Lack of sources

Large chunks of this relatively newly created article appear to be written without any citations, in obvious violation of Wikipedia:Citing sources and WP:V. I will therefore delete some most egregious pieces of text as well as attempt to rectify the problem where I can.Axxxion (talk) 20:34, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the notice. This article seems to have had a history of Russian bias. I recently tried to neutralize all language in the article to simply reflect objective reports and sources.Thelovelyconch (talk) 21:47, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Map is wrong

Hello, the text says that Al-Tanf is located in Homs Governorate, and this is correct. However, the map (second one from above in the article, this one) shows the place in Rif Dimashq Governorate. The problem is not the location of the red point but the template used for the map: it shows the frontier between Homs and Rif Dimashq as running north-east from the point where the Jordan-Iraq frontier touches the Syrian frontier, when in fact it runs south-west of that point. It's easy to check just by looking at Google Maps. Unfortunately I'm no expert in Wikimedia templates and can't fix it myself. Ilyacadiz (talk) 14:09, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
