Talk:Federalization of Syria

WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Federalization of Syria, along with other pages relating to the Syrian Civil War and ISIL, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

@Zoupan: Why did you remove the sources? Partition of Syria is definitely a consequence of the ongoing civil war.--Opdire657 (talk) 23:05, 19 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Opdire657: I have not removed any sources, I moved a citation to external links. All sources, added earlier by me, supports the lead. It is unnecessary to remove facts and then add a cite to that sentence, and then edit war (you). As I explained, The war is ongoing, and the partition is not a factual consequence. Isn't it quite clear that the definition of the word "consequence" is wrong in this respect?--Zoupan 23:13, 19 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Zoupan: Yes, you did remove the sources. The source I provided should be in the references section not with external links. Both the Syrian government and the opposition are against the partition of Syria, so it is a consequence and not part of the war itself.--Opdire657 (talk) 23:17, 19 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

No. I have now added all sources that were there before your edits to the first sentence, as you wanted (despite WP:BLUE). The Syrian government (Assad) does not rule it out. Kurds support it. For it to be a consequence (please read the definition of the word), it has to be factual. It is a idea or scenario (please read the definition of these words as well). --Zoupan 14:54, 20 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

I believe the 1922 French Mandate map could be applicable to the page. It's here; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:French_Mandate_for_Syria_and_the_Lebanon_map_en.svg

Also I know that I've read on several occasions that partition is the perceived outcome of the Israeli government. I'll post 'em here if and when I run across them again. Doyna Yar (talk) 16:10, 20 March 2016 (UTC) Found it here http://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-syria-israel-idUSKCN0VN0C2 also this from CIA Chief Brennan http://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/07/politics/cia-brennan-syria-iraq-terrorism/ Doyna Yar (talk) 15:57, 14 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Don't see the map applicable. A link to French Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon in external links could be added though.--Zoupan 16:16, 20 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Ara News is a propaganda tool and is not a reliable source of information. Any info added with this ref needs to be reevaluated as unworthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. Constellation2023 (talk) 07:54, 9 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

This is nonsense. ARA News is considered a highly accurate/reliable source in factual reporting by independent monitors. [1] -- 2A1ZA (talk) 10:27, 9 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
