Changed. Kami888 (talk) 00:27, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Yarmuk
Yarmuk should be marked as under a ceasefire again (violet). Ceasefire has been confirmed after an agreement was reached. P.S. This source says Jobar is government-held. Don't know if its correct. EkoGraf (talk) 11:43, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Qudsaya
There was at one point truce in Qudsaya, but it seems that it may have been broken:. Perhaps a small olive pocket there? Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 03:53, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Right, I forgot about that one. Kami888 (talk) 17:53, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

In Qudsaya the truce is not broken but there is a tense situation that brought to tightening control from SAA. It is not contested, no fighting are ongoing. It must return to be violet.Paolowalter (talk) 23:42, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
 * LVR's source is newer. Kami888 (talk) 15:10, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

I looked carefully and after some air attack around the 20th March no other fighting are reported. The most recent source is (I do not how reliable) that states that the city is under siege but not under attack. I'd put back to violet. Paolowalter (talk) 10:29, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Al Maliha
The city of Al Maliha should be marked as contested because in this city now are continuing clashes Syrian army vs rebels.sorcesource Hanibal911 (talk) 20:43, 3 April 2014 (UTC) The city of Al Maliha & Al Neshabieh should be marked as Red because SAA occupy these regions : http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13930115000268 — Preceding unsigned comment added by MZarif (talk • contribs) 14:20, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
 * The SOHR said rebels and regime troops were fighting in the town of Mleiha in the Eastern Ghouta area.NOW News Hanibal911 (talk) 17:02, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
 * There are claims from SyrPer that the city is under gov control, but no indipendent information.

Question: why the previous suggestions are not implemented in the map? Paolowalter (talk) 10:29, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

From Al Maliha is at least partially under government control. ht rest is probably contested. Paolowalter (talk) 10:29, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

== This whole setup has proven wrong. Since the map change (from dots to small maps) nobody is updating the "Syrian_civil_war_detailed_map". Now it looks like nothing is happening in those cities (Aleppo, Daraa, Damascus...). It used to have several updates per day, now nobody is updating those maps for months. If that is what was intended you have done great job. You should revert it back to old system (with dots)... ==

Question: Would you please change the type pf map to Dots for ease of change? MZarif (talk) 12:17, 9 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree. We can keep this template in the table below the map, but for the main map we need a format that allows for quick changes. The dots are easier to read and easier to change.213.204.101.17 (talk) 20:07, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Question: When this map got change to Dot map?Where can we see the changes happen these days which caused by recent SAA Operations in Aleppo And Dameshq?MZarif (talk) 19:49, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

I completely disagree... A "dot map" is not clear at all. And what is the interest for the map to be easier to change if their is actually nothing to change. The front lines almost don't evolve at all for months.... It will be more than sufficient if the map is updated once in three months for exemple.Oussj (talk) 12:39, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Barzeh
Barzeh under the control of the Syrian army this confirms a reliable source. Source said that the Mortar bombs struck the regime-held neighborhoods of Bab Touma, Tabbaleh and Barzeh, and the suburb of Jaramana, killing one person each in Tabbaleh and Jaramana, the Observatory added.The Daily Star Hanibal911 (talk) 06:50, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Are you sure you want to make that change? We know that Barzeh consists of several parts, some of which are definitely regime held, but in others we know there is a truce. There's a chance that neighborhoods with power-sharing arrangements will be referred to as "regime held" occasionally. Let's wait and see if other sources also treat it as such. Kami888 (talk) 22:02, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

From Qudsaya is under truce, not contested. Please turn it violet. Paolowalter (talk) 21:48, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I can't read any of that but I'll take your word for it. I'll change it in the next update. Kami888 (talk) 04:19, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Jobar
This needs verification if true, but pro-regime source shows Jobar surrounded and the road to its east as being controlled by regime. http://www.syrianperspective.com/2014/05/east-ghouta-offensive-updated-map.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.231.65.41 (talk) 06:39, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Mliha

 * Twitter? Kami888 (talk) 21:08, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Twitter is not sufficient in general as RS. Anyway there are also ("On Saturday, Assad’s forces entered in the rural town of Mleeha near the capital, Damascus, state-run television and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.") Also and, even if they fall short of claiming the take over of the city by SAA.

SAA declared officially the control of the city. Paolowalter (talk) 22:25, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

First, its the twitter account of the AL RAI Chief International Correspondent, who just yesterday had an interview with the BBC (so reliable). Second, if you would check the main civil war map, we have started using credible twitter reports for some time now (for months). Third, a non-twitter source confirming full capture.

Wadi Barada & Al-Shih
Do these two areas have to be in this smaller map anymore? They are both located on the larger map - one just changed color to red on the larger map but still is green here.

