I deleted part of yesterday's (Oct 14) comment about limited success of SAA troops slow advance as the think tank used as source is directly under US influence and therefore not neutral enough. At the same token I would not recommend to use a source from a think-tank in Moscow or Riyadh either. Let's focus on what happens on the ground without being judgmental, whether the offensive has been slow or fast should be up to the individual reader to determine. 04:06, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
the Washington Institute is a very reliable source,it has major and reliable analyst,just saying "because that it is in the US so it can't be used" argument is not valid,we judge based on experience not political positions. Alhanuty ( talk) 22:58, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
RSN has repeatedly judged this topic, nothing has changed, if you want to dispute it, go talk to them, but it's been discussed 4(ish? IRRC) times, and is, for reasons I think should be obvious, not held to be even anywhere near a reliable source. 78.144.221.190 ( talk) 18:13, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
There is no RS in Syria - including official media, so people either have to compromise, about sources of events in Syria, or completely stop writing anything about this conflict on wiki (which is completely unreasnable). Rebell44 ( talk) 15:09, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
Agreed long ago to use SOHR as an RS since its considered an authoritative source by the RS media. EkoGraf ( talk) 00:00, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
Use of SOHR (essentially one man in Coventry sponsored by the Foreign Office) as a source makes a joke of this article - I don't think I'll bother to visit it again... Bougatsa42 ( talk) 04:41, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
The article uses this phrase for both naming the article and as the term to designate the subject as if this is a received name for this ongoing event. What is the basis fr this? Axxxion ( talk) 14:45, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
Rebels recaptured Sukayk (northern Hama) and Mansoura (Ghab plains) - there are rebel videos from both places in past 24 hours. Rebell44 ( talk) 16:59, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
the offensive also encompasses these two areas
216.165.203.112 ( talk) 19:02, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
Contrary to the news published in english(even by Iranian sources) Reza Khavari was not an IRGC General, Reza Khavari was an Afghan Hazara volunteer who was the commander of Liwa Fatemioyn(Fatemioyn Brigade), Iran state media referred to him as Sardar e Shahid which literally means Martyred commander but because title Sardar is also used by IRGC and LEF generals some Iranian and foreign media mistakenly came to believe that he is an IRGC general, below are the Persian articles that correctly identify him as an Afghan mujahedin commander and not an IRGC general Funeral of Reza Khavar commander of Fatemioyn Brigade
