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.

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."
I've never done edits to Wikipedia 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)Reply
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)Reply

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)Reply
@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.
