Syrian civil war sanctions notification

As a result of a community discussion, long-term and persistent problems in the editing of articles related to the Syrian civil war, broadly construed, have been acknowledged. The community has therefore enacted broad editing restrictions, described at WP:SCWGS and below.

• Any uninvolved administrator may, at his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process.
• The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length, bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict, bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics, restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.
• Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor shall be given a warning with a link to this decision and, where appropriate, should be counseled on specific steps that he or she can take to improve his or her editing in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines.
• Sanctions imposed may be appealed to the imposing administrator or at the appropriate administrators' noticeboard.

These editing restrictions may be applied to any editor for cause, provided the editor has been previously informed of the decision. This message is to so inform you. This message does not necessarily mean that your current editing has been deemed a problem; this is a template message crafted to make it easier to notify any user who has edited the topic of the existence of these sanctions.

Generally, the next step, if an administrator feels your conduct on pages in this topic area is disruptive, would be a warning, to be followed by the imposition of sanctions (although in cases of serious disruption, the warning may be omitted). Hopefully no such action will be necessary.

This notice is effective only if given by an uninvolved administrator and logged at WP:SCWGS.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:42, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Adra

Im not a conspiracy theorist, but I swear that I dont touched the Adra positions in my last edit, as I only wanted to put the name of the town of Harra (I sincerely dont give a **** where Adra & its industrial zone are located, I dont have any interest on it). Im starting to get very suspicious about this type of things. I cant understand it, why the positions get changed when I only touched Harra, and its not a revert? Can it be posible that other user impersonate me?--HCPUNXKID (talk) 21:25, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Maybe it was just an oversight? Things can happen. Otherwise, ask an admin if such thing is possible. OberschIesien90 (talk) 21:49, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Babbila

Regime troops raised the Syrian flag over the municipality but some rebels the took advantage of amnesty and remained in Babbila . Correct your mistake because in the Babbila remained only those rebels who took advantage of the amnesty.Al AkhbarNOW News Hanibal911 (talk) 17:47, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

"They involve a ceasefire, a siege being lifted and food allowed to enter rebel-held areas, with opposition fighters handing over heavy weapons and the regime raising its red, white, black and green flag there."

"Armed rebels were still present in the area"

I think its to early, its clear that these cities have mixed control/regime has no complete control.

In a related matter, why have you put the size of the lime dots in the cease-fire cities from 8 to 7? I dont really care, but the cities look really shitty now.OberschIesien90 (talk) 18:02, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Source said opposition fighters handing over heavy weapons and the regime raising its red, white, black and green flag there. There is not told about the rebel flag this source only listed all the colors of the Syrian flag. Regime troops raised the Syrian flag over the municipality of the southern suburb. And armed rebels were still present in the area, as the terms of the agreement also included an amnesty.The Daily Star NOW News Hanibal911 (talk) 18:12, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

And a very reliable source Wall Streer Journal a month ago indicated that Qudsaya under army control. I think in Qudsaya rebels or fled the area well as at Camp Al Yarmouk or joined to army to protect area. If you cant read this article here is map from this source.

The government flag was also raised over Muadamiyat as part of their ceasefire It was humiliation for the rebels and a prestige gain for the government, but it doesnt mean coercible that the town is now government-held.

And for the Qudsaya map, this seems to be quite an inaccurate map that shows a rough overview over the area, but lacks in detail. It also misses most of the rebell areas in the south, like Babila Quadam, Tadamon etc., on the other hand, Adra is in full rebell control, what was also wrong to this point of time. So NOW seems to be more reliable.

"According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, rebels and regime loyalists have even set up joint checkpoints in some areas such as Qudsaya." OberschIesien90 (talk) 19:03, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
