GA criteria

IMO, the lead could stand expansion to two or three paragraphs, as it is a reasonably long article. (t · c) buidhe 03:20, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Observations

Consider (Lede): print a number of books and to circulate Maronitism and Lebanese nationalism Since the link for Maronitism goes to Maronite politics it might be better to put this in the text instead of Maronitism.

Mokarzel represented the Lebanon League of Progress in the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 where he advocated French tutelage over Mount Lebanon. What is the source for this statement?

Same ref as those at the end of the passage, I added them at the end of the pasage. _Elias Z. (talkallam) 12:31, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Religion and sectarianism

The first paragraph in this section is too long without citations. (It looks like original research.) Put some more references in sentences.

Citations from original articles by MK added. _Elias Z. (talkallam) 07:21, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

With respect to Mokarzel's conflict with the Maronite clergy, we need to have some reference to their control over the ignorant, uneducated, backward Syrian women in the US (in this section; I know there is a following section on Female literacy).

I added a passage about clergy meddling in women affairs and a line about child and forced marriage. _Elias Z. (talkallam) 07:21, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

This is a very well referenced and researched article.

(Comment) I am not altogether sure about Arabic page numbers in references.

Yep. It's like Roman numerals in some book preambles. _Elias Z. (talkallam) 07:21, 22 March 2021 (UTC) [reply]
