Talk:Martyrs' Square, Beirut

Article name
Why does this article use the French name on the English Wikipedia? Shouldn't this article be moved to Martyr's Square? — George Saliba[ talk ] 22:45, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm moving this article to Martyrs' Square, per naming policy. A quick google search of |"Martyrs Square" Lebanon yields 39,800 results, while |"Place des Martyrs" Lebanon only returns 599. — George Saliba [ talk  ] 22:18, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Names of the martyrs
Can someone in Lebanon go to the plate on the memorial and take a photo of the plate showing the names of the martyrs? I would appreciate it if the names were written here and when this article is expanded because there is a lot of history behind the story which lead to the murder of the leaders. I will do some research and collect reference material to include here in time.7aresslubnan 10:09, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Update required
I agree with the previous post, the names of the martyrs are quite important. Can someone do as 7aresslubnan suggests? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.240.204.160 (talk) 01:56, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Misspelling
"El Burj" or "Place de Cannon" in the 1930s. This caption seems to contain a misspelling. "Cannon" in French should be "Canon". METRANGOLO1 (talk) 07:20, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
