Then I Was Guided moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Then I Was Guided, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the confirms on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.

Your edits

I have reverted your edits on Deir ez-Zor offensive (September 2017–present) because one incident of a retaliatory airstrike by US for SAA'S attack on an SDF headquarters isn't enought to add SAA or anyone as a combatant. If there are sustained and continous clashes, then it may be added. However, recent reports on Twitter of further clashes between SDF and Syrian Army seem to be false (https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/reports-offensive-us-led-forces-syrian-army-deir-ezzor-may-false-opposition-media-begins-scare-campaign/). We generally avoid Twitter as it is not generally reliable because anyone can claim anything on social media. So please don't use it when other more reliable sources like well-known news sites contradict it. MonsterHunter32 (talk) 00:43, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Disruptive editing

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Étienne Dolet (talk) 02:14, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Note

Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Disambiguation link notification for February 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Taliban, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hazara (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:43, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add defamatory content, as you did at Salih Muslim Muhammad, you may be blocked from editing. Khirurg (talk) 07:53, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

February 2018

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Khirurg (talk) 07:53, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Editor abcdef (talk) 10:16, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring, as you did at Turkish military operation in Afrin. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  NeilN ^{talk to me} 13:34, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

If you continue to edit this way, the next step will be a topic ban. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 13:36, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Your addition to Turkish military operation in Afrin‎ has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Étienne Dolet (talk) 23:00, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Ahrar al-Sharkas

Why did you move this page to your userspace? I see that you then copied a version of this article from your sandbox to replace it. If you need help with merging or moving pages, please let me or someone know - don't try doing it yourself. Otherwise, it just makes undoing any issues and merging or moving everything more difficult to fix and get done correctly. Thanks :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:33, 23 February 2018 (UTC) Something weird happened Im not sure what, please just remove all pages regarding Ahrar Al-Sharkas made by me thank you Takinginterest01 (talk) 05:35, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

I moved everything back for you. I also saw that you had some revisions in your user sandbox; I went ahead and merged those articles for you. Let me know if you need anything else. Best - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:37, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

My user page is Ahrar al-Sharkas please change it and remove it from my user page Takinginterest01 (talk) 05:39, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

It's moved back into the article space where it belongs. Your repeated attempts to move and blank it are disruptive - please stop. Why do you want this page deleted exactly? I don't understand... ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:46, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

I was writing an article for a group in southern Syria active in 2014, but in my sandbox I was writing an article for a group called the Dzhokhar Dudayev Battalion which is active in Ukraine. I had to leave the Dudayev battalion page in my sandbox because when I tried to publish it, I got an error saying a page for it already exists but I didn't want my work to be deleted so I left it there and put in a request to an administrator to work it out.

Then I began writing about this other group in southern Syria in my sandbox but accidentally copied the Ukrainian group in instead then hit publish and some so I tried to move it back to my user page as I couldnt move it back to sandbox then from there I would just copy and paste the article's code into my sandbox and remove it from my USER PAGE and also to prevent it from being out on Wikipedia as it is all inaccurate, unfinished and an accident.

Nomination of Republic of Florida (Militia) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Republic of Florida (Militia) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Republic of Florida (Militia) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:04, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dmitry Utkin

Hello Takinginterest01,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Dmitry Utkin for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Template:Z166

Speedy deletion nomination of Androphobia (Phobia)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Androphobia (Phobia), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ... discospinster _talk 01:45, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Battle of Afrin City

Hi - thanks for your input for this page. I created it and have done most of the content (though plenty of people have worked on it_) I know it needs a big grammar check,... however it is up for AFD so I have been waiting for the results of that before I put a whole lot of work into it. Its been on AFD for 8 days, so there should be some resolution (one way or the other) in a couple of days or so. Cheers Deathlibrarian (talk) 23:55, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:18, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Takinginterest01, I am obligated to warn you that you have made more than 1 revert in less than 24 hours on this article, which is under a 1RR policy as all Syrian war-related articles. I would ask that you cancel your last revert of me, withhold from any more reverts and use the talk page so we can find a compromise solution. I have already left you a message on the article's talk page, explaining step-by-step all of my actions and I am awaiting a reply. If you still have issues with my actions I will be ready to listen to a compromise proposal and I have high hopes we can resolve the problem since we have had a good working relationship so far.

