Hey could you add the al hawl road that connects the syria/iraq road to al hawl and road that connects al hawl to hasakah, it is a very important road b/c this the pathway IS uses to push further into cizire canton and the hasakah countryside, it would do a better job as to explaining the strategic importance of al-hawl and why the ypg has launched a huge offensive to capture al-hawl. b/c without the road al hawl just looks like a town in the middle of a desert, and the observer cannot understand its strategic importance. here is the road displayed on wikimapia for reference: http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=36.387018&lon=41.060715&z=11&m=b [[User:Midgetman433|Midgetman433]] ([[User talk:Midgetman433|talk]]) 14:54, 12 November 2015 (UTC) |

Map with Roads and Highways Ready
Following the news about civil war in Irak and Syria, we hear about important roads and Highwys. But we don't see them on the maps to get better oriented. Please someone add roads and highways also to the maps. Thanks! -> In Persian:
با دنبال کردن خبر ها در باره ی جنگ درونمرزی در عراق و سوریه و .. ما همواره چیزهایی در باره ی راه ها و شاهراه های مهم میخوانیم ولی آنهارا در نقشه پیدا نمیکنیم و نمیتوانیم جا های یاد شده را بهتر بیابیم. پس خواهشمندم که راه ها و شاهراه هارا هم به این نقشه ها بیفزایید. سپاس. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.75.52.4 (talk) 11:57, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- Good idea, I was thinking of the same, especially knowing situation near Ithriya. We can add them just the same as other background maps, but these should be simpler, with just lines. --Hogg 22 (talk) 12:01, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- Who can do this? Who manages the background map? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.75.52.4 (talk) 15:38, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- Wouldn't the addition of roads and major highways require a changing of the background image for the template? I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to this, but I don't know of any way to add the roads without a changing of the .png image used in the background, besides, what colour would we make them? Black would be too close to IS's dot colour, similarly, grey would be too close to al-Nusra's. DaJesuZ (talk) 14:06, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- I dont know if a new layer can provide the roads or rather changing the backgroud map. But what concerns the color of highways, it is often yellow-orange with thin red borders on each side like here : Damascus Road Map . The roads colors must be kept neutral to civil war parties. we can see then from rectangle-dots ( f.e. IS presence on Ithariya road ) , who controls the road part at any time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.75.52.4 (talk) 08:32, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
I made a Map with Roads and Highways on base of the existent map. Here it is in png format:SyriaRoadsMap Can somebody who has the autority, replace the old one with this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.75.52.4 (talk) 13:04, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
- That looks absolutely awesome! 84.212.61.74 (talk) 13:08, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
- Great efforet thatnk you. I don't know how to replace the original one with th is though :( Helmy1453 (talk) 14:08, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for your work! I have a question for you. The original file (Syria location map3.svg) is in .SVG format. Can you save your file in .SVG format? What will happen is that your file will have to be uploaded in Wikimedia Commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Syria_location_map3.svg) as "a new version of file" Syria location map3.svg Then everything should work automatically. By the way, User:Spesh531 is the one who has updated this file the most lately. Also, there is another thing. The Highways need to be much thinner. They are now too intrusive. The red border can be removed and the orange line made a lot thinner. It should be thick enough to distinguish them from other roads, but not more. Maybe just double the thickness of the other road lines. Tradediatalk 11:05, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
- I will modify the map as requested as soon as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:6A:6740:5E82:5138:4B24:66B0:26C3 (talk) 18:07, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- I made the Highways much thinner now, but I have no possibility to chenge my PNG file to Vector file SVG . But As I see, there is no obligation to use a SVG file, because the dimentions don't change in all browsers. But if anyone can make a SVG -format file out of this, please go ahead. Here is the new map in PNG -format.Syria Road Map With Thinner Highways — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:6A:6740:5E82:651B:C436:1C10:7C82 (talk) 20:41, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, so I went ahead and uploaded your PNG file as a new file (File:Syria location map4.png) to be used as a template for Syria maps. If someone has a problem with it being a new PNG file instead of the previous SVG file then they can do what they need to do... By the way, I have personally claimed copyright of the file & allowed it to be freely distributed. If this is a problem for you then please let me know (I am not sure if the copyright can be attributed to an anonymous IP as opposed to a user name account...) The new Highways look great. However, there seems to be a mistake in the al-Ithriyah-Khanasir road. According to wikimapia, the road goes through Khanasir. However, on our map, the road does not go through Khanasir, but rather to the east of it. I verified the coordinates of Khanasir on our map, and found it is correct (lat = "35.782", long = "37.499"). By the way, I make a call to all viewers (& editors) of the map to look for mistakes in the highways & roads (and post them in this section) so that we can find them & iron them out once and for all. Again, thank you very much user IP 212/2003 for your contribution. This was long overdue. Tradediatalk 05:12, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you very much applying my map. I know , there can be some minor deviations ( so I hope) from real road locations. But now we have a background-Basis-road-map and everybody who can work with a Paint-application, can correct those devations which are in important front lines.

