WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Northern Aleppo offensive (February 2016), along with other pages relating to the Syrian Civil War and ISIL, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

Belligerents

All of the sources mentioned in this article (and all other that I've seen) mention the rebel factions during this conflict to be Jabhat Al-Nusra, Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham, Harakat Nouriddeen Al-Zinki, and Jaysh Al-Mujahiddeen (they mostly mention al-Nusra), and none of them refer to the Free Syrian Army. Although it seems the Free Syrian Army was involved in the siege initially, apparently it was not a major group in this conflict. --Z 09:08, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

al Masdar for the child soldier

al Masdar is the source used to report the death of the child soldier. It is a strongly pro-assad source. Should it really be trusted on a matter like that, if no other media reports it? 108.28.192.131 (talk) 15:12, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Media report every time child soldiers are used in Syria,

Is Jaysh Thuwar ally or enemy of SAA?

They have the old Syria flag and supposedly are rebels.

They are part of Kurdish-led SDF which is nominally neutral towards the Syrian government. EkoGraf (talk) 03:35, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Battel for Azaz.

I dont want to see the Future, WP is not a Crystalball but a possible Battle for Azaz should deserve its own article or not?Mr.User200 (talk) 12:41, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No Battle of Azaz has occurred as of yet. If it does, we will see if it becomes notable (or prolonged) enough to warrant its own article. EkoGraf (talk) 03:36, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
