to point out that based on the current article sizes the resulting article will be close to or slightly exceed the recommended article size limit   Oppose merger  The Mesopotamia article could do with some expansion in several sections while the History of Ancient Mesopotamia article could as well but mainly would suffer greatly if downsized  A merger makes no sense based on article size  Wikipedia has is fair share History of articles  I cant see a reason to get rid of it  shrug   Oppose merger Articles that try to cover too much become long and overly complicated to read Basically I like the Mesopotamia article Although it could benefit from some expansion and clarification it is a good summary article    the point is that as the ToC was organized the history article is the main article of about  of this article That doesnt make sense Maybe change history to timeline and make this one the ancient Mesopotamia article    You are probably right I am just learning about Mesopotamia through reading these articles and I found this article the most helpful to me of the ones I have come across so far I have not read all of them but some are almost incomprehensible to an uninformed person      Map   We need a better map for this article The current one doesnt even include Eridu   Eridu is seven miles from Ur There is only so much detail you can cram into a thumbnail overview map But you are welcome to fire up the GIMP of course     A map of Mesopotamia with the current political boundaries would be beneficial in giving people a better understanding of its location      Bibliography  Can this article be extended with a list of wellknown standard works on Mesopotamia and its history Would be nice thanks   Law examples   On this page under Laws there were about  examples of laws from the Code of Hammurabi I have moved them to the article Code of Hammurabi since I think that is their proper place I really think that article should contain the entire set of laws since it is not so big and I will probably make an effort to do this but not right now If someone else feel the urge it would be greatly appreciated The entire set can be found here   English translation of the code  My regards Dennis Nilsson        Enlil   Under the section on Mesopotamian gods it is stated that Enlil is the most important god in the Mesopotamian region I believe that statement is somewhat misleading To my knowledge over the thousands of years of Mesopotamian history that honor changed hands quite a few times depending on what particular group held power It should either be qualified or changed if I have some time later I will try to come up with a more constructive suggestion for changing it but for now I wanted to pose it to discussion group to make sure I wasnt just splitting hairs Any thoughts     Games   I doubt that Cuniform was fun too in the  Games section is quite up to the finest quality one could hope in such a page Could someone consider this   Textbook   HUGE parts of this article looks as if its been copy right out of a textbook Especially the Religion part Could someone fix this     wiki spam  There was some wiki spam in this that I took out  It was somehow triggered or near this code see the source under edit of this page  which I couldnt get to reproduce   Scheffler Thomas   Fertile crescent Orient Middle East the changing mental maps of Souhwest Asia European Review of History   Also Bahrani Zainab  Conjuring Mesopotamia imaginative geography and a world past in Archaeology under fire Nationalism politics and heritage in the Eastern Mediteranean and Middle East L Meskell ed Routledge London and New York  N
