Moved page

[edit]

Hi! I've moved your article back to your userspace at User:Zaphany101/Impact of Attacks in Syria, as it's not really ready to be moved live yet. It needs more sourcing to help back up claims and to better summarize the points in the section. The sourcing should back up the claims explicitly - if there's anything in the content that isn't stated in the source material then we'll need to find sourcing that does make this point or remove the content.

An example of what I mean by something needing to state the claim explicitly would be something like this: A source states that John Smith has written a fictional story about a school for magicians. We can use that to say that he's written a story, but we can't use it to back up something like "Smith was influenced by J.K. Rowling", as it isn't in the source material. We would need a reliable source that makes this point before we could include that in the article. We can only summarize what others have already written.

Also, remember that as we can link to other articles, there's not a huge amount of need to explain things like the definition of refugees - we can link to the article for this instead. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:52, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
