[edit] Category: Assyria

I would like to know why the category Assyria is allowed while category Kurdistan is being removed? Is there exact boundaries for Assyria? As far as I remember that's the main reason given for removing the Kurdistan category. Heja Helweda 22:57, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name change

Has this province been officially rename Kirkuk? If so can I move this article to Kirkuk Governorate? --AndrewRT 12:29, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I was thinking the same. Does anybody have a good source? Valentinian (talk) 19:59, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
I heard that after collapse of Baath regime since April 2003 the governorate was returned to the name Kirkuk. Asoyrun 23:51, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Elections

It was argued that Barzani's troops (Peşmergeler) didn't let Turkmens to vote. They also sent Kurdish people to the city to vote for the Kurdish list. Shouldn't we mention these claims? Deliogul 12:37, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I've heard the allegation too, but personally I would rather mention this is the article about the specific election. AndrewRT(Talk) 18:13, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
At least, don't say that the election was democratic. I live in the most democratic Muslim country in the world and I can say that the election was rubbish. It was a deal between US and Kurdish warlords. Whatever, Iraq is your country... Ruin it if you like. Deliogul 12:23, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
