File:Information.svg Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (File:Insert-signature.png or File:Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

You need to provide sources for all changes. Please read carefully the "Rules for Editing the Map" below before editing the map. Tradedia^talk 15:55, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

| text = Rules for Editing the Map

1- A reliable source for that specific edit should be provided.

a) A well-known source that has a reputation for neutral (not biased) territorial control coverage, can be used (is deemed reliable) for all edits.

b) A well-known source that does not have a reputation for neutral (not biased) territorial control coverage, can be used (is deemed reliable) only for edits that are unfavorable to the side it prefers (favorable to the side it opposes).

c) A source that is not well-known (or that has proven inaccurate for all edits) cannot be used (is deemed unreliable) for any edit. This includes all maps (see item 2- next).

2- Copying from maps is strictly prohibited. Maps from mainstream media are approximate and therefore unreliable for any edit. Maps from amateur sources are below the standards of Wikipedia for any edit. They violate WP:RS and WP:CIRCULAR.

WP:RS: “Anyone can create a personal web page or publish their own book, and also claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published media, such as books, patents, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs, Internet forum postings, and tweets, are largely not acceptable as sources.” Source: Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published_sources

WP:CIRCULAR: “Do not use websites that mirror Wikipedia content or publications that rely on material from Wikipedia as sources.”

3- WP:POV pushing and intentional misinterpretation of sources will not be tolerated. If you are not sure about what the source is saying (or its reliability), post it on the talk page first so that it would be discussed.

User:Tradedia The edits were reverting edits without sources, where are the sources for the recent changes??? I was reverting the area to the way it was as their is no evidence of change.

:No, the edits you reverted were made with reliable sources. And what about the unsourced edits you made relating to Zabadani, Madaya and half a dozen military bases in Aleppo that were obviously wrong? Tradedia^talk 16:30, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

@Tradedia Also the same with At Taff and Sha' arah which was changed and not even contested both of them around 10 days ago, you got a source for that?? It is not vandelism to revert an edit error made by another user, an edit based with no source as well.SyrianObserver2015 (talk) 15:38, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Image:Information.svg Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at :Talk:Cities and towns during the Syrian Civil War, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Jackmcbarn (talk) 16:40, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Stop pro-government vandalism on the Syrian Civil War Map. You made an edit which changed 3 towns from rebel to government. Granted, these towns happen to be held by the government at this point in time, but you need to actually tell people why the edit was made instead of reverting it without explanation.Pbfreespace3 (talk) 19:06, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

:Plus you brole the 1RR rule of the article. Alhanuty (talk) 21:32, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

:You are wrong Pbfreespace3, the towns of At Taff & Sha‘arah are rebel-held and sources were provided for them. Tradedia^talk 16:30, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

::I do not know about those towns, and I don't care. However, we need to find out who controls Mahin and Huwwarin. We know according to SOHR that ISIS took them a few days ago, but has the government retaken them? Pbfreespace3 (talk) 19:06, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

@Pbfreespace3 There are no articles from SOHR about Mahin or Huwwarin as of recently, however acording to Al Masdar there were brief skirmishes around half way between Qaryatayn and Mahin I don't see anthing else for the past week or two.

@Tradedia Also the same with At Taff and Sha' arah which was changed and not even contested both of them around 10 days ago, you got a source for that??

It is not vandelism to revert an edit error made by another user, an edit based with no source as well.

Also Mahin has been heavly fortified and should not even be contested the same with Hurwann.SyrianObserver2015 (talk) 22:39, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
