Results

The source says: Figures and rates: The number of voters in the northern El Maten district totaled 163,069 voters divided according to their sects as follows:

Maronites 50298.
Eastern Orthodox 14638.
Armenians 28637.
Other Christian sects 39615.
Shiites 1645.
Druze 1,347.

A total of 83,562 voters cast their ballots as follows: Maronites 30291, Eastern Orthodox 8363, and Armenians 8222.

Unless you have trouble reading, which I hope you don't, only Maronites, Orthodox and Armenians voted in the elections. As for Ya Libnan, it is inarguably a pro-government website, if not a government propaganda machine. Visit the website and see for yourself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.216.123.254 (talk) 23:40, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to the article states that "the results of the elections show that no Muslims or Druze cast their ballots." By your own quotation of your source, "a total of 83,562 voters cast their ballots as follows: Maronites 30291, Eastern Orthodox 8363, and Armenians 8222." Now tell me, what is 30,291 + 8,363 + 8,222? Is it 83,562? No, it's 46,876 - barely half of the "83,562 voters who cast their ballots." The source is listing three large subsets of the vote, it is not an exhaustive list of who voted.

Regarding your assertion that Ya Libnan is a pro-government website, this could be true, but if you're going to insert a claim to that end, you need to add a reliable source that states so. Using your or my personal opinion on the issue is original research, a violation of Wikipedia's policy.

Lastly, I'd invite you to continue discussions here before pushing your point of view by continually inserting this into the article. Find additional, better sources that support your contention, and try to build a consensus on the talk page. The burden of proof is on those attempting to add information to the article. If you continue to push this information into the article without first working to build a consensus, I will move to have the page protected. ← George^[talk] 00:01, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
