Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to post-1978 Iranian politics, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Mu'awiya's Southern Campaigns

[edit]

"Alid raids onto Syria" isn't the result, the result is if they were successful or were repelled, so I recommend editing that 139.218.41.17 (talk) 10:31, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll definitely look onto it , thanks for the concern Legion of Liberty (talk) 11:50, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
if we look into the raids and battles ,
  • Raid of Raqqa
  • Battle of Palmyra
  • Battle of Qarqisiya , All of them resulted in a alid victory so I'm editing it to a "Alid military victory in Syria as i didn't yet find a source citing any conflict inside syria where ummayads achieved a upper hand ( you're free to contribute if you find any ) so until then I'm editing it
Legion of Liberty (talk) 11:54, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have any sources but I would question the notion of an Alid victory in Syria; Syria was Mu'awiya's stronghold and his hold on power there was not affected. From what I see in this article, it seems similar to Mu'awiya's raids on Iraq; with minor skirmishing before retreating or being repelled. I suggest that it is omitted from the result section 139.218.41.17 (talk) 16:50, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The term "minor skirmish" is not applicable , Alids and Ummayads fought decisive battles with thousands of troops in Palmyra and Qarqisiya with considerable casualities . Also the result contains "Ummayad victory in hejaz and yemen " was there an immediate cessation of power from Ali's authority to Mu'awiya ? No , it happened much later and busr too retreated. So Alids despite retreating or not establishing authority , defeated ummayad forces in Syria not only in raids but battles. Also a military victory doesn't necessarily mean a political victory , alids won most of the battles but according to yourself ( the edit you made previously with a source) Ummayads achieved a political victory. Hence when military victories of iraq and hejaz , yemen is included , Syria shouldn't necessary be an exception. I'm here unbiasedly ready for resolving any further issues with dialogue and sources , Thanks. Legion of Liberty (talk) 17:46, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
disagree that the battles in Syria (and Iraq as well) were decisive; as for Alid power in Hejaz and Yemen; the populations had to pledge allegiance to Mu'awiya and were subjugated, hence the Umayyad political victory (the source is actually yours, I was originally of the opinion of keeping the result "Inconclusive"). The Umayyad campaign in Hejaz and Yemen was much larger in scale and in their effect compared to their raids on Iraq and Alid counter-raids onto Syria.
nonetheless, I have chosen not to remove omit the battles in Syria from the result section, and instead have combined it with the other Alid military victories into one single bullet point. 139.218.41.17 (talk) 04:39, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay let us consider the facts which are already well sourced in the article and also I'd like to answer some of your considerations .
  1. Scale of Iraq and Syria vs Hejaz and Yemen Busr during his took 2600 troops with him and faced almost no resistance in Hejaz and won battles in Yemen and later retreated. Mu'awiya himself considered it to be a punitive expedition ( it's sourced ) .
  2. Now if you see the scale of the battles in Iraq , the battles of Hit , Basra ( it's a important one ) , Anbar etc , these battles had a decisive result and constituted thousands of troops facing each other rather than a "raid". Also I didn't yet find a battle where ummayads managed to successfully subdue parts of Iraq.
  3. Coming to Syria , The battle of Palmyra alone had more troops than hejaz and yemen from both sides and it too was decisive about the belligerent which had upper hand in the battle. Qarqisiya was even larger in scale than Palmyra and too was decisive.
  4. We should therefore add in the results section of what is already decisive rather than declaring a total victory from our assumption and we should not undermine the alid victories in Iraq and Syria as much as of Busr's victories in yemen and hejaz and for that more than one bullet points could be required . So I'm changing the following points as region wise
  5. * Alid victory in the siege of Tayma
  6. * Ummayad attacks on Iraq replused by Alid forces
  7. * Alid military victories in Palymra , Qarqisiya and the raid of Raqqa
  8. Ummayad military victory in Hejaz and Yemen
Legion of Liberty (talk) 06:19, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
okay I concede to what you say on the scale of the battles, but I think there's too many bullet points, the result section should be more organised, which i combined the alid victories into one bullet point. I think my version of the result section had it summarised the best- Alid military victories in Iraq, Syria and Tayma (that covers all of the battles, raids etc. that the Alids won) and then the Umayyad military victories in Hejaz and Yemen for Busr 139.218.41.17 (talk) 14:49, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have restored the truce as the result of the conflict because previously i lacked sources of any such truce now however i sourced the result. You can note the similar consistency in the Battle of Siffin , Alids despite putting heavier casualities on the forces of Mu'awiya , Siffin isn't considered a Alid victory instead the arbitration was the result which ended the conflict. The truce of 660 didn't collapse any more as soon Ali would be assassinated by the Kharijites , I have not removed the sourced ummayad strategical victory as it is a aftermath result concluded by secondary sources. Thank you for you attention to this matter Legion of Liberty (talk) 09:25, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
