WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article 2024 Homs offensive, along with other pages relating to the Syrian Civil War and ISIL, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard or the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

While the biographies of living persons policy does not apply directly to the subject of this article, it may contain material that relates to living persons, such as friends and family of persons no longer living, or living persons involved in the subject matter. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons must be removed immediately. If such material is re-inserted repeatedly, or if there are other concerns related to this policy, please see this noticeboard.

@KajMetz: In response to your question in the edit summary, I deleted that because its contradictory. Ecrusized (talk) 14:10, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Ecrusized: I get that, but with the current flow of events contradition is good for the bigger picture. If proven true, that statement loses its worth and won't be part of the article anymore.(talk) 14:13, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I feel like pro-government forces statements have zero credibility at the moment, and I'm getting Bagdad Bob vibes from them, since they've also denied withdrawing from Aleppo and Hama during the past week. But I don't mind waiting for confirmation. Ecrusized (talk) 14:19, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Being reported in UK reliable sources now that they have indeed quit the city. Rambling Rambler (talk) 22:36, 7 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ahmed al-Sharaa

Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa said that Russians stayed away from the 2024 Homs offensive as part of a deal with his forces per https://www.barrons.com/news/president-says-syria-in-talks-with-israel-on-security-deal-8380ceba. I think that this should be added in this article. Pachu Kannan (talk) 09:13, 13 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

I agree on its inclusion. David O. Johnson (talk) 16:56, 13 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
