Could someone please correct the following grammatical/spelling errors:
Etymology section, 3rd paragraph: "and it an Arabized version" should be "and it is an Arabized version".
Caption on image: "A mnefield warning sign in the Golan" should be "A minefield warning sign in the Golan".
Byzantine period subsection, 2nd paragraph: "were influenced by the synagogues of the Galilee but had its own distinctive characteristics" should be "were influenced by the synagogues of the Galilee but had their own distinctive characteristics".
Early Jewish settlement subsection, 1st paragraph: "but by the mid-1890s most was owned and cultivated" should be "but by the mid-1890s most were owned and cultivated".
Border incidents after 1948 subsection, 2nd paragraph: "established a de facto presence on and control of eastern shore of the lake." should be "established a de facto presence on and control of the eastern shore of the lake."

Neutrality
What I think should be changed (format using {{textdiff}}):
−
On the other hand, expressing pro-Syrian rhetoric, The Economist
+
On the other hand, expressing pro-Syrian viewpoints, The Economist
Why it should be changed: As it is written, it is not neutral since the word "rhetoric" has mostly negative connotations.
References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): [1]

Note: Apart from the loaded word "rhetoric", the sentence (On the other hand, expressing pro-Syrian rhetoric, The Economist found, represents the Golan Druzes' view...) doesn't make much sense and needs to be changed. M.Bitton (talk) 12:50, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done I've cleaned up this sentence as well. Sagflaps (talk) 19:33, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Scope?
What is the scope of this article? The territory occupied by Israel in 1967, or a more general geographic area that possibly extends to non-occupied parts of Syria and Lebanon? Makeandtoss (talk) 10:16, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Gamla Nature Reserve
Under Landmarks, below the pictures of Gamla Nature Reserve, I think it’s important to mention that the pictures are featuring the winter views of the region (during the winter). From April to November it has a very different look to it. it’s getting dry and yellow. דולב חולב (talk) 14:53, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do we really have to be very precise about the date of a picture?
I mean, you can see the date it was created by clicking on the picture.PAper GOL (talk) 20:28, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think it’s important to distinguish the very different views from the winter to the long summers. דולב חולב (talk) 14:24, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I know it’s important for the locals.
they’re always talking about how different are the views in this area and in Israel between summer and winter. דולב חולב (talk) 14:25, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
