Page protection

I've protected this because of the reverting between Yuber and John McW over the passage below, which is also being disputed at Syria. Could Yuber say what's wrong with it? Please discuss it on the talk page here or at Talk:Syria, with no more reverting. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 03:38, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Lebanese scholar Habib C. Malik has called the influx of Syrian workers into Lebanon "nothing short of a movement toward Syrian colonization of Lebanon." (Between Damascus and Jerusalem: Lebanon and Middle East Peace (The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, 1997), p. 42). In 1994, under pressure from Syria, the Lebanese government granted citizenship to over 200,000 Syrians resident in the country. Syrian nationals make up at least one-third of Lebanon's resident population. [2]

As neither John nor Yuber has responded, I'm unprotecting. Please don't either of you revert this again. Discuss it here between you on talk, leave the current version as it is, or invite other editors to join the discussion. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 21:42, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

POV quotes don't belong in a history article. Habib C. Malik's quote does not relate to the general History of Syria. Yuber^(talk) 22:43, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
