[edit] Hi

Got the invite too, I hope I can help. My maternal grandmother's whole family was from Lebanon but moved to the United States around 1900. I don't know much about the culture except the food, which I love and have learned to cook pretty well I think. I wouldn't mind doing more research to help as well. -- Dougie WII (talk) 18:00, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

You cannot rate articles however you like. There is a system for doing so. There is a process for labeling an article as GA quality. It must be nominated and reviewed by a group of other editors. Read WP:GA for details on how this is done. ← George ^[talk] 08:55, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] REfernces references references!!!

hey guys, first let me congrat. u all for the progress that was done during the last year, some articles are better referenced and organized and we have an all time record in GA rated articles . nevertheless there are still many important articles who need expert contributions , soooo many need referencing and a good bunch simply require deletion.

a few tips for the editors, please do not write anything without a reference, do not start articles about unimportant people or places, (please read about notability), it is not admissible to write an article about a family notable who is only known in his hometown, nor to start an article about a food bazaar which is held once every say 8 years ...

I recently mediated the deletion of some articles and a CV (some actually write autobiographies here). these articles were of "un"-notable people which made some editors upset.

I will not apologize nor do i regret any of my actions.

and one more thing, Paleeeaaaaase.. references MUST be reliable and unbiased. Eli+ 05:38, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lebanese music industry

I've been unable to find information pertaining to the Lebanese music industry, so I was hoping someone here could help me. Is there a Lebanese equivalent to the Recording Industry Association of America or British Phonographic Industry? I ask because I'm working on a global music-market type article (List of music recording sales certifications) and I've been unable to find much info pertaining to the Lebanese music industry. Any help anyone could give would very much appreciated. Drewcifer (talk) 02:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
