[edit] Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon
This is certainly a notable event. I recommend linking the event to the article (or creating one). That would be an appropriate forum to present research regarding the occupation, withdrawal, and related events. True or not, the deleted sentence is more a matter for such an article than it is for the events section of a date article. Rklawton 21:08, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- Great articles! However, the Operation Litani 1978 invasion didn't seem relevant to this particular withdrawal since this withdrawal was from the 1982 invasion. The Operation Litani withdrawal had been apparently been completed previously. I agree that the Litani invasion is part of the Israeli invasion history (as stated in the 1982 invasion article) but it's not really part of the withdrawal event that took place on May 25th. As a result, I removed the Litani reference and reworded the event for clarity. Folks who click on the invasion link will quickly see the Litani link and hence the history of invasions. I hope these edits meet with everyone's approval. Rklawton 03:43, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

- Israel did not completely withdraw its forces after Litani Operation. See United Nations Security Council Resolution 425. I have started a new article, Liberation Day of Lebanon. Cheers--A rihani 08:42, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

- As per the Litani article cited in the event: Lebanon's claim that Israel has not fully withdrawn (see Shebaa Farms) was explicitly rejected by the UN's Secretary-General's report which led to UN Security Council Resolution 1583. I had changed the number of years to 18 for the sake of consistancy between articles. I trust your proposed article will explore this issue further. Once the dust settles, please revisit the event on this page. If the number of years remains in contention, perhaps we should limit the reference in this article to the facts that are not in dispute, namely, Iraeli soldiers withdrew from Lebanon on this day in 2000.

- You are right about the UN Security Council Resolution 1583. This should be included whenever Shebaa Farms is mentioned. You are welcome to edit that page any time :) As for the number of years, I do not understand why it should be subject to dispute. Israeli army partially withdrew from Lebanon after United Nations Security Council Resolution 425 was adopted before invading again in 1982. The Israelis do not deny that and it is obvious in the UN Secretary General report which states that the Israeli army was out of Lebanon as of June 2000. If the Israeli army completely withdrew before 1982, the UN would have reported the withdrawal in accordance with Resolution 425 by that time. Cheers--A rihani 16:02, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- I had the impression from the Litani article the UN had reported the full withdrawal. Since you are more familiar with the specifics, could you review these articles and make sure the language is clear enough for everyone to understand? That's probably how I got confused.

- You are right. Litani Operation article is misleading. I think it is not NPOV at all and it needs lots of work. I hope you can help. I have done a quick edit and I will do more later. Cheers--A rihani 21:29, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Carpet Day conflict
I get conflicting information about whether Carpet Day is always celebrated on May 25, or whether it's a floating holiday observed on the last Sunday in May. [1] vs. [2] Joyous! | Talk 15:51, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
