Hi,

Thanks for the message. If you look at the Arabic text p.134 second line, it clearly says " Tad'ee al-akrad...", i.e. he wrote that the Kurds claimed this and that. It is kinda weak to include that in the article, but he clearly says on p.53 [1] that he translated two books from Kurdish into Arabic. I hope that clears it up. It's definitely exciting to hear about an ancient alphabet for Kurdish, but we have to be careful what to include in the article for the sake of reliability and accuracy.Vekoler (talk) 21:08, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I see you've edited Asayiş to include information about Syria. Do you have any sources for the way Asayiş is suppose to be spelled and for the claim that Asayiş is active in Syrian Kuridstan? ~ Zirguezi 15:24, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

According to Kurdish Latin alphabet Asayiş is correct, although there are a number of misspellings such as Asaish, esaish, Asayesh, etc. Also for Asayish in western Kurdistan see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmwb9FFNICs Roboskiye (talk) 20:32, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I just wanted to thank you again for your contributions to the detailed Syria map. I'd been trying to scrape up whatever info possible on Kurdish ground control, but the fact that I know neither Arabic nor Kurmanci was a big hindrance. Your additions have really added clarity to an aspect of the conflict that is unfortunately ill-understood by many. Regards, Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 19:19, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you both for your kind comment and for your valuable contributions! Roboskiye (talk) 20:53, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You might also want to add some of the towns to Template:West Kurdistan towns, which I created to show Kurdish control exclusively. It's too small to fit all of them, but adding some of them would be good! ~~ Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 16:47, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, adding the towns/villages at border areas with Islamist controlled areas would be great. I'lll expand it.

I too thank you for your valuable additions,but I do have a question for the scattered villages east of the Efrin area are the village and their surroundings under kurdish control,and another request there is an editor who is making a map of territorial control of the kurdish area,can you help him in his map Alhanuty (talk) 18:13, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the map,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_situation_in_Afrin_district.svg

Thank you! Yes there are alot of Kurdish villages between Efrin and Kobani, many of them under Kurdish control. But Islamic groups in Azaz area have currently blocked Efrin region from other Kurdish villages to the east. The area between Kobani and Efrin is currently controlled by dozens of heterogenous groups all calling themselves 'FSA' but with different levels of cooperation and/or conflicts among eachother. One of the ost significant ones is Jibhat al Akrad (Front of the Kurds), a large PYD-related group who operates in for exempel Al-Raqqa, Manbij, Qabasin, Tal Aran, Tal Hasil, Tal Saghir, and dozens of smaller villages near those areas. Another groups is Saladin which are also Kurds but islamists in ideology, they operate near Azaz area. Kurdish town of Alghooz southeast of Azaz is controlled by such groups.

As for the map, It is for the most part correct. But in the southeast, immediately to the south of Nubl lies town of Zahra, also Shia-inhabited and should be colored red. Then again immediately to south and west of Zahra are located Kurdish villages under YPG control as far as Bashmera. So the map needs some corrections in southeast. Roboskiye (talk) 22:08, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Which Kurdish groups are controlling the villages between Efrin and Kobane? Are these YPG or Jabhat al-Akrad? Kurdish opposition? Or are they Selahedine Brigade and other FSA/islamist allies? I hadn't heard of these areas being (non-FSA/islamist, I did know about pro-rebel Kurds in al-Ghuz before) Kurdish before, and now someone is complaining at the talkpage here. ~~ Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 19:45, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The most active group in this area is Liwa Jibhat al-Akrad (Brigade of Front of the Kurds), which is a large YPG-subgroup, cooperating with FSA. Jibhat al-Akrad who possesses thousands of fighers is formed of several battalions operating in numerous areas such as Aleppo, Raqa, Tal Aran, Tal Hasil, Manbij, Tal Saghir, Ayn Isa, Qabasin, etc + dozens of smaller villages between Kobani and Afrin. Jibhat al-Akrad is at war with Jubhat al-Nusra group. Selaheddin Brigades operate in Alghooz and parts of Azaz. Roboskiye (talk) 20:18, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. I recall hearing that Jabhat al-Akrad fought against FSA during Efrin siege, is this correct? ~~ Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 23:19, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, In Aleppo they are fighting Asad forces, immediately east of Aleppo they're fighting Jibhat al-Nusra, north of Aleppo they're threatening to fight in the same trench as YPG against Azaz rebels. Roboskiye (talk) 08:05, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinates

