edit against source

Applodion, your edit here:[1] is not following the source. It says NE Syria, not AANES. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 15:46, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article is talking about areas under SDF control, i.e. AANES. I don't think you want to imply that ISIL detention centers in government-held areas of the northeast are meant, do you? Using the generic "northeastern Syria" would include these also, but this is not meant here (the source also mentions that information about the escape attempt was released by a branch of the "Rojava" gov, btw). Applodion (talk) 23:34, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NE Syria does not imply that its located in government held areas, it implies that it is located in NE Syria, exactly what the source says and exactly where the prison is located. SDF/AANES occupying the area does not change that the area is NW Syria. Are you going to self revert or do I have to revert you? --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 09:34, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What are you even talking about? This is about a helpful link for the reader - the article talks about detention centers in the AANES even if it does not directly mention it. If you want it, I can add references which talk about the AANES directly anyway - these are not difficult to find. However, I really do not understand why we even discuss this, as mentioning the AANES is a overall helpful clarification, not a political statement or anything.

To be sure, I added a source which states that the ISIL prisoners are held "in the Kurdish-administered northeastern Syria" and the "Kurdish-administered areas", i.e. AANES. Applodion (talk) 15:32, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
