Talk:Aleppo

Alternative banner for this article?

Suggested new alternative banner

I created a new alternative banner for this article (I initially created it first and foremost so that it would be used at the top of the parallel article in the Hebrew edition of Wikivoyage, yet I later decided to also suggest that the English Wikivoyage community would consider using it here as well). So, which banner do you prefer having at the top of this article? ויקיג'אנקי (talk) 05:22, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

How many of the buildings pictured in the new banner are still standing? I would propose a moratorium on changing the banner of this article until the war ends. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:38, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Yes, it doesn't seem right to work on Aleppo as a travel destination at this point in time. --Andrewssi2 (talk) 06:44, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

I prefer alternative banners from traditional city panoramas / cityscapes, whenever possible. The current one works well for me, so I am against the change. Danapit (talk) 14:25, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Collaboration for updating this article

As of October 2017, all of Aleppo is under government control, there are newspaper articles about rebuilding as well as tourists arriving (albeit in very limited numbers). While tensions are still high - I am certain that we as a community have very different views on the tragedy that is this Civil War - it would be respectful to the city to update this article as far as its possible. --Jonte-- (talk) 11:57, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

Views on the civil war aren't relevant, but knowledge is. If you know enough to update, please plunge forward. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:01, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
