improve its quality. Please replace this template with a more specific
media request template where possible.
Per
WP:BRD, I have reverted a bold edit that deleted most instances of £L from the article. Use of the abbreviation £L in Lebanon is well documented, even if the Government of Lebanon appears to have stopped using it. Any proposal to "de-emphasise" it in this article requires consensus. Better evidence than
WP:OR examination of recent government-issue banknotes would be wise. "I have not been able to find" is a red flag – maybe you didn't look hard enough?

It seems the Syrian and Lebanese pounds largely stopped being abbreviated as "£S" and "£L" in domestic sources sometime in the 1960s, with legacy use outside of the Levant continuing until the 1990s, although the World Bank seem to have wholeheartedly embraced Lebanon's standardising on "LL", with no documents at all on their site using "£L".

The code "GBP" was added out of spite by a malicious editor intent on upsetting somebody, so I oppose that usage. It is quite strange how they used decimal points and two zeroes even though sterling was not a decimal currency at the time. This was a
WP:POINTy edit intended to cause trouble. The prior statement "to sterling at" and the use of the abbreviation "LL" for the Lebanese pound (curiously the POINTy editor did not change that to "LBP", again adding to my suspicion it was a purely malicious edit) already fully demarcated them. I have no issue with the specific numbers (I had not even noticed those).

This shows all the signs of being another sock of banned editor TheCurrencyGuy, who is in no position to accuse anyone of making
WP:POINTy edits. The changes you want to make do not have consensus. Do not attempt to make them again. --