If you don't mind me asking, where are you getting the coordinates for the villages that you add? ~~ Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 18:48, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Again you add villages that I can't seem to find anywhere. What's your secret? :) ~~ Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 17:04, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is no secret; I just use different maps to locate different villages/positions. If I don’t find the village on any maps, then I’ll try to choose approximate coordination to solve the problem temporarily. Roboskiye (talk) 15:32, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are not quite right because the city Chardaghli which I added to the card is located south of the city of Kirkuk.her Hanibal911 (talk) 19:47, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The source reads: The attacks took place on June 16 in the neighboring villages of Chardaghli, Brawchi and Karanaz, as well as a fourth village, Beshir, some 50 kilometers to the north [2]. So it is clear which Chardaqli is meant here. Regards. Roboskiye (talk) 19:54, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here more newer pro opposition Kurdish source confirms the presence of the Syrian army in the city Hasaka. So stop to change the city on the under control by YPG.ARA News Hanibal911 (talk) 05:23, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The pro-regime forces guard two buildings in entire Hasaka city, which is totally negligible. This is even mentioned in your source: On the other hand, the pro-regime military forces, who are stationed at al-Hasakah governorate building. Roboskiye (talk) 20:54, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You call the status of those villages to be unsourced. However, at the time they were edited as contested sources WERE provided which described them as such. So you are incorrect in that regard. EkoGraf (talk) 16:23, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Based on which source you changed Tall Ma'ruf as contested. Is it sourced??

All sources are in the edit history. That's the system we established. So scroll through it if you want to find the source. EkoGraf (talk) 17:38, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You maybe just dont understand my argument that if the other editors will be edit on based which you indicated then the map will be very distorted! And do not accuse me in excessive loyalty to the Syrian government troops since I also often edit in favor of the Kurds and even in favor of the rebels. Hanibal911 (talk) 16:33, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I looked the history of map editing and found a mistake! On 13 July the editor Ahmetyal noted the village Tall Maruf to contested and also add the village Eastern Palestine and noted it as contested on based data the Kurdish source.here But he was wrong in the source did not said that in these villages clashes in the source only says that Islamic militants shelled the villages of heavy artillery and tanks. So with regard to these villages, you were right! I'm sorry. Hanibal911 (talk) 18:12, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

But here pro opposition Kurdish source confirmed that clashes in the village Jaz'ah.Ara News Hanibal911 (talk) 18:32, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good. I'm still pretty sure there are no clashes in Tal Alo, Jaza and Tel Kocher. But unfortunately there are not many sources to clarify the current situation, with exception of pro-YPG websites. Roboskiye (talk) 08:47, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Zahraa is confirmed by YPG sources to be an ISIS base,i am trying to show the frontline,that is it,can you self-revert please.Alhanuty (talk) 20:12, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But it is from early 2014. And since then especially in recent days much has changed. In fact, the reason why the notorious psychopath Umar Sishani attacked Assyrian villages of Tal Tamer countryside, is because of advancements of YPG between Jaz'ah and Tal Hamis towns. Roboskiye (talk) 20:16, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please be more careful to avoid making links to disambiguation pages in complex modules as you did with this edit, adding link to the disambiguation pages, Zahra and Zahran. It is particularly important to avoid making this kind of mistake in modules, since these links are generally fixed by disambiguators who may not be familiar with the coding used to make modules work, and will have a difficult time implementing the fix. If the article does not exist, create a redlink to the title where the article should exist if created. Cheers! bd2412 T 18:03, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
