Incorrect Birth place

Hello, I am new to Wikipedia editing so apologies in advance if I use the wrong terminology or etiquette without meaning to.

The current birth place as Syria for Yusif Sayigh is incorrect, the source citation from Jerusalem Quarterly is actually a summary from his recollections and they have made a mistake - his direct recollections to his wife Rosemary were turned into a biography and as you can see on page 9 his birth place is al-Bassa, Palestine.

Additionally, and I don't know if this bears any weight, but I am a close relative of Sayigh's and I can tell you directly that the current birth place is incorrect. Dodiemop (talk) 09:19, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your kind message and for giving a link. I will correct it based on the source. --Egeymi (talk) 09:29, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
