The article Syria, 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 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!

This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report7 times. The weeks in which this happened:
It says in this page that the Christianity in Syria is 2.52-3.84% of population, and that is literally impossible because Christians in Syria constituted at least 12% of the population before the war and then during the war, most people who immigrated and were displayed were Muslims and Suunis specifically, so the Christian population must still be around the same like before the war. It is misleading to say that an ancient community in Syria, who built this country is that small and outnumbered. I definitely recommend changing this information considering another resource. Even the Muslim percentage is way too high. There is a lot of atheists and agnostics in the country. In addition to shia and Ismailis and Alawites. Check the Religion in Syria page and sources used there. Sami.vahit (talk) 16:11, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
