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. [[User:Valleygardens\|Valleygardens]] ([[User talk:Valleygardens\|talk]]) 18:21, 25 September 2023 (UTC) ~~== System of government ==~~ According to the constitution of Lebanon, the system of government is a parliamentary republic.

The article says [[parliamentary democracy]] - was this what you were concerned about? According to the page [[parliamentary democracy]], it is basically a parliamentary system, so using it in this context isn't incorrect I feel.

[[User:Wkpdsrnm2023\|Wkpdsrnm2023]] ([[User talk:Wkpdsrnm2023\|talk]]) 09:12, 22 October 2023 (UTC) :@[[User:Largoplazo\|Largoplazo]] I found some sources proving that it is indeed the unofficial coat of arms of Lebanon. It is mentioned and illustrated in page 64 of the book “Guide to the flags of the world” [https://archive.org/details/guidetoflagsofwo00talo/page/64/mode/1up]. It is also illustrated on page 62 of “The world of flags: a pictorial history” [https://archive.org/details/worldofflagspict0000cram/page/62/mode/2up].

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.

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? [[User:Alcibiades979\|Alcibiades979]] ([[User talk:Alcibiades979\|talk]]) 18:56, 23 October 2023 (UTC) :I would think that either should be fine, as long as that Lebanese connection is notable and mentioned in good sources.

[[User:Criticalthinker\|Criticalthinker]] ([[User talk:Criticalthinker\|talk]]) 09:10, 29 September 2024 (UTC) :Wait, now I'm seeing shapefiles that have a third administrative level below "Districts" called "sub-districts" which appear to be smaller than the [[List of municipalities of Lebanon\|municipalities]]? I know all of these may not be functional, but what's going on? Someone please make sense of this and bring sources. Just as an example, which municipalities make up "Dahieh"?
