Kurds/ SDF

I want to change the description of the yellow marks/dots from "Kurds" to "Kurds & SDF". Anyone has an opinion on this? If more FSA-factions join SDF 1 2 3 4 maybe there need to be bigger changes on the map... I have no idea but I´m raising the question. Rhocagil (talk) 01:24, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We have Syrian Democratic Forces in Hasakah most of which it is a Kurdish forces which fight against ISIS with with a little help some rebels. Here Al-Hawl offensive And we have Syrian Democratic Forces which fight afainst ISIS in Idlib and Aleppo Governorates and they also fight against Syrian troops and their allies. Their difference is that the first fights only against ISIS while the second fights against ISIS and against the Syrian army. So don't need to change anything on the map. 95.134.186.238 (talk) 15:16, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, we should change all villages captured by SDF to Green-Yellow symbol.Prohibited Area (talk) 15:38, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Prohibited Area I think I agree with you. But I do think that in addition we should put up this icon (yellow+lime) on the description-board under the map as SDF.Rhocagil (talk) 22:58, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Rhocagil (talk) No, because Yellow-Green also represents Euphrates Volcano. This would also encourage the argument that, for instance, Green-Grey should be labelled as 'Jaish al Fatah' or 'Fatah Halab' etc. If a coalition of forces capture a village the village should represent this with the respective symbol for mixed control. We should not change these symbols for mixed control so that they exclusively satisfy conditions of control by one form of coalition, given there are hundreds in Syria.Prohibited Area (talk) 11:37, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Prohibited Area you are right. Rhocagil (talk) 13:13, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Huwwarin and Mahin IS controlled still?

How come Huwwarin and Mahin are reverted to black? The Syrian Army has entered Mahin and captured Huwwarin, it was reported not so long ago.

ICARDA, Barqum and area not regime-controlled

ICARDA, Barqum and areas around them are still under rebel control according to both pro-regime and pro-rebel maps. The only map I've seen that suggests that they are is Peto, which alone is far from sufficient. Should be changed. 74.15.172.30 (talk) 18:17, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

SOHR claimed Icarda and Barqoum under SAA, Peto Lucem was 1 day later after that, same with Amin. Still 0 evidence of rebels controlling it, maybe cause SAA/Hezb withdrew to nearby hills having fire control over the area and waiting for the russian air force to weaken the orcs.Also you are linking mr noname a one week old tweet from Amin which is ridiculous considering it's a war, sites changing hands every day. Also we should talk about this Al qaeda leader Moheisni says AQ,nusra and FSA is all one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs0PWXBkEPs&feature=youtu.beTotholio (talk) 16:51, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Finally, a reliable source stating the obvious, i.e. the "recapture of the ICARDA facility and several other sites" by rebels [1]. Also rebels "have launched a counter-offensive at the strategic town of Tal Al-‘Eiss" [2]. Schluppo (talk) 00:55, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The source used to put a green halfcircle on the Southern Edges of Banes should really be used to turn it green, or at least contested.

Shaer, Jazal and Jihar oil fields

Yesterday SOHR mentioned clases between SAA and ISIS "in the two oilfields of Jazal and al-Sha’er": http://www.syriahr.com/en/2015/11/clashes-in-varying-degrees-take-place-in-the-countryside-of-homs-while-civilians-wounded-during-the-rocket-shelling-by-modern-missiles-on-the-countryside-of-idlib/ Today SOHR reports clashes at al-Shaer and Jihar oilfields. Jihar is really not on the front, but between Tadmor and Tiyas (even nearer to Tiyas). Are there some other reports from there? Here SOHR-article of today (but now only in arabic): http://www.syriahr.com/2015/11/أرياف-حمص-الشمالية-والشرقية-والجنوبي But if the report is true, that would mean, that the SAA retreat from the Daw-region (where there are fightings since a week). By the way: On our map "Daw" is only a dot. In fact, it is the whole fertile area between this dot and the Jihar field. Or am I wrong? Mughira1395 (talk) 12:36, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are wrong.
  • At first SOHR said yesterday that the clashes was the near Shaer and Jazal Oil Fields.SOHR
  • Secondly this report here from SOHR not said about clashes near near Jihar Oil Field source said about clashes near al-Shaer. Hey man you need more carefully read reports from SOHR and SOHR not said that SAA retreated from Al Daw area.
  • Also pro opposition source clear said that the SAA has made advances on the front of Palmyra in the towns of al-Kassarat and al-Tamthil west of the city of Palmyra and recapturing the cellular tower of Syriatel and Muthallath Tadmur area to west Palmyra.here
So no need to invent because SOHR even not said that SAA retreated or that ISIS advance. 37.52.28.53 (talk) 14:10, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also earlier realiable source clear said that the SAA/allies captured the Jabal Ma’ar, Al-Bayarat the Ancient Palmyra Quarries, Al-Kassarat and Al-Dawa outside the city of Palmyra after a series of intense firefights with ISIS.source 37.52.28.53 (talk) 14:40, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also sometimes SOHR made mistakes in the reports. Sometimes SOHR said that clashes in but next time said clashes near. So that need more data before put the semi-circles near Sha'er or Jazal fields. And not a one from relaible sources not said that ISIS regain areas near Palmyra. 37.52.28.53 (talk) 14:58, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I will not begin a discussion with an unqualified person, who is neither able to read a posting, nor the articles. First you write with absolutly certainty, that SOHR don't say that the clashes are "in" the fields. Then you correct yourself to write, that if SOHR says "in" that often means "near". Second you are not able to read arabic, because you deny with the same certitude, that the SOHR-article in arabic mentions the Jihar field. Here in arabic from the article: ومناطق اخرى في محيط حقلي شاعر وجحار بريف حمص الشرقي , so I don't know what you are reading. And at last: I did not say anything about any changing in the map, but I am asking (competent people) if there is any other news about it. Mughira1395 (talk) 15:39, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
SOHR sometimes made mistakes in reports. Also we not have more data about clahses near Jirah Oil Field or that the SAA retreated from the Al Dawa area. Also maby in report from SOHR was made mistake and was the erroneously written Jihar instead Jazal. So we need more data. 37.52.28.53 (talk) 17:25, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also, except for one mention in one report from the SOHR we have no other data from the reliable or from the biased sources about clashes near Jihar Oil Field. Even the pro-ISIS sources don't speaks about this. 37.52.28.53 (talk) 17:36, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We should also make Al-Hawl held jointly by the YPG and the FSA. This article from AraNews (a reliable Kurdish-orientated source for Syria) says several FSA groups are participating in the offensive in Hasakah: http://aranews.net/2015/11/war-on-isis-unites-syrian-kurds-arabs-and-christians/ . It mentions the Arab Al-Sanadeed Force, the Shams ash-Shamal Brigades and the Liwa Tahrir Souriya of the Free Syrian Army. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.24.43.183 (talk) 19:32, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, although do note that Sanadeed is *not* an FSA group but under YPG umbrella, in any case FSA did participate in getting control of Al Hol so yellow-green seems just logical.

