Syrian Civil War

I've drafted an initial article on Syrian Civil War. Please review.

Review by Critic Carla:

The article is well-structured and accurately covers the intended topic. The tone is neutral, and the lead section provides a comprehensive summary. However, for a conflict of this scale and complexity, the article is currently too brief and lacks necessary granular detail.

• Expand the "Major Phases" section into multiple subsections. The current structure lumps the 2012-2017 period into three long paragraphs. This should be broken down into chronological or thematic subsections (e.g., "The Rise of the Insurgency," "The Emergence of ISIL," and "Russian Intervention") to improve readability and depth.
• Add a dedicated section for War Crimes and Human Rights. While "siege warfare" and chemical weapons are mentioned, a comprehensive encyclopedia entry on this topic requires a standalone section detailing documented atrocities, the role of the UN Commission of Inquiry, and the legal pursuit of war crimes.
• Develop the "Key Figures" section. Currently, this section is more of a list of belligerents. It should be expanded to include a narrative on the leadership of the opposition (beyond just the FSA) and a more detailed analysis of the internal dynamics of the Syrian government's military command.
• Incorporate more precise data and citations. While there are general references at the bottom, the body text lacks inline citations for specific claims, such as the "hundreds of billions" in economic costs and the specific death tolls. Adding precise, cited figures will strengthen the article's credibility.

Fact-check by Fact-Checker Finn:

• The claim that infrastructure destruction has been "near-total in some regions" is a sweeping generalization; while severe, it lacks specific citations or a definition of "near-total" to avoid hyperbole.
• The statement that the Syrian Arab Army's survival was "ensured by the loyalty of the Alawite minority" is an oversimplification that ignores the critical role of the intelligence services (Mukhabarat) and the strategic timing of foreign interventions.
• The article describes the Free Syrian Army (FSA) as representing a "secular, nationalist front," which lacks nuance regarding the diverse ideological makeup of the FSA and its various brigades, some of which had Islamist leanings.
• The phrase "global superpowers" is used repeatedly to describe participants; however, the list of participants includes regional powers (Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia) that do not fit the definition of a global superpower.
