This article is pathetically small!--Greasysteve13 10:59, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Well it used to be: [1].--Greasysteve13 13:21, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

The inscription of the lower picture is wrong: It is IMPOSSIBLE to see Tripoli from the Krak des Chevaliers in Syria! The distance amounts to about mountainous 50 km. M0s6p 16:15, 8/30/2006 (CET)

[edit] Tripoli Province, Ottoman Empire

What was the precise extent of the province under the Ottomans? This article redirects from there but has no information; it's just about the city. 216.231.46.147 01:32, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

tripoli, a beautiful city in its own right, no matter where u can see it from.211.28.7.164 04:59, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Tripoli is extremely well planned and has many modern buildings and villas (especially the Maarad street area), i think it will be more accurate to show this large part of the city along side the extremely poor area shown above the River Abu Ali.

[edit] More images?

This article could really need some more pictures, and perhaps some more sections other than that huge text about the city's history. I had taken a few photos myself when I last visited, but I have no idea where they are now. -193.193.85.118 10:46, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Too long? I don't thinl so

Therefore I removed that template. --213.155.231.26 09:38, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Modern history?

Why is there nothing about it? Funkynusayri (talk) 14:11, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Because no one's added it yet? Feel free to expand.  :) --Elonka 15:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Heh, I know, but I don't know enough to write anything worth wile, I just assumed the guy who wrote all the other history stuff would had written on, but for some reason he didn't. Funkynusayri (talk) 15:45, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
My guess is because he "ran out of source." Usually when I'm updating a history page, I'm working from a history book (or a stack of history books) that focus on a specific period of history. Also, when I have those books in front of me, I'll generally be working on many different articles, but all within that "slice" of timeframe. For example, right now I'm working on the Crusades, which means that I have a couple dozen books on the Crusades in my living room, and I'm adding a lot of information about 1200s and 1300s to many Wikipedia articles, but it may leave those articles with sudden gaps for post-1300 information.  :) Eventually someone will come along with other sources and continue filling in the information. If you'd like to help, check out scholar.google.com or books.google.com , there's a lot of good info there. Sometimes you can read entire books online that way. :) --Elonka 17:17, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • That makes a lot of sense, I should had thought of that! Funkynusayri (talk) 17:49, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
