Merge

This merge request was placed here when the article was just started. I think the information is too detailed to merit including in the main Iraq article. AndrewRT(Talk) 22:26, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Federal Government of Iraq

As the author of this article, I dont think that Federalism in Iraq is the same at all as Federal government of Iraq.

Federalism is a political programme which promotes a constitutionally divided responsibilities between a central government and federal units. In the context of unitary states as Iraq used to be, federalism is a programme that seeks to create federal units underneath. This is a current live debate, with plenty of reliable sources with details of the current issues and progress surrounding it. I think it deserves its own article.

The article Federal government of Iraq is a valid article and a welcome and important addition to the encyclopedia. However, it doesn;t cover the same subject and it is inappropriate to go into so much detail about this subject in that article. AndrewRT(Talk) 11:58, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As the one who redirected, I have no opinion - someone had placed a prod tag, but noted that the content had been merged. Since articles that have had content merged into other articles shouldn't be deleted, but only redirected, I went ahead and made the redirect. --Reuben (talk) 17:21, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No probs Reuban. Hopefully the person who put the prod tag on will engage here. AndrewRT(Talk) 23:31, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think a separate article would probably contribute positively to the overall quality of Wikipedia, so by all means proceed. Although the articles are somewhat interdependent, my merge might have been a bit premature. Int21h (talk) 23:40, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Other initiatives

I notice that the sections on the Basrah initiative and referendum and other mooted proposals have been removed, saying they are now redundant. [1] Given that this is an article about Federalism in Iraq as a concept, I still think it's valid to include information about proposals that have, as yet, been unsuccessful, so I would like to reinstate. I do, of course, accept that they need to be updated and largely re-written. I'd also like to add information about the recent vote in Salaheddin [2].

Rather than just insert it again, I'd like to have a debate about whether it's appropriate. What do you think? AndrewRT(Talk) 15:34, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I missed this after all these years.. Yes, it is valid, and it is desirable. A history of the proposals is a fundamental insight into the subject. This information should be re-added. Int21h (talk) 07:28, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Regions

"Regions of Iraq" redirects here. I was expecting to find a list of their names, and a map. -- Beland (talk) 00:06, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed the redirect. Kmusser (talk) 21:08, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
