Misleading editing
Nothing missleading about it. The 11,000 death toll, as per the cited source, is from the fight against ISIL. 544–1,586 death toll, as per the cited sources, is from the fight against the TFSA and Turkey. I acknowledge the SDF clashed with the SAA as well on occasion. However, at present, we do not have sources for the overall SDF death toll from that conflict. Its actually more missleading to just leave it as "11,600–12,586+ killed", which implies this is the full overall death toll which includes those who also died vs the SAA or Nusra in the early years of the war (for which we also do not have figures). As a compromise, we can add "Unknown killed (vs. al-Nusra, FSA & SAA)" for example, which would clearly relay to the readers that the overall SDF toll from the whole war still does not exist. I would also like to point out that saying another editor is making "severely misinforming" edits isn't in line with Wikipedia's policy on assuming good faith from your fellow editors. In the future, as per Wikipedia's policy, try discussing with your fellow editors any issue that you find needs clearing up. I hope this clears it all up and the compromise proposal is satisfactory. I see you are a new editor and I hope we will have constructive collaboration in the future. Welcome to Wikipedia! EkoGraf (talk) 16:40, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
- Appreciate the more defining wording here [1]. I never intended to have bad faith when leaving a message about it. To me and probably to everybody else, the previous state which it was in before the change above made it seem as if SDF didn't lose a single men to anybody except ISIS and TFSA, where as they might've lost more men two those compared to TFSA. Though since there isn't an exact figure I appreciate the current state it is in. I hope we can work we'll in the future together and you shouldn't feel attacked by user's warnings, they are not threatening just questioning. A4516416 (talk) 17:28, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
- Glad you find the current wording satisfactory and looking forward to working together. Cheers! :) EkoGraf (talk) 17:29, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give 2019 Rojava offensive a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Required notice related to Syrian Civil War articles
A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.
General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.October 2019

@ST47: :why did you block me for this [2]? It is not 1RR, it's not even a revert. I just removed content as per talk page discussion. A4516416 (talk) 07:48, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
- It is a revert of this edit and was at least your fourth revert within a couple of hours. ST47 (talk) 07:50, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
- @ST47: It is just content removal per discussion. That shouldn't count as a revert. See this [3] from yesterday. I've got pretty good sources and will keep adding good material to the article for the day if you unblock me. I wont violate 1RR from now on. A4516416 (talk) 07:54, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
- @ST47: ??? A4516416 (talk) 08:01, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
- @A4516416: I'd suggest re-reading WP:3RR very carefully (with "three" replaced with "one" as WP:1RR says). Again,
An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert.
The only exceptions are listed at WP:3RRNO, which does not include carrying out edits discussed on the talk page. — MarkH21 (talk) 08:04, 10 October 2019 (UTC) - (edit conflict) Which point of WP:NOT3RR do you believe allows you to revert SilentResident's edit here?

- Ok admit I was wrong there too, but can you unblock me since Vanilla didn't get a block either? I'll continue to add good material to the article as it comes. You've tought me a lesson on the details of this rule. A4516416 (talk) 08:13, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
