Talk:Islamic State capture Syrian airbase

Nusra or al-Nusra

I am unsure if it is better to use the name 'Nusra Front', as it appears in the sources related to this story, or 'al-Nusra Front' as it appears elsewhere. CSJJ104 (talk) 18:30, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Review of revision 2829897 [Passed]

Revision 2829897 of this article has been reviewed by Pi zero (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 22:27, 24 August 2014 (UTC). Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: Re hampering the Syrian government's ability to deploy air power in northern Syria. Without attribution, the assertion is non-neutral. With attribution it's a pain to figure out how to keep it distant from its source, and it comes across sounding slightly lame anyway. This province is a big chunk of northern Syria, and once the reader is told there were several squadrons of planes at Tabqa, we can let them figure for themselves what it's likely to do to the government's northern air power. "several planes" was clearly too weak to convey what the sources indicated. BBC said "dozens" of warplanes, and Al Jaz said several squadrons — which translates as "dozens" if you know how many a squadron is (where a wikilink for squadron comes in handy). The reviewed revision should automatically have been edited by removing {{Review}} and adding {{Publish}} at the bottom, and the edit sighted; if this did not happen, it may be done manually by a reviewer.
