thread_title: No title

message: I had found two books lying around in my house talking about the Republic of Mahabad. I added some information on the event itself and its reasons for failure. I hope I didn't mess up the topic to badly, I didn't realize how contreversal it was until I read the talk page MercZ 07:01, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some new information 

message: The name of the republic was in fact Komari Kurdistan (Republic of Kurdistan) not the Mahabad Republic.
:But in literature u find it under Republic of Mahabad. So move the article? --134.147.39.4 01:24, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why was the name changed back to Republic of Mahabad, it's official name is the Republic of Kurdistan.  --D.Kurdistani 09:54, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I see no citation that either name is official - not that it matters. The most common name should be used. See how United States is not United States of America (long official version is a redirect) . A quick dirty Google check (Mahabad vs Kurdistan) shows Mahabad is slightly more popular. --  Cat chi? 10:11, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Flag of the republic 

message: Official name which was Republic of Kurdistan is added. Mahabad was just its capital. the name republic of Mahabad is used both by Kurdish and non-Kurdish historians just to avoid confusion with other Kurdish movements. Yasvoniaj (talk) 12:24, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  CN tag 

message: Do we have any sources for the flag currently used on this page other than the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan website? I think it's possible a flag more similar to the present Kurdish flag was used for the Mahabad Republic, see , and this photo appears to show a more circular emblem in the center, though it may be the DPIK logo  Thespündragon 21:22, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Flag of the Republic 

message: Hi, 
I would like to add the following text to the article in the form of a new paragraph that should be inserted at the very end of the article in the Aftermath section; this new paragraph will present one of the consequences of the Republic of Mahabad which was that the movement of Kurdish independence gained new supporters in the artistic (especially literary) fields and would become one of the most popular subjects in the artistic pieces created during the decade of the 1950s; naturally, I included a new bibliographic source in the form of a essay published by Uppsala University: 
In a cultural context, the aftermath of the Republic of Mahabad can be said to have propelled the movement for Kurdish autonomy forward as a theme in the literary and artistic fields as it would become one of the favorite subjects of some of the most prolific regional Kurdish artists starting the following decade who produced artistic works, mostly literary, where the theme of Kurdish autonomy dominated; this in turn spurred the formation of new artistic and intellectual movements which would popularize the movement among the general population and produce new generations more supportive of the prospect of Kurdish independence.
After this, I propose a new bibliographic source be added to the article which I am sure would do much to strengthen the facts presented in the Background section: This first source I think should be inserted right after source number 10, by Allain (2004), at the end of the third sentence of the Background section: 
And, also, I would like to update the bibliographic source by Meiselas (1997) with the following entry as the source as it is right now is extremely incomplete, I added a newer edition of the book with editors, place of publication, collaborators, chapter title, language and series: 
 
I would also like to update the very first source that is listed in the References list, it has no author but it is a journal article titled "The Republic of Kurdistan: Fifty Years Later"; next is what I think should replace it, it contains author, editor, publisher, issn, issue number, place of publication, pages and the full date: 
 
Thanks in advance and have a wonderful day,
