Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 20 May 2025

The article states that Syria is still affected by USA's and EU's embargoes. 178.173.219.77 (talk) 14:54, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
:File:Red question icon with gradient background.svg Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Day Creature (talk) 16:56, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
Extremely incorrect mistake in the infobox
The info box counts Alawites as apart of the shias, and yet they are completely distinct beliefs that have little to nothing to do with each other.
This isn’t any sort of political statement, it’s true. Google it, neither sides claim to be as apart of each other. 88.238.37.182 (talk) 13:57, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
Religion in Syria
It says in this page that the Christianity in Syria is 2.52-3.84% of population, and that is literally impossible because Christians in Syria constituted at least 12% of the population before the war and then during the war, most people who immigrated and were displayed were Muslims and Suunis specifically, so the Christian population must still be around the same like before the war. It is misleading to say that an ancient community in Syria, who built this country is that small and outnumbered. I definitely recommend changing this information considering another resource. Even the Muslim percentage is way too high. There is a lot of atheists and agnostics in the country. In addition to shia and Ismailis and Alawites. Check the Religion in Syria page and sources used there. Sami.vahit (talk) 16:11, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
2025 emblem has not been adopted yet
The emblem revelaed tonight has not yet been made official and is not in public use besides that one single instance at the presentation by the president. It is jumping the gun to immediately include it as the de facto or official emblem of Syria. Avenflight (talk) 22:25, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
:it is the official emblem, all govermental institutions have adopted it as well as that it had an official ceremony so i don't see why you wouldn't think that it is the official emblem and if they do change it then we can change it again. 31.9.154.92 (talk) 04:52, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
::The IP was correct — even the [https://x.com/syr_republic/status/1940852970884940234 newly established official Twitter account] has already been updated, and [https://sana.sy/en/?p=362638 some sources] have confirmed that this is the new emblem. So, there's no need for further discussion unless another update is made. HurricaneEdgar 07:49, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
:::Well, put simply, it isnt passed into law. It was only revealed. I'm not sure a twitter account updating a profile image constitutes a full transition of government symbolism. I'm all for including the emblem as the likely new one in the article but until we have concrete information on the final form (whether they'll be using the 2D logo or the 3D image for instance) as well as seeing wider use, it might be more responsible of us to keep the current de facto emblem. But like i said, it feels like we're jumping the gun in our excitement at the prospect of a new emblem. Avenflight (talk) 09:20, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
::::I would also add that Wikipedia often puts much greater demands on use before it makes changes. Take the "Czechia debate". The name has been official for nearly a decade now but Wikipedia wants it to be majority used before it adopts it. I'd say waiting for the emblem here to at least be enshrined in law before changing the official image isn't that much of an ask in this comparison. Avenflight (talk) 11:07, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