SDF and FSA

Some editors are changing arbitrarily yellow (YPG) controlled locations to mixed yellow-green just to demonstrate that FSA (green) has some presence in areas where it hasn't. Unless the presence of FSA group is proved the locations must remain yellow. The change of name fro YPG to SDF does not change the fact that those areas are YPG controlled.

Paolowalter Why were you not in this discussion? Rhocagil (talk) 01:29, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Paolowalter (talk) That is false, green represent the rebels- not the FSA. The SDF is a coalition of Rebels and Kurds, similar to Euphrates Volcano and we have marked areas controlled by Euphrates Volcano under Green+Yellow therefore it only logical to apply the same to Hasakah and the SDF. Please do not revert until we agree on a compromise or solution in the talk section.Prohibited Area (talk) 12:13, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No. You stop your arbitrary interpretation unless we find a clear solution.

What is understood as rebels are islamic factions fighting the government. SDF fight IS. In fact is Hasaka government and YPG controlled areas live side by side. Actually yellow and mixed green-yellow appears to be scattered randomly.Paolowalter (talk) 23:51, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Map of Syrian Army Advance in Latakkia

From the map, one would assume that the Latakkia frontline has remained static yet in reality, the Syrian Army has mostly advanced. I think the map on this site http://www.modernfrontlines.com/2015/11/21/1401-syrian-army/ paints an accurate picture. It also shows villages the army has recently captured like Deir Hanna. The wikipedia map continues to show the October 7 frontline while this site shows the changes that have occured since then up to 21st November.Please update the map accordinglyGERALD710 (talk) 15:13, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We know and follow closely those maps but they cannot be used directly for updating ours.

Our map has been updated regularly (including Deir Hanna). I did not add all hills taken by SAA in order not to clutter the map. Changes are not so apparent because the territory seized is relatively small.Paolowalter (talk) 23:44, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

City of Mahajjah/Muhajja/Mhajjeh, Daraa Governate. Also Kiswa and Kanakir, Damascus Governate.

Over the last 3 or 4 months, it has been hard to understand if the town of Mahajjah along the vital Daraa-Damascus highway has been under rebel control or not. It was shown on and off, mostly on, as a rebel-controlled town on the template and the png. map until mid October. As of today it has been added as rebel-controlled again. However I have not seen any information on the web about this. It seems unlikely as this would cause serious problems for the Syrian army trying to resupply Daraa from Damascus and it would be bigger news. Also the Damascus part of the map does not show opposition control of the city of Kanakir (under truce I believe) or their control of half of Kiswa in the Southern coutryside of Damascus. I am sure you get a lot of nervous requests to change the map but these are long-standing things that I noticed and am pretty sure need a correction.

Finally, you provide an invaluable service and if I can be of any assistance, I would be glad to help out.

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'.

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)[reply]

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: compare

Your proposal is much better.

I agree. We should change to proposed colour.Prohibited Area (talk) 16:09, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agree too. Iraq map would need changes for consistency too then.Ariskar (talk) 17:30, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It´s a good idea. Rhocagil (talk) 23:51, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
[[6]] [[7]] [[8]] 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)[reply]
