Syria map

Just clarifying, is the only time the map can be edited when a well-known reliable source states "party X has taken control of villages A, B, C, D...", and not if the reliable source claims "party X claims to have taken control of villages A, B, C, D and most of blue province. Party Y launched a counterattack"? Because if the latter is allowed to be used to change control of villages in a province, I will happily revert all edits I made. If a widely respected source says "Party X took control over large parts of Aleppo and the surrounding towns", how is that supposed to be used to change control of villages? Can it be used to "confirm" Party X's claims? This needs to be clarified. TheNavigatrr (talk) 00:20, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

You already answered the above question on a different page, but if a news outlet such as the New York Times were to claim "the rebels now control all of Idlib Province and most of Aleppo Province", would that be grounds to change previously government-held villages around Nubl/Zahraa, Deir Hafir, as-Safira and immediately south of Aleppo city to rebel-held?

In regards to Aleppo Province, those changes would be WP:OR based on the NYT article alone. However, I found a source for as-Safira. Firestar464 (talk) 01:24, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
