Template

Could this go into the template? 65.95.15.144 (talk) 22:07, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Go for it 96.238.21.51 (talk) 17:53, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Gaza

Does this map contain Gaza? There seems to be a blip where Gaza should be... 65.95.15.144 (talk) 22:09, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Yes, it's in the .svg but it's really tiny. It only even shows up in the zoom image. ZeLonewolf (talk) 04:24, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Lebanon

It really is time for someone to add Lebanon. The Wikipedia article states "Hundreds of Lebanese rallied in the capital Beirut on 27 February against the country's political system known as Confessionalism in a march called "The Laique pride" calling for reform. A peaceful sit-in in Saida also took place.[160] Further protests took place in March." and even lists Lebanon as among the main country sections. Lebanon was one of the first countries to hold protests -they commenced upon the 12^th of January 2011; its government fell due to internal tensions on the same day. the 2011 Lebanese Protests article directly links these protests to the wider MENA protest movement. Besides, it was among the first countries to be included on the initial 2010-2011 Arab World protests.png image. Surely this means it qualifies as at least minor protests or perhaps governmental changes? Laika1097 (talk) 16:59, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Lebenon definitely needs to be changed to yellow or orange (I already did the coding on the template for it). Ŵïllî§ï$2? (^Talk!/_Sign)

Somalia

Why isn't Somalia colored anymore? Shouldn't it be yellow? Ŵïllî§ï$2? (^Talk!/_Sign) 15:32, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Somalia is not related to this current wave of unrest. Example ZeLonewolf (talk) 05:02, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Syria

The government of Syria has been overthrown so it is now the Syrian Revolution, so shouldn't it be in navy blue along with Egypt and Tunisia? GeorgeGriffiths (talk) 07:02, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Hardly overthrown, mate. Assad just changed a bunch of yes men, to put another bunch of yes men in their place. It'll only be a successful revolution if Assad himself gets overthrown. Aris Katsaris (talk) 23:59, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Expanding the map

I started a discussion over on the Talk page at the main article, and we're looking at including protests in Turkey, Azerbaijan, and possibly Armenia and/or Northern Cyprus as part of this main event rather than being "impact" (seeing as that those places are part of the Greater Middle East and several WP:RS, including Azerbaijani government officials, have connected them to the events elsewhere in the Middle East). Obviously it would be best if the map was edited to display perhaps two degrees of latitude further north to include them. -Kudzu1 (talk) 11:44, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
