Thank you
Thank you for the new map. This larger map makes more sense as to how things progressed. [March 8, 2014]

Legend additions
Very nice map!

The legend could be augmented to explain what the "triangles" signify. Are they checkpoints? Also, it would help if there was horizontal bar, perhaps in the lower left area, indicating scale in kilometers. Hulahoop122 (talk) 23:52, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * From what I gather, the brown triangles are local peak points/heights. It's actually kind of useful since local heights are frequently the points of contention between the regime and opposition. Kami888 (talk) 00:38, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

What does the gray area mean? No control, Islamist control or something else? --109.60.127.225 (talk) 13:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The grey/black area means ISIS control. Just like on the Template:Syrian civil war detailed map. Esn (talk) 03:58, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Ramousah, Jdeydeh and Ashrafiyeh
Per a new pro-opposition map Ramousah and Jdeydeh districts are firmly in government hands, please change them to red. Also, here is one more map, based on opposition sources, per which Ramousah and Jdeydeh are government-held, as well as Ashrafiyeh. So please change Ashrafiyeh to red too please. EkoGraf (talk) 10:59, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I am not sure about Jdeydeh because I don't know the precise borders of the district and both maps show rebel presence around that area. Only one of the maps confirms Ashrafiyeh and that one is just a very bad source all around for our purposes (clearly very abstract and inaccurate), the other shows it as mostly YPG. Both however appear to confirm that the ring road and everything south of it is under government control, so I'll make the change based on that. Kami888 (talk) 14:22, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * They also both show the majority of Salah-ad-din and Saif al-Doula as government held. I am not sure if the map should be changed to reflect that. Kami888 (talk) 14:37, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't understand how its a very bad source? Its HRW relaying what the opposition said. Also, BOTH maps confirm Jdeydeh is government held and there has been no fighting reported in that Christian district for almost a year and a half. EkoGraf (talk) 15:41, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * It's bad because it's verifiably wrong about the control of many districts. Anyway, if Ashrafiyeh and Jdeydeh change on the Aleppo battle map and stay that way, I'll make sure to change them here too. Sounds good? Kami888 (talk) 19:02, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Jdeydeh has changed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Battle_of_Aleppo_map.svg please update the map as well. Also most part of Salaheddine. Furthermore al-Aziza and al-Maamel went red Paolowalter (talk) 22:54, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Sheikh Najjar
Sheikh Najjar half red per maps posted by sources close to both sides of the conflict Pro-Government Pro-rebel The region of sheykh Najjar should be marked ad conflict area: http://www.almanar.com.lb/english/adetails.php?fromval=1&cid=23&frid=23&eid=144098 MZarif (talk) 14:38, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Aleppo Map
The aleppo map should be edited in my opinion according to this sources. http://pydrojava.net/eng/index.php/news/157-liwaa-jabhat-al-akrad-liberated-3-regions-in-aleppo

And this videos are proof that Jabhat al akrad are present even in Hayderiye http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQLyKW-KVSQ

Also i wonder is it still clashes going on in Eshrefiyeh or do we simply not know if YPG succeded to defend it or if SAA captured it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by KurdishFalcon (talk • contribs) 22:03, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

New AC map
The map should be updated marking government controlled the areas marked as such by the new AC map: https://twitter.com/CdricLabrousse/status/454351857402396672/photo/1 --Paolowalter (talk) 08:06, 11 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I am not really seeing any gains by SAA relative to the current map, this map just has larger areas marked as contested due to frequently shifting frontlines and disagreements between pro-government and anti-government mappers. For example, it's probably better to keep the entire Sheikh Najjar district as contested for now rather than trying to draw a more precise frontline, because there is no consensus on where exactly that frontline is within the district, and it is still subject to frequent change. Let's try to draw precise frontlines only when we actually know with decent certainty where they are exactly, and when they're not changing on almost daily basis. Kami888 (talk)
 * In general terms I agree with you. Nevertheless it is a phylosophy different from what is used in the main page of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Syrian_civil_war_detailed_map. Fro this particular case, you can see a large stretch of government controlled area reacing Khan al-Asal and that is a major shift. Also the northern part of Bustan al.Qasr are clearly controlled by the government. Otherwise if you are too conservative, you risk of having an obsolete map, like the one of Battle of Aleppo.79.41.102.144 (talk) 19:48, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Well you bring up interesting points, but I still think being conservative is better than rushing and having edit wars over minor advances. If you feel strongly the other way, I'm not stopping you from editing the map yourself, you know. :) As for the "large stretch of government controlled area reacing Khan al-Asal" and "the northern part of Bustan al.Qasr", here's a pro-government map that actually shows those areas as rebel held. So go figure, eh? 98.231.43.200 (talk) 18:55, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

https://www.facebook.com/syriahroe/posts/512581522183524?stream_ref=10 indicates that the SAA is present in A’ndan. This town should be contested in some way.Paolowalter (talk) 16:58, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * No. Kami888 (talk)

