[edit] Autonomous oblast?

This entity did not have a status of autonomy. It was called Red Kurdistan Uyezd, and later Red Kurdistan Okrug. So it did not have a status of an Oblast. I attach an accuracy tag for the moment, but this error should be corrected and the article moved to a correct title. Grandmaster 13:21, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Kurdistan Uyezd? Weren't uyezds abolished by 1923? -- Aivazovsky 16:41, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

According to sources, Kurdistan uyezd was created in 1923, and for a short period it was renamed to Kurdistan Okrug, which lasted from May thru July 1930. Grandmaster 06:23, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps Kurdistan Okrug would be a better name for it as it was the final name for the administrative unit. -- Aivazovsky 12:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Maybe, but another thing is that it only existed as an Okrug for about 2 months, and lasted much longer as uyezd. Grandmaster 12:34, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
