Need to update military figures[edit]

Compare "The Iraqi Navy is a small force with 1,500 sailors and officers, including 800 Marines, designed to protect shoreline and inland waterways from insurgent infiltration. The navy is also responsible for the security of offshore oil platforms. The navy will have coastal patrol squadrons, assault boat squadrons and a marine battalion.[96] The force will consist of 2,000 to 2,500 sailors by year 2010.[98]" to "As of February 2011, the navy has approximately 5000 sailors and marines which form an Operational headquarters, 5 afloat squadrons, and two marine battalions.[1]" I see no value to having a prediction from 2007 over far more recent and accurate actual recent figures.

"had risen to 11th place"[edit]

When it was previously numbered 7th, I think "had dropped" would be a more appropriate phrase. 2A02:1810:4D34:DC00:C421:D27F:537:E61E (talk) 17:06, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Local Government in Iraq[edit]

Looking at the administrative divisions of Iraq, I see that there are provinces, districts, and subdistricts. But, does Iraq have municipal/local government for its cities and towns? Or are all settlements governed at the subdistrict and district level? There needs to be at least a sentence or two added onto the page about this if it is the latter. If it is the former, there needs to probably be an article on this, or at least a good paragraph of two detailing the aspects of municipal government in Iraq. There is a page of for List of cities in Iraq and List of places in Iraq, but they do not detail what exactly is being measured (i.e. settlements, urban areas, municipal council areas/local governments, etc...) --Criticalthinker (talk) 16:39, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Also known as Irak[edit]

Iraq is also called Irak. See http://www.thefreedictionary.com/irak . This should be mentioned at the beginning of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrincodi (talkcontribs) 21:40, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
