Talk:Syria

It is wrong to claim that the only Syrian opposition is ISIS and al-nusra
there are secular and multi religious opposition groups that operate against Assad and this purpurates the Syrian regimes propaganda about the Syrian opposition. This in the Current political situation 2011 to present of the article. Monochromemelo1 (talk) 13:16, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Wiki standards
English Wikipedia generally applies the transliteration and spelling standards developed by English-language scholars and academics. This is certainly the case with historical terms, while current terms may be spelled according to official policy in the respective country. The scholarly norms have evolved over time and are well founded.

The common academic name spelling in English requires the definite article (al, etc.) and "son of" (ibn) to be written small, unless it occurs at the beginning of a sentence. The article must be followed by a hyphen. Examples: I know some perceive it as irreverential, but it's not meant to be and it is the common practice. If administrative units (national governments, regional or municipal authorities) decree a different English spelling as normative, this concerns only the individual names to which the decrees apply, and the modern administrative units, not the historical or archaeological sites.
