@Diannaa Oh my paraphrasing was bad, tho now i have forgot what i have added into the article. Also, is it okay if i add text from a public domain source as is? https://archive.org/details/20201031_20201031_1145/page/729/mode/2up Abo Yemen✉ 04:52, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Battle of Sanaa (2014)

Hello. I took care of your move request at WP:RM/TR, but just wanted you to know, in case you don't already, that you should be able to do these kinds of moves yourself. As long as there is not more than one edit at the redirect that points back to the article to be moved, any autoconfirmed editor should be able to move that article over the redirect. Station1 (talk) 06:39, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

when I try doing that I usually get an error Abo Yemen✉ 06:58, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

You will get an error message when there are even just two edits at the redirect. But if there is just one - usually when the article has just been recently moved - you should be able to do it. Try it next time it comes up and let me know if it works for you or not. I'm not an admin and I was able to move that article. Station1 (talk) 07:03, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

aha, ig i gotta wait for someone to move a page w/o consensus and ill try it out. Thanks for letting me know! Abo Yemen✉ 07:06, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

"ARBECR applies"

Please note that not all general sanctions (most, even) include extended confirmed restriction as a remedy; the Syrian civil war general sanctions do not, and thus under the currently imposed sanctions on pages such as Talk:Battle of Aleppo (2024), striking all comments by non-EC editors is not correct practice. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 13:01, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

You should reconsider striking some of the comments like "Are you a regime supporter?" Abo Yemen✉ 13:27, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

That would be valid, but not under the previous rationale of ECR. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 13:29, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
