Foreign relations of Iraqi Kurdistan → Foreign relations of Kurdistan Region – "Iraqi Kurdistan" is a geographical term refering to the Kurdish area in Iraq. Not all of "Iraqi Kurdistan" is under Kurdish control, therefore its misleading and plain wrong to call this article "Iraqi Kurdistan". Ahmedo Semsurî (talk) 13:10, 2 April 2017 (UTC) --Relisting.

Keep - We need consistency of names of main articles (here Iraqi Kurdistan) and specialized articles (here Foreign relations of Iraqi Kurdistan). For name of main article see Talk:Iraqi Kurdistan/Archive 2#Article name. Jan CZ (talk) 09:32, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We can keep the consistency if we change all the titles concerning "Iraqi Kurdistan". Why keep something we all know is misleading? --Ahmedo Semsurî (talk) 10:44, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Bilateral relations" section needs some editing.

A few examples:

"In 2004 was reported about the meetings of Israeli officials with Kurdish political leaders when Massoud Barzani, Jalal Talabani and the former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon publicly confirmed the good relations of Israel and Iraqi Kurdistan." - Does not make sense, wrong Grammar.

"Kurdistan and South Korea share strong diplomatic and economic relations as well as military support from the Korean Armed Forces." - 'Kurdistan and South Korea' military support from the Korean Armed Forces? No, 'Kurdistan receives military support from the Korean Armed Forces' is what the author meant, but wrote in a confusing way.

"The best example of the Kurdistan Region's evolving relations with its neighbors is its relationship with Turkey." - Seems unnecessary and does not fit in with normal Wikipedia style, in my opinion.

"Currently the United States has official policy towards the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq." - Bad Grammar, but also unnecessary, what does this sentence achieve? It adds no information.

"US Kurdish policy starting initially with "contacts" to a covert "relationship" and finally to an overt "institutionalized relationship" embodied in an official US Kurdish policy." - It's not obvious what the author wants to say in this sentence, badly written, complex wording for no apparent reason.

I fixed 2 other wording issues that I saw, but I don't have a nice way to rewrite the ones here. Phantom147 (talk) 20:22, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
