Talk:Battle of the Shaer gas field (October–November 2014)

Name
I think this should be moved to ISIS offensive in Jabal Sha'ar because the clashes are not taking place over the gas field only. It's apparently a full-scale offensive. - ☣Tourbillon A ? 07:57, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Would wait a day or two to see if the offensive outside the gas field keeps up or what happened today was only temporary. However, if it does expand than yes the name should be changed, but I think the title you proposed is not a common one. EkoGraf (talk) 08:17, 1 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it's just a proposal, and fighting might engulf a larger area anyway. My thought was that it probably won't be limited to the Sha'ar gas field only. - ☣Tourbillon A ? 08:26, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Al-Masdar News Agancy Reliability
Al-Masdar is not a reliable source as its news are tremendously biased to Syrian and Iraqi governments. A quick search in Al-Masdar news archive shows how void and invalid are the news presented by it. If any subject is to be added in the main article based on Al-Masdar news, additional reliable sources should be taken into account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.177.100.254 (talk) 08:49, 4 November 2014 (UTC) It cites the dead names; progoverment, antigoverment. Do you think this is unreliable. They even have more information on the field than SANA, Syrper and SOHR. Who are indeed propaganda tools of those fighting there.200.48.214.19 (talk) 13:12, 4 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Al-Masdar is quite possibly the most up-to-date, reliable and detailed source on government operations - removing it would be a huge loss to the informational value of Wikipedia articles on the subject. Just because it has a pro-government bias doesn't mean shit - SOHR is staunchly pro-Sunni and pro-rebel (and at times, much less accurate and detailed), but we keep using it because it does have reliability despite its allegiance. - ☣Tourbillon A ? 14:05, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Detonated?
Reports coming in that Daesh has detonated the gas field. Haven't yet found any WP:V sources yet. 4.4 magnitude quake detected in the field at the same time - link

Does anyone have anything WP:V on this? -- Rei (talk) 17:39, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