- I modified tha map to correct the road near Khanasir and added some road-numbers for better orientation with the news. here it is:correction #1 and some road numbers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.75.52.4 (talk) 11:15, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
- Actually we do not need the road-numbers. They are too intrusive and the media do not mention road numbers much. For example, I don't recall the media mentioning that the Salamiyah-Ithriyah road is number 42. Tradediatalk 11:55, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Hey i noticed that the road between manbij to raqqah via tishrin dam was missing, its a pretty important road, as its the shortest route between manbij and raqqah for IS. if you guys could find the time to add it, it would be a great addition, i dont know how to add the roads, else i would attempt it myself. Midgetman433 (talk) 15:45, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

This was really good work! thanks to all that contributed!Rhocagil (talk) 17:30, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
- I reverted the change of the global Syria map definition from SVG to PNG. Either add the roads to an SVG version of the map (preferably), or specify the PNG as an AlternativeMap in the module. Re the IP, if you use Inkscape instead of MS Paint (or whatever it is you're using), it'll let you edit and save SVGs. Jackmcbarn (talk) 19:02, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I figured out a different way that does not use the global module. There was already a map in use as an AlternativeMap in the global module and it is in use on many articles. Tradediatalk 03:19, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Tradedia: You actually had AlternativeMap and image1 mixed up. In any case, it's sorted out now, and it's now using just the original definition (not the Syriawar one) but still using the right map. Jackmcbarn (talk) 22:35, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Jackmcbarn: Ok, I see what you mean now. Thanks. Tradediatalk 23:17, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your work. But the roads near Ghamam in Latakia are not in the correct position. See [1]. Schluppo (talk) 10:57, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- Same holds for the Jisr-al-Shugour area; streets are quite bugged there: e.g. Bishlaymun [2] sits a few kilometers north of the highway. On the new map with roads, it is directly on the highway. etc. I fear it is going to take some serious effort to add all these minor corrections to the position of roads in all the places where it is necessary. Cheers, Schluppo (talk) 11:17, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- OK, I modified the roadmap : 1- Added Road Manjib to Al-Raqqa via Tishrin dam + 2- Highway Lakatia-Jisr al Shoghur corrected (Ghammam) . Here the modified file : Syria Roads Correction 2 . 212.75.52.4 (talk) 11:52, 3 November 2015 (UTC)MapMaker

