ISIS in the infobox

I think the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant should be in the infobox because they have played a big role in the battle of Aleppo. They still control the outskirts and surrounding areas of Aleppo and have done for a very long time and still launch attacks/fight against both government and rebel forces near the city and surroundings. So ISIS should be put in the infobox as a belligerent. They have participated throughout!--PaulPGwiki (talk) 09:15, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It was decided long ago (years ago) on the discussion page to focus this article exclusively only on the battle for the city. ISIS is a littler over a dozen kilometers away from the city in the province's countryside. If they ever do reach the city we would add them. EkoGraf (talk) 18:17, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yeah i understand, its the battle for the city itself not including the surrounding area/countryside, that explains it, thankyou. And yeah if they ever do reach the city then they should be added.--PaulPGwiki (talk) 10:02, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 6 October 2016

This edit request to Battle of Aleppo (2012–present) has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The opening paragraph makes no sense, I want to remove the phrase "and against the Kurdish People's Defence Units" because it makes no sense. I suggest either amending the grammar or removing this altogether.

Sammyh2000 (talk) 06:08, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Can you be more specific about why it makes no sense and what you would like us to change it to? Topher385 (talk) 22:02, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The page's protection level has changed since this request was placed. You should now be able to edit the page yourself. If you still seem to be unable to, please reopen the request with further details. — JJMC89 (T·C) 05:03, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have added UN statements on rebels shelling civilians

They come from UN News portal: The use by armed opposition groups of what is known as a ‘hell-fire cannon,’ a homemade mortar that fires gas cylinders packed with explosives and shrapnel, is also totally unacceptable,” the High Commissioner said, noting that the use of such weapons constitutes indiscriminate attacks, as they are virtually impossible to aim correctly and have frequently killed and maimed civilians in Government-held areas. “As no military advantage can likely be gained from their use due to their inaccuracy, it must be concluded that their primary purpose is to terrorize the inhabitants of western Aleppo,” he added

There are other sources confirming that the rebels do indeed shell civilians and terrorize the population.--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 21:31, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The question though is whether or not they purposefully target the civilians, like the Russian and Syrian governments do, as military tactic. You know, like Luftwaffe strafing refugees on the roads in 1939, because that's pretty much what these two governments are doing. That's the difference. Also, this "terrorize the population", I believe, is your own original, very POV, research and hyperbolic rhetoric, which really just evidences your own biases in terms of editing this article. Unless that was somehow meant to describe Russian and Syrian government actions but you miswrote something. Did you? Volunteer Marek (talk) 00:34, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
