Important?[edit]

I think electricity in Iraq specifically is an important issue, becuase curently it is under development and in the ground field is influential, it is hindering other sectors development.--Glasszone33 (talk) 06:32, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Baghdad vs. the rest of Iraq "Hours of electricity per day" - Baghdad is not a good prewar vs. postwar measure![edit]

Huffington Post and a number of other sources cite availability of electricity in pre-war and post war Baghdad, but they seem unaware that Baghdad had priority for distribution prior to the war. So while the country as a whole got 4-8 hours, Baghdad got 16-24 hours. Now things are much more even. So anyone editing this article, if you want to give a sense of the availability vs. demand, please be sure to cite for the country as a whole, not just Baghdad.

project wikify[edit]

Made a major edit as part of Project:Wikify's March Drive. This article was already in fairly good shape, excellent references and so on. Most of what I did was add/edit/update internal links, some minor wikicode compliance edits, and a couple of NPOV changes. This site could still use some attention from experts on both Iraq and on power generation/distro, but as I see it's already tagged for the attention be the relevant wikiproject groups ill leave such matters in their hands.
