Talk:History of Lebanon

message: The article mentions the "five provinces" of Ottoman Lebanon that were dealt with by Sykes-Picot, but doesn't say what they were called. A map? This article redirects from Beirut Province, Ottoman Empire but there is no information about that province, what its extent was, what its neighbors were, what it's procession of governors was. What about the other four? Help! 216.231.46.147 01:37, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

=== Administration of Mount Lebanon ===
In 1861 the Ottomans separated Mount Lebanon from Syria. They reunited the geography under a non-Lebanese Christian mutasarrif (governor) appointed by the Ottoman sultan and who had approval of the European powers. 
The mutasarrif was assisted by an administrative council of twelve members from the various religious communities in Mount Lebanon:
* four Maronites
* three Druze
* one Turk (In the Ottoman Empire, Turk often referred to any Orthodox Sunni Muslim, regardless of ethnicity (as opposed to Ottoman non-Muslims) 
* two Greeks (Orthodox)
* one Greek Uniate (Melkite, or Greek Catholic)
* one Shiite
The members were elected from the seven districts  or Aqdya, 
* Batroun, one Maronite
* Keserwan, one Maronite
* Jezzine, one Maronite, one Druze and one Sunni Muslim
* Matn, one Maronite, one Druze, one Shiite and one Greek Orthodox
* Chouf, one Druze
* Kura, one Greek Orthodox
* Zahle, one Greek Catholic

message: Does amyone know where I could source and list the names of the 380 Ottoman Syrian Christian villages destroyed by Ottoman Syrian Druze and Muslims during the 1860 Lebanon conflict? Thanks! Chesdovi (talk) 09:49, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There are a number of books which deal with this conflict. These should be added to a Further readings section in the 1860 Lebanon conflict article. An Occasion for War written by Fawaz gives a detailed account of the fighting that occurred, you should check it out. Eklipse (talk) 09:20, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  380 villages destroyed by Ottoman Syrian Druze? 

message: While much of this article seems relatively accurate given my understanding of the history of the region, it is woefully lacking in citations.  If I get time I'll mark several of them, but as I read it I keep thinking citation, citation, citation!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.109.248.68 (talk) 15:04, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
