transfer of talk from talk page of article that it is no longer germane to, bcz the content in question has indeed been split off
[edit]"Evacuated" or "routed"?
[edit] The following talk item was originally contributed by user:Tgoll774 within Talk:2014 Eastern Syria offensive#Battle of Tabqa air base, 4 days after the proposal to create the article page accompanying this talk page, but weeks before the proposal was acted on. I have now eliminated the essentially verbatim duplication of the long section that resulted, by turning 2014 Eastern Syria offensive#Battle of Tabqa air base into a section-stub that links to the article accompanying this talk page.

- Pictures released by IS show at least four maybe five MiG 21Bs captured. Base clearly looks overrun, so it was not evacuated but routed. http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2014/08/islamic_state_photos.php

Preceding talk contrib & its sig copied here from Talk:2014 Eastern Syria offensive#Battle of Tabqa air base by Jerzy•t 08:19, 18 October 2014 (UTC)- Tgoll's lk provides numerous photos with Arabic captions, what may or not be translations of them, and lots of chat (w/o evidence of credentials that i noticed). I don't see any sign of a reliable source, tho the pics could be reason to go looking for RSs.
Tangentially but perhaps far more importantly, MiG 21B? (Not, i assume, same as MiG 21bis.) And readers deserve RS better than the page at that ext-lk, which mentions only who-knows-whose supposed identification of "MiG[s]" -- and without even mention of "MiG 21", let alone "MiG 21B".
One should let- the mis-identification of the East-Bloc K-13 Atoll missiles (as the U.S. Sidewinder that it emulates)
persisting for 8 or 9 weeks
and about 230 edits
(in spite of
its attribution on WP being to a Twitter tweet,
and the casual "clearly looks", as if there were not a specialties called "photo interpretation" and forensic investigation,
and the lack of seasoning of the editor --14 edits and 9 days)
- the mis-identification of the East-Bloc K-13 Atoll missiles (as the U.S. Sidewinder that it emulates)
- jointly and severally serve as object-lessons on making a decent effort to get it right the first time, and on frequently paying attention to others' additions and changes.
