SDF are only a force of 2000 (If that) men mixed in with around 40,000 Kurds, just because someone makes a wiki page doesn't mean its factual. This map would be to complicated if we started adding all the various groups that make up Syrian Armys alliance, which many have forces much larger such as Hezbollah estimated 15000-20000 where is their colour? Or the IRGC 10000 where is their colour? |

Conflict between rebels and YPG/SDF in nothern Aleppo countryside
Rebels give deadline in the 48 hours for YPG in order that they to withdraw from the 7 villages Maryamayn, Inab, Qanbrya, Tatmarash, Shawarighat, Tanab, Al-Kishta'ar in Aleppo countryside.Charles Listersourcesource pro-opposition source said that the rebels will use force to retake from YPG these villages sourcesource also pro-opposition source said that the YPG is trying to storm FSA-Held village of Malikiyah near Azaz.sourcesource and attacking villages of Ziyarah and Turabiyahsourcesource 37.52.24.241 (talk) 19:10, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

- Al-Masdar are reporting too now. Should we mark/ put the villages out on the map as contested (lime-yellow/ yellow-grey)? Rhocagil (talk) 21:26, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
- It should be yellow-grey(if there will be more fighting without truce in the coming day). Cause mainly YPG fights Al nusra, there are FSA groups on both sides.Totholio (talk) 21:40, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
- This statemet is equivalent to saying that FSA does not exist anymore. I put yellow green, if yellow gray is considered better, I have no objections, it is fine for me. On the other hand I wonder the logic of yellow-green dots elsewhere under the banner of SDF.Paolowalter (talk) 22:27, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
- Then put yellow-grey. Paolowalter As for the logic about yellow-green under the banner of SDF I could go for a total new color for SDF or just put SDF beside Kurds in the description of the yellow dot ("Kurds & SDF"), but that´s not up to me to decide. Rhocagil (talk) 23:10, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
- According to YPG officials they are only clashing in Sheikh Maqsood meanwhile it is Thuwar vs nusra in north Aleppo so it should be green-grey :DTotholio (talk) 08:18, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
- Reliable and pro-opposition sources earlier said that Jaysh al-Thuwar together with YPG was trying to storm FSA-held village of Al-Malikiyahsourcesourcesource And today kurdish source said that Jaysh al-Thuwar liberated the village of Al-Malikiyah from the Al-Nusra and Ahrar Al-Sham and strengthen its position on the road between Aleppo and Azaz.Hawar News So we can't put this village as under control YPG and FSA. 46.201.74.151 (talk) 11:48, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
- Most starnge SOHR posting [SOHR http://www.syriahr.com/en/2015/11/continued-clashes-in-aleppo-countryside-3/], it mentions clashes 'between regime forces and rebels around al-Malkia village near A’zaz and around Faisal near Kashtaar'. The clashes are likely YPG rebels, apparently SOHR is treating YPG as allied of the government.Paolowalter (talk) 12:41, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
- Also pro-opposition source said that the rebels claimed to retake villages of Kashtaar and Mezre from YPG and that clashes still ongoing in the village of the Malikiya.here So all sources confirmed that it is the conflict between YPGand their allies against the rebels from FSA and their allies but not SDF against Al Nusra. 46.201.74.151 (talk) 13:30, 27 November 2015 (UTC)Paolowalter (talk) 21:01, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Latest news from Al-Masdar SDF fronted by Jaysh Al-Thuwar takes Malikiya. Rhocagil (talk) 00:12, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- It says it was YPG+Thuwar vs fsa+nusra, it can't be yellow/green half circle.Totholio (talk) 07:50, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- SDF led by Jaysh Al-Thuwar captured the villages of Al-Malkiyah, Al-Faysal from the joint forces the FSA/Al-Nusra/Ahrar Al-Sham.sourcesource Also following the loss of both Al-Faysal and Al-Malkiyah, the Free Syrian Army’s leadership issued a statement that condemned the Syrian Democratic Forces for cooperating with the Russians.sourcesource So for now clear that SDF it is enemy of Syrian rebels including FSA, Anhar Al Sham and Al Nusra. And we cant put villages in Aleppo province which taken SDF as under control of SDF and FSA/allies because SDF retake these villages from FSA/allies+Al Nusra. 37.52.29.233 (talk) 09:24, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- RhocagilPaolowalterDuckZzTotholio SOHR reported that violent clashes continue between Syrian Democratic Forces composed of units (YPG, YPJ, Euphrates Volcano ,Jaysh al-Thuwar,Al-Sanadid Forces Syriac Military Council) against Islamic factions and Al-Nusra in Kashtaar,Tanab, and other areas in A’zaz in the northern countryside.SOHRSOHR 37.52.29.233 (talk) 12:18, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- Paolowalter Does THIS mean that you want to change all the "yellow+lime half circles" in Kobane and Hasakah to yellow? I find no "all inclusive" logic in your edit. Rhocagil (talk) 13:56, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- The recent change of alliance made clear that YPG and FSA (or whatever goes under green color) are allies. SDF consists of YPG plus some small groups previously associated to rebels (green) that now are fighting against FSA and Al-Nusra and are supported b yRussain air force. At some point SOHR called them 'regime forces'. I suggest that locations controlled by SDF (only YPG or with some other groups) goes yellow without creating additional ambiguity with the mixed control Yellow-Green.Paolowalter (talk) 15:35, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- RhocagilPaolowalterDuckZzTotholio Pro-opposition source clear said that the opposition factions regain control of the villages of Malkiya and Tenb after fierce battles with Syria Democratic Forces."here So these data confirmed that some rebels(as Jaysh Al Thuwar) joined to SDF which is was created on base of kurdish forces the YPG,YPJ and Syriac Military Council. And other rebels now fight against SDF in Aleppo province. 37.52.29.233 (talk) 19:08, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

