Civilian casualties and non combat military

[edit]

It's just wrong to list them in the losses on the coalition side. Civilians should be listed below, while non combat losses should just not be counted or listed below as they are not direct effects of the military confrontation. Also, IS does not operate any MiG aircraft. Controlling an air-frame is very different from using it. 600 tanks look really far fetched.

Add some conflicts

[edit]

Isn't the mali war and the xinjiang conflict part of this? Thehistorianisaac (talk) 14:00, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The lead section is confusing and doesn't follow WP:MoS.

[edit]

The lead sentence seems like it was copy pasted from another article. "Many states (which ones?) began (referencing a nonexistent time frame) to intervene against the Islamic State, (no definition/hint of what the Islamic State is) in both the Syrian Civil War and the War in Iraq (2013–2017), (is it part of another war or its own conflict?) in response to its (ambiguous pronoun: the many states? The Islamic state?) rapid territorial gains from its 2014 Northern Iraq offensives, universally (word to watch) condemned executions, human rights abuses and the fear of further spillovers of the Syrian Civil War. " The last part is just a run-on sentence, with the subject changing multiple times. I am going to work on rewriting this so it conforms with the manual of style. An uninformed 3rd party is just going to be even more confused reading it: I know I was. Any help would be appreciated.AtramentousAlabaster (talk) 17:48, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Map needs to be change in response to the overthrow of Assad’s government

[edit]

Of course, Syria is no longer under Assad’s rule, so this map needs to be changed accordingly Ulysses S. Grant III (talk) 03:13, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
