Attempt to present Israel as "involved" in the war

I must remind everyone that there is a broad consensus that neither Turkey, Israel, Jordan, Iraq or Lebanon are to be presented as "involved" on the map, no matter the political opinion of the editor. There is a broad consensus to this opinion at [1].Greyshark09 (talk) 16:44, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Editing the map in 20 steps

please can someone tell me how to edit this map. Alhanuty (talk) 15:03, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Yeah I can explain (I've been busy lately, sorry about that). Ok, this is kind of a long process to do. I guess I can list it.

Immediately, I open an incognito page on Google Chrome or inPrivate browsing on Internet Explorer. I paste the link of the template, so none of the links are purple, to keep consistency.

Step 1: Have paint.NET downloaded.

Step 2: Add a new layer to the image. (IMPORTANT: You must have both "Layer 2" and "Background" on)

Step 3: Have "Layer 2" selected and click F4 (or the little pencil on the tag symbol).

Step 4: Set the mode to "Difference".

Step 5: Screenshot the template page for the map.

Step 6: Paste it onto the paint.NET program and try to match up the boundaries, so they appear black.

Step 7: Do this until all of (in this case, Syria) is filled up. (LOOK AT THE IMAGE TO THE RIGHT)

At this point the map should look a little like this. (Go on to step 8)

Look at areas that are yellow (mainly around moved text) or other colors that are off color. Any circle that is not black and you can see, needs to be changed.

Step 8: Now it gets a little tricky. Read the description of second map for this step.

Step 9: You use the "Rectangle Select" tool, an next to the tool drop-down menu, click the image that has two shaded squares. Select all areas that are basically off-color. (When the insert map of the template is changed, just copy the map, it makes life SOO much easier.)

Step 10: Copy any areas you selected and paste them in layer "Background".

Step 11: Deselect "Layer 2"

Step 12-14: Select the "Magic Wand" in the toolbox. Go to where it says "Flood Mode" and change it to "Global". Change the Tolerance to 15-20% (I prefer 20%).

Step 15: Change the double square fill in to the fourth one (two squares intersecting, so only the middle square is highlighted)

Step 16: In areas that are white, click with the "Magic Wand" so only white areas appear.

Step 17: Shade in the rest of the map that is now white. (WARNING: The little white areas in the top left of Kurdish circles get selected, make sure you do not shade the!)

Step 18: After a few shade-ins, go to the "Magic Wand" and the middle square in the tool box (this is the "Subtraction", so only the top left portion of the first square is shaded) and deselect the gray ISIS, yellow Kurd, green anti-Assad, or red Government areas.

Step 19: After doing this see if there is anything else selected, before you click "enter" (which deselects the area you have selected)

Step 20: Delete "Layer 2", and save (make sure it is a .png)

So that is how I edit this map, every single time. I am currently doing the next update, as there is A LOT to change, so good luck with this. I do the same for the Iraq map.—SPESH531Other 19:47, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Disputed areas and Golan Heights

Considering recent edit-warring by user:SupremeDeliciousness over the implementation of the brown color for disputed areas (including Deir ez-Zor, Aleppo and Golan), i would like to point it to the source of this coloring at relevant discussion on English wikipedia, based on coloring issue of Golan Heights in Israel map and in Syrian Arab Republic maps (see [3],[4]). Supreme created another map with white color for the Golan named File:Syrian civil war 2.png, and hence i encourage him to label the white color there in a fashion he desires. (occupied, invaded, settled, or liberated - whatever). This map however should stay with brown color for disputed areas.Greyshark09 (talk) 20:58, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Rebel group made a map: note the border with Jordan, the eastern half is gov-controlled per pro-opp source. ChrissCh94 (talk) 15:08, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Should I use this as an update?

I constructed this map: File:Isil in syria.png from the source from scratch as my first upload. It doesn't look as good, though is higher resolution and uses more recent information. It also contains a new colour for the al-Nusra Front Should I use it as an update?

No, that map is totaly unusable. Some points:

1. The area of rebels in Eastern Qalamoun is larger and runs southwest towards Dumayr (local truce) and
2. Where are the rebel held cities north of Homs? Rastan, Talbisah, Houla? There's no green there for some murky reason...
3. IS connects its towns in eastern Hama with Raqqah through the desert, that way they bring in supplies to attack Shaer gas field
4. Why is there red near Saraqib in Idlib?! The regime has not had a foothold there since 2012. All that area is JN or FSA held.
5. Were are the rebel pockets in Qalamoun near Assal al-Ward and the Lebanese border?
6. In southern Syria: rebels connect Lajat with Busra al-Harir through a small corridor running northwards. You are showing Lajat as being besieged, which it is clearly not
7. Deir Abbas in Daraa: the area around the town is rebel held, since clashes are taking place at Tell Areed way north of the city. On your map it's almost cut off
8. In Qamishli the SAA area stretches to far to the east. Kurds control some parts of Qamishli itself, and the deviding line is just east of the city, not miles ahead

So a good try, but not good enough.

Ok, I believe I fixed all, working on making minor changes for appearance. In the meantime, updating using latest from https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/61/Syria_and_Iraq_2014-onward_War_map.png

Again, several points in southern Syria:

1. Nasib crossing in Daraa is besieged, so the area east of it should be green towards the green dot at the Jordanian border
2. The map notes Dilli as besieged by rebels, but the green does not touch the city like it does in other areas. Why?
3. Same goes for Kafr Shams and the town south of it
4. Same goes for the Himrit and Dayr Makir area
5. Why is the Lajat area in northeastern Daraa shrunken, when the regime has not advanced there?
6. Rebels control more land at the Israeli border: only near Hader is their SAA at the border

Sorry, I haven't been updating this map with the Syria and Iraq map, due to a slight problem. I notice and fixed it on the joint map. I'd imagine it came from a mistake thinking that the grey on the detailed map was black, which is why people are discussing a colour change on the detailed map.

