The headings at the top all link to Danish sites. Is this some oversight or bizarre revenge for the Mohammed cartoon controversy? Dabbler 21:15, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm terrible sorry, it was because I copied the background thing from the Danish portal :-) I'll fix it immediately -- Snailwalker |talk 21:43, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's fixed now -- Snailwalker |talk 21:51, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This article was nominated for a speedy as patent nonsense. It isn't patent nonsense but a proposal for Assyrian Regional Government. It has three internal links going to it. I have listed for Prod so as to give five days for someone to work on it. I would be grateful for any advice as to whether it could be made into a decent article.

From my understanding of recent news, Maliki and his cabinet have now been sworn in, which apparently means the transitional period is over. I am going to search for some primary source saying this before making appropriate edits. --Cam 14:11, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It seems the usual editors may be a bit slow off the mark. I saw that 2008 in Iraq had not been created, 10 days into the year. It now has and I've also created the category2008 in Iraq. Cheers Dick G (talk) 04:53, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I had some questions on the talk page of Iraq that should be answered by you. Just that's why I wrote here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ferike333 (talk • contribs) 08:40, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to invite editors to comment at RfC proposal on Iraqi Kurdistan's level of autonomy, essentially resolving whether Iraqi Kurdistan should or shouldn't be added to the "other Dependent territories" under Asia topic.GreyShark (dibra) 18:10, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
