===Examples of cases where the contested icon should ''not'' be used===

* A caseCases where there washave no chance of the enemy taking the town over, andbeen only, small clashesor weresporadic going onclashes in thea town., We don't put towns contested if there are only sporadicor clashes. Sothat reportsstopped of clashes are not always enough to mark a townafter assome contestedhours.

* A case where there were many separate reports of rebel ambushes on army checkpoints, sobut this was not ano ''seizure of territory'' inside of the town. The rebels do not control any part of the town, so a contested icon is unwarranted.

* A case where there were clashes in a town with a handful of enemy fighters and the clashes were over after some hours. For example if source says: "… at least six insurgents were killed during the clashes … while the rest of militants escaped on Saturday evening”

* A case where there was just one source about clashes in a major town and what occurred was essentially a small firefight. Sleeper cells infiltrated the town and shot at some soldiers, and the soldiers shot back and killed some of them. The source then reports the rest of the fighters as having fled the battlefield. So this was a one-off, hit-and-run attack, not a serious attempt to grab and ''hold'' parts of the town.

* A case where there were many separate reports of rebel ambushes on army checkpoints so this was not a ''seizure of territory'' inside of the town. The rebels do not control any part of the town, so a contested icon is unwarranted.

* A case where the enemy reached city limits. Well, they still haven't entered the city proper (which is the prerequisite for marking the city as "contested") When the city really becomes contested, a bunch of news outlets will be reporting on it. Just because there is enemy at gates does not mean it is contested. The enemy needs to be making progress in the city.

* The evidence should be especially strong to turn a “stronghold” contested. A few clashes, especially on the periphery are not enough. There should be evidence that the enemy can do more than just hit & run attacks. In these cases, a semi-circle is often enough.
