Advisory

Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

You violated the 1RR rule on the Afrin article. I suggest you self-revert. Étienne Dolet (talk) 21:40, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Afrin casualties

Greek Hades, I have attempted a compromise edit to which Iulamgiha also agreed to, in the hopes of ending the content dispute between you and Beshogur and Patetez. I have moved both the Aleppo24 and SCWM figures to the main body of the article in the newly-created casualties section. So the figures aren't deleted, they have only been moved. So please cancel your last edit and lets continue the discussion on the articles talk page. EkoGraf (talk) 12:03, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

IS territory in the central desert

I would ask that you revert your edit here [1] and discuss the issue at the article's talk page. First, Wikipedia's map itself can not be used because, as per its policy again, Wikipedia itself can not be used as a source. Second, Syrialiveumap, which you yourself pointed to, clearly shows IS territory still in the Syrian desert [2]. SOHR, ISWN and Polgeonow also show through maps [3][4][5] IS territory in the central desert which has yet to be taken by the Syrian military, as well as some others [6]. SOHR, which confirms the pocket is 4,000 square kilometers in size, especially has been extensively used by Wikipedia for territorial changes throughout the years. Pro-government Masdar media outlet and Reuters also reaffirm the existence of an IS pocket in the Syrian desert [7][8], which is entirely surrounded by Syrian government forces (not controlled) as per both Masdar and Reuters [9][10]. Last attempt by the SAA to clear the pocket was way back in September [11]. Multiple sources (which confirm it) trump one source which, for some reason, has decided to ignore the pocket in the central desert. So I would ask again that you revert your edit and use the talk page for further discussions. EkoGraf (talk) 13:47, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Further confirmation of the existence of the enclave [12]. Linked at the talk page as well. Presented now both sources' statistics in the infobox as an attempt at compromise. EkoGraf (talk) 17:22, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