This map is fine until a major shift occurs, or a sustainable advance. Every time someone 'launches an attack' is not enough to just shift fronts. Thanks admin — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.127.127.203 (talk) 08:44, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Recent changes

 * Arqoub was already shown as government held, there was a rebel incursion since the last update. I'm also not entirely sure where Bani Zaid is though. I just made northern Rasafa region green for now but the matter should be settled on the "Battle of Aleppo" talk page, I'll copy whatever decision is made there. Kami888 (talk) 04:12, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Bani Zaid according to wikimapia is visible, the northern part of the area on the west of Sheick Maqsood. In the Battle of Aleppo it is apparently used as a synonim of Rasafeh, that is apparently larger. Rebel control is sure on the northern part, not clear the situation in the southern part. Paolowalter (talk) 19:38, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Army offensive in Aleppo
Army launched a major offensive in Aleppo. The Syrian army broke siege of the central prison of the city Aleppo. Also troops blocked all supply channels rebels in the eastern part of Aleppo.Arab Chronicle Also Hezbollah, Syrian troops and Iraq'i shia militias advancing toward Owaija, north to Aleppo, closer to the main northern access. This confirms the pro opposition source.Arab ChronicleArab Chronicle Hanibal911 (talk) 19:40, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
 * We had a source that said that the army had made it to the Kindi Hospital. Wouldn't that mean the army is already in Owaija? Based on the information you presented, a northeaster section of the Aleppo city map [Eastern Hanano, ARd Al-Hamra, and northern Owaija] needs to be turned red.Dr Marmilade (talk) 20:01, 4 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I read the text on the map Hanibal911 links. Arab Chronicle It is labeled as depicting a "Regime Long-Term Strategy Possibility." The red arrows depict "Loyalists main goals and possible new strategic initiatives."  So, nobody is saying that the regime has made those advances.  They are just speculating that these may be regime goals.  So, no, this Arab Chronicles map does not tell anything about the facts currently present on the ground or make any predictions that the regime will achieve these goals.  All it does is say "hey, maybe this is what the regime is trying to do."  I agree.  That probably is what the regime is trying to do.  And the rebels would probably like to cut off the regime's supply lines to the West, but neither of them has accomplished those goals and plans and speculations about their intentions do not belong on this map.

It is a good idea not to change the map over the weekend (most consistent followers of the post know the situation at the prison itself now) to see what will happen by maybe Monday so we have defined lines instead of large land with contested areas and a mere red road leading to the prison. This is especially that the first sector of the industrial city is totally under SAA and the second one to its north is almost under total control as well. Also, Jbeileh can be seen as totally destroyed in new photos and videos (was militants hold adjacent-west of the prison's western gate but they lost it). There are no close-by areas of interest around those two areas so let's give the weekend time maybe it will get clearer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.127.127.203 (talk) 01:38, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

I don't agree with the precedent comment stating that we have to wait the weekend to see 'what happen' before making changes. It is already known that SAA captured the prison, the sources are there and the map have to be modified accordingly. I didn't know that someone can decide when the changes are made... Hasan Rizvanbegovic (talk) 14:31, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

The AC map shows large part of Sheick Najar under SAA control. The town next to the prison Jbeileh is also under SAA control. The map should reflect at least the opposition SAA controlled areas. Paolowalter (talk) 21:27, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Kallaseh
Pro opposition source said that rebels of al-Mujahideen Army targeted military bases of the pro-Assad forces in Kallaseh neighbourhood in the city of Aleppo, using heavy artillery. al-Mujahideen Army fighters targeted gatherings of the pro-regime forces in the Fire Department in Kallaseh neighbourhood.source Hanibal911 (talk) 10:56, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

From SOHR https://www.facebook.com/syriahroe/posts/564364013671941 fightings in Khan Tuma are reported. The town is in the bottom left part of the map and should go brown.

