Comments:
- I can see the purpose in having a project working on articles relating to Iraq, but why limit the project to only articles relating to Iraq since the war started? Many of those same articles will clearly have content related to pre-war Iraq as well. Also, so far as I can tell, there is no project specifically dealing with Iraq as a whole.

- I agree with John Carter. I have been thinking of proposing the creation of a WikiProject Iraq. Iraq War-related articles would obviously be included. Cattus 20:42, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- There is now a Wikipedia:WikiProject Iraq. Chris 16:07, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Will some of you comment on my merger proposal for: 1920 Revolution Brigade, Iraqi National Islamic Resistance, and Islamic Resistance Movement (Iraq)? Palm_Dogg 18:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Bilateral relations discussion
I would like to invite you all to participate in a discussion at this thread regarding bilateral relations between two countries. All articles related to foreign relations between countries are now under the scope of WikiProject Foreign relations, a newly created project. We hope that the discussion will result in a more clean and organized way of explaining such relationships. Thank you. Ed ¿Cómo estás? 18:14, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Hood event GA sweeps review: On Hold
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the requirements of the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Conflicts, battles and military exercises" articles. I have recently reviewed Hood event and have determined that it is in very good shape but need some assistance to remain a GA. I have put the article on hold for seven days until the issues on the talk page of the article are addressed. I wanted to mention it here so that members of the project, if interested, could assist in improving the article and help it to remain a GA. It currently has a few problems concerning the citation templates & needs only a few more inline citations. Additionally, I will be leaving messages on other WikiProjects and editors affiliated with the page to increase the number of participants assisting in the workload.
If you have any questions about what I've said here, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I hope members here assist in addressing the issues within the article, and keep up the good work in improving articles on Wikipedia! --Nehrams2020 02:45, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks Nehrams for letting us know. I'll have a look at the article altough I don't think that I familiar with that particular issue--Aziz1005 02:32, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
grammar
All of the Iraqi diaspora pages appear to have been written by the same person as a lot of the same mistakes are repeated. "Descent" indicates motion. The act of going down. "Decent" means adequate. 'There' indicates a location. "My shoes are over there". 'Their' indicates posession. "Their shoes are over there." 'They're' is a contraction of They + are. "They're going over there to get their shoes."

A proposal to move "Civil war in Iraq" to "Sectarian violence in Iraq" is inconclusive after five days. It has been proposed that outside opinions should be sought in order to further the discussion. You are welcome to comment here. Thank you.--victor falk 11:15, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Execution of Saddam Hussein -> FA
I've got a project proposal to help get Execution of Saddam Hussein to featured status by the one year anniversary of the article's creation. You can read the details here. Any help, especially from WikiProject Iraq members would be greatly appreciated! ~ UBeR (talk) 06:46, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Deletion discussion: diaspora /refugees
Would anyone with more knowledge of all things Iraqi care to comment on the current proposal to delete or merge the substubs dealing with numerically tiny Iraqi diaspora/refugee populations (e.g. in Bulgaria and Ireland)? Go to Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Iraqi_Armenian. --Paularblaster (talk) 00:43, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