- Most units the Syrian Democratic Forces it is the Kurdish forces plus some rebel groups but most it is Kurdish units. But now some of big rebel groups such as Ahrar ash-Sham, al-Nusra and some other smaller rebel groups for now fight against SDF. And Free Syrian Army also now acted against Kurdish forces and on based these data we can said that Free Syrian Army also against SDF in Aleppo province.Charles ListersourceQasioun Newssourcesource 37.52.29.233 (talk) 19:52, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

- I think that yellow used for YPG should be used also for SDF. YPG is the backbone of SDF. It makes no sense and is unpractical to distinguish between them. Therefore all purpoted yellow-green should go yellow.Paolowalter (talk) 09:38, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

So it is of end of cooperation between rebels/FSA and YPG/SDF. So in the Aleppo province we need put in yellow color villages which take YPG/SDF/Jaysh Al Thuwar from rebels but not as green+yellow. 37.52.30.223 (talk) 14:16, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Yellow
Could you please think over the "Yellow" color ? It is indeed very hard to distinguish this color in a background map which ist itself almost yellow ( light Yellowish beige). I think a more forceful color ( yellowish orange) ist much better to see and is not far from this accustomed yellow.to compare:

- Easier solution: lighten the background color of the map. Roboskiye (talk) 16:28, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Roboskiye I agree. How would we do that?Prohibited Area (talk) 17:12, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Then we must change all Maps for Iraq, Yemen, Iraq-Syria and Syria with Paint-Applications. But changing the Yellow-Dots can be made one time, and deployed programmatically and is a very flexible Soluton.--212.75.52.4 (talk) 08:59, 1 December 2015 (UTC)MapMaker
- If changing the shade of dots is easier, then it's OK for me. Yellow is a color of YPG flag while orange seems too much like red which is SAA's color. I propose a stronger yellow than current yellow but not too close to orange as proposed above. Roboskiye (talk) 09:28, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- It is good if the colors somehow fit the flag colors, but nevertheless, it is a matter of definition. F.e. Jibhat-Nusrat ist gray, has nothing to do with their colors. Therefore I vote for yellowish orange, very close to yellow but not so light.

