A fact from Liwan appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 19 December 2007.

This reminds me of the Roman atrium (architecture). Is there any ancestral relationship? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.148.38.26 (talk) 20:48, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

There could very well be. I haven't found that specific bit of information yet, but it seems possible given the Roman presence in Palestine, Lebanon and the Levant in general. If I (or you) do find anything concrete, we can add it to the article. Happy hunting! Tiamut 23:56, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] disambig needed

This article does not show the subject different enough from Iwan. Correct me if I am wrong. Tar-ba-gan (talk) 17:48, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Do you mean to suggest that Iwans are the same as Liwans? That may be true, but we need to find some reliable sources that discuss both before attempting a merge. I'll try to locate some soon. Tiamut^talk 10:09, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
