WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Operation Shader, 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!

SAS activity[edit]

Which section should the SAS activity in Northern Iraq go in?

Its not really reconnaissance. Maybe it should have its own section? Juno (talk) 22:49, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, yeah, I was wondering about that too. Perhaps we should create a new section under Deployed Forces? TheArmchairSoldier (talk) 12:09, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Type 23 frigate HMS St Albans (F83)[edit]

Is Type 23 frigate HMS St Albans (F83) actually taking part in the war against ISIL or has she just been deployed to the Gulf area as part of the ongoing Operation Kipion? Gavbadger (talk) 16:21, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, she is involved. She has been providing support to the French carrier strike group:

Airstrike tables[edit]

They were originally added by me as I didn't expect the MOD to announce every single airstrike that had taken place (to be fair, they did say at the start that they wouldn't). I am now having second thoughts.

Is it really necessary to list every airstrike on here when the UK MOD already does that on their website? The tables are actually really difficult to keep up to date. There's so many airstrikes that are currently missing (the Iraq section, for example, doesn't list any of the 2016 airstrikes).

I suggest we only list the noteworthy ones, instead of all of them, and place an external link to the full list on the UK MOD website.TheArmchairSoldier (talk) 16:29, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
