:Since Bustan al-Quasayr is still being shelled it means there are still rebels there so its still disputed. The area around the Citadel is, per the last reports, still under military control. Its the Souk, that is several hundred meters away, that is disputed. Mosque is under military control, a disputed area has already been colored right next to it.

First, thank you very much for the frequent updates to this wiki. It would be helpful if the map were updated to reflect the situation in November 2012. While I realize those helping update this wiki have other more important matters to attend to, it would be very insightful if a time lapsed .gif of how the front lines have changed over the last six moths or so to get a beet feel of the dynamic changes in the front lines. Bluntly put, while only accurate information (or the best information available) should be shown, to the extent that the dynamic picture shows rebel advancement, the many Europeans, Americans and Arabs monitoring this wiki will have more information to pressure their government representatives to increase rebel support. |

As per the main article, there are reports of ground fighting and shelling in the Salaheddine district. This would indicate that at least the red arrow from Salaheddine to Saif-al-Dawla is no longer current, and IMO Salaheddine should be orange. Also, the regular army offensive on Arkoub is depicted as coming from Hamdaniya, which itself is marked as disputed (orange). This is not logical, the arrow should either be removed or reoriented to originate from Hanano army base (makes more sense anyway). Again, this is according to the article. You may dispute the validity of the facts presented there, but you cannot dispute that the map needs to correspond to the article. - WhoEver109 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.202.5.160 (talk) 05:53, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It seems fighting has reached a new static line since the failed rebel offensive, and the failed military counterattack. I suggest we make Bustan al-Quasayr green and remove the red arrow, since there are no reports of fighting, but the military is still shelling the district and neighouring Fardous, meaning there are rebel fighters there. Also, we should mark the Citadel area as disputed, since the Free Syrian Army controls some part of the Souk and attacked the Omayyad Mosque twice last week. I don't know anything about the fighting in Shaar, but it seems the FSA is still on control, as fighting has not spread further east towards Hanano and Sakhour. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.24.43.183 (talk) 11:32, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
