Talk:List of presidents of Syria

Use of colours

Hi,

I think this is a well laid out article, but I think some of the colours make it hard to read the text. The red and the green give a poor contrast. Those two colour would probably not score well on the color contrast tool. A tool such as color schemer is helpful to choose colour that work well together.

Key

Key for presidents' list

Symbols/Colours	Meaning
—	Acting president.
	National Bloc
	Syrian Social Nationalist Party
	Military
	Arab Liberation Movement

	People's Party
	Ba'ath Syrian Regional Branch

Outlier

It should be noted that Lu'ay al-Atassi was not part of the Ba'ath Party. He was a politically independent officer and was appointed to the presidency and chairmanship of the NCRC as a consensus candidate for the Ba'athists and the array of Nasserists who made up the NCRC (and because he lacked a support base). Therefore, he should not be highlighted as "green" because that would be inaccurate. --Al Ameer (talk) 23:24, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Bashar Al-Assad

I think we should change the infobox, CNN is reporting that he is no longer in Damascus, henceforth he has been overthrown Alhanuty (talk) 18:54, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Should the Presidents of the Syrian Interim Government and the Presidents of the Syrian Salvation Government be added?

In my opinion the Presidents of thede two Syrian Opposition governments, should be added. 77.191.108.115 (talk) 21:41, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

De facto leaders

@Sundostund: Ahmed al-Sharaa seems to be a de facto leader like Salah Jadid. A general command leads the country. Panam2014 (talk) 00:39, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

@Panam2014: I tend to agree with you, especially in the case of al-Sharaa, who seems to be an undisputed de facto leader (while Jadid was part of a "triumvirate" with Atassi and Assad). But still, I'm of the opinion that this list should include only those who served as official presidents (or acting presidents) of Syria, while de facto leaders could possibly be added to List of heads of state of Syria. — Sundostund mppria ^{(talk / contribs)} 01:45, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

I am a bit confused by the stated article mentioned because it seems to have a couple problems mainly the fact that the lists in the article are messy and at least from my pov out of order. 2600:1702:5870:5930:582E:9DA4:91B1:3C53 (talk) 01:31, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
