WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Syrian transitional government, along with other pages relating to the Syrian Civil War and ISIL, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

Many ministries for one minister?

Why do some some ministers have the names of two ministries next to them? I could not find sources saying that there's a minister that's holding two ministries at the same time. Why are they written like that here?

You can remove them 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 11:45, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Marxsafe:

you reverted the edits, can I know based on what sources did you keep those ministries under those ministers?

Old members of the Syrian Transitional Government.

I think we should add in the member part of the page, a template with old members that had offices in the Syrian Transitional Government, what do you all think about that? 77.183.98.84 (talk) 19:42, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I added a To column. There's no point trying to make separate tables. We can use rowspan when ministers can replaced, possibly also with colspan to make it easier to see the separate ministers, as in Council of Ministers of Abiy Ahmed#Members, for example. Edit and look without saving to see the source text. See also Help:Table.

I'm not aware of any ministers who have been replaced, so currently there's no more than one minister-period per ministry. Boud (talk) 22:08, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Political Parties

Since the HTS was abolished on 29 January 2025, does that mean that all members of the cabinet are now considered independent?

- RamiPat (talk) 20:59, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any justification in removing the [[...|HTS]] intrawiki links. The table is for an encyclopedia, which covers periods of time; it's not a news bulletin, that aims to describe "now". We could put in a citation using a WP:REFGROUP type reference group that states, with a source, that HTS was formally dissolved on 29 Jan 2025. If any of them join a new political party/military group, per WP:RS, then we add the new party group, and add the extra references in the references column. If some of them end up having complicated affiliation histories (e.g. HTS, then ABC, then DEF, then GHI), I think that this table is not the place to give details - just listing them [[...|HTS]], [[ABC]], [[DEF]], [[GHI]] and adding the references should be enough. The changes should be described in prose if relevant to the Cabinet evolution as a whole, and/or in the individual's Wikipedia entry, where anyone interested in his/her military/political affiliation history would tend to expect to find those details.

AFAIK the HTS as a political org is still there and only the armed wing got dissolved 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 17:31, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Only the militant group has been dissolved not the political coalition Waleed (talk) 22:39, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
