WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article 2024 Manbij offensive, 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.

Oppose Turn the article about the 2016 offensive to "2016 Manbij offensive". This is a better form to have article naming convention. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:23, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@WikiCleanerMan: isn't the convention that the years are with brackets? I ask because I don't know. Beshogur (talk) 15:07, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, it is usually for articles on battles. Not articles titled offensive. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:33, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose and support "2016 Manbij offensive" as its convention MathAfrique (talk) 10:51, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: The oppose has policy-based arguments as opposed to the support comments. Relisting for more participants. Best, Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 12:41, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support a move to create a disambiguation, without strong feelings as to whether the year goes first or last. Clearly there is consensus to move at least Manbij offensive, and both proposed titles are going to be better than the current situation. If a closer picks the wrong option, the bikeshed can be discussed again later. CMD (talk) 14:55, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

West of the euphrates

The current text "This offensive held particular significance as Manbij represented the final Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)-controlled territory west of the Euphrates River" seems like it needs clarification. The SDF held Afrin Canton until the start of the current offensives, as well as Al-Thawrah. During the offensives the SDF captured other territory west of the Euphrates, so at no point was Manbij the only territory west of the river. CMD (talk) 12:21, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fighting is still happening in Manbij

Per the SOHR: "Meanwhile, sporadic clashes and tit-for-tat clashes are underway between “Manbij Military Council Forces” and factions of the “National Army” in the city’s neighbourhoods, amid growing military tension in the region, as the factions managed to take control of several neighbourhoods." The MMC is still fighting the SNA in the city. Des Vallee (talk) 23:56, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pyramids09: The source is here and is from December 10th. Des Vallee (talk) 00:07, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The city fighting seems to be over in a short period of time, regarding the region, there is a truce for SDF withdrawal from the city. 1. Mr.User200 (talk) 01:04, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SDF Claim

The SDF withdrew their troops on 11 December after five days of conflict following a US-brokered ceasefire agreement.

It is not right to write a claim made by the SDF in this way without verification by the US. It should be clearly stated that it is an SDF claim. 188.132.143.141 (talk) 23:19, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Map needs update?

Does SDF hold anything west of the river in Manbij vicinity? Perhaps map needs update. 212.156.71.30 (talk) 05:51, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It’s not turk sna victory

Brother, the offensive is not over currently the homeless and the Turk-SNA have been shooting at each other since go see the SDF Press site Bokak99 (talk) 17:33, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