Deir Jamal
Why is Deir Jamal shown as YPG held? According to rebel maps it is controlled by rebel forces. This would make sense as it is located along the Azaz-Aleppo road which is under complete control of the rebels of which have clashes with the Efrin YPG after the YPG advanced on villages close to Azaz and the road which could jeoporadise the supply route. May I have the authorisation to change the town to green?Prohibited Area (talk) 16:09, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
- I don´t trust maps, thou I can´t give you a source I think i was reading this week that it´s still under YPG control. But it´s serenely ot impossible that you are right. Can you give links to the maps you are talking about? Rhocagil (talk) 23:51, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
- [[1]] [[2]] [[3]] All show Deir Jamal as Rebel-held. Considering this comes from 3 different mapmakers it is unlikely that all will be wrong.Prohibited Area (talk) 10:17, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
Maybe so but which rebel,Nusra ,SDF or FSA .There seems to be a major fight going on in this region between rebel groups until there is confirmation i think its best left alone .86.178.102.85 (talk) 12:24, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
Deir Jamal is also controlled by YPG since 2014. Selocan49 (talk) 16:11, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
Banes
Village Banes south of Aleppo still under SAA. SOHR only said about uncertain information about the progress of the rebels in the vicinity of village Bans. But not said that rebels captured this village.SOHR 37.52.29.233 (talk) 12:25, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- Of course we cannot use the following since it isn't a reliable source, but this pro-SAA map by Peto Lucem [4] shows Halasah (Khalasah) and Sa'ibiyah under rebel control. We should look out for reliable sources giving more information about control of these locations. Schluppo (talk) 17:04, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Belligrant Colors
there are some difficulties showing SDF advances on the map while we have some rebels including ahrar sham fighting other rebels SDF (green vs green).
maybe its the time we make some changes in alliances. I think there are two types of rebels. those who ally JAN and those who are not. we can find some rebels including ahrar sham, jaysh al islam, jund al aghsa, zinki etc. whom often coordinate alnusra fighting kurds and SAA.and they never fought alnusra. maybe they better be grey or a variant of grey.
at the other side we can find moderate rebels (frankly they are a few on the map) including SDF. they could be green or any other color. 85.15.42.246 (talk) 05:33, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
Question ...Does the SDF fight against the SAA .If not can they be classified as rebels?
Yes they can, since they reject the regime administration and rule their held areas independently from the regime
Well that maybe your interpritaton but they seem to kill more FSA and I.S. than Government Army troops .86.178.102.85 (talk) 15:23, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
- For now clear that SDF and Rebels/FSA no more allies at the moment they are enemies. Opposition sources confirmed that Rebels/FSA now fight against SDF.sourcevideovideosourcesourcesourcesourcesource videovideoherehreherehere Also rebels burned flags of SDF(offshoot of YPG) in Aleppo countryside.here[5] Pro opp. source said that for now the worst attitude betweeb the FSA and YPG (as SDF) since the beginning of war, after failed SDF offensive backed of Russian Air Force against rebels in Aleppo province.source 37.52.30.223 (talk) 18:14, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
We don't care about that. Rebel groups fight against each other, so what ? Both are still rebels and their tensions should not care us. Our map shows the clashes between Rebels/Gov./Kurds and ISIS, everything else is just too detailed and not for this map, as this map is made to understand the Syrian conflict under normal conditions, for normal people. The current clashes between FSA and FSA under SDF coalition is just politic and nothing else. Ignore it and keep editing the map based on rules. DuckZz (talk) 18:33, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
Hardly read something more nonsense. Once former FSA and FSA (if it still exists) fight with each other they are not in the same alliance anymore. Furthermore SDF is not fighting anymore (or as YPG has never fought) the government, the situation changes rapidly. As far as I can judge, government and SDF are de facto allies. They fight th esame enemies: IS, Al-Nusra, FSA (whatever that means), Turkey and Sausi Arabia. They are both supported by Russia. The only difference is that SDF is somehow backed by USA while government is opposed.Paolowalter (talk) 20:04, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
We can add this to the description under the map: " = Kurds (Including EV & SDF )" or we can add: "
EV & SDF ". (ping! Prohibited Area). And DuckZz this is one of the most important things that have happened on the ground since the Russian intervention and maybe also a result of it, so this tension care the situation a alot. Rhocagil (talk) 01:58, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Im opposed to the
for kurds + SDF. SDF is part of rebels supporting by world powers and may engage in the next government, while kurds might have some kind of autonomy in the next government. then their territory color should be clear and different from the others. Im oppose to the
for the SDF too until the other rebels who help and coordinate Al-Nusra have the same color (green). soon in the future world powers will clarify terrorist and non-terrorist rebels and we have to make our map ready to indicate these facts. 85.15.42.246 (talk) 07:08, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- I have long been seeking a solution for this problem and got a very good solution. The original secular FSA who have now shrunk to small groups allied with YPG under umbrella name of SDF should retain their green color, while the salafist/islamist jihadi groups fighting for Sharia law such as Ahrar ash-Sham and their brethren should be labelled in a light grey, as apposed to Jabhat al-Nusra who are labelled in dark grey (could be further darkened a little bit more than it is now) and ISIS in black.

