Dohuk Riots[edit]

Over the weekend there was an Islamic inspired riots all over northern Iraqi province of Dohuk. There is already a wikipedia page on it, and I think that it must also be mentioned here as it is a recent islamic inspired movement in the Kurdish region.

Merge[edit]

A long time ago someone proposed a merger of this article and 2011 Sulaymaniyah protests, I would like to pledge my support in that they are essentially the same topic. Charles Essie (talk) 20:26, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree. As far as I am concerned, the information in 2011 Sulaymaniyah protests should be used to flesh out the Sulaymaniyah section, after which the article can simply be made into a redirect.--ZarlanTheGreen (talk) 13:54, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That is what I tried to do with this version. I think it pretty much covers everything that 2011 Sulaymaniyah protests covered with the exception of the issues listed below. If none has any objections I think we should just use that version. ~ Zirguezi 19:15, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Admittedly the tags been up there for two years (I thought there had been one earlier, and the that's up now, was recently put there by Charles Essie, due to a misinterpretation of his mere modification of it. My bad. Sorry about that), but given that there has been a few comments on it now, it might get a bit of attention (admittedly, I think it unlikely). I'd say we should wait a few more days, to see if there is any other reaction, just to be on the safe side. If there is none, you can re-do the merge.--ZarlanTheGreen (talk) 19:47, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
All right, despite my support the merge, I have nothing against more consensus. Charles Essie (talk) 20:01, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
After two weeks with no one giving unput I've merged the two articles again. ~ Zirguezi 20:32, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merger[edit]

I'm currently in the process of merging the two articles. There are however a lot of uncited information in this article. Also some of the information conflicts with that of 2011 Sulaymaniyah protests. Issues:

  • This articles states that the shooting that killed the teenager happened on 21 Feb while the Reuters reports it happened on the 17th of Feb.
  • This article also states: "Twenty-nine people throughout Iraq were killed, many of them in the Kurdish region." and then it cites three sources none of which make that claim the deaths happened in the Kurdistan region.
  • This article also claims that the 2011 Dohuk riots were part of this protest. As far as see this was a separate incident that wasn't related to the anti-gov't protest that this article describes.

I've taken out the unsourced information for now. and I think the merger is now complete which means 2011 Sulaymaniyah protests can be deleted. ~ Zirguezi 09:36, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted the merger. A merger was suggested and should be discussed. Not just implemented right away, just because you, personally, agree with it. Wikipedia is run by consensus, not individual editors taking matters into their own hands, because they feel that they are right. Others may disagree. What reason do you have to ignore them? Overrule them perhaps, but only after a proper discussion where you listen to their arguments and only if you are backed by consensus.--ZarlanTheGreen (talk) 13:48, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Please see your talkpage about this: User_talk:ZarlanTheGreen#2011_Sulaymaniyah_protests ~ Zirguezi 19:15, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I take back what I said above ...after realising that the merger was not recent, but two years old.--ZarlanTheGreen (talk) 19:49, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
