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!

Merge

Propose to merge October 2012 Jordanian–Syrian border clash and April 2014 Jordanian–Syrian border airstrike into Syrian–Jordanian border incidents during the Syrian Civil War, in order to create a more comprehensive article. Each incident on its own is barely notable.GreyShark (dibra) 06:02, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support: since there have been numerous other incidents of this type and having a single article for each is impractical. Makeandtoss (talk) 20:41, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Map

How can we get a close up map on the Jordanian Syrian borders instead of a map of the Middle East highlighting the two countries? Makeandtoss (talk) 00:10, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Makeandtoss: I think we should have both: a picture of the 2 countries highlighted, and a close-up of the border. But I can't find anything related to the border on Commons. Do you think adding geocodes will help? Maybe we can have pictures as well/instead... --Flycatchr 08:44, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how to do maps, but there's a form on Wikipedia where you can request graphic volunteers for a map. Its pretty slow, considering that your request may take over a year.. Makeandtoss (talk) 10:21, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Makeandtoss: Link me to the the form please. I can probably make one in the next week, what areas should I focus on? --Flycatchr 10:33, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Map workshop Probably not worth the effort to request a map in that workshop, but making a map similar to Wikipedia's format is better. But if thats not an option then go ahead... It should probably be something like this or this. Makeandtoss (talk) 11:02, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! --Flycatchr 09:56, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Should this be a list article?

Just wondering whether this should qualify as a list article... so: "List of Jordanian-Syrian border incidents during the Syrian Civil War" --Flycatchr 08:46, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
