches apparently only started decades after Constantine's death, i.e. after 352.

Simple copyedit fix - we are missing a word from the source ('ordered') - can be verified by viewing page 18 of the given source book.

Reaction of Crusaders

I read somewhere once that when crusaders first reached Nazareth, they were shocked to find a small, poor village. Given the importance of the region in their religion, they had (according to what I read) expected a bustling metropolis. Is there any solid evidence of this reaction?

Two typos I don't have permission to fix

"Nazareth is a today a cultural..." Remove the first "a". "The Church of the Annunciation is the considered one of the..." Remove the third "the". Davemc0 (talk) 00:38, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

The lede sentence has ܢܨܪܬ as "Imperial Aramaic" – Imperial Aramaic is long extinct and did not use this alphabet, nor is the word for Nazareth attested in its corpus. The language should be changed to Syriac. 67.209.15.200 (talk) 14:09, 13 March 2023 (UTC) 67.209.15.200 (talk) 14:09, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

 Done Good catch! The article text indeed says Syriac with appropriate sourcing, I can see how someone could have confused Syrian Aramaic for Imperial Aramaic when writing the lede. Lizthegrey (talk) 15:52, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

There is a small grammatical error in the page, in the "Education" section, the following line: - "About half of students in Nazareth attend Christian schools (10 schools) that found in the city" Should instead be: - "About half of students in Nazareth attend Christian schools (10 schools) that are found in the city"

The verb "are" is missing from the sentence.

Additionally, the image in the "Education" section refers to the pictured building as "Salesian School", the building pictured is indeed in Nazareth, but it is the 'Don Bosco school', the church next to it is called 'Basilica of Jesus the Adolescent' also known as 'Salesian church'.

Thus, the image should instead say something along the lines of: "Don Bosco school(left), Basilica of Jesus the Adolescent(right)"
