Finally done! I've given every section some content. I'll definately be revising this article to make it flow better, but I've basically added all the content I plan on putting in. I got a lot of my information from Wikipedia, but I parapharased and mixed in information from other sources. Nothing in here was copied.

==Status==
Did some tinkering-decided to eliminate most of the acronyms for militias, because they might confuse general readers, which is who this article is for. Added some background info to Civil War section and moved the bibliography to its subpage. I'm thinking of changing this article's status from developing to developed (its one of the longer country articles here), but I want to give other contributers a chance to comment first.

History section

Am working on history section. It'll probably take me a few edits today and maybe tomorrow to finish.Steven Clark Bennett 10:11, 18 November 2007 (CST)

Expanded the history section some more. I'll finish the rest over the next few days and do the other sections (which won't be nearly as in-depth as the history was). Any history editors, as well as any Lebanese users, are welcome to comment and make suggestions.Steven Clark Bennett 17:51, 18 November 2007 (CST)

Took a bit longer break than I expected. Did the other sections (except Economy, which I'll get to). Split History into pre and post WWI. I shrunk the pre-1918 section down. Hopefully, the post-1918 section will be the main focus of the article once I have it written-which should be in (hopefully) another week or so. Again, all comments welcome.Steven Clark Bennett 23:41, 25 November 2007 (CST)

Finally done! I've given every section some content. I'll definately be revising this article to make it flow better, but I've basically added all the content I plan on putting in. I got a lot of my information from Wikipedia, but I parapharased and mixed in information from other sources. Nothing in here was copied. Steven Clark Bennett 03:25, 15 March 2008 (CDT)

Good work!! I added a bibliography. Richard Jensen 03:44, 15 March 2008 (CDT)
