message: 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)

message: 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)

message: User  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' ).

message: 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.

message: 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)
replies: text: Key word there is "growing", Amr. A 28-year-old reference isn't going to cut it. Konli17 (talk) 19:39, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

text: Yes, I understood. You can use that quote in the article, as long as you date it. Konli17 (talk) 19:57, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

message: I propose moving this article to Hasakah, dropping the 'Al' prefix, as this is the WP:COMMONNAME for the city. Konli17 (talk) 23:46, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose. The common name is al-Hasakah. Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 03:10, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

text: 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)
