Popular song by Chris de Burgh. /info/en/?search=Timing_Is_Everything_(album) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.236.138.31 ( talk) 09:26, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
Much of this article (from "Independence" onwards) appears identical to this page at the website Global Religious Views. I suspected plagiarism because this is a huge amount of text to have absolutely no references and some of it is not very encyclopedic in style. It's possible the plagiarism runs the other way as unfortunately that website gives no dates or author credit. Hairy Dude ( talk) 12:14, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
Please add a source on the Christian Palestinians fighting with the PLO part. Palestinian Christians fought on both sides of the war. 2600:1001:B114:C3EF:0:11:50E2:5F01 ( talk) 17:51, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Change "Jumblatt.After the Israelis from Chouf," to "Jumblatt. After the Israelis withdrew from Chouf," Danzig90 ( talk) 08:40, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
Jillian Becker seems to be considered a partisan source even at the time The PLO was first published ( https://merip.org/1985/06/becker-the-plo/). Is there a better source showing the attacks came from Lebanon? 152.130.7.65 ( talk) 15:12, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
The text below states that the PLO response to the Israeli retaliatory attacks is "a clear violation of the ceasefire", stating it as a fact. However, there is no context on the ceasefire that explains why the PLO attacks are a violation and the Israeli attacks are not. As a casual reader, the statement stating one side is guilty of violating the ceasefire immediately after a sentence stating that the other side attacked first reads as very biased. I tried backing up and trying to find more context in the rest of the article but couldn't find any. Attempting to search elsewhere on the wiki also didn't reveal any more context.
I think the the last sentence of the passage below should be removed or more context/a citation added to support the statement. If there is supporting context elsewhere on the wiki it should be quoted or linked here.
"On 3 June 1982, the Abu Nidal Organization, a splinter group of Fatah, attempted to assassinate Israeli ambassador Shlomo Argov in London. Israel carried out a retaliatory aerial attack on PLO and PFLP targets in West Beirut that led to over 100 casualties. The PLO responded by launching a counterattack from Lebanon with rockets and artillery, which constituted a clear violation of the ceasefire." 152.130.7.65 ( talk) 15:32, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
There is no need to hyphenate “Maronite Christians”. 82.36.70.45 ( talk) 16:04, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
Large amounts of this article are improperly cited. The intro has two paragraphs that make many claims and then have only one or no citations for them.
“ The link between politics and religion had been reinforced under the French Mandate from 1920 to 1943, and the country's parliamentary structure favoured a leading position for Lebanese Christians, who constituted the majority of Lebanon's population. However, the country's Muslim minority was still relatively large, and the influx of thousands of Palestinians—first in 1948 and again in 1967—contributed to Lebanon's demographic shift towards an eventual Muslim majority. Lebanon's Christian-dominated government had been facing increasing levels of opposition from Muslims, pan-Arabists, and a number of left-wing groups. To this end, the Cold War exerted a disintegrative effect on the country, closely linked to the political polarization that preceded the 1958 Lebanese crisis. Christians mostly sided with the Western worldwhile Muslims, pan-Arabists, and leftists mostly sided with Soviet-aligned Arab countries.”
is an example and this is one of the only parts of the article most people will read. Is there someone who has edit permission who can clean this up ? 109.255.35.74 ( talk) 10:26, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I just wanted to suggest two more films, both of them excellent, that you could add to the "In Popular Culture" section. Firstly, you definitely ought to have the Ziad Doueiri film West Beirut listed there. And even though it's not set at the time of the Civil War, you might also consider adding Doueiri's much later film The Insult, which is all about memories of the Civil War, a bit like Memory Box. That's all! Thanks for reading :~) Eastofeast ( talk) 21:36, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
Exactly how many Palestinians were killed in the Bus Massacre? The article here says 30, the article on the Massacre itself notes 27, Fawwaz Traboulsi's A History of Modern Lebanon claims 21 (page 182), and David Gilmour says 27 in Lebanon: the Fractured Country (page 109). 138.251.228.150 ( talk) 20:12, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
