` :: You can't trust the year shown by Google Books as it is very often wrong (one of my main peeves about it).  The Encyclopedia Americana you found is a 1970 edition even though it has ``1829`` written beside it; try searching for ``1970`` to see the copyright page.  The other examples don't work as ``heights`` or ``plateau`` are in lowercase and so are descriptions rather than names.  (In at least one of them, ``Syrian heights`` is clearly referring to the mountains rather than the plateau.) My Hebrew is primitive, but I suspect that example is also not clearly using ``ramat Golan`` as a name but is using a description analogous to ``Golan plateau``please correct me if I'm wrong.  So my question remains open.  On the other hand we don't have an article on the Golan region except this one so I am not completely opposed to covering a larger area. My main concern is that we carefully follow the sources in regard to use of names, and at the moment we have no source using ``Golan Heights`` for more than what Israel controls.   `