- Roboskiye SOHR clear said that clashes continued between Kurdish SDF and rebels around Kashtaar and al-Malkia in A’zaz countryside what killed 10 rebels and 8 SDF.SOHR So SDF it is the Kurdish forces plus Jaysh al Thuwar which joint to Kurds in their fight against rebels. Rebels/FSA now fight against SDF and rebels burned flags of SDF(offshoot of YPG) in Aleppo countryside.here[6] So we need use
for kurds + SDF. 37.52.29.85 (talk) 16:45, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- About one third of YPG are non-ethnic Kurds, mostly secular or leftist Arabs. Moreover, about two thirds of non-YPG groups who are active inside SDF are ethnic Arabs. For example, in recent clashes in northern Aleppo several ethnic Arab members of SDF got killed or beheaded by islamists FSA. So yellow does not necessarily represent Kurdish. Roboskiye (talk) 16:56, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- I agree with Roboskiye, we should use different colours for Salafist Rebels and 'Moderate Rebels'. The Moderates should retain the light-green icon whilst the Salafists and Radical Islamists should be given a dark-green colour. I also think that SDF should be identified as Kurdish because of its strong connections and affiliations to the YPG, however the yellow symbol should specify that it includes SDF, which includes Arabic, non-Kurdish, fighters which constitute a minority of the SDF. Such as

- It´s a somewhat good proposition, but i would like the forum to specify witch are the "secular FSA"? in my view the only secular FSA is the ones that have joined up in SDF. Anyway I would not consider use of the light grey (it blends in a little bit to well in the map background). I would prefer something more dark green and like this

All FSA are islamits they snackbaring all time and forced women to wearing Vein when they are
Syrian army and Kurds are secular but Kudrs are separatits Kurds just controlled the so called SDF
- Most, but not all. There are over a dozen of smaller groups who have survived islamists pressure/conquest. Currently most secular FSA are operating in areas close to YPG control, though there is another one emerging in south with US support. I think there are even a number of secular FSA pockets in western Syria too. Roboskiye (talk) 20:13, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Well I agree to this, just use another color then this grey on
. Rhocagil (talk) 20:20, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- The reason for choosing grey is it is a shade of black, similar to dark grey (al-Nusra) and solid black (ISIS), indicating that all these groups are islamist and fighting more or less for the same aim: an Islamic political entity ruled by Sharia law. We can choose another shade of grey as shown in this page: Shades of gray. Silver for Islamist FSA and dimgray for Jabhat al-Nusra. Roboskiye (talk) 20:32, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

= Kurdish Forces (Including Kurdish Affiliates: SDF Coalition)
= Moderate Rebels
= Salafists
= Al-Nusra
The yellow dot should also include a notation mentioning the fact there are non-Kurdish fighters embedded in SDF coalition which are classed as yellow. We should decide on which rebels that hold territory should be classed as 'Salafists' [Radical Rebels] and which should be 'moderate' opposition. We should then link the list to the key.Prohibited Area (talk) 20:45, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
Should be specifically 'Kurdish Forces' and not YPG as the icon already encompasses Kurdish-affiliated Sutoro, Christian and Assyrian militia and if the planned update goes ahead, it will also include the SDF.Prohibited Area (talk) 20:49, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- I strongly disagree using the word "moderate" it´s subjective word. What is "moderate" according to Saudi Arabia is no way "moderate" to me. "Secular" is a better word.Rhocagil (talk) 20:55, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- I agree. However again secular may be inaccurate to describe the rebels in question. Secular implies that they are not Islamist when in fact i'm quite confident 100% of rebel groups are Islamists - however others more so than others. I think we need a different adjective for the 'moderate'-'secular' rebels.Prohibited Area (talk) 21:09, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Should we keep
as Syrian Opposition, and only add

