Federal Parliamentary Republic

I cannot confidently say which placement is ideal, nor do I intend to make any change by myself, but I wish to address that it seems a bit redundant to state twice in the opening of the article that Iraq is a federal parliamentary republic. Ferocious Flying Ferrets 14:47, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

The word "reserves" is currently misspelled as "resrves" in the last paragraph of the introductory section. I believe that sentence is also missing a "the" to change "Iraq has third largest oil resrves in the world after Venezuela and Saudi Arabia." to "Iraq has the third largest oil reserves in the world after Venezuela and Saudi Arabia."

Iraq has third largest oil resrves in the world after Venezuela and Saudi Arabia.

Article size

Is it time to condense the article? Per Xtools it's over 14,000 words; when I pasted the text contents into Word, it reported over 15,000. WP:Article size suggests that past 9,000 words condensation is worth considering, and that past 15,000 it probably ought to be done. My own rule of thumb is that it's time to chop an article down when the browser freezes on me repeatedly when I try to edit it on my laptop (Chrome on Windows 10) and I have to switch to source editing. That just happened to me here. Largoplazo (talk) 18:32, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Spelling mistake

Civil war is misspelt as civial war. My account's not old enough to fix it. Isaachhh (talk) 22:25, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Fixed, thanks. Largoplazo (talk) 22:44, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
