Income level citation

There is a factoid in the article that says (government?) salaries in the AANES are double that of surrounding communities. "The AANES has by far the highest average salaries and standard of living throughout Syria, with salaries being twice as large as in regime-controlled Syria; following the collapse of the Syrian pound the AANES doubled salaries to maintain inflation, and allow for good wages."

This is a strong claim, with no citation to back it up, and no citation needed tag attached to the claim. Djcart137 (talk) 21:57, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

2023 New Social Contract

On December 12, 2023, the region adopted an updated version of their 2014 Social Contract and changed their name to the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria.

I've never done edits to Misplaced Pages before, much less large-scale ones, what sort of resources are needed to prove and cite the change and to edit the main page with the updated information? Mayaman2 (talk) 12:39, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

I think all you'll need to do is provide an (reputable) article that mentions the amended 2023 social contract, as well as citing the new social contract itself. Remikipedia (talk) 05:19, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Possible undue weight given to pre-AANES history

Hey all. Reading over this article now, I'm concerned that too much text is being devoted to history prior to the establishment of the AANES. In the history section, half(!) of the entire text is discussing pre-AANES history. It uses almost 1,500 words to go over the entire history of the region, dating back thousands of years, often with an unclear relation to the AANES. Most of the cited sources were written years, sometimes even decades, before the AANES was established, so it's hard to establish how much of this has a direct connection to the AANES and what is just patent synth.

This isn't limited to the history section either. The demographics section begins with a few long paragraphs about historical demographic changes that go back centuries! Again, many of the citations are to sources written before the AANES was established, so the connection of this information to the subject is difficult to establish.

By my estimation, this kind of over-contextualisation based on old sources takes up almost 25% of this article's text. I think a lot of this text could be cut, or at least greatly reduced, in order to keep it focused on the subject of the article. We should also be sticking to sources about the AANES, so we can establish a clear connection between the earlier history of the region and this polity. I'm happy to attend to this once I'm done with some ongoing projects, just wanted to raise this issue here in case anyone else is interested in trimming down some of the over-contextualisation. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:29, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

@Grnrchst: Just as information, the current condition of the history section was the result of various past debates. Essentially, there were major disputes over the origin of AANES and its population, and the "over-contextualisation" emerged as a stable compromise which satisfied editors with often opposing viewpoints. Just to clarify, I'm not opposed to the history section being updated / rewritten (and I suspect many of the other editors involved in the old disputes aren't opposed either) -in fact, an update would be great-, I just wanted to inform you of the circumstances. Applodion (talk) 15:59, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

@Applodion: Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it. :) --Grnrchst (talk) 21:00, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Democratic Autonomous Administration

In a previous section it was mentioned that the AANES changed its official name to the DAANES (D for Democratic). And it has seen usage from media too (such has this https://hawarnews.com/en/daa-calls-on-un-to-provide-support-for-displaced-people). I suggest those that can edit the page do so with the new added word Remikipedia (talk) 05:33, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

I think we should go further and move the article to Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria. Charles Essie (talk) 21:41, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

The link to the main article in the 'External relations' section should be to 'AANES–Ba'athist Syria relations' rather than to 'Rojava–Syria relations', to reflect the article's current title. Hexalogical (talk) 16:37, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

New (old) flag

The Flag of the Syrian opposition is adopted as the new flag of the region as per: aanes-adopts-flag-of-syrian-revolution/ Erledigungs (talk) 13:45, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

That source does not state it is adopted as the flag of the region, it states it is adopted as the accepted national flag for AANES. CMD (talk) 15:51, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Well, since they consider themselves to be a part of Syria, just that they want to extend its confederal model to the whole country, and neither do governorates in Syria have its own flags, I think it's reasonable to add the national flag as their flag if they have recognized it. DaniCBP (talk) 16:27, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

That's like adding the flag of the United States to Texas, it flies in Texas but it isn't the flag of Texas. CMD (talk) 17:46, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

@Chipmunkdavis agreed, it is very misleading to imply green-white-black flag is the flag of the DAANES. it's not. TheThighren (talk) 23:51, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

So is the revolutionary flag the accepted flag of Syria in this case? NorthTension (talk) 16:55, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

That's hard to say. At this point it may be safe to call it the de-facto flag of Syria, but not much else. 2601:406:8500:D790:4983:F5FA:5925:E8DC (talk) 17:02, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes, in this case we have a source noting the revolutionary flag is explicitly the flag accepted by the AANES as the flag of Syria. CMD (talk) 17:33, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