I say this is a stupid idea. and will be waist of time and effort and unmaintainable. I longtime apposed the seperate color for Al-Nusra and here it is going even worse. And all nusra vs FSA control on our map is wrong. no other map has this distinction . Nusra exists everware in green are and in small groups. no single evidence of them controlling any land with no othergroup presence. the map is perfect as it is. clashes between kurds and rebels is clear no need for more colors if there are some arabs between kurgs so what they are still kurds domilated Helmy1453 (talk) 21:41, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Helmy1453 It´s important to show that the Kurdish force is more then a kurdish force because "moderate" FSA join them in SDF, even if kurds are majority. And according to me we can mark all green dots grey because I se al elements that collaborate with Al-Nusra as Al-Nusra. But thats my private opinion and here we need a big consensus. But the absolut minimum change should be to explain yellow as *
= Kurdish Forces (Including Kurdish Affiliates) Rhocagil (talk) 21:59, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- And red is more than just SAA still it is one color. one team means one color this discussin happened when people wanted seperate color for Hezbulah . and we agreed that as long as they are the same team as SAA and not clashing with them then they are all red. the same some groups go and fight with Kerds fine let them all be yellow, call them kurds+SDF but they are not rebels. let me put it this way if they are not bombed by Russian and SAA flights they are not rebels or opposition and they should not be green Helmy1453 (talk) 22:23, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Jabhat al-Nusra who is allied to salafist FSA has its own color but not non-salafist FSA who are considered as infidels and robbers by salafist FSA, and therefore at fierce fighting with eachother?! BTW The non-salafist FSA should not be marked with same color as their enemies i.e. Salafist FSA. Maybe simply yellow? Then comes the complicated question: what about other non-salafist FSA elsewhere in Syria?
- Regarding Hezbullah, it is not a separate belligerent allied to SAA, but it is a supporter of SAA, who fights on behalf of SAA. So Hezbullah does not need a specific color other than red. Roboskiye (talk) 08:31, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- "Then comes the complicated question: what about other non-salafist FSA elsewhere in Syria? " It is not complicated it is simple. Salafie or not Orthodux Russian or Extremist Shiaa Iraninan Militia doesn't make difference. the map is not to describe my or your political Idea. All what you want is to POV this map . Stop pushing your political agenda on the map to support Assad ans Russian point of view. It is simple this map is Control situation on land. groups that fight together and controls together gets the same color. All oppsition including Al-nusra are fighting together and shariong control on the land they should be the same color (green). Kurds and SDF fights together and rule together they get the same color (Yellow). and the same for red and black simple . THERE IS NO CLASHES BETWEEN SALAFIE AND MODERATE FSA . they are allies and work and control together. co fightuing and coexisting, these are the facts and should bee ALL SAME COLOR.

All insurgents are except the Kurds are islamists
Al Qaeda (Nusra) have minor or major presence in all areas controlled by the Insurgents the SDF is totally controlled by the Kurds- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.210.138.186 (talk) 21:49, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- We cannot use ethnic term to name political and military factions in this war. Kurds are present in all fighting parties. Of course many, maybe the majority, support the YPG. On the other hand, since the beginning some non kurds joined YPG as well. That is more evident now with the formation of SDF. Therefore we must adopt
= SDF (including YPG). Some previous rebels forces joined SDF (like Jaysh al Thuwar) and apparently are supported by Russia. In practice those group changed side, their goal is not anymore the overthrow the government but fight IS and other rebel groups. As to the suggestion to distinguish between Salafist, Non-Salafist, secular FSA, it simply makes no sense. There is no such a distinction on the ground, even if we agreed there is no way we can sort which area is occupied by whom. Conclusion: once we turn all yellow-green to yellow (SDF) the map is fine.Paolowalter (talk) 08:39, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm still against this. Rebel factions have clashed in the past, yet we still count them as rebels. Furthermore, the claim that all non-SDF rebels are extremists is incredibly biased, and some of the comments here seem suspiciously opinionated. We cannot let bias or our own personal opinion take precedence over fact. Plus, the Kurd's relationship with the government is mixed at best. The same goes for their relationship with the rebels. I see no reason for the change in color. Anasaitis (talk) 20:09, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Homs – al-Waer
Don't be in a rush to change something, but there seems to be a (at least agreed) deal for rebels to pull out of this place and be safely moved to other rebel-held places. So the control of this town will eventually change to Syrian government...after the implementation fo the deal http://news.yahoo.com/syria-deal-rebels-leave-last-homs-district-governor-131754086.html Be cautious because the deal is not implemented yet, so currently the control is mostly from rebels(or mixed)...this might change any time soon

I seen that too so how can rebel affiliates (apparently) fight along side Syrian Arab Army soldiers that these tribes men are basically, as they have fought with the republican guard in Hasakah and Deri El Zoir, I think all SDF half green half yellow should just be made yellow it seems its mostly ypg and very little "rebels" if any. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.94.232.61 (talk) 12:08, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
The SDF has al Arab component of some 5000 to 7000 men. Those groups belong either to the Free Syrian Army of to local tribal forces. They are as following:
1. Kobani: Burkan al-Furat operations room 2. Raqqah province: Liwa Thuwar Raqqa (hundreds of fighters) and Burkan al-Furat 3. Hasakah province: some FSA (mainly Liwa Tahrir Souriya) and the local Arab Al-Sanadeed Force (1700 fighters)
I think we should make a new color for the SDF. The only problem is that the Kurds won't be an autonomous entity that way, whilst the YPG is the strongest component of the SDF. So, green-yellow dots should be put into place as long as we don't have a true SDF color. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.24.43.183 (talk) 18:16, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
This discussion was done before, the conclusion is that SDF is represented by yellow. Green-yellow is a lie because the green here has nothing to do with the green of the rest of Syria. YPG (not kurds) fight under the banner of SDF now, so yellow means SDF and only YPG. That simple.Paolowalter (talk) 19:06, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
- SDF consist on 90% from Kurdish forces YPG,YPJ and former FSA group Jaysh al-Thuwar(Revolutionary Army) which is now in alliance with YPG/SDF.

