May 1st Assault
editThis article is titled the 7th Deir Ez Zor offensive, implying it's a continuation of the previous SDF/SAA anti-ISIL advances last year. Though the article is right now about the clashes between the SDF and SAA, the SDF, on May 1st, Indeed launched a brand new offensive against ISIL in Deir Ez-Zor.
Should we differentiate by creating a new page for the new SDF offensive, or simply add on to this page and relegating the SDF-SAA clashes to its own section, and giving SDF/ISIL clashes its own, new section. I preemptively edited the page to reflect this, but i think we should at least reach a consensus as we go forward. Thelovelyconch (talk) 00:40, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
I agree,the new SDF offensive needs an article of itself.Alhanuty (talk) 01:15, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
- The offensive is still part of the SDF's Jazeera Storm, so it's just a new phase of the Deir ez-Zor offensive (September 2017–present). Editor abcdef (talk) 06:17, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
- The one-day SAA-SDF clashes are definitely not part of the anti-ISIL offensive that started, which needs a new article. The new operations by the SDF can be considered a part of the previously concluded Jazeera Storm offensive only if sources show up to confirm this, which I haven't seen so far. Unless sources show up that confirm the new operations are a simple continuation of Jazeera Storm, like I said, this new anti-ISIL offensive will need its own article. As for this article here, its only about the one-day clashes that took place between the SAA and SDF. EkoGraf (talk) 11:17, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
Proposed solution to result edit war
editI propose that the page simply say "Clashed concluded" to solve the problem of displaying whether the article was an SAA or SDF victory. I would propose "Indecisive" as another solution but the SAA did maintain hold of one village. --FPSTurkey (talk) 08:38, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
- FPSTurkey I would support your compromise proposal of the result being "Indecisive". Please feel free to make the edit. EkoGraf (talk) 14:52, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
