Talk:Bsharri

message: "The name is biblical, meaning ‘milky white’, and refers to the snow-covered cedars of the Lebanon Mountains."  I can't seem to find any justification for this unsourced comment, at least not from anywhere that's not a mirror of the Wikipedia site.  From what feeble research I can do, it seems that "ﺑﺸﺮﻱ" actually means something closer to "philanthropic". Can anyone else either confirm or refute this with a good source?

replies: text: After further research, it appears this comment is in reference not to the name Bsharri, but to Lebanon, which comes from the Aramaic word for "white".  Since it is mentioned already in both the Lebanon and Mount Lebanon articles, I've removed the sentence from this article.  Keldan 20:48, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: On an unrelated topic, the page on Gibran Khalil Gibran suggests - to my considerable suprise when I saw it - that Bcharre only became a Maronite village in the second half of the C19. Can anyone provide any source to this effect or to the contrary? Palmiro | Talk 17:59, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Bcharré's got about 30,000 inhabitants. Maybe one should mention this fact; at least, we can't call it a "village".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.52.139.139 (talk) 11:43, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: The article describes author/philosopher Khalil Gibran as "...the famous poet, painter and sculptor Khalil Gibran". I feel it would be more accurate to describe him as an "author" or perhaps an "author and philosopher".
