ISIS and SDF on lede

Dear, they ar already mentioned did you read it? Adding them again is not really helpful. Please explain your edits. Shadow4dark (talk) 22:11, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

From my lengthy protection summary that didn't fully make it: IP, you've not engaged the talk page (here). Why is that? The lead paragraph already says "The Turkish military and Turkey-aligned Syrian rebel groups, some of which used the Free Syrian Army label, fought against the forces of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) as well as against the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)." Do you [not see that?] El_C 07:48, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If lead paragraph mentions them anyway, why are they mentioned again in the first sentence?

First sentence: "Operation Euphrates Shield (Turkish: Fırat Kalkanı Harekâtı) was a cross-border military operation conducted by the Turkish Armed Forces and Turkey-aligned Syrian opposition groups in the Syrian Civil War which led to the Turkish occupation of northern Syria."

The only thing that is missing in the first sentence is who it was done against. It mentions one side of the conflict (TAF and aligned Syrian groups), where it happened (Syrian civil war) and the result (occupation of northern Syria) but it doesn't mention who it was done against. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.230.181.172 (talk) 11:12, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe remove the second paragraph or move it to first paragraph. But do not add them twice on ledeShadow4dark (talk) 16:28, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Page protected

Page has been protected for 72 hours so the matter of whether to call it a "cross-border military operation" or "invasion" can be discussed here. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 05:39, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems fine to call this an invasion, plenty of RS describing it as such. [ Lavipao (talk) 06:15, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove something from the result section

Clashes erupt between Turkish-backed Syrian rebels and SDF, YPG withdraws to east of Euphrates though Turkey disputes this this seems outdated and not true.

50,000 Syrian refugees in Turkey have returned to the areas which were taken under control since the beginning of the intervention. irrelevant to the result section. Also per infobox template, only x victory is appropriate. Beshogur (talk) 20:33, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
