Ahrar ash-Sham is phonetically correct version of the Arabic name. When al- precedes shin (ش) it is pronounced ash. Shouldn't we change the name of the page then? -- Emesik ( talk) 01:48, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
It may well be a more accurate translation, but the world media almost universely refers to it as Ahrar al-Sham. It is also important to note that the group itself uses this spelling for their official website - www.ahraralsham.com Gazkthul ( talk) 00:23, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
In the first sentence "Syrian Revolution" links to a disambiguation page. Which Syrian Revolution? If it is the current 'revolution' surely it should be referred to as "The Syrian Civil War", or something similar. 146.90.230.78 ( talk) 16:59, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

The history section starts out with the early history of Ahrar ash-Sham, but then continues with paragraphs about its members being islamists, a paragraph about how it fights, and then some lose sentences that could just as well be under the Notable Incidents header.
The Notable Incidents section starts out with a notable incident. After that it continues with paragraphs about Ahrar making different coalitions, and therefore it seems to continue the history section above.
A good example of the confusion is in the establishment of two joint operations rooms: On 26 April 2015, Ahrar ash-Sham, along with other major Aleppo based groups, established the Fatah Halab joint operations room. Is under the history section. On 21 October 2015, the Jund al Malahim operations room was created as an alliance of Ajnad al Sham, Ahrar ash-Sham and Al-Nusra in Rif Dimashq. Is under the notable incidents section.
It seems logical to restructure the history section to a section about the origin, current position and military capabilities of Ahrar. The Notable incidents section can then be renamed to History, with small details moved to that section. Grieg2 ( talk) 09:37, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. Number 5 7 19:56, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
Ahrar ash-Sham → Ahrar al-Sham – Ahrar al-Sham was the original title of the article (before June 2013). In this section above, the editor that moved it proposed a move arguing that Ahrar ash-Sham is the "correct" pronunciation in Arabic. Another editor correctly posed that the name "Ahrar al-Sham" is nevertheless almost universally used as its English name, but the page had already been moved. Wikipedia is currently pretty much the only one calling it Ahrar ash-Sham. Requesting a speedy move back to Ahrar al-Sham per WP:COMMONNAME.

Per the folowwing reference internal I will change the name in english to Islamic Ahrar Al-Sham Movement . I also want to notify that is due to a request I recieved personally from the chief translation responsible in the media office of the movement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helmy1453 ( talk • contribs) 17:16, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Ahrar al-Sham's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Wahhabism was included in the infobox as part of their ideology. The supporting reference given, with no page numbers or quotations, was the 37-page GHANMI, Elyès; PUNZET, Agnieszka (11 June 2013). " The involvement of Salafism/Wahhabism in the support and supply of arms to rebel groups around the world" (PDF). European Parliament.
I see nothing in this document that says Ahrar al-Sham is Wahhabi. It says they are Salafi. Here is what it says about Ahrar al-Sham:
If I am overlooking anything, please give quotations and page nos. thanks. Nurg ( talk) 09:21, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

@ Editor abcdef, David O. Johnson, LightandDark2000, EkoGraf, and NuclearWizard: like to al-Nusra (JFS) who has been dissolved after the merging into HTS, I think we should consider the same for Ahrar al-Sham because the Liberation Organization is not an operation room or a coalition, it is a new armed group. -- Panam2014 ( talk) 17:03, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
