Frequently asked questions
To view an answer, click the [show] link to the right of the question. To view references used by an answer, you must also click the [show] for references at the bottom of the FAQ. Q1: Why is this article titled in lowercase, as opposed to
Syrian Civil War (which redirects to this article)?
A1:
Wikipedia policy on article titles is to use sentence case unless a preponderance of reliable sources treats the subject as a proper name. While this policy can lead to inconsistent titles (e.g. compare this article's title with
Russian Civil War), community consensus (confirmed most recently
here for this article) is that following the treatment by reliable sources takes precedence over in-Wikipedia title consistency. |

The whole article needs a rewrite, it for example lists allied forces as bellingerents. And it's locked so that nobody can actually do anything to deal with its problems.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.78.207.102 ( talk) 07:02, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

The map in the infobox is sourced to Suriyakmaps, which is basically some X account. This fails WP:SPS, and the map should probably be removed. Firestar464 ( talk) 08:22, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
ISW still shows these areas as under Israeli control, citing two separate sources would possibly create SYNTH issues. Before switching to ISW, some editors were calling for the removal of the map for using synthesis so I have to stick with a single source.
Why are all the Syrian Civil War maps being removed from their articles, I see the issue with Suriyak, but Suriyak is not the only one who covered these events, you have other users like Syriancivilwarmap, Deir Ez Zor 24, and so forth who covered these events, re-referencing the maps is the solution here, not removing them.

Editors: an RSN discussion on the reliability of SuriyakMaps as a source for Wikipedia maps has been opened at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#SuriyakMaps on Twitter. SaintPaulOfTarsus ( talk) 23:59, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
Í feel like the belligerents should be added back to the article. Í know there is a seperate article, but í feel like a war article needs a list of belligerents. Blackmamba31248 ( talk) 02:23, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

The arabic version of "Syrian civil war" in the beginning and its romanization is kind of redundant, no? It quite literally is "Syrian civil war" in Arabic, so I don't really see the point of it. Shouldn't it be removed?
Just a suggestion :P Pingy/ Pongy 22:26, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