The previous thread explains this is made from a module on Wikipedia. There are frequently plenty of sources used at the source module between every pair of updates.

Discrepancy

Why is there a discrepancy between this png and this one? Is al-Hawl surrounded by the YPG/YPJ or not? Monochrome Monitor (talk) 13:08, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Monochrome Monitor, the discrepancies can come in three ways:

1. The map has not been updated since a change on the module.
2. The map has accidental differences from the module (normally due to missing an area that changed)
3. The map was updated with deliberate differences to the module.

I don't believe DuckZz does the last one, so I imagine it's either an accident or as the module was on 27 August 2015, when the map was last updated. Banak (talk) 19:27, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Map biased

I am sorry to ascertain that this map is biased towards to Syrian Government / SAA. The map is inacurate in at least the following places:

• South of Aleppo: The highway between Khanissir and Ihtriyah has been cut off for 10 days now. IS also took all of the area east of Ithriyah.
• Palmyra: SAA is in 10km distance to Palmyra, yet this map shows SAA to be directly west of Palmyra.
• Hama/Idlib-Border: FSA/JaN made some progress, taking back Sukayk and Ma'rkabah.
• Directly South of Aleppo: JaN took Qarassi and Huwayz.
• South-east of Aleppo: IS took Jabbul.
• Salamiyah-Ithriyah-Highway: IS has approached the highway from the south and now is much closer to the highway than shown on this map, in particular in the area around Sheikh Helal.

See here for a more acurate map of the current ground control in Syria: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cities_and_towns_during_the_Syrian_Civil_War

Cheers, Schluppo (talk) 22:18, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Blimey, that's a fair bit of difference. Hopefully I'll get some time to keep ensure the map is up to date/accurate (haven't checked if difference is in bias or outdatedness, because I don't have no time) in the coming week Banak (talk) 18:03, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Colors used in the map

It's probably time to update the colors of the map, as the yellow background color used to depict areas under Kurdish control includes vast areas under Democratic Syria forces control, a new group consisting of Arabs and Kurds. These areas mostly in Raqqa and Aleppo Governorates should take a different color in my opinion, to differentiate between PYD-only occupied areas. Thanks.

Al-Nusra Front territory in Northern Idlib

Many maps from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) have frequently shown the Nusra Front of holding territory in northern Idlib province bordering Turkey. The cities and towns which would be affected by this would be Harem, al-Tulul and al-Alani. Here is the map, dated February 2016. This is another one dated around late May 2015 which appears fairly precise to the first and more recent one.

I don't know much about the ISW so I am not sure if there maps are an accurate representation of what is going on in Syria at the moment. However, I have noticed for awhile that al-Nusra is often shown as controlling these parts of Northern Idlib. Perhaps a discussion similar to this one has already been raised about incorporating ISW data in this map. In any case, just thought it would be worthwhile to bring it up. --Donenne (talk) 14:54, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Distinguish by factions in control rather than ethnicity

{{Edit request}} The purely ethnic distinction between "Kurds" and "Rebels" is factually incorrect, non-neutral and tends to further ethnic strife. Finally, we're distinguishing by power blocs, or factions in control rather than by ethnic or religious composition. The Federation of Northern Syria – Rojava is a pluriethnic region, so the color yellow should represent the Syrian Democratic Forces fully including the areas held by Jaysh al-Thuwar and other SDF members. --PanchoS (talk) 11:30, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

As a possible compromise, possibly even the best solution, the areas held by the YPG could remain being marked in yellow, while areas held by non-YPG components of the SDF would be hatched in yellow and green. --PanchoS (talk) 11:35, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

PanchoS I do not know much about the issues but I think I agree with you; however, {{Edit request}} should be used for text change, not graphics change. Please talk with authors of the graphics or create your own version. --Jarekt (talk) 02:25, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

@Jarekt: This may be true for photographs or such, but a constantly updated map that contains a number of fundamentally contestable interpretations and assertions, yet claims to be NPOV – such as this map –, basically constitutes something like a Wikipedia article, not just a fundamentally neutral file. Procedures that have been established for mere depictions, are quite obviously inadequate for this kind of content. Finally, we don't want to host bunches of POV forks, nor do I have an issue with a particular editor that the two of us could possibly solve. A COM:RFC might be the most reasonable way to solve this kind of issues, though it doesn't seem to be regularly used for content disputes. Your feedback would be welcome! --PanchoS (talk) 16:26, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

PanchoS, "bunches of POV forks" is the Commons answer to most POV type of disputes, because it shifts the discussion from Commons to wikipedia articles where it truly belongs. We assume that the best graphics will win, but is not ideal as it might create a lot of highly-POV files some need to choose from. May be the best approach here would be change file as you feel fit and upload under new name and use {{Edit request}} to request swap with the existing file, which should be quickly granted provided that there are no strong objections from other editors. Admins fulfilling {{Edit request}}s often do not have time/skills/software to modify or create files. BTW this file would be better as SVG. Oh and I just noticed that file is no longer protected, so anybody can edit it. --Jarekt (talk) 12:03, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

None. Iirc turkey is backing rebels with its forces but not occupying anything, but regardless this map hasn't been updated since then. Banak (talk) 07:51, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

How to update?

I'm looking to update this map, as it's quite outdated, but I have no idea how to do so. The previous instructions (from 2014) are no longer usable. How do I update this map? Nhauer (talk) 18:24, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