Your draft article, Draft:Then I Was Guided

Hello, Takinginterest01. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Then I Was Guided".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Hhkohh (talk) 10:05, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:LiwaAsifaAlShamal logo.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:LiwaAsifaAlShamal logo.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

November 2018

I would request moving the page 2018 northern Syria border clashes, to something like Turkish military operation in Kobani or Tell Abyad or Eastern Euphrates whatever you prefer but i think the current page name does not fit the topic. The bombings are limited to mainly Kobani area, so entire northern syria is incorrect. Also there are for now only bombardments by the Turkish Air Force and no clashes yet, only preparations. In addition, it will fit the other military interventions from Turkey in Syria better; Turkish military operation in Afrin and Turkish military operation in Idlib.

We are in the same boat, and I sympathize, but you should probably self-revert this one.

Syrian Desert campaign (December 2017–present)

The Eastern Syria insurgency (2017–present) article is about the ISIL/TFSA/Popular resistance fight against the SDF. For the ISIL vs government campaign being waged around the ISIL-controlled desert pocket we have a separate article Syrian Desert campaign (December 2017–present). Feel free to conduct updates on the Syrian Desert campaign article, any improvements on your part would be appreciated. EkoGraf (talk) 12:15, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

SDF Insurgency in Northern Aleppo

Takinginterest01, the most common name for that rebel faction is the TFSA (Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army), per Wiki policy we use the most common name. The Wikipedia article on them itself is not called the Syrian National Army. Also, there are no sources supporting that the so-called "interim government" is in a conflict with the SDF. And besides, not one of our Syria battle articles list the "interim government" as a combatant, regardless if various rebel factions claim allegiance to it. This is the standard template that we have been using for years. EkoGraf (talk) 13:11, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Syrian Desert campaign (December 2017–present)

Takinginterest01, I would please ask that you cancel your revert of me here [1] because the topic of that article is about the ISIL vs SAA desert campaign, not about any potential FSA/HTS insurgency in the province against the SAA which is a totally separate thing. You can create an article for the possible opposition insurgency against the SAA if you wish and I would be glad to help you out in expanding the article. EkoGraf (talk) 19:12, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Here we go, I have created the article Deir ez-Zor insurgency (2019). Feel free to let me know if I can help out in any other way in expanding the article. EkoGraf (talk) 19:30, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

2019 Deir ez-Zor Protests

Dear Takinginterest01, I have seen that you have reverted my deletion of clearly unsourced phrases. Could you explain to me why? From my point of view, if you give a source, it should say so in the source. Some of the phrases are supported by the source, but some clearly not. And a Rudaw article is rather a bad source (as only source) for such delicate phrases you have used it, since they are known to be against the SDF anyway and hardly have access to the area they have written about in the article. Maybe you find something from Wladimir von Wilgenburg who is staying in the area from time to time. He is more pro SDF, ok, but most serious journalists are and he usually reports fair and mostly actually has visited the places he reports about. Best, Lean Anael (talk) 08:27, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Syria and the Iraqi Insurgency

