Where's the source for France? So far, according to all of the reports I have seen so far, the only Coalition country actually involved in ground operations is the US. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 11:54, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. ( non-admin closure) TonyBallioni ( talk) 19:03, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
Battle of Tabqa Dam (2017) → Battle of Tabqa (2017) – Half of Tabqa Dam and the airbase has already been captured by the SDF and Tabqa city is now besieged. "Battle of Tabqa" is a better name for the operation which includes the airbase, the dam, and the city. Editor abcdef ( talk) 07:09, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
battle for the entire regionthen why not name it so? Batternut ( talk) 09:11, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
The battle is not finished. There are still fights in the city. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marsupilami128 ( talk • contribs) 15:17, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
I really wonder how many so-called "sourced" info like this exists in the articles that are related to Syrian civil war. Don't you check the sources?! By the way, this user Hongon(probably a banned sock) also should be watched in order to prevent further disruptions. 185.3.166.35 ( talk) 18:50, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
I urge active editors on this topic like @ Applodion:,@ Editor abcdef: and others to control the sources which are added especially by ips and new accounts to prevent further misinformation and vandalism. 185.3.166.35 ( talk) 19:10, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
No, if you watch at the timeframe 27:50 (in the "Mattis, Dunford Host News Conference on Defeating ISIS" video that is) of the video in the citation you will see Dunford clearly talk about the battle of Tabqa where he says the SDF suffered 100 killed. A direct quote from Dunford "One of the preconditions for seizing Raqqa was the isolation of Raqqa which included just recently completed a very difficult fight in an area called Tabqa, and I think you are familiar with that, were the Syrian Democratic Forces actually had a hundered killed" // Hongon ( talk · contribs)
Just spent a long time writing an update to the January and March sections of this page only to lose it to an error. If anyone else feels like it, in addition to the NYT article here are sources for: January 14th near-dam bombing & projected fallout of the dam's collapse, further information on the saving of the dam & local fallout, and details on the March 27th drone strike and its misreporting here, here, and here. The BLU-109 bomb has its own wikipedia page, but Task Force 9 does not. The most informative section I can find on the site instead covers its Talon Anvil unit. Based on their similar behavior described here they may end up being connected to this. ok good luck have fun — VariousDeliciousCheeses ( talk) 18:30, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
