Template talk:Islamic State

WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Template:Islamic State, 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!

Removing sydney shooting

No reference establishes ISIL co-ordination or any involvement. See article 2014 Sydney hostage crisis and the talk page calling for tags "terrorism" not to be applied to article without consensus. -- Callinus (talk) 11:17, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Curtis culwell attack

Curtis Culwell Center attack has a section on ISIL claims, which have no evidence supporting them. Removing. -- Callinus (talk) 11:21, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article Northern Iraq offensive (June 2014) needs to be added to the template. — Gorthian (talk) 21:04, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also Syrian Kurdish–Islamist conflict (2013–present) — Gorthian (talk) 02:53, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Media of ISIL

I think their should be a new section for media in this infobox. Including Amaq News Agency, Dabiq, Dar al-Islam, Konstantiniyye, Istok, Rumiyah, and Al-Bayan. Perhaps also including notable individuals who have produced media for ISIL such as Ahlam al-Nasr (this may also include Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary but I am unsure if he ever produced music for the organization). Sunomi64 (talk) 17:48, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a good idea, we should separate content which was made by ISIL and content about ISIL as well.★Trekker (talk) 18:07, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. 'ISIL media' vs 'ISIL in the media'. I brought up my original point because it was weird to me that most of their media outlets weren't mentioned in the infobox, especially given that they seem to be their main way of communicating with outsiders. Also, thanks for a timely reaponse. Lack of communication and negative communication are big contributors to why I don't edit Wikipedia much. Sunomi64 (talk) 18:29, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 10 May 2019: Abu Sayyaf bombing in Jolo Church. Isn't Abu Sayyaf now ISIS branch?

This edit request to Template:Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

2019 Jolo Cathedral bombings could be included? It is something ISIS-like, especially Abu Sayyaf has joined ISIS. 113.20.98.218 (talk) 09:57, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
