Talk:Syrian government response to the Syrian revolution

WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Syrian government response to the Syrian revolution, 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!

Effect of the war[edit]

Totally non-encyclopedic article[edit]

This article is not really an article, but a collection of random facts that barely hang together, and it is very out of date, really focusing on the revolution rather than the war. Probably some of the sections could usefully mined for other articles. I am planning to nominate it for deletion at some point, unless anyone things it is worth defending, but we should strip out useful content for other articles first.

Proposed move[edit]

'Reactions' is a strange word to use for a conflict in which the SG has always been one of the main protagonists. How about Syrian government policy during the Syrian Civil War? Konli17 (talk) 09:51, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree title is meaningless. However, current article is about the 2011-12 period, i.e. the Civil uprising phase of the Syrian Civil War and might be better entitled something like Syrian government reactions to the 2011 civil uprising. Or, better still, just make sure everything useful in it is in the Civil uprising phase of the Syrian Civil War article and then delete this one!