Hello, thanks for the great work with the roads, it is extremely helpful. But, could you correct the one road that goes throgh Southern Aleppo? It actually extends from Tall Daman through Burida, Kafr Abid and Blas to Sheik Said and doesnt go through al-Manatir. Thanks in advance. Oberschlesien1990 (talk) 14:28, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Hey could you add the al hawl road that connects the syria/iraq road to al hawl and road that connects al hawl to hasakah, it is a very important road b/c this the pathway IS uses to push further into cizire canton and the hasakah countryside, it would do a better job as to explaining the strategic importance of al-hawl and why the ypg has launched a huge offensive to capture al-hawl. b/c without the road al hawl just looks like a town in the middle of a desert, and the observer cannot understand its strategic importance. here is the road displayed on wikimapia for reference: http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=36.387018&lon=41.060715&z=11&m=b Midgetman433 (talk) 14:54, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Road map to the Syrian_and_Iraqi_insurgency_detailed_map
Maybe there was a thread about this in summer, but do anybody know about who is in charge/responsible for the Syrian and Iraqi detailed map? I am just asking, because of the new road map (which is absolutly a great work!), if it could also be integrated there (even if it will be only for the syrian part of the map). Thanks! Mughira1395 (talk) 21:29, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- I made the Syria roads. Do You want this also for Irak map (here)? Or there is an other map which includes both Irak and Syria? 212.75.52.4 (talk) 11:21, 4 November 2015 (UTC)MapMaker
- I mean this map: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Syrian_and_Iraqi_insurgency_detailed_map which is a combination of both maps. I you can do that also for the iraqi side, it will be a really great job! Mughira1395 (talk) 11:38, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
- I found and checked the map. The two maps are slightly different. for example Syria has in the double map, measure deviations against Syria in the single map.This makes a copy or roads from one to other difficult, because the positions onf Cities are indeed very precise . But I will try to make it. 212.75.52.4 (talk) 11:50, 4 November 2015 (UTC)MapMaker
- Just to inform you: The changes in the single maps are also done (automaticaly?) in the doubble map. And for the iraqi map, the double one is clearer - look for Ramadi for instance. Mughira1395 (talk) 12:21, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
- Now I made a try and put the roads in the double map, but only for Syria as first step. Syria+Irak map with syria Roads. How to replace it? Please read the Topic " Roads ..." Above. Whether the map is good or not, can be seen after replacement. 212.75.52.4 (talk) 13:31, 4 November 2015 (UTC)MapMaker

- What do you mean?. Mughira1395 (talk) 22:44, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
- I just uploaded your new Syrian_and_Iraqi map and it seems to work fine. Tradediatalk 04:39, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
- Absolutely great work. Thanks a lot! Although the iraqi map is not really up-to-date, if "somebody" could make also the roads there? :-))Mughira1395 (talk) 11:13, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

clashes in Morek per pro red sources
SOHR and pro red facebook pages states clashes in Morek and Rebel controlling parts of it. Facebook pro rebel pages claim full rebel control on Morek. I say it goes contested any ideas about that ? Helmy1453 (talk) 21:32, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
Interestingly enough Pro-gov sources I've seen are calling it a tactical retreat with no loss of life while rebels are claiming they are still fighting gov troops in the city — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:741:0:9182:A9C7:6458:4A0E:95D5 (talk) 22:09, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
What percent of Morek are controlled by insurgents?
That's the most recent source who I have --LogFTW (talk) 09:27, 5 November 2015 (UTC) http://www.almasdarnews.com/article/breaking-syrian-army-reenters-the-strategic-town-of-morek-with-the-help-of-hezbollah/
We should in this instance be wary of using Al-Masdar. Masdar claimed the little towns of Mughayr and al-Bani under SAA control. Suddenly, Mughayr was taken by the SAA when they first assaulted Kafr Nabudah. al-Bani was suddenly disputed with the NDF moving towards the rebel-held checkpoint in the north. Same for Tell Othman: changed to red per Masdar, but no other source has mentioned it. Also, Masdar states that the SAA "took control of the southern entrance" of the town. This means:
- Morek should be green with a red ring in the south
- The checkpoints north of Morek are rebel held. There is enough video proof en geo-locating to check it. Also, the army wouldn't attack from the south only if it still held the northern Tank Batallion and other checkpoint on the M5 highway.
- Tell Othman should be contested until we have more information — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.31.204.195 (talk) 11:25, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Clashes are still taking place inside Morek: [4] Schluppo (talk) 12:18, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
Alright, but that still leaves the northern and eastern checkpoints. They are shown as red, whilst both Masdar, SOHR and neutral sources mention only fighting in the south of the town. They should be green. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.31.204.195 (talk) 12:55, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

- twitter map this map is so poular now on twitter and facebook. I know twiter and specially maps are not reliable but, this map is in agreement with our map on every other portion, also it makes more sence than ours neer Morek . can we make an exception and use it for once ? Helmy1453 (talk) 19:49, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
Agreed. Peto Lucem is the head of Al-Masdar news channel. His maps are also published on that site. The fact that pro-SAA editors make maps that show Tell Otman as rebel held is enough for us. It would be impossible for rebels to attack al-Bani if they did not control the hill and the road alongside it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.24.43.183 (talk) 10:52, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
Peto Lucem is not head of AL Masdar and has nothing to do with it .Al masdar just use his maps — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.154.78 (talk) 15:31, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Damascus map

