Incorrect name
The names "Base 80" or "80th base" are not correct. 80 doesn't refer to the base, but to the 80th brigade which was stationed there (before the war). So the correct term should be "80th Brigade military base" or "Brigade 80 military base".
Could someone please change it here and in the main Battle of Aleppo page? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Aleppo_%282012-13%29 ZFR77 (talk) 01:16, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
- My edit was reverted with the note: "Doesn't matter what its called in Arabic, this is the english wikipedia, and I counted that 4 sources in the section call it base 80 while 3 call it brigade 80. So...."
- The fact remains that the number 80 refers to the brigade, and not the base (military bases in Syria are not assigned numbers). I don't want to start edit warring, but I still think it should be changed, especially since enough English sources support this. ZFR77 (talk) 16:57, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