Pro-government twitter (twitter.com/ResistanceER/status/496331592735137794 and https://twitter.com/ResistanceER/status/496331592735137794) reports that Khan Touman, Wadihi, Dar al-Shifa and Saqlaya have been taken. Map needs to be updated. Paolowalter (talk) 17:04, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Could you find a neutral source on Khan Touman being taken? Kami888 (talk) 19:52, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

I found the following from pro-opp source www.syriadirect .org/rss/1481-syria-direct-news-update-8-6-2014. Many from pro-gov sites. Paolowalter (talk) 21:16, 7 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I am confused by this source [www.syriadirect.org/rss/1481-syria-direct-news-update-8-6-2014]. First of all it's talking about fighting at an air base near Khan Touman, not at the city itself. Second of all - there's a AIR BASE near Khan Touman??!!? This requires an explanation before I know what to change. 173.63.234.121 (talk) 01:34, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

It is likely to refer to the ammunition depot next to the city http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=36.116938&lon=37.051048&z=14&m=b&tag=516 and/or to the military installation on its east side (on the map as well). Paolowalter (talk) 08:13, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah I figured, but like you said there's three different bases - we don't know which one they're talking about. So according to the article, the regime took "the base" - then the rebels recaptured part of "the base", so the current situation is unclear, and we don't even know which base that was! Yeah I pass on trying to understand that. :P Kami888 (talk) 02:17, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

A moderate source says the Army captured three villages west of Aleppo after rebel infighting and SOHR  said two hills were also captured a week ago (may be the two that the rebels captured at that time when the Republican Guard general was killed). Also, the Khan Touman area needs to be, at the very least, marked as contested. EkoGraf (talk) 18:46, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Haydaryah district
On the west, the rebels made a push last week to capture the city’s military academy, the major government-held installation in the city’s western quadrant. But attack, however, ended in catastrophe, exposing the rebels to repeated attacks from the air, even at night, that made it impossible to move men and weapons freely. Also government already controls, the industrial zone and the all Haydariyeh district in the city’s northeast. Ledger-EnquirerCharlotte ObserverThe TelegraphSun HeraldVC StarMcClatchly DCIdaho StatesmanMiami Herald Also the same source states that Haidariah is government controlled. The area where fighting is going mentioned in the source on is likely to be that between Hanano and Owaja.here Because reliable source said that government already controls, the industrial zone and the al Haidariah district in the city’s northeast but rebels are battling to keep government forces from taking the area between two zones which the government already controls.sourcesource
 * Also pro opposition source Ara News reports that SAA control part of Kalasseh neighborood, that is shown full green in the map. It must become at least partially red. This info fits with the map that provides a picture quite different from the one from this map. This map also noted that not all the Bustan al Qasr neighborood  under control by rebels. But SOHR Also said that clashes took place between the two sides in Bustan al-Qasr.SOHR So you can update the map according to data which I  provided to you! Hanibal911 (talk) 14:16, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'll update Khan Touman to contested, increase the contested area of Bustan al-Qasr/Kalasseh (although it is already shown as partly contested), but I have no idea what to do with Haidariah though. Kami888 (talk) 04:18, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

SAA advances in Handarat and al-Mallah
A pro-government source reported the SAA captured the al-Mallah area here  while SOHR  and neutral Elijah J.Magnier  reported the SAA advanced into it. So at the very least it should be marked as contested while the Mazra'a Halabi area to the east of it should be marked as SAA-held. Further credence to the capture of Mazra'a Halabi can be found in today's report that the area east of al-Mallah has been captured by the SAA. Also, neutral source Elijah J.Magnier reported the SAA captured the south and west of the Handarat city district. Please make these updates along with the earlier SOHR confirmation of the capture of the Breij area. Thank you! EkoGraf (talk) 15:45, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

For a few weeks now, there seems to be a reluctance from pro-opposition sources in regards to confirming any new contol by the SAA in the Alepo area since the talks of a possible Aleppo truce.

The rules of the map: We are waiting on some terrorist to come out and say yes the SAA reached so and so area. 4 years into the conflict, and still; no amount of pro-Government sources is legitimate enough to cause change on their own without the concession of the opposite side.

Map update June 2015
Dear users,

In the past few weeks, a lot has been happening around Aleppo city. This map, in it's current form, is obsolete. These should be the changed made:


 * Bashkoy (north of Aleppo) should be contested, with the northwestern perimeter of the village rebel-held
 * Rashideen district on the western edge of Aleppo should be rebel controlled
 * The Military Research Centre should be contested, as well as the area between Rashideen and New-Aleppo/Hamidiyah
 * Khaliday district in northern Aleppo (the northern half at least) should be contested, areas around the Layramoun Roundabout should be rebel-held/
 * Syrian army contested presence northwest of Anadan/Kafr Hamra should be shrunken, as rebels are pushing against both Al-Zahraa and Khaldiyah districts in recent weeks

 * Yea, this needs further editing, Umm Arkilah is SAA held, and they're on the outskirts of Tall al Ahmar. Source. Which indicates that the lines look something akin to this. MesmerMe (talk) 21:58, 10 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I didn't see many reports about SAA holding Al Halabiyah and Dakwanah. For example, this pro-gov source claims Dakwanah has been captured, but Al Halabiyah is still mapped as under IS. --Hogg 22 (talk) 07:39, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * You're likely right. I simply used the statement already presented by the current map and focussed moreso on the capture of Umm Arkilah.MesmerMe (talk) 08:54, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

