Proposed Iraqi constitution

[edit]
Nominated on 03:06, 28 August 2005 (UTC); needs 15 votes by 17 September 2005.

this constitution and its process and its success or failure are of vital to the future and balance of the middle east and international power. the article is currently a stub!! i'd like to see people work together to make this article strong. It should be more comprehensive, like Constitution of Afghanistan.

Comment:

  • Shouldn't we wait until it becomes the Iraqi constitution and then write an article? Info on the proposed constitution should be placed into the Post-invasion Iraq, 2003–2005 article or something. But hey, that's just me. Let's see what other people have to say.

    • This is going to be one of the biggest news stories from now until the referendum on October 15, and the current article is little more than a stub. - SimonP 16:36, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
      • KNewman, we can't sit and wait for it to pass before we write about this proposed constitution. it might not ever get passed. iraq might fall into a civil war. three different groups are vying for power, and this proposed constitution is where these power struggles are currently playing out. the U.S. media is doing a terrible job at informing people what the groups are arguing over and what the proposals say. we have an opportunity here to (once again) get a thorough account of the story before the mainstream media does so. i'd write the article myself, but i'd really like to get a group of people working on it. i've never participated in a sanctioned collaboration like this. i'd like to see how the experience works. as i stated before, the success or failure of this constitution will have tremendous influence over international relations in the future. we have to opportunity to document it as it happens.

  • I think having a good article on this topic in the next week or two would be a major score for Wikipedia. A lot of people are going to come here looking for this information. -- Beland 03:06, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is precisely the sort of article that Wikipedia can excel at.--Pharos 05:12, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
