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.

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.

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)
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)
