Great Famine of Mount Lebanon

[edit]

Created by Elie plus (talk). Self-nominated at 21:38, 24 January 2016 (UTC).

  • Comment The article lead states, "The famine was caused by a confluence of political and environmental factors". So, "caused" should be replaced by something like "led to" in the hooks, which I have now done. Edwardx (talk) 23:48, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
  • This article is new enough and long enough. ALT2 would probably be the best hook as there are large differences in the estimated number of deaths. The article is neutral but is not acceptable as it contains close paraphrasing, with some sentences copied verbatim from the sources. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:13, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
  • Issues addressed, the copied Gibran passages are quoted. ~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 21:25, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
  • The issues appear to be resolved and ALT2 is good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:23, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
