Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Hi RamiPat. Thank you for your work on Maher Marwan. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

A good starting point for an important post-holder in Syria; in the news, and hence particularly relevant to include. It is appropriately marked as a stub, but the current contents are sourced.

Ahmad Al-Sharaa birth date.

Hello, In a recent interview with Al-Arabiya, Ahmad Al-Sharaa himself has told Al-Arabiya roporter that he was born on 29th October, not July. Since youtube URL's are blocked here I'm not sure how to link it to you, but you can find the video linked in my sandbox on the Arabic Wiki. Naturally the correct birth date has been modified in the Arabic Wiki. Since the page is protected, can you maybe modify it here too? Bakkouz (talk) 12:00, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the update, I have edited the article using an article from An-Nahar as the source since the YouTube video could not be used. Please consider adding the source to the Arabic Wikipedia article as well for better sourcing.

Hi RamiPat. Thank you for your work on Wu syndrome. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

A very rare condition. Each of the databases seems to lik this under a slightly different name, the unifying feature being the GRIA3 gene mutations. The page is currently a stub, but the set of conditions certainly exists.

Current syrian police in Aleppo and Damascus

Hi

Do you have sources about the force used as police? Panam2014 (talk) 23:40, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I do not currently have a solid understanding of who is who on the ground, so I'll just share with you what I have so far.

By looking at their uniforms, I assumed that they're all forces that used to work under the Syrian Salvation Government that were moved to work under the Ministry of Interior of the new central government in Damascus. With some having graduated recently after going through training after the fall of the Assad regime. As statements (made by the Syrian Ministry of Interior in the Transitional Government) announced starting the registration process to the police academy.

In a tweet rhat was posted with an example of a security forces' ID was titled

"Ministry of Defense

General Security Administration

Damascus Security Directorate"

But the logo on the ID had "Syrian Salvation Government" written on it.

The first graduates from the Salvation Government's police academy just graduated last August.

Photos from Syria

Hi

Is it possible to call Syrians to upload photos related about the fall of Assad regime (fall of Aleppo, Hama, Homs, Damascus, Deraa)? Panam2014 (talk) 14:25, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I will look into this, and ask some friends. But it can be a tricky one as most ordinary people would be hiding at home during such events, even the "day after" period can be stressful.

I'll do my best and tag you if I can get anything.

Official office of Sharaa

Hi

Do you have sources about the official office that he held? Also source about previous salvation government cabinet. Panam2014 (talk) 14:26, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I don't have that much knowledge about Joulani's positions prior to his current one at HTS. But in terms of "official office" I can be sure that he held none.

And currently, he's always referred to as "Leader of the New Syrian Administration" by the media.

For the Salvation Government's ministers, its official website has part in their "who are we?" page that lists the order of governments and their prime ministers, but it does not seem to include more details (such as names of each minister), but in searching the news (including on the website itself) I'm sure you can find the reports from the time of each government's formation and those should include details.

additionally, when you have a name, this website usually has basic info and past positions of a person, and people and entities associated with them.
