Hi I was editing a page on the Prince Bashir III , which was a rulers of Mount LEBANON in the 1800s , history books tell very little about him, what have reached us was just tales told by villagers and very few historians, I was about to add a link to the author that told these stories on TV http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%8A

so would you please put back my writing Thanks--Hichamm (talk) 17:45, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please try to maintain a more neutral point of view in the entry. Currently, it reads like an attack page. He may well have been a bad ruler, but those statements all need inline citations from reliable sources. Thank you. Wperdue (talk) 17:58, 8 June 2009 (UTC)wperdue[reply]

I have tidied up the text somewhat to make it more readable and corrected spelling and grammar. I have also added a section titled "How Bashir IIi Is remembered". Bigweeboy (talk) 15:13, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 02:36, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Was he Maronite or Muslim?

The Bashir Shihab II article says that he (B.S. II) was "[b]orn in a family who had converted from Sunni Islam, the religion of previous Shihabi Emirs, he was the only Maronite ruler of the Emirate of Mount Lebanon.^[1] But this, the Bashir III, article does not say in any way how Bashir III is related to B.S. II, and since the family page mentions both Muslim and Christian members, it seems that not the entire clan had converted - or maybe some converted back? In a context like Lebanon's, this seems to me of some significance. Arminden (talk) 11:46, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
