A fact from Qaraoun appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 5 May 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that an artificial lake near the Lebanese village of Qaraoun has become a seasonal home for about 20,000 migratory birds each year?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/May.

90% in the US

I admit I know nothing about it, but it is hard to imagine that 90% of a rural Lebanese village moved not to the nearby areas but straight to the US (thus commented out that bit in the article). This information is based on a single line from a single web source. Is this information reliable? Materialscientist (talk) 10:23, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think its supposed to be 50% but I agree it doesn't sound right..♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:30, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
