Talk:Hezbollah involvement in the Syrian civil war

Merge
Propose to merge April 2015 al-Qalamoun incident -> Hezbollah involvement in the Syrian Civil War The article is ridiculously small and is not evidently passing WP:NOTABLE criteria - we have only sources from the days of the event, indicating WP:NOTNEWS is relevant.GreyShark (dibra) 05:20, 4 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose. While the article should optimally be expanded, it basically covers the event based on reliable sources. The incident was indeed notable and has been covered by international media, not restricted to news reports, but also including commentary from highly relevant sources such as al-Jazeera, The Economist, and the NZZ. Finally, the fact that Israel outright denies any involvement doesn't affect its noteworthiness, at least not negatively. --PanchoS (talk) 11:21, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
 * all sources are from the date of the event, making it eligible for WP:NOTNEWS.GreyShark (dibra) 18:06, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Merge
Propose to merge April 2017 Rif Dimashq airstrike -> Hezbollah involvement in the Syrian Civil War per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NOTABLE - all sources are from 27 April 2017 and the article is just one paragraph long, doubtfully ever to be developed beyond that.GreyShark (dibra) 20:50, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Hezbollah involvement in the Syrian Civil War
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Hezbollah involvement in the Syrian Civil War's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "AJ": From Aref Dalila:  From April 2017 Rif Dimashq airstrike:  From Abdulbaset Sieda:  From 2015 Beirut bombings:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 19:11, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Another atrocious Wikipedia article
Where to begin...the entire article is a great example of the Wikipedia model's shortcomings. Poorly written and referenced with a pro-Western bias, a rather common state of affairs at Wikipedia. It also uses at least one non-reliable source to prop up a dubious claim. If someone wants to try fixing it, good luck to you. The tenacity of the trolls and propagandists who stink up political Wikipedia make efforts to maintain a NPOV thankless and, unless you have unlimited time on your hands and no life, ultimately futile.User2346 (talk) 11:04, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
