[edit] Linguistic naming conventions

I find the sentence "Despite the lack of any central political authority, the region shared a common language (various dialects of Hebrew), religion and way of life" to be a tad deceptive. Hebrew and Phoenician (and a few others) were essentially dialects of the same Canaanite language. Hebrew was not the set, but rather a subset. I suggest a change to "(various dialects of Canaanite)." D.E. Cottrell (talk) 19:28, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Lebanese Jews → History of the Jews in Lebanon — Article should follow the same template as the history of the Jews in other countries. NYC2TLV 18:48, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

• Support, I am requesting this move. I believe that all these pages should follow the same template. -NYC2TLV 18:49, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

This article has been renamed from Lebanese Jews to History of the Jews in Lebanon as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 20:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't this move have been made to History of Jews in Lebanon (note the removal of the word "the")? — George ^[talk] 06:30, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

The number of the Lebanese Jews exceeds the 100 you are talking about in this article.
