There is hateful content in the last paragraph of the Lebanon article's introduction. In the sentence "Despite the country's small size,[25] Lebanese culture is renowned..." The words "Lebanese culture" links to 'the culture of Lebanon page', however when one hovers over the link, the preview page reads: 'Lebanon sucks my but u fT LOSER.' This should be changed, and whoever made the page edit banned. Ethelepson ( talk) 04:08, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
The infobox gives the pronunciation al-jumhūrīyah al-Lubnānīyah. Is this not an example of the construct state, where the tāʼ marbūṭa should be pronounced /t/, giving al-jumhūrīyat? Largoplazo ( talk) 22:48, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
Lebanon uses the green cedar as a de facto emblem, it is used on ID Cards, passports, embassies... 178.135.3.140 ( talk) 18:23, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Add the coat of arms of Lebanon 76.113.236.36 ( talk) 20:10, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
Not done:
As you can see above, tThis is already being debated, as can be seen in the article's history and by virtue of the deletion nomination for
Coat of arms of Lebanon, and no one has supplied genuine evidence that the country has an official coat of arms.

Hi, I started a draft, Draft:Languages of Lebanon, which merged content from English language in Lebanon, French language in Lebanon, Levantine Arabic, Lebanese Arabic and this page, but also added some information that's not on any of these pages. I'd love if you could help me improve it. FunLater ( talk) 16:01, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
I cannot get the preview text to show up whenever I hover over with my cursor on a link to this page. Rugoconites Tenuirugosus ( talk) 18:10, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
I'd like to propose a nuanced edit regarding the Lebanese Arabic pronunciation IPA of the country. Specifically, I recommend changing the current representation "[lɪbˈneːn]" to "[ləbˈneːn]. In the context of representing the first vowel sound, it is more accurate to use the schwa ([ə]) symbol representing a mid central vowel sound. Unstressed vowels, such as the one found in 'Lebanon,' often exhibit regional and personal variations, ranging from [lub'ne:n] to [lib'ne:n]. Therefore, employing the schwa ([ə]) serves as a neutral and appropriate choice, accommodating these linguistic differences while maintaining precision and clarity in the pronunciation guide.

According to the constitution of Lebanon, the system of government is a parliamentary republic. 185.76.178.100 ( talk) 10:04, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
The Coat of arms of Lebanon page has been developed enough, so i guess it should be okay putting the coat of arms on this page. 185.76.178.100 ( talk) 10:06, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
In the introductory paragraph it is stated that Lebanon is the second smallest country in Asia. However, in the linked list of countries by area several more asian countries are listed as smaller.
From what I see, the Maldives, Singapore, Bahrain, and Brunei are all smaller, which would make Lebanon the fifth smallest country in Asia. 134.61.71.115 ( talk) 12:48, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Two of the most famous Brazilian authors: Raduan Nassar and Milton Hatoum are both of Lebanese descent. That said I'm not sure if either had Lebanese citizenship. In order to be included under the Literature Section, should the author be of confirmed Lebanese citizenship or is Lebanese descent enough? Alcibiades979 ( talk) 18:56, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
There seems to be an edit war over this. I think I have some sympathy with Smint34's edit but it should be agreed here. Pinging User:Duvasee. DeCausa ( talk) 21:51, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
Phoenicia predates Lebanon, so if Wikipedia is going to use this non-encyclopedic metaphor "home", ancient Phoenicia is now "home" to what is currently being called "Lebanon". Plus the source give doesn't even say these words, and the source is also not encyclopedic, even if it is somehow associated with Princeton. Describing an ancient trade as coming from the "innards" of snails is one example of the very casual and chatty tone of the source and so I doubt it's use for Wikipedia in any way, for factual reasons, for prioritization of topics (meaning elevating that which is entertaining over that which is objectively significant), and in general a sloppy, half-assed column that would be more appropriately found in a news magazine like "People", and not being used as source material for an encyclopedia. Meaning that, I read the Wikipedia Article, and I still don't know the history of the areas of the Middle East that is now known as "Lebanon", no matter what words it might be currently using, I don't trust them, or the Article.
