Focus on Turkey-SDF articles

Hello Marjdabi, you seems to have a special focus on Turkish military operation in Afrin, Syrian Democratic Forces, Democratic Federation of Northern Syria, 2016–present purges in Turkey. I have some expertise on the issue and can discuss with you on why your current way to edit is troublesome for the community. If you want to contribute positively, following Wikipedia's objective to document these subjects fairly, feel free to discuss with me on what you want to do, and how Wikipedia(ns) will react to your actions. Many of us made wrongful edits at first and came to understand wikipedia after trials, errors, and discussions. Yug (talk) 20:59, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

The articles related to Turkey, SDF and other controversial topics do not cover anything that mentions the SDF's controversy. I have tried to add on some details to make the articles unbiased but the edits were removed citing no consensus reached. How can I report some facts even if some people object to them? Does Wikipedia rather report what the consensus is reached upon rather than actual events which took place? For example, a main issue during Afrin campaign - The suicide bombing by the SDF was not mentioned in the article at all, and once I mentioned it it was removed for not having the consensus reached for the topic. And once I reverted it I've gotten a 7 day block, which is now over. Yug Marjdabi (talk) 17:52, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Suicide bombing is not a willful repeated strategy by SDF. "Taking a grenade" -sacrifice of one soldier to protect the team- is a common, all armies behavior based on individual soldiers' initiatives. Such cases have been reported in Afghanistan by US marines, an action for wish the soldier "taking a grenade" often win a postumous medal. It been reported by SDF as rare exemplary cases, in Kobane (1) and in Afrin (1). In all these cases, it isn't the fruit of long term planning and terrorist thinking, it emerge from being unexpectedly attacked or trapped, and an individual soldier chose to sacrifice him/herself so to slow his opponent's advance. Both Kobane and Afrin are rare and typical of these. There is no complex conspiracy or controversy to it. It's just sad. It has no common ground with WW2 kamikazes or Al Quaeda massive usage of suicide bombing. Are you willing to showcase these few cases as terrorist practices and controversies ? If so, yes, you will meet resistances because it's simply it's that a controversy. Yug (talk) 19:00, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

I have never seen an example of US troop killing himself with a grenade to take out a tank. I believe it needs a mention. Also the Pro SDF news media has praised her as a suicide bomber "Wrapped in bomb" Which has 0 mention in the article. Marjdabi (talk) 19:46, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

• Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Hurricane Florence. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to being blocked from editing. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox. Pierre cb (talk) 22:36, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

What do you mean vandalize. I corrected the page from hurricane to storm, Pierre cb Marjdabi (talk) 22:39, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

No you did not: First, you changed every occurence of "Hurricane" in the text with "Tropical Storm" and thus completely messing the text (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hurricane_Florence&diff=859569736&oldid=859566468). Second, you renamed the article as Tropical Storm while the name has to remain the one of the highest intensity of it. This is either vandalism or not bothering reading the rules of Wikipedia on top of not reading the article you changed. Pierre cb (talk) 01:59, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

Ok, sorry. Marjdabi (talk) 02:28, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
