Help Requested
I noticed there was an article which was only a stub about Tourism in Lebanon. I have started this page and listed important tourism destinations in Lebanon but I feel we can make this page much better and informative for prospective visitors who wish to know more about Lebanon than turmoil. If you have time please add more to this article, I will do my best to improve it!

Help request: 187 Lebanon-related articles needing geographical coordinates
Based on a search of Wikipedia's articles related to Lebanon, I've found some articles that I believe are about places in Lebanon, and could usefully have geographical coordinates added.

The articles in question are listed in Category:Lebanon articles missing geocoordinate data. At the time of writing, some examples included:
 * 1) Basloukit
 * 2) Bechamoun
 * 3) Green Line (Lebanon)
 * 4) Kfardlakos
 * 5) Mazraa
 * 6) North Governorate
 * 7) Platinum Tower (Beirut)

...and there are many more, as well. At the time of posting this notice, there were 187 articles in this category needing geographical coordinates.

Why add coordinates?
By adding coordinates, a Wikipedia reader can easily view the location on a street map, nautical chart, topographic map, by satellite photo, realtime weather map, and in many other ways. Coordinate data makes an article eventually appear in various services such as Google Maps' Wikipedia overlay, Google Earth, and Wikipedia's own internal map service. Coordinate data also helps readers looking for geographically-based data, such as locations near a reference point, or related information.

How can I do it?
The articles are all marked with coord missing tags, which need to be replaced with coord tags that contain the location's latitude/longitude coordinates; or you might be able to add coordinates to an existing infobox. You can find out how to do this at the Geocoding how-to for WikiProject members.

Please let me know if this is useful, or if I can help in any way. -- The Anome (talk) 22:48, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
