Talk:Battle of Ramadi (2014–2015)

Why is there no map?
A map of where this city is located is pretty much essential, can someone add it?142.161.97.237 (talk) 04:19, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Agree that a map of the city and its environs would be a big upgrade for the article. Jus  da  fax   15:26, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Tactical use of truck bombs
I don't know if it adds anything to the story or not, but it seems that this article outlines some key differences in the use of improvised explosive vehicle borne devices. They were used tactically with coordination of other assaults on the city. They were also of an unusually large size and sophisitication. Again, I don't know if it's appropriate to add to the story, but does seem somewhat important or new. http://news.yahoo.com/truck-bombs-islamic-states-air-force-222500105.html  (the original source is in french, which i don't speak)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.49.6.225 (talk) 08:41, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

My English sucks, but...
In the Article:

On November 27, 2015 Iraqi forces have cut ISIL's last supply line into the city of Ramadi by seizing a key bridge, Iraqi officials and a military officer On 26 November.[111]

This is no real sentence too or? I mean the end, it is written strange and makes no sense... they told it on 26 November and it happened on 27 November? Do they have a time machine? xD Greetings Kilon22 (talk) 14:02, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

split into 2nd battle of Ramadi?
Should we split it into two pages, one for the first one and another for the current one? Emigdioofmiami (talk) 22:05, 22 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Support per . Too much has happened since may that it needs another article. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:40, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose 300 Isis fighters wont give a fight for more than a week.Mr.User200 (talk) 13:08, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * This is WP:CRYSTAL unless you can provide a source saying so. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:21, 23 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Support major battle could take weeks... Sukhoi 24 (talk) 14:10, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Support, clearly different events. — Nightstallion 14:25, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Support. As Nightstallion noted, that these are different events is just obvious.Aldux (talk) 16:38, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Support Separate event, separate battle, separate article. EkoGraf (talk) 19:05, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Support See, for example, Battle of Dunkirk v. Siege of Dunkirk (1944) JaneStillman (talk) 11:10, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Support It is a wholly separate event, differently from the battle of Aleppo. --Mach1988 (talk) 15:08, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Support, Ramadi is a key city. Also I would recommend a map that shows areas of control. I'm pretty sure more information could be added as well to be honest.--Arbutus the tree (talk) 20:07, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Support This is the turning point of possibly the entire war for Iraq, and deserves its own page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.228.135.189 (talk) 23:24, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I think there is a consensus here. Can this split be implemented? The sooner the better in my opinion, as many people will be looking to Wikipedia for information about this ongoing and important battle. --Philpill691 (talk) 23:40, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I've gone ahead and created a second page under Battle of Ramadi (2015–Present). we'll need to do some fixing to make it more in flow with this wiki's standards a bit. edit away. Emigdioofmiami (talk) 02:24, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

The result of the Battle
Well, excuse me for asking, but " American crusaders" ? "Apostates" ? "Caliphate Forces" ? Did an ISIL fan rewrite this article ?
