Center of the Universe

It is believed by many scientists and renowned astrologists that our Universe is the center of all universes and that the Earth is in the Center of our Universe... or at least treated to be this way. When this is only a solid theory, what we know for a fact is that Lebanon is in the Center of the Earth, and Zahlé is the Heart of Lebanon, situated at an equal distance from the North to the South, and the East to the West...My house is actually in the Center of Zahle, and my room is technically in the center of the house; I therefore Literally am in the center of the universe...It is difficult for many people to understand why we, the Zahliot, whenever we are, still carry the same attitude and feeling we had acquired, the true reality and indisputable fact that everything else revolves around us and we are the Center... while we tolerate the skepticism of some, I say to you: we can't help it, it's biological.

Wikipedia folks, I apologize I didn't site and reference all the above facts, but I am certain if you verify them, you will find every little thing true, or at least can't be refuted.--Daniel Saliba 08:17, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alle those facts are consistant with the famous Saleeby book. :)Godspeed John Glenn! Will 12:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Zahle War

This section is not proportional to the size of the article. Consider creating a different article for Zahle War.89.0.123.97 19:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is the only predominantly Christian city in the Middle East

There are other predominantly Christian cities/towns in Lebanon. But even if we only consider those with more than 100,000 inhabitants as cities, Beirut has a Christian majority of about 52%. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.52.150.25 (talk) 22:56, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problems

This article was listed for copyright investigation at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2010 March 21, given its resemblance to [1]. Content from this webpage was first introduced in this edit in 2007. More content from that webpage was copied in in March 2010. That the website predates the Wikipedia content is clear from its archives. See [2]. The section above suggests that there may be additional copyright concerns; I have not checked to see if that content was removed.

The article needs to be rewritten unless permission can be verified. The template now blanking the article's front provides instruction for doing either. It will be revisited by an administrator in about week. If a rewrite is not proposed or permission not provided, it may be restored to this version, which does not seem to contain any of the copyrighted text. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:50, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article as a whole

The 'culture' part of this article is very interesting. Nice to have a section about some of the landmarks, with good descriptions of each one. The geography section is also very well done, informative and interesting. The history section could be extended by adding more details, such as the reason why many Lebanese Catholics were fleeing from the Muslims and the schismatics at the end of the seventeenth century.--Georgetowntolondon ^(talk)

comments on latest version

This article has some good information and a good outline, but really suffers because it has no references. The material used to write the article is also fairly limited. References are needed as are some real scholarly sources. You should look at some comparable entries on Wikipedia on other cities to see how they are written.

Climate data

Climate data has changed a few times, e.g. [3]. the current data we have does not agree with the source, but its wholly possible that its the source that has changed, not us. It is also possible that this town simply does not have a weather station, and all we are doing is oscillating from one nearby station to another. —Soap— 04:54, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I restored it to the sourced version. —Soap— 04:57, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
