Rules for Editing the Map

1- A reliable source for that specific edit should be provided.
a) A well-known source that has a reputation for neutral (not biased) territorial control coverage, can be used (is deemed reliable) for all edits.
b) A well-known source that does not have a reputation for neutral (not biased) territorial control coverage, can be used (is deemed reliable) only for edits that are unfavorable to the side it prefers (favorable to the side it opposes).
c) A source that is not well-known (or that has proven inaccurate for all edits) cannot be used (is deemed unreliable) for any edit. This includes all maps (see item 2- next).

2- Copying from maps is strictly prohibited. Maps from mainstream media are approximate and therefore unreliable for any edit. Maps from amateur sources are below the standards of Wikipedia for any edit. They violate WP:RS and WP:CIRCULAR.
WP:RS: “Anyone can create a personal web page or publish their own book, and also claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published media, such as books, patents, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs, Internet forum postings, and tweets, are largely not acceptable as sources.” Source: Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published_sources
WP:CIRCULAR: “Do not use websites that mirror Wikipedia content or publications that rely on material from Wikipedia as sources.”

3- WP:POV pushing and intentional misinterpretation of sources will not be tolerated. If you are not sure about what the source is saying (or its reliability), post it on the talk page first so that it would be discussed.

Unity government

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Now that there is a unity government, should we mark all icons in red and remove the green from this map, but leave the module on wikipedia in case the conflict re-ignites (which it might, considering most of the people who were in power when it began are now still in power). I'd like your opinions on this potential edit. PutItOnAMap (talk) 19:14, 30 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Sorry for the late answer, had to learn for my examen. The heaviest part is now behind me.

I'd agree to put them all in red colour, but I'd actually let the SVG-map as it is with a comment like "areas held by rebels before the ceasefire."--Ermanarich (talk) 14:15, 3 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