why al-Qaeda's allies are green?
I mean MWAA, JAAD, and other groups not presented in SRCC. It will be much more logical if they will be displayed gray as JaN. - 81.177.127.236 (talk) 20:02, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

- Yes it would be perfectly logical to display those as grey, in fact all of the Jaish al-Fatah operation room Rhocagil (talk) 00:33, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
Yes of course, then remove the green color, replace is with grey because we know Al Qaida makes up 90% of rebels and 9% are other jihady groups, 1% are foreign moderates which we should mark as green in 1 or 2 villages. Now go back to twitter and spit your anger somewere else. DuckZz (talk) 01:30, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
Yes of course. Make everything grey, because the entire of northern Syria is in the hands of throat-cutters (sarcasm). No, wait, even better: make everything black and quote Russian sources, because they are bombing Islamic State in Latakia and Idlib! So, back to the real world and objectivity: bad idea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.24.43.183 (talk) 13:40, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Katf Al-Ziyarah
Al Masdar states that Katf Al-Ziyarah was captured by SAA. It is not clear if it means Az Ziyārah or, as suggested on twitter Katf Al-Ziyarah in north Latakia. Any idea?Paolowalter (talk) 12:56, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Green-Yellow color map huge change
Someone changed every joint rebel-YPG icon to yellow color in the entire Raqqa and Hasaka province. This is the biggest edit on this map since its creation and no source was provided. We had no discussion on the talk page about it, only few troll arguments and nothing was agreed about that. 13 rebel groups are part of the SDF in Hasaka province, 5 rebels groups are part of the Burkan Firat coalition in Raqqa province, 2 are working separately.......... The user who made this edid should be lifetime banned. DuckZz (talk) 14:11, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
- This topic was discussed in depth and agreed by most if not all editors. You can find the arguments above.
Calling trolls all the editors who joined the discussion is extremly offensive and should bring you to lifetime ban. In summary: the few (former rebels) groups that joined YPG to form SDF basically abndoned their original agenda of fighting the government and are dedicated to fight ISIS and sometimes other rebel groups like in northern Aleppo.Paolowalter (talk) 16:14, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
- DuckZz Here are the main discussion on this topic here And here confirmation that we need use yellow color for SDF it is that SDF comprises nearly the 40,000 fighters source and most of them are 30,000 units from the YPG.source plus YPJ and Jaysh Al Tuwar which joined to YPG. 46.201.223.212 (talk) 17:33, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
The SDF has no presence in Raqqa province. The SDF was created and operates in Hasaka. Liwa Thuwar Raqqa stated that they work independently in Raqqa province and that they have 6 000 members (i don't care if true or not) and Burkan Firat still exists in Raqqa province and they control Ayn Isa, Tell Abyad and Sarrin. Every rebel group from Raqqa said that they are a FSA group but not linked with other rebels in Aleppo. They deserv their own color, they are not Kurds, not Kurdish groups. Joint control is a must in Raqqa province, while i agree for Hasaka that we should not mark every village as under joint control, until we have 100% source. Raqqa should be changed ... i do not believe you actually did this. DuckZz (talk) 18:23, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
- Someone is mad. They can't be green cause it would mean they are the same like the moderate beheaders.Totholio (talk) 19:54, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

"YPG (and Affiliates" should be changed to "YPG (and Affiliates)" or even better to "YPG and allies" given that SDF is an alliance (as stated on their wikipedia page) and affiliate isn't that clear as to what it means. Formagella (talk) 22:53, 5 December 2015 (UTC) SDF are only a force of 2000 (If that) men mixed in with around 40,000 Kurds, just because someone makes a wiki page doesn't mean its factual. This map would be to complicated if we started adding all the various groups that make up Syrian Armys alliance, which many have forces much larger such as Hezbollah estimated 15000-20000 where is their colour? Or the IRGC 10000 where is their colour?
