"ISIS not the Islamic state it fiercely claims to be". Olean Times Herald. March 18, 2015. I approach Wikipedia cautiously as to whether its abundant information on a multitude of subjects is complete and authoritative. But I salute the site for its numerous citations concerning the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS — specifically the "criticism of the name 'Islamic State' and 'caliphate' declaration" (found under its entry for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant).
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!

@82.33.117.11, we could start by educating them as most media houses, personnel and people; we don't need to campaign for them or confuse people by keeping the name Islamic. It's best to make it Daesh, Arab governments also address it by that name Ultimate Tai (talk) 10:30, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

At the end of the list of ideologies encomapssed by the IS, there is no period. I think a period should be added after the word "Misogyny." IvyYorke (talk) 20:48, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Add A Fact: "Ex-soldier sentenced for aiding ISIS"
Latest comment: 20 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion
I found a fact that might belong in this article. See the quote below
A former soldier in the U.S. Army was sentenced on Friday to 14 years in prison after pleading guilty to attempting to provide ISIS with information to help plan an ambush he thought would result in the deaths of U.S. soldiers in the Middle East, according to the U.S. Justice Department.

Islamic State→? — Current name is just the "Islamic State", it’s can confuse readers with article about the concept. I don’t' suggest it to rename the article to ISIL, beacuse "ISIL" is not common name anymore and pretty outdated.
Oppose Islamic State is the common name for the organization, being the one used by the media. The organization is also the clear primary topic for the name "Islamic State" with this capitalization. The hatnote at the top of the article is good enough to clear up any confusion. QuicoleJR (talk) 19:07, 20 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

ISIS contains a large amount of ideas and ideologies, why not summarize them in the phrase "Islamic Statism"?، (I couldn'tedit the page but i made this topic as discussing page about ideology) 178.81.55.110 (talk) 11:52, 30 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
