WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Refugees of the Syrian civil war, 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!

Statistics revamped

Hi! A little update here: I have restructured, augmented and updated the statistics paragraph. And to clear things up I added some information to emphasize the difference between refugees and asylum seekers on one hand, and resettled people (former refugees) on the other hand.

The old table was a conceptual mix of current refugees and resettled former refugees, which lead to data that's impossible to compare between countries. That has hopefully improved now. I have added a lot of data from UNHCR on current refugee(like) people, and updated immigration data for several countries. There are still quite some countries with missing or outdated immigration data, they are tagged as such and I hope others will join to add more data.

The old graph had an incorrect 'total' column: it was only the total of the displayed countries - not the total of all known refugee(like) people. It also cherry-picked a few countries. I have now graphed every country with currently >100,000 refugee(like) people (according to UNHCR data) + grouped all the other countries. And added 2020.

No old data or sources have been removed except a few outdated secondary sources (news articles) that referenced UNHCR data, as I have now just referenced the proper UNHCR website directly. I have tagged all sources older than 3 years as {{obsolete source}}^{[obsolete source]}, and missing sources as {{cn}}^{[citation needed]}.

Feel free to delete this message after ~ 1 July 2021 to keep this Talk page clean, unless an archive-worthy discussion arises.
