Oppose - I don't really understand the rationale for this RM. The nom says the name is used frequently in the media, but "Kurdistan Region of Iraq" is a description to aid readers of those media articles in knowing what the subject is. It is not the actual name of the entity. This is similar to how many international media outlets say things like "the US state of Nevada"[5][6] but we obviously don't title our article that, it's just Nevada. As for the the name being unclear, I don't see any other entities called the Kurdistan Region - the Turkish and Syrian areas have other names. And, as Ahmedo says, the simple phrase "Kurdistan Region" is the WP:COMMONNAME for the entity. — Amakuru (talk) 21:20, 14 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Recent edits by user @Modazadi5: seem to have made Kurdistan an independent country, established a central bank and currency, moved the capital, etc. I for one wasn't aware of these developments, nor are there reliable sources supporting any of that. I propose to revert all these edits back to the pre-Feb 6 state, but wanted to discuss first before making such a wholesale reversion. Views? --DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:33, 7 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

In the climate section, the Mediterranean influence on the climate (dry summers) is not directly mentioned (though it is on the page for Erbil, whose climate data table is used here), and the Köppen classification (which I believe is BShCsa typically, and a matter of routine calculation) is not given at all, although this may be because this is the Kurdistan Region page, and such a wide area cannot have a homogenic climate.

@דולב חולב I do not find the mess of ungrammatical and unformatted text that you added an improvement. I also think that, especially as the current wording was already sourced, you should have at least sourced your statement. Uness232 (talk) 05:43, 2 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
But come on, you know from the stats of most of the cities in the region that most of the region has a Mediterranean climate. דולב חולב (talk) 08:05, 2 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