The conflict has been localized for a long while now, maybe it's a good idea to crop this map a bit and get rid of the two western corners of the map as one has become Al-Zabadani front (which no longer is connect to this map) and the other is part of the Northern Golan Offensive that happened to spread east on one single road to barely reach the edge of this map. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.224.15.164 (talk) 08:40, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Not sure about Wadi Barada, I think it's just outside the boundaries of this map. Khan al Shih is still rebel controlled AFAIK. Also I don't know if others would agree about downsizing the map. Kami888 (talk) 05:37, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Duma
By the recent activities of SAA in east Ghuta army carried out operations in Duma it seems to be consider this area as contested the news like this can be one of reasons: http://sana.sy/eng/337/2014/06/14/550097.htm "....Moreover, army units carried out operations in al-Shifounieh farms and Tal Kerdi in Douma, killing several non-Syrian terrorists, among them Abdul-Kader al-Rifai, a Jordanian, and the terrorists Jihad Mahrat and Muhannad Barghouth. ...."MZarif (talk) 15:37, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

"Kafar Batna and Jesrin "
both pro-opposition and pro-goverment sources declared heavy clashes and advance of army in "Kafar Batna" and "Jesrin ". but in the map it should change red at the western parts and "contested" in east of those areas. http://syriahr.com/index.php?option=com_news&nid=20158&Itemid=2&task=displaynews http://farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=13930319000663 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.178.214.113 (talk) 07:18, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Both sources appear to be talking about an artillery exchange targeting insurgents in the area. Google translate gave me this:
 * "in conjunction with the shelling by regime forces on the areas in Maliha and its surroundings, while two rockets landed, believed to be the type of land - land areas in farms town of Kafr Batna Balgoth East, also fell missile is believed to be of the type of land - land, fired by regime forces on the area in the City Duma".
 * So no, no clashes there yet. Kami888 (talk) 23:38, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Finally, I think the source you specified is considered pro-rebel and thus another reason why it's not sufficient by itself. Kami888 (talk) 16:31, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

 * The nortwest region (Wadi Barada) should stay green. There is no evidence of change of status.

From https://twitter.com/Isham_AlAssad/status/509145609023275008 appears that fighters are still inside. Probably there is a de facto truce, because figthing are reported very rarely. Nevertheless it is likely not under government control.Paolowalter (talk) 21:01, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Tadamon and Falesteen camp
Tadamon and Falesteen camp are marked as contested. As to Tadamon I have seen occasional attaks on it from SAA. So it is likely that there is a small rebel controlled area. As to Falesteen camp, I have never seen anything, probably it has the same status of Yarmouk, a truce in some sense. I guess it should be corrected. Paolowalter (talk) 21:14, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Northeastern Jobar

That is composed of: industrial area to the west, industrial area to the north with New Adra, farm clearing in the center and Adra West/East district to the east.

What is missing is:
 * - al Blaleyyi contested
 * - NW area in Wadi Barada valley green (it use to be so, it was changed without reason)
 * - Hajar Aswad green (who ever stated there is a truce?)
 * - Falestine camp is probably on truce like Yarmouk (neve heard of any clash)
 * - Green are in Jobar reduced according to https://twitter.com/PetoLucem/status/513035203799818241 and make the brown areas around Jobat west of the highway red
 * - Adra is now almost completely red (see discussion above)

See new Adra map https://twitter.com/PetoLucem/status/515899183807873025/photo/1. It should be followed to change this map. It incorporates all the changes reported in the last days: Adra Omalya, Adra al Balad, Tel Kurds etc.Paolowalter (talk) 17:03, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Additional report from pro-opp site syriadirect org /rss/1706-syria-direct-news-update-11-26-14 that Ein al-Fijeh has been under encirclement and assault for days.

Major World Newspapers and Sources like Al-Monitor and CNN and BBC and FOX would have then reported that,if it occurred,also authenic and authoritive source SOHR,refutes it,by stating further rebel advance,the map stays the same via http://syriahr.com/en/2014/12/3-fighters-at-least-killed-in-rif-dimashq-while-violent-clashes-erupts-in-ayn-al-dinar-region-in-homs/ .Alhanuty (talk) 01:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Your source is 1 day older than mine, so it is not a refutation. Also, it is just one neighborhood, do not expect any major news coverage. XJ-0461 v2 (talk) 02:37, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

NO,They would have reported,also this has a three year long stronghold,and SOHR which has been way more accurate,than Any Biased news outlet,like the biased Al-Masdar,reported rebel advance in it.Alhanuty (talk) 05:05, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Later, opposition Local Council of Darayya reported that the rebels reversed recent Syrian army gains in the city of Darayya.[www.syriadirect.org/rss/1740-syria-direct-news-update-12-10-14] So we have data only from pro-opposition sources so that let's find more data from more reliable sources. Also government source said that clashes still continue.Syria News Hanibal911 (talk) 08:05, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Do you realize how unintelligent you sound right now. I keep telling you that ANTI-ASSAD ARA NEWS reported that the SAA took Darayya, yet you continue to slam AL-MASDAR. Are you even reading at all? The report is a day newer than the SOHR report. If you want to worship SOHR, then do so by all means. But, we edit according to Wiki guild lines, and they say that news sources trump older ones. However, I am willing to wait for more reliable sources as Hanibal suggested, alright? XJ-0461 v2 (talk) 20:59, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

It was most likely a miss-quote by ARA. They probably ment the SAA captured some areas in Darayya, but hardly the whole town. Plus, there is the part where pro-government sources are reporting continuing fighting there. EkoGraf (talk) 06:03, 15 December 2014 (UTC) Some SAA advancement is claimed by pro-gov source but fighitng is ongoing. Usually a full takeover of Darayy would get some coverage. Nothing on twitter except the quoted source.Paolowalter (talk) 13:25, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
