WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Foreign relations of Rojava, along with other pages relating to the Syrian Civil War and ISIL, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

– In relation to the recent discussion at Talk:Rojava#Requested_move_14_October_2019 which concluded that Rojava remain, it makes no sense that other articles about the very same entity use the other proposed name regardless of its official use. In my own research I found articles, templates and categories which use a mixture of Rojava, Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, North and East Syria, NES, Democratic Federation of Northern Syria, Northern Syria and Syrian Kurdish. I personally know of no other territory on Wiki that is so disorganised in the naming of its articles. The reasonings for this vast range of names is clearly due to the various disputes which have been had and the lack of clear up following them. As a result, I call for a unified name under the most recent decision made and for a listing of all Wiki entities related to Rojava be created to ensure such are updated in the future. The articles listed are the ones which I have found so far, but I am sure there are plenty more out there. UaMaol (talk) 22:20, 23 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Support move - Rojava should be the name used for all these pages, just as it is on the article about the polity itself and WP:COMMONNAME Sisuvia (talk) 10:04, 24 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Support per WP:COMMONNAME. Rojava is a neutral, well-understood and very commonly used name to reffer to the region and it's administration. Goodposts (talk) 12:05, 24 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Support per consensus; the results of all three requested moves on Talk:Rojava this year showed that there is no consensus to refer to the polity as the NES or AANES, and that Rojava remains the common name at this time. Vanilla Wizard 💙 21:48, 25 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
