I would like to inform you George you may not post more than 3 times a day on a single article. This is a warning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.41.71.189 (talk) 21:31, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Randomly walking around on Misplaced Pages, I saw that note, and I couldn't resist explaining that this so called warning is not true in any way at all. Do not trust anonymous warnings: you can post as many times as you wish on an article — I've done it many times without trouble. There is a three revert rule, but that doesn't apply to editing. Keep on editing, keep your spirits high, and edit to your hearts contents. Cheers! ... said: Rursus (bork²) 08:31, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protection on Lebanon?

The Lebanon article gets vandalized quite a bit. . . Do you think it would be worthwhile to request semi-protection? Mnation2 (talk) 15:37, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, I tried. Mnation2 (talk) 23:54, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Za'atar

• More than half the references list salt as an ingredient. This funny conversation between two women about its ingredients shows they disagree on the name of the herb, but agree as to the inclusion of salt. The refs on the use of za'atar and other "spiced salts" in medieval Arab cuisine (cited in the article), lead me to believe it can be described as a spiced salt.
• In Nazareth, most people make za'atar with at least a little bit of salt. In East Jerusalem, half of the za'atar is salt (some even using lemon salt to give it an extra zing). I'm not going to fight you over the word "often", but I do think that salt is an important basic ingredient in most za'atar recipes and should be mentioned somehow when describing the basic recipe.

I'll ask the women in town too about when they put the salt in and how much. I know my mom sometimes makes za'atar in the Lebanese style and I'll ask her what the difference is between that one and our domestic version. Thanks for the reply and followup. Tiamut 11:05, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Muhammad al-Durrah

I'm pressed for time right now, and if the wording is changed, I won't revert again. People who think this is a hoax are crackpots, in my opinion, and they discredit themselves. Dynablaster (talk) 16:26, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm having trouble posting at the moment, but please note that the last sentence in your proposed rewording is wrong; the Israeli government disclaimed its own spokesman's claims about the case, saying that he was only expressing his personal opinion. The government's position is that it has nothing further to add to the official reports that were done at the time (i.e. exonerating the IDF). -- ChrisO (talk) 18:14, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

I disagree with part of your edit of 2006 Lebanon War

Your removal of the phrase "On July 14, 2009 an underground Hezbollah ammunition depot set off a massive series of explosions in the South Lebanese village of Khirbat Silim, just ten miles north of the Israeli-Lebanese border" greatly detracted from the article. Subbing in the word "explosion" just didn't cut it. Nezzadar (talk) 00:34, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

I disagree with part of your edit of 2006 Lebanon War

I agree with Nezzadar on this. The explosions were multiple and massive sending many of the residents in the village into a panic. The original wording, ("On July 14, 2009 an underground Hezbollah ammunition depot set off a massive series of explosions in the South Lebanese village of Khirbat Silim, just ten miles north of the Israeli-Lebanese border") was a more accurate reflection of actual events.

Also, in the Nov 21, 2005 abduction attempt, four, not three gunmen were killed. The first 3 were killed when the bullet hit the Hezbollah munitions and a fouth was killed later in the battle.

It would have been nice of you to consult with me before making changes and we could come to consensus. Jiujitsuguy--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 04:41, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
