Use <s> and </s> (aka. strikeout) when each of these are done:
One thing that I think would be extremely relevant would be a timeline of important events; they have much of the information needed for it in the article itself, but it would be easier to read and comprehend if it was contained in a timeline. I also think it should clarify whether there are still U.S. troops in Iraq and what their purpose is there if they are still occupying parts of Iraq. --Tarzane (talk) 04:03, 11 September 2012 (UTC) Update/correct civilian casualties. Estimates off by several hundred thousand. Ideally use a source other than a media article. |

Lancet survey
Given the near-universal agreement by government bodies and scientific observers that it's an inaccurate study, why is it till listed in the casualty box? The other estimates are much closer to each other and have much more solid support by various professionals. 69.121.144.8 (talk) 16:11, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Not a WAR
Congress never declared war against Iraq so this needs to be called Iraq Invasion or Iraq Police Action — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.33.195.254 (talk) 04:14, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Australia: 2,000 or 22,000?
Someone changed the Australian involvement from 2,000 to 22,000 in the summary but not in the later text -- without leaving a reference (and identifying themselves only with an IP address). Sadly, the only citation I could find was a broken link. I will revert this recent change. I hope that someone can find a working link -- or the the broken link magically fixes itself (e.g., by a server returning to service). DavidMCEddy (talk) 08:32, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