New icons for oil fields
What do You say? --Hogg 22 (talk) 13:40, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- I think changing oil fields to a specific icon would be a good idea to distinguish them from other industrial complexes on the map as they hold their own unique strategical value - they're economic importance - particularly to opposition groups. However the icons you propose I would argue don't match the same standard of professionalism of the map. Instead may I suggest an icon based on the image of an oil pump?Prohibited Area (talk) 15:56, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Rebels have retaken hills south of Al-Wahidi town. They are also in firm control of Khan Tuman. Hadir is shown as contested, whist even Al-Masdar claims the SAA and Hezbollah are only "near Hadar city". Rebels have also retaken the village of Shugaydilah, near Hadir.

Military objects around Kweires
We have 2 objects near Kweires Airbase marked red: Military housing and air defense base. Do we have any recent proofs that they are really under SAA control? Even pro-SAA sources are giving distance estimates (between besieged and other forces) that makes me think they need to go all the way to the airbase perimeter, and not some objects outside the base. --Hogg 22 (talk) 15:05, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
Usually I would not say this but what a stupid question!!! It is well known these military housing (Which is ajoined to Kurweas Airbase) is under SAA control because it is all part of the same base, ISIS have had hundreds (575) of their men killed trying to penetrate the military housing, over the last 4 months. Now have you a legit source to show that it is not in SAA hands? produce it if so, it is hard to think that you are involved with a lot of editing on this map and you ask such a brainless question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.1.100.66 (talk) 16:27, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
We shouldn't tolerate such insulting language here! Hogg22 posed his/her question in good faith. That "unsigned" has info on IS's numerous failed attempts at storming the military housing complex doesn't make it unreasonable to someone else without this info that it may not still be in the SAA's hands. The base is large enough for the IS to have possibly occupied peripheral structures over the years that it has been besieged, while the defending troops hold on to the core areas of the base. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.129.196.85 (talk) 00:37, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
- Dear Mr 193.1.100.66, who is unable to sign own comments, and yet call other people brainless :)...
- Air defense site and Military Housing are administratively part of the Airbase, but not phisically. They are both separated from the walled compound by empty fields, just like nearby village Karkiz that used to be under SAA control, but it isn't anymore. I believe IS suicide bombers have more respect for walls then for administrative borders. What I was saying is Shekh-Ahmad is only 1.4 km from Military housing and 2.5 km from walls of the Airbase and yet none ot the pro-SAA sources that reported capture of Shekh-Ahmad don't say SAA neds only 1.4 km to lift the siege. Did You get my point now? --Hogg 22 (talk) 08:06, 10 November 2015 (UTC).

Also, one old (9 May 2015) source Oryx Blog: Battlefront Syria: Kweres airbase mentions street battles inside compound that seams to be walled and says it's fall would endanger the airbase. This article seams interesting, but I didn't have time to read it to the end. Anyway, seams to be under SAA control. --Hogg 22 (talk) 09:21, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Given CC is a pro-Kurdish source and is very reliable I would consider it reliable for editing however it would violate rule 2 of editing. However given that rule 2 states that maps are approximate and therefore unreliable, CC is generally very specific and therefore I would argue contradicts this.

I think the source is good enough to make a reverse-edit. Also ARA-news (pro-kurd) has not written anything about YPG/SDF presence south of Al-Hawl and in this interview (from today 11/11) SDF spokes-person says that they are to besiege Al-Hawl, not that it´s already under siege. A big problemm is that Al-masdar and SOHR are not writing to much about it, and when SOHR writes about it they hardly ever mention places only that there were progress.Rhocagil (talk) 22:13, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- I was just about to complain about the same thing, when I saw this thread. user:LightandDark2000 stubbornly makes pro-yellow edits based on unreliable sources (random tweets, biased sources) or even change the map based on his interpretation of the source. For example, here he changed Khuytlh Khan and Sawi to yellow based on this source. I tried to translate it and from what I see, none of these villages is mentioned. The source does mention they are 3 km from "November field" (I guess it is former "November east station", but that information is far from enough to make any nearby village yellow. If someone here speaks Arabic, please read this article and check is there any mention of these villages or even some mountain where those villages are positioned.
- user:LightandDark2000 proved very stubborn in his pro-yellow edits and doesn't respond well to criticism. So, if You wandered why is our map so yellow-optimistic, I believe this user's edits might be the reason. Someone should talk to him. I tried, but with no success.
- Another thing, I'm not sure if this is part of the same problem, but it's at least geographically close: In Iraq, just opposite of Hasakah, NW from Sinjar mountain, there are villages marked yellow for months now. I just discovered that they are under Kurd control, but only since a few days ago. Thisa pro-yellow tweet says: 5 villages in Şengal #Sinjar liberated from #ISIS today - Faw, Zeko, Mujuli, Siheil, Bir Qasim - in ongoing ops (v @Rojnewsku) #Kurdistan.

