message: I've removed the following passage from the text:
:-In October 2006 the Israeli website DEBKAfile reported that Sidon had been taken over as a Russian-Syrian spy base and Hezbollah stronghold having had two Russian Chechen GRU platoons deployed to Southern Lebanon some time earlier.. There was no confirmation of the item in any mainstream news outlet.
The last sentence of this seems by itself to provide sufficient evidence of why it shouldn't be included. (This is leaving aside the evident improbability, in current circumstances, of the Hariri hometown being "taken over as a Russian-Syrian spy base".) But even if better sources were found to support this, short articles on major cities aren't in any case the place for inclusion of every rumour or allegation about what particular paramilitary forces might have what level of presence there.

message: The article needs to address why & how the city has two names (Sidon / Saida), and which is the preferred term. It should also pick one or the other and use it consistantly throughout the article, unless there's a reason not to. Currently the article uses either randomly.

message: Why is the article called Sidon, and not Saïda, as it's called in Lebanon? It is a Lebanese city, not a Hebrew one, so why is it given the Hebrew name instead of the Arabic?
