359: 341: 313: 297: 979:! In regard to the battle, there are some undeniable facts about the battle: 1) TFSA captured the city (even though it was a withdrawal) so it would make no sense indicating anything that implied the SDF gained from this battle (putting "stalemate" indicates that it preserved the status quo) 2) SDF withdrew rather than military defeat inflicted by TFSA but still they captured the city. I don't know how to settle this issue, as in a way "Turkish Armed Forces and Allies victory" is accurate because Turkey did win and the city was captured. Also there is precedent as 441: 423: 281: 166: 451: 1055: 61: 238: 227: 216: 205: 32: 124: 92: 772:. So pick one. Third final note, I'm not gonna revert you due to 1RR but keep in mind next time that changes are made after the discussion. You've made the change right after opening a discussion about it an reverted me saying wait for discussion to be over. Well what's the point of the discussion if you are gonna make undiscussed change anyway? 1120: 1028:- I mean my point was that you should have as much information there for the user as possible. So a simple "Victory" is deceptive. I think the multiple results would be good, though I'm not sure about "Military stalemate, Turkish-FSA strategic victory" how about "Militarily inconclusive, Turkish-FSA strategic victory"? 194: 704:
There is current debate going on over whether this was a stalemate or a victory for Turkish allied forces. Please discuss here. SDF forces withdrew because of the ceasefire, however, They were under a lot of pressure from the Turkish forces. Personally I think the result "SDF Withdrawal" is a fitting
935:
Yes, but its also not a *military victory*. I agree, the end result is the same, but simply calling it a victory is *deceptive* in the way it describes what happenned.The implication is that Turkey defeated the Kurds - they didn't. IMHO its deceptive and innacurate by summarising the result without
919:
Sorry but what kind of a nonsense is this? Its a clear victory for the Turkish side. If you withdraw from a town due to an agreement, its an victory for the other side, no matter if it was an cease fire deal. The town was under siege and they had two options left. This is an clear victory, not a

843:, see its result? Yes, SDF withdrew, you can include that under a note. When it comes to "Result" you have to pick a "Result". Victory-Draw-Defeat. You can't write a result saying. "SDF withdrew". I don't want to go on with this pointless discussion please self revert already and 747:- the ownership was decided by "negotiation" between the US/SDF and Turkey, at which point they had to pull back to the 30klm zone, and so leave the town. It wasn't a military victory, The TFSA took the town only after the SDF left because they were required to. 720:
Knowledge infobox result is set on 3 outcomes. Victory, Inconclusive and Defeat. The Turkish side achieved all of their objectives in the battle and captured the town in a week and a half. The SDF withdrawal did not change the outcome of the battle.
838:
That was a war, this is a battle about a town. Which was captured. I don't know how you come to the conclusion that this was anything but a Victory for the side who captured the town. Here is a battle that ended similar (and not 200 years ago)
288: 102: 610:
4th link is dead - Looks like editorialized titles in some articles and US and Russian Presidents calling it an invasion does not make it such. The term invasion was discussed in the original article ultimately opposing its inclusion.
1127:, these are in the templates at the bottom of the article already, and both are already linked in the article, a "see also" section is for articles that are not referenced already within the article but may be of interest/relevances. 725:
should wait for a discussion to end before making a change, I've reverted the edit. Also, no source states that this did not result in a a Turkish Victory. Furthermore the "debate" was an undiscussed change by new account with 2
304: 106: 806:"SDF withdrawal" seems better than Stalemate to me, it more accurately indicates they withdrew because of the ceasefire, as opposed to A Victory status for Turkey, which implies they won through military means. 42: 320: 110: 882:, which I support. Turkey didn't win the battle milatarily, it was won via negotiation, as part of the ceasefire. I would support "Draw" or simply result "SDF withdraws from Town as part of Ceasefire. 1166: 1161: 682:, but you appear to have a history of edit warring and you have removed various parts of this page without discussion. I ask you again, will you please desist from editing this article? 1176: 1171: 179: 136: 1087: 165: 976: 1211: 501: 1196: 1186: 1156: 991:
list multiple results to indicate the tactical/strategic solution (so for this battle it would be: "Military stalemate, Turkish-FSA strategic victory"),
399: 571: 987:. Thus I won't necessarily challenge the current state of the article, but I will propose one potential replacement. Articles on some battles like 561: 1181: 507: 405: 131: 97: 1216: 140: 1201: 802:) 13:53, 9 November 2019 (UTC). So there are a number of status's proposed "Victory" "Stalemate" and SDF withdrawal. I would agree with 995:
this could be good for the article but I don't see problem with current state due to what actually happened and Knowledge standards.

It wasn't a military stalemate, read the article. SDF was fully sieged in the town before agreeing to withdraw.