An Al-Masdar article, showing a map in which Tell Otman is several kilometers behind rebel lines in Al-Bani. So the hill should be green, as was pointed out a week ago.

- Regarding Mugahyr, the grain silos and Tell Sakhr, the latest reliable source appears to be [17], stating that these places are under SAA control. Regarding Tell Othman, we cannot rely on maps, so we have to rely on the latest reliable source with text about Tell Othman. This appears to be [18] which was used to color Tell Othman red about one week ago. Since then, there was apparantly no reliable source stating that rebels retook Tell Othman. However, if you have a newer RELIABLE source that is NOT A MAP and states that the rebels retook Tell Othman, Mugahyr, the grain silos or Tell Sakhr, please provide it.

I hope this is the right place to discuss this.

It would be even more useful if anyone were able to figure out how to make the current version (and possibly archived old versions) exportable as a Google Earth layer. I understand that this is not strictly speaking a purely wikipedia question, but I believe this map's importance is such that the possibility of layering it in Google Earth should be seriously discussed.

Al-Eis with SAA confirmed by SOHR - http://www.syriahr.com/2015/11/%D8%AD%D8%B2%D8%A8-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%84%D9%87-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%84%D8%A8%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%8A-%D9%88%D9%82%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D8%B8%D8%A7%D9%85-%D9%8A%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%B7%D8%B1%D8%A7/ Pro-SAA sources claiming that even Tall-Bajir (SW of Hadher) taken by the army.

SOHR said that the AA/Hezbollah and NDF regain control of the town of Al Eis and the surrounding countryside, after heavy fighting in the town, with Al-Nusra and rebels.SOHR So this means that town Al Eis and Al Eis mountain and Army Fuelling Base under SAA. 46.201.74.27 (talk) 21:18, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Hey, what do you think you are doing? There are already reports that the SAA did NOT, I repeat NOT, capture al-Eis and al-Hadir has already been captured back by the rebels. You are way to quick to change the map, even though the operations are still going on.

- Not even the "5000 hero reinforcement from Hama" is true, but they captured everything back right :D "reports" Actually there are pictured reports that Tel eiz(not Eis),Banes and Rasm al-Sahreej got captured. http://www.almasdarnews.com/article/islamist-rebel-defenses-collapsing-in-southern-aleppo-two-more-villages-captuted-by-the-syrian-army-and-hezbollah/Totholio (talk) 10:02, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Could somebody add Tell Hadiya to the map as rebel held? It just south of the ICARDA base here. MesmerMe (talk) 10:47, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
Marj as-Sultan
Earlier reliable source said that the SAA captured Army base to west of town Deir Salman and entered to the Strategic Marj Al-Sultan Airbase.here
- Later pro opposition source said that the Assad-forces & Hezbollah take over most of Marj as-Sultan & Marj as-Sultan helicopter base.source 37.52.25.102 (talk) 14:44, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- They probably refer to southern hellicopter base, not the northern one. --Hogg 22 (talk) 08:11, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
Mistake at drawing the roads
The road linking Al-Qantari to Ayn Issa in north is not accurate. It should pass through both towns, not north of them. Look for example at google maps. Roboskiye (talk) 11:07, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
Southern Aleppo
I think some towns in villages in Southern Aleppo are displayed quite larger on the map than they are in reality. Could someone have a look on this? Oberschlesien1990 (talk) 11:44, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
