I have a question about the Syriacs in Al-Hasakah. How many are there? What organizations are there in that region? The fact is that although many are adherents to the Syriac Orthadox/Catholic Churches majority (my assumption over 90%) call themselves Assyrian which is what their ethnicity is.
How old are you, seriously? and you still haven't given me at least one source of what the article states about the Aramaen-Syriac population in Al-Hasakah. And please stop posting baseless responses. Malik Danno (talk) 14:54, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
But seriously, you are funny. How about you showing a source for your statement, were you say that 90% of all Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholics call themselves Assyrian? The TriZ (talk) 01:49, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Do you know how to read? I said "my ASSUMPTION", but the difference is that I do say my assumption while you guys make ur assumptions and turn them as facts on Wikipedia...assumptions dont need sources, saying assumptions like facts do...If you dont give me a source for Syriac-Aramean populations in the various Syrian cities then I will report all of them...Your next post better be a source
P.S. i hope that you know they Assyrian vs. Syriac vs. Chaldean thing is only in the diaspora, its not prevelant in our homeland.
Please report everything you find, I'm not wasting more time than I already have with you. Yes it is only in the diaspora cause everyone in the homeland calls themselves Syriacs and proudly wears the Syriac flag, you can easily search for that in youtube. And also, let me just say that it was a very funny "assumption", I got a good laugh out of it, so thanks for that. The TriZ (talk) 21:44, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Any actual source on there being a Kurdish majority...?
Hi, I used the the German language page to expand the English language version. The page still lacks in line citation but this seems to fill at least some of the gaps in this page. Please feel free to contribute sources. ThanksMonopoly31121993 (talk) 10:09, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also removing the article "al-" from transliterated Arabic proper names is a common practice, e.g. al-Iraq -> Iraq, al-Sudan -> Sudan, etc. Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 10:45, 20 August 2014 (UTC) Kathovotalk09:23, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The results above for "Hasaka" (of which I get 98) include 29 results for "al-Hasaka", and I get 49 hits for "al-Hasakah" not 23, so it looks about evenly split on that basis. More evidence of common name needs to be provided before I would support. DrKiernan (talk) 13:18, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I highly doubt that this town still looks like this after 4 years of civil war and clashes between the YPG and the regime forces just 2 days ago. Guy355 (talk) 16:20, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The Federation of Northern Syria - Rojava is not autonomous. It is not recognized by the US, EU, Turkey, Iran, Russia or the Syrian Assad Regime. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.74.186.109 (talk) 06:09, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
On 23 August 2016 an agreement between YPG and Syrian Army let Al-Hasakah be freed completely from Government forces.[17][18] The map on Commons says that there is a Syrian Army controlled "security box" in Hasakah. Is it true? And If how does it fit to the statement in this article? --2A02:908:C30:3680:E491:8422:4630:BFF (talk)
Adding the so-called rojava template and categories in towns and villages under military occupation by YPG militias militia does not change that official status. This is an on-going military conflict and any iterim control (YPG, ISIS, FSA) does not mean a change in the political status of the village/town. I am moving to remove these categories (rojava, cantons, IS, etc). Comments are welcome. Thanks. Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 01:02, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Adding an article to category neither confers nor relies upon any official status. It is significant that Al-Hasakah etc are currently governed within the Rojava framework, as other places are run by ISIS, and categorizing them as such should not offend anyone, IMHO. Batternut (talk) 09:43, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The simple fact that a place is controlled by militants of a certain military group does not grant that area a geographic or political affiliation. This is where I disgree with the category rojava, as the military situation on the ground is changing everyday, does this mean a town is part of rojava today and part of another entity tomorrow? By this token, is a town like Nablus part of Israel since it is under military occupation? I will be fine with a category like "Areas under military control of PYD" or something along these lines. Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 01:20, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Al-Hasakah has been under YPG/Rojava control for long enough that WP:Recentism doesn't apply. Being in category 'Rojava' is reasonable simply because the place is under Rojava control (regardless of whether the inhabitants or others like it or not).
Regarding your suggested "Areas under military control of PYD" category, the PYD is neither a country nor an army. Nablus is in category Israeli-occupied territories, and Israel does not claim that the West Bank is part of Israel. The borders of Rojava are not widely accepted, so arguing about what might be in Rojava and what is merely occupied by Rojava is unlikely to be resolvable. Batternut (talk) 11:26, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Rojava denotes a de facto existing distinct framework of civil governance in distinct parts of Northern Syria, there are 5 Million Google hits for it including all major English language media, and this is what the entire Rojava article on the Wikipedia is about. You may personally dislike anything about this sentence, or the well-sourced elaboration of facts in the Rojava article and in other articles, but your dislike is no valid reason to delete related material from the Wikipedia. -- 2A1ZA (talk) 21:10, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User @2017NewYearNewMe: has just created Hasakah Security Box and linked it to this and other articles. Does this thing still exist or was it just a temporary state, and is it sufficiently notable to warrant an article? Googling Hasakah "Security Box" gets 85 hits (ignore the 'About 1,970 results' ).

I have just modified 2 external links on Al-Hasakah. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Al-Hasakah's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡13:35, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Konli17, Vanly (1992) the source clearly says "Hasak is an Arab town with growing Kyrdish population". page 116. Stop removing relevant content from a highly reliable source used elsewhere. Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 19:19, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Amr, you're just plain wrong again, according to my search results. P17, that was in 2014. The common name for many Syrian places has changed over the course of the war. Also, we tend not to use the 'al' prefix for placenames. Konli17 (talk) 10:27, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
