Quote: "Des arabes chrétiens de rite grec orthodoxe, groupés principalement dans les trois gros villages de Skelbie (15), Maharde (38) et Kafr Bouhoum (79). Les paysans du premier de ces trois villages, au nombre de 3 400, sont venus, à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, du Hauran (1) d'où ils étaient chassés par les persécutions ottomanes. Ils s'établirent d'abord à Ain el-Kroum, en pays alaouite, pour fuir les vexations turques, puis vinrent occuper leur habitat actuel, grossi d'un certain nombre de chrétiens descendus des montagnes alaouites."

Source review and comments
  • This source puts the population at 20-35,000 people, significantly more than the infobox and lede number. The 17K figure is not supported by a citation.
  • I'd include the Arabic title in the reference entry of this article
  • I couldn't verify this passage on page 178 of the provided Robinson source: "It was listed as a khirba (deserted or ruined village) in 1838. " Can you please verify if you have cited the correct page?
  • Yes, let me clarify: the village is listed as 'Sukeilibiyeh' (crazy number of transliterations for this place's name in English sources btw) on p. 178. On page 112, the author explains that the asterisk next to a village's name indicates that "such places are in ruins or deserted". Al Ameer (talk) 01:57, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • The provided FAO link does not corroborate the Climate table. I noticed you didn't add the table and I think you can do without it.
@Al Ameer son: nice article and an interesting read. Overall, it meets the other criteria, but please take a look at the points above and let me know so I can do another review round.el.ziade (talkallam) 00:22, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