More edits need to be made by the editor. Umm Arkilah seems to be contested, together with Qutibyah. Judayah seems to be captured however. http://www.almasdarnews.com/article/breaking-cheetah-forces-capture-another-village-near-the-kuweires-airbase-in-east-aleppo/ MesmerMe (talk) 17:50, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Sheikh Ahmed Train Station
From SOHR the Sheikh Ahmed Train Station is taken by SAA .Paolowalter (talk) 22:01, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

South of air base
Several point south of the air base taken by SAA as visible in the main map.This map should be updated.Paolowalter (talk) 21:40, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Khan Touman
Town Kalidiah west of Khan Touman taken by SAA reaching the motor way. Please update the mapPaolowalter (talk) 17:12, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Cropping the map (Kweires)?
Could we crop the map so it doesn't include Kweires? The map doesn't have any names in this area so it's really not very useful. I believe Template:Syrian Civil War detailed map would look better with dots instead of image in this part. --Hogg 22 (talk) 10:47, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

I agree. In any case this area is not updated with the due timing. It forced the main map to put dots on the map to follow the development on the ground.Paolowalter (talk) 16:19, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Sayf al-Dawla District
SOHR said Sayf al-Dawla District under control of SAA.here Sûriyeya (talk) 15:08, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, could you please update the Kuweires part of the map? The frontline appears to be shifting again. You can refer to the dots on the Syrian Civil War module for more details (and then there are always the other sources you have access to on the web). Thanks.

Al-Kalariyah
Al-Kalariyah SW of Rashidin taken by SAA .Paolowalter (talk) 07:51, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Yes, Kalariyah is under SAA control. Also, Al-Rashedein is all contested. In the south west corner of the detailed map, everything east of the hwy should be red except AlRashedin; contested. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.125.37.45 (talk) 01:13, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Sheikh Maqsoud
The SDF/YPG has captured the entire Sheikh Masqoud neighborhood, along with the portion of the Castillo road bordering the north of the district, so this map needs to be updated. (See .) Also, the east Aleppo part of this map is outdated. LightandDark2000 (talk) 14:46, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

Full source
For my last, the full source, since it has been cut a little bit: http://www.theworldweekly.com/reader/view/newswire/2016-05-16/intensified-shelling-hits-besieged-town-near-damascus/7897 --Ermanarich 20:52, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Technical issue
The versioning system currently appears broken both on this map and on Rif_Damashq (and probably many others). You can upload new versions, but the "current version" will continue to point to 20160731021131, presumably the last one before the versioning system broke. Someone needs to contact tech support to get this resolved if they aren't working on it already. Kami888 (talk) 00:45, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Looks like they fixed it. Kami888 (talk) 06:35, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Sadkop factory
Should we update it based on maps? I think we don't use maps on articles, so I guessed we shouldn't use them for the maps on Wikipedia.--Andres arg (talk) 01:17, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Shuqayf youth housing and Babinnis (s. of infrantry college, n aleppo countryside)
Those 2 places should be added as contested because those 2 places are not clear. Some maps shows YPG in Shuqayf youth housing while pro government maps as SAA. Same in Babinnis, ISIL and SAA. Beshogur (talk) 19:45, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Animation of the map
Could someone with better video-editing abilities than me create a video of the map as the battle progressed over time? It could be as simple as all the static images of the map in sequence, with a blending animation between each to stitch them together. Dan Wang (talk) 07:51, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Areas.
Only Ash-Shaykh Maksud is controlled by kurdish militiants, not Bustan al-Basha and Ash-Shaykh Khidr. SAA liberated Bustan al-Basha church and one quarter in October and rest of district with Ash-Shaykh Khidr in great December battle. Al-Bab Plateau villages are SAA held since early February and Suk al-Jibis near Ar-Rashidin is under SAA control since today (source - AMN). And Ash-Shukayf Housing is not clear. Some maps have it under SAA and other under YPG militiants. Warszawiak22 (talk) 11:29, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Updated needed for East Aleppo area
Can someone please update this map? The Syrian Army has completely captured all the areas from Kuweires Airbase to Lake Assad, including Dayr Hafir city. This means that ISIL no longer controls any of the territory shown on this map. LightandDark2000 (talk) 10:57, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Sheik Maqsoud Pocket to SAA
Can you make Sheik Maqsoud Pocket red now? YPG has left Sheik Maqsoud, and handed over control to the government. https://anfenglishmobile.com/news/ypg-statement-on-aleppo-25083 - Official YPG statement confirming this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheMapLurker (talk • contribs) 19:07, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