You keep reverting my edits of Syria's role in the Iraq Insurgency. Your sources are allegations and/or contradicted by many other sources. One of your articles claims that Syria helped ferry/encourage fighters to go to Iraq in 2003, not true, military officials noted no Syrian role in recruiting fighters to go to Iraq, (https://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/15/world/a-nation-at-war-damascus-syria-fears-the-unknown-what-s-behind-us-threats.html) the official Syrian position was dissuading going to Iraq (https://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/02/world/a-nation-at-war-the-islamic-world-for-arabs-new-jihad-is-in-iraq.html) and alleged Syrian intelligence spooks like the radical anti-American Islamist Abu al-Qa'qa' dissuaded his followers from going to Iraq in 2003. (https://www.csmonitor.com/2003/1003/p06s01-wome.html) These volunteers were recruited and bused by the Iraqi government at consulates around the Arab world not by the Syrian government (https://www.economist.com/special-report/2003/03/27/volunteers-for-the-war). These fighters flowed in from Jordan as well, (https://www.npr.org/news/specials/iraq2003/northam_alkarana.html) as well as Lebanon (https://www.upi.com/Arab-volunteers-join-Iraq-battle/96171048954848/). In 2004 Syria was involved in the killing of an AQ smuggler to Iraq, something unlikely if Syria was supporting them (http://joshualandis.oucreate.com//syriablog/archives/2004_09_01_faculty-staff_archive.htm). The Syrian government claimed in 2005 over 1k fighters were arrested by Syria, on the charge of heading to Iraq (https://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/24/politics/syria-stops-cooperating-with-us-forces-and-cia.html). Corroborated by clashes with Syrian security forces (https://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/05/world/middleeast/syrians-clash-with-fighters-linked-to-the-iraqi-insurgency.html) Razan Zaitouneh noted forced disappearances and acknowledges the arrests by the Syrian government of those trying to get to Iraq, although she inaccurately reports of Syrian government encouragement during the first month of the war.(http://archive.is/N6N6S#selection-45.1-50.0) Jihadist forums as well refer to Assad as an "American boot-licker" for his crackdowns (http://archive.is/9SdxO#selection-45.1-50.0) and furthermore this was noted by Abizaid, other US military officials (http://archive.is/iGtYr) and as well as major opposition leader and former Syrian VP Abdul Halim Khaddam (http://archive.is/SFtDi#selection-45.1-50.0). They all note of either Syrian crackdowns or lack of Syrian government involvement in the insurgency. In 2007 a US spokesman noted Syrian efforts to crack down on the fighters trying to get into Iraq and a reduction of the the flow, (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rice-to-meet-with-syria-at-iraq-conference/) even Petraeus who contradicts his own narrative notes of "robust efforts" by the Syrian government (https://www.joshualandis.com/blog/syria-gets-credit-for-gains-in-iraq-jihadists-come-from-us-allies/). Wikileaks cables document over 100 repatriations of Libyan fighters trying to get into Iraq by the Syrian government and heavy cooperation with the Libyan government (https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/08TRIPOLI500_a.html). Trials for suspected militants attempting to sneak into Iraq (https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/07DAMASCUS1143_a.html) and meetings on Syrian efforts on the border issue (https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/07DAMASCUS836_a.html). In 2008, more appraisal from US officials (https://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/28/world/middleeast/28syria.htm) and a US commander noted helpful cooperation with the Syrians, though noted isolated instances of corruption in both Syrian and Iraqi border patrols (https://www.thenational.ae/world/mena/syria-stops-insurgents-on-iraq-border-1.525878?videoId=5771275459001). By 2009, the border crossings were fully under control. (https://www.newsday.com/news/world/on-syria-border-no-sign-of-saddam-loyalists-1.1646990). The Syrian government actively attempted to crack down on the smugglers, however this was a difficult task as smuggling had been a tradition in the area for centuries and the Iraq-Syria border was really just a formality and top this off with local corruption which plagues Syria. Even the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies noted that "preventing militants from crossing its [Syria's] 380-mile border with Iraq is daunting" and that Syria "lacks sufficient resources to do so" (https://csis-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/legacy_files/files/media/csis/pubs/050919_saudimiltantsiraq.pdf). The idea that Syria ever supported the insurgency are just allegations and/or from inaccurate or contradicting sources.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Iraq War; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. SharabSalam (talk) 16:36, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Inner-SDF conflict during the Syrian Civil War

The article Inner-SDF conflict during the Syrian Civil War has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Literally not notable or significant, can simply be covered in the SDF article; it already is. There is no need for an entire article dedicated to this "conflict", consisting of sporadic incidents—the last of which was over a year ago, just like there's no need for inner-TFSA, inner-Ahrar al-Sham, or inner Tahrir al-Sham articles; all of these conflicts are innumerably more frequent than the few cases of inner-SDF fighting.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
