Talk:2007 in Iraq

message: I've added some of the information from the main page re: 2007 events as part of an effort to protect the readability of the Iraq War entry, which is, by all accounts, too long.Benzocane 22:51, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Updating May section

message: This page lacks any account at all of US/UK/Iraqi military operations, nor any strategic or tactical matrix in which the chronicle-entries can be understood.  All we have here is a summary of the press' (lazy) reporting, which amounts to tallying up Allied and civilian deaths.  In particular there has been no mention of Baghdad neighborhood-clearing operations (whether failed or successful), or of Operation Arrowhead Ripper in Baquba, in which US military sources claim to have inflicted serious losses on AQI.

replies: text: Hear, hear!  This page is very one-sided, reflecting US/UK reporting.  As well as chronicling the attacks on the US/UK, it should place equal emphasis on attacks by them, and also public sentiment.  Even the term "insurgent" is highly emotive -- the French Resistance and the US revolutionaries were in a similar situation to those trying to resist the occupation, and the term is almost never applied to them.

replies: text: What term do you think is more neutral than "insurgent"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.138.160.15 (talk) 20:04, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Lack of context

message: This is Wikipedia's longest page.  And it's pretty crap.  Nothing but a list and not much else.  I guess the only good thing is that is show how deadly America's war is and what damage they are doing to the world.--Xania talk 02:25, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed. It's so long that that it's not really even worth reading. It's really just a list of every single thing that ever happened that year. Wizardman 05:22, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately, that's because whoever started adding every little detail only got up to May. Had they finished the year it would be nearly 1MB in size. I'd support removing the obviously non-notable stuff before any split. Wizardman 20:25, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: What would you all think of splitting this article by month? So we'd have 12 articles (assuming that the latter month sections are incomplete). - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 20:55, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Record Breaker 

message: I stumbled upon this talk page after noticing an anonymous user adding copious amounts of information to August–December 2007 in Iraq while removing any possible good news.  In my opinion, these edits are in violation of WP:NOTNEWS, WP:NOTSOAPBOX, WP:NOTDIRECTORY and probably WP:NPOV, and I had a hand in reverting those edits at that one article before realizing where it started and that it had been going on for some time.  Those of you who are watching or have posted on this talk page have probably been thinking about this longer than I, so I was wondering if you think this information should even be on Wikipedia.  To be honest, I would probably be in favor of summarizing the information and putting it back together as a single article, and I'd be willing to help, but I was hoping to get some input and maybe reach a consensus.  --jhanCRUSH 07:17, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I would strongly support combining them into one year. Having them split by month is a ridiculous case of recentism, and is one of the issues with the site. Not every news story about Iraq needs to be covered. Even a blank revert to befoe the whole article got blown up would be fine. Wizardman 04:24, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I moved them all back now. We're not paper, but we are certainly not a directory. Wizardman 17:05, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
*http://www.kavkazcenter.com/eng/content/2007/03/07/7642.shtml
*:Triggered by \bkavkazcenter\.com\b on the local blacklist
If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

thread_title:  Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page 

message: Not supported by sources given, contradicts main article on 2007 Yazidi communities bombings. See the talk page there where I note other examples on wikipedia where this 796 number is given (none with sources) but I provide there sources for the number 796.
I'm not sure exactly how to go about changing all this...
