Spelling[edit]

Is Arbil or Erbil used more in English? What we shouldn't do is use both interchangeably, because that's confusing. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:08, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As always when it comes to spelling and names I think we should follow Wikipedia's spelling (for consistency throughout all Wikimedia sites) unless we have a good reason not to. So in this case it'd be Erbil. And as Arbil, Irbil and Hawler per WP are common names for the city, I think we should have redirects from these. Just my 2 cents.

I'm OK with that. Anyone object to renaming the article and changing all the spellings of the name in the article accordingly? Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:11, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I was in Erbil last month and from my experience, the most common spelling is Erbil. So I would recommend changing to that.Davidbstanley (talk) 21:39, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Done, with the name also changed in the text. Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:59, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That is the City that I live in and that is correct it is commonly called Erbil... Sarbast.T.Hameed (talk) 12:41, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jalil Khayat Mosque[edit]

Mentioned twice as the largest mosque, two different points? —The preceding comment was added by dlolw (talkcontribs)

The two listings just needed merging together; they were clearly about the same mosque. Thanks for bringing it up.ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 08:49, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The second one is used, and since the reason is no freedom of panorama, we need to save this locally if we want to keep it. It's not a great photo; what do you think? It still seems useful. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:48, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:04, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There are other images of the mosque in the category (Commons:Category:Jalil Al Khayat Mosque). Is this the one we want to keep? –LPfi (talk) 06:35, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If you like another one better, please substitute as long as it has no watermarks. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:51, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have any specific preferences, I just noted you said it was "not great". Easier to choose now, before they are deleted. –LPfi (talk) 09:04, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that by far the best photo has a watermark on it. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:27, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
However, I'll upload another one and delete this one. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:29, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
