This prohibition was put in place last year because of amateur maps on Twitter and other online venues that are generally not regarded as reliable and accurate sources of information. Now I would like to draw to your attention to [http://www.defense.gov/Portals/1/features/2014/0814_iraq/docs/20160512_ISIL%20Areas%20of%20Influence_Aug%202014%20through%20Apr%202016%20Map.pdf this map]. This map is produced by the United States Department of Defense, who opposes ISIL. Although the map is admittedly inaccurate in certain frontline areas, it shows a variety of locations held by ISIL which are not marked by our map. Such areas include sites along the Iraq/Syria border, and areas between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. I ask the community: should we be able to use this map, which is anti-ISIL and from an official military source, to make constructive edits on the Syrian and Iraqi maps? I think we should be able to use it for some locations. [[User:Pbfreespace3|Pbfreespace3]] ([[User talk:Pbfreespace3|talk]]) 04:08, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

== Source: DaeshDaily ==

Hello editors,

[[User:Iwan123Iwan|Iwan123Iwan]] ([[User talk:Iwan123Iwan|talk]]) claimed, that Daeshdaily wouldn't be a reliable source and thus can't be used for our maps. I strongly disagree here, since it is a sample of Arab newspapers translated into english, it's neutral and it observes almost any events around the Islamic State. I wouldn't know of any reason that speaks against the use of DaeshDaily. To make it clear wether it can be used or not, we should deiscuss that now. What are your opinions?

Kind regards, [[User:Ermanarich|Ermanarich]] ([[User talk:Ermanarich|talk]]) 16:48, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
