Repeated RfCs (e.g. [1] have concluded that Al-Masdar cannot be used without attribution in the text as a sole source for controversial claims, but only used as a source for Syrian government and allied claims, such as non-controversial territorial report, or with clear attribution when a claim might be disputed. There are two claims in the text sourced to Al-Masdar, for which I can find no other source online. I added attribution in the text (as I also did for claims single sourced only to anti-government SOHR) but these have been reverted without explanation (I think by Mr User). To avoid reverting again, I have tagged as dubious. Can anyone else comment? BobFromBrockley ( talk) 21:58, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
I have restored the better source tags to these claims as, even though it is 6 weeks since I posted these comments, there has been no justification here on the talk page for the way they have been edited. @ Mr.User200: please don't revert again without giving justification here and gaining consensus. BobFromBrockley ( talk) 09:42, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
The following item was removed without explanation by @ Mr.User200:: British troops leave Syria and halt their FSA training program. [1] I don't see why this is not noteworthy. I don't want to simply revert, as per Wikipedia etiquette, but think a reason could be given for the removal. I note the same editor has not replied to my queries in the previous section here, but has instead preferred unilateral editing. Can we edit by consensus here please?

@
Mr.User200: Can you explain why you
undid my edit and deleted this: The Syrian government shells rebel towns in Eastern Ghouta:
Ein Tarma town targeted with 10 ground-to-ground local FIL missiles, killing a woman and child and wounding others; and four people are wounded when the city of
Harasta is shelled with mortars.
[1]
This is notable and adequately sourced. You have given no explanation in your edit summary.
