WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Daraa offensive (February–May 2014), along with other pages relating to the Syrian Civil War and ISIL, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

Too early[edit]

It is too early to call or make an article for this attack,but there is a potential for the event taking a huge turn in the next few days,but It is too early to write an article like this,waiting for a few more days will call,but report that a huge offensive is underway.Alhanuty (talk) 01:51, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

58 brigades?? Seems a bit too much. Even if not at full strenght it must mean they have at least 60,000 men in that area, which is unlikely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.8.154.39 (talk) 18:03, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

and where is nusra? one of the principal insurgent group in deraa — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.150.53.89 (talk) 18:39, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't over[edit]

It doesn't look like over,I recommend that it stays ongoing,bc there might be more rebel gains coming.Alhanuty (talk) 12:59, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Twitter?[edit]

I don't see how twitter is a re1liab1le source, should it be allowed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.170.227 (talk) 21:00, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Alleged deal claim in jassem[edit]

I really doubt about this claimed deal in jassem,and only one not really reliable source mentioned,it,I proposed that the jasim claim be withdrew.Alhanuty (talk) 23:25, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

the artilce is too POV,using only one source to write down an event and not awaiting other sources to confirm the event.Alhanuty (talk) 15:35, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The death of Fauzi Ayub, and where it's happened?[edit]

In this article in the references (haaretz.com) say, Fauzi Ayub was killed in Nawa, but for example CBCnews say he was killed in Aleppo by FSA. CBCnews related page The same information can be found Fauzi Ayub's wikipedia page too. I do not saying that he not died in Nawa, but seems like it's not clear where exactly he died. It's would be better to check out more sources about his death or fix the article by adding "claimed to died in Nawa /or/ Aleppo". --Mlacix (talk) 07:42, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
