[edit] Iraqi dictatorship

Why is the word "dictatorship" in italics? It makes no sense to me. I'm going to remove those italics, I really don't understand why the sentence is there at all, but for now I'll just change the italics. 75.137.117.1 (talk) 19:48, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Poor photo

This photo was removed. It looks like a junk and rock pile. The subject of this photograph is not a swamp. The background may be. Let's find a better photograph. Enternoted 04:00, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I added a different photo that is hopefully more representative of a swamp. The other photo could be moved to an article on junkpiles near swamps. Enternoted 20:29, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I request that we add the biggest wetland in the world "the pantanal" and put some pictures of it.
