Talk:Governorates of Iraq

message: Why switch the names to "governorate"?
#governorate is the official Iraqi naming
#this is more in line with translation of muhafazah in other arab countries
#the term province is usually reserved for wilaya

replies: text: Do other countries have separate articles for subdivisions? I don't see the point of this one as there doesn't seem to be any difference. AndrewRT 12:17, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: When I meant difference, I should have said I dont' see much information within "subdivisions" that isn't in "governorates". I was just trying to tidy up the categories but know you mention the other countries I agree they should be kept separate. Besides another subsection - regions of Iraq will soon be needed!!

message: I believe we need to update to what is the current borders of certain governorates. For example, the Akre region no longer belongs to Nineveh. Instead, it's incorporated with Dohuk []. Chaldean (talk) 08:38, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Nineveh and Dohuk

message: This page is at least inconsistent. The text says that there are 19 governorates and 19 are listed in the bulletized list.  However, the map shows only 18; there is no Halabja. Actually, I do not think that the Government of Iraq accepts Halabja as a governorate ([| Iraqi MOFA]). Instead, it is considered a part of As-Sulaymaniyyah.

message: Regions of Iraq redirects here, but only the Kurdish region already established by §117 in Section 5 of the Iraqi Constitution is mentioned in passing. Have no other federal regions been formed subsequently? — Christoph Päper 11:45, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
