Retrieved 31 October 2019. The conflict has led to other clashes between Wikipedia editors; an editor for the newly-created Operation Peace Spring page warns, "This name edit war needs to stop, adding some comments regarding names."

Ref 137

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Just wanting to clarify, should ref 137 be replaced with a better source of information or should it just be left? Endersslay (talk) 14:14, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

It is not a WP:RS and is tagged as such. So yes, it should be replaced or the unverified information removed. Cinderella157 (talk) 01:55, 14 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Change name to “2019 Turkish invasion of Syria”

Latest comment: 4 months ago5 comments5 people in discussion

similar to other invasions of foreign countries like the US Invasion of Iraq or the 2024 Israeli Invasion of Lebanon, this title should be 2019 Turkish Invasion of Syria.

An offensive into a foreign country is an invasion. I’m not sure why this page has a different naming convention from every other invasion entry on Wikipedia

• Oppose – Per WP:COMMONNAME, unless the majority of secondary reliable sources call this an "invasion", the article should not be renamed. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 03:40, 12 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

All other Turkish operations in Syria are referred to by their Turkish name. Why should this one have a vague name? They're all under the banner of "Turkish Occupation of Syria" anyways. Are we going to start calling the Russo-Ukrainian war a Special Military Operation? Or Operation Inherent Resolve "The US invasion of North-Eastern Syria? TedKekmeister (talk) 14:06, 20 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

• Oppose - Then we should do same for U.S. Operation Inherent Resolve as American Invasion of Syria.
