ISIS retakes Division 17 Army Base in surprise counter-offensive north of Raqqa https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/isis-retakes-division-17-army-base-surprise-counter-offensive-north-raqqa-city/ 105.73.27.241 (talk) 03:31, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: Al-Masdar News is identified in multiple sources as pro-Syrian regime or pro-Assad. The shape of this conflict means that almost all sources reporting form inside the country are biased. This suggests that claims should have two sources to counter possible bias, and there are no other sources reporting this event that don't track back to the Al-Masdar article.

Al-Romaniya

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

It twice says Romanian suburb. The sources make it clear that it's Al-Romaniya suburb. The correct translation would be Roman suburb, but there is no reason to translate the name at all. 80.132.70.87 (talk) 08:37, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Human rights violations etc

This article needs a section to address civilian casualties and human rights violations. Washington post wrote that the US is using white phosphorus in densely populated civilian areas. DerElektriker (talk) 10:22, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Update

The map changes almost daily, mostly in favour of the Syrian opposition. Today, it shows an entirely surrounded Raqqa for the first time. However, the main text stops at June 20th. Could someone please update the article, so that it keeps up with the changing map? Steinbach (talk) 09:20, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Battle of Raqqa (2017). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20170606023908/https://www.afp.com/fr/infos/335/syrie-21-civils-fuyant-raqa-tues-dans-une-frappe-de-la-coalition to https://www.afp.com/fr/infos/335/syrie-21-civils-fuyant-raqa-tues-dans-une-frappe-de-la-coalition

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Semi-protected edit request on 31 July 2017

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Battle of Raqqa (2017). (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
