Typo

I don't think i can edit the article but "secratarian" should be sectarian in the second paragraph from last in the intro. Also missing a period after "strategic location" in the last paragraph. Pumpkinbreadhead (talk) 22:20, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Done, thanks. CMD (talk) 01:45, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Homosexuality

As to date homosexuality is criminalized in Iraq with some years in prison RickyBlair668 (talk) 08:19, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

History summarizing

I appreciate the work done in summarizing the history, but going from the mid-8th century to the early 21st within one paragraph seems too brief. As a reader, I expect at least a little more coverage and a paragraph split, so as to not cram over a millennium of history into such a short spiel.

Wrong link

In the second paragraph of "Modern Iraq" it states, " In 1959, Abdel-Wahab al-Saadi led an uprising in Mosul against Qasim." This cannot be correct because it links to the Iraqi General Abdel-Wahab al-Saadi who was only born in 1963. The link should instead be changed to the similarly named Abd al-Wahab al-Shawaf the actual leader of the 1959 Mosul uprising. OneMoron (talk) 03:23, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Done, thanks. CMD (talk) 03:58, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
