Asma al-Assad

Hi there, I assume you speak Arabic (?) and wondered if you wanted to help with the Asma al-Assad article. See the discussion page, we cant find an official source (Syrian government would be good) for her official title, is it "First Lady of Syria" (or the local equivalent). Now I understand this is subject to controversy in Syria, and I don’t want to start an edit war, but help would be welcome. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SasiSasi (talk • contribs) 21:27, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Syrian military presence

Don't waste your time on Misplaced Pages. Israel "anonymously" donated over $250,000 to Misplaced Pages so that its team of paid editors like User:Jayjg and User:Humus sapiens be given special privileges and administrative powers to write whatever suits Israel. Don't waste your time. People are paid to edit the articles you're likely to be interested in. Nooo1 (talk) 18:56, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

I just noticed the comment above. It's a good thing you know that these people are paid to do what they do. Nooo1 (talk) 21:19, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

I am not sure about the paying thing, but I can say for sure there are editros that are biased for Israel. e.g. user:Hertz1888 doesn't allow me to write that the Golan Heights are Syrian occupied territory according to the UN and international law. He says the UN is "biased" and the story "has more to it than what UN maps show." He wants me to convince the zionist editors with recognizing the UN first and after that I can edit. His name looks like a Zionist name but he denies it. This is just a specimen of the kind of editors that is out there, so don't get too emotional about it. Misplaced Pages is biased. If you find a bised article just add the tag to it.HD1986 (talk) 23:26, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Maybe they aren't getting paid but they fear that they would have to pay. I think there are zionist groups that are suing Misplaced Pages for "anti-Semitism;" this may be the reason for what you see. HD1986 (talk) 02:10, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Tahya Souria

Hi George, sorry for the late reply, yes we will have some other admins look at this because the current name has been unendorsed. I tried to move it but it doesn't work so i've requested help. Appreciate the support. Izzedine (talk) 04:50, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Tabouleh

Hi George, maybe you could use this source - .

CUISINE
It is difficult to separate specifically Syrian foods from those made popular by the Greater Syrian population. Such standard fare in America as pita bread and crushed chick pea or eggplant spreads, hommos and baba ganouj, both come from the former Syrian heartland. The popular salad, tabouli, is also a Greater Syrian product. Other typical foods include cheeses and yogurts, and many of the fruits and vegetables common to the eastern Mediterranean, including pickles, hot peppers, olives, and pistachios..

Eastern Mediterranean

• Hello. I noticed your edits to the article Eastern Mediterranean. I have no interest in editing or changing the article, but only was wondering if you might be able to answer a question for me. I have always understood the term "Eastern Mediterranean" to not only encompass the nations of the Levant, but Greece, Turkey and Egypt as well. Is my understanding of the term unusual in that regard? The Scythian 22:35, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Thank you for the response. I guess I always lumped those nations into the same overall "cultural sphere", regardless of language or even religion, due to the historical connections going back thousands of years. Of course, my generalization is very sweeping in nature, even if as a direct categorization, it is much too broad. I do the same thing with with the Western Mediterranean nations such as Italy and Spain, as well as the region of Iran and Central Asia. The Scythian 19:27, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

I am sorry if I hurt you in removing the Syrian bottle picture. I just wanted to illustrate more adequatly this part of the article (Lebanese brands). I have nothing against Syria. I went there last April and I loved it. --Bgag (talk) 05:35, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
