Do you have any proof of what you claim (that NDF is headed by army officers)?--HCPUNXKID 23:32, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

The NDF has offices in government-controlled cities across Syria. Residents say many have training centers run by Syrian officers. in the link i provided on the talk pageLugnuthemvar (talk) 00:10, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Iraq War edits

Hi, I think the deletion you have done on the Iraq War page is quite reasonable. However, I would draw your attention to WP:3RR, the 3 revert rule which says no one can revert an edit three times in 24 hours. Whether you agree with this rule or not, it is likely to be used to get you blocked, so I suggest you are mindful of the reversions you do, and engage in discussion of the issues on the talk pages. If you put up arguments there no one is allowed to take them down, and a rational argument will usually win out in the end. Keep up the good work. Djapa Owen (talk) 04:52, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

MOD and non-MOD armed forces

I had a long discussion with the senior Russian expert and Editor of the Military Balance back on the subject of Russian services at the IISS in 2001. I asked him why, for example, a bunch of the militarised forces, organised on military lines and armed, were not listed in the Military Balance. He said they had to draw the line somewhere, and the line they drew was MOD/non MOD armed forces. We write here at Misplaced Pages for the generalist, not the specialist, and we would not be adding the FBI's HRT or the CIA's SAD to the list of military special forces units. For that reason I believe we should stick to MOD armed forces for Russia on the SF page. Even if so, in any case, until you add a citation specifically saying the FSB units are legally armed forces, no doubt they may be removed as unreferenced (WP:BURDEN) given the culling that has occurred for lack of references on that page. Buckshot06 (talk) 09:59, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

The IISS's rule has not changed, whether in 2001 or today. To be honest, I'd take that over a vague rule over some chat over the internet. Also, do not remove citation needed tags - that's against policy. You will face sanctions if you do so again. The only thing that one is allowed to do in that case is to provide a citation. I am determined to clean up that page, and I have User:Nick-D's support. You're quite free to help, but you must follow wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Buckshot06 (talk) 10:11, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
Yes, I agree with Buckshot's approach, and other editors have made similar clean ups in the past. I'd be happy to discuss the grounds for inclusion/exclusion of different units on the article's talk page though, of course. Reggards, Nick-D (talk) 10:19, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
We need to stick to the page title. Of course, other pages can always be created, as you will see with the list of subsidiary pages under the intro text. The page title defines the subject, and that subject needs to be support with reliable sources, including citations. Buckshot06 (talk) 10:35, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

  • If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
  • If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Misplaced Pages's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Not really freaking-out, just frustrated that you don't understand how Misplaced Pages works. Did you read ENGVAR and NOTUSA?

Your behavior

First, the two sources cited in the military casualties section made no mention of 29 dead. Second, calling me a smartmouth is a violation of Misplaced Pages policy on civility and assuming good faith.
