Population[edit]

In the intro to the article the population is listed as 88,023 in 2013. In the data listed on the right side the population for 2013 is listed as 450,000. This is far more than a minor difference in sources, which is correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.137.245.208 (talk) 21:10, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

History section[edit]

What happened between the 8th Century and 2007 in Sinjar? Does the town have no history in more than a millenium? --176.239.67.71 (talk) 07:56, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ezidkhan[edit]

Please stop with adding this. What should others think if we add Turkmeneli as country by Talafar, Tuz Khurmatu, etc.? The region is still part of Iraq, however KRG annexed it year ago. When it comes officialy a part of KRG, we can add Kurdistan as the country/region. Beshogur (talk) 20:06, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

religious pov[edit]

i haven't checked this article in a while but i see it's still being manipulated by the same account (RicoAlv, Rico Alvarez, various IPs) who keeps skewing articles with a pro-yazidi/anti-muslim slant. i've re-added a sourced reference to yazidi reprisal killings he scrubbed some time ago. if anyone has a sensible objection to this i'm all ears.

Delusionalism[edit]

Wrong Information[edit]

>On 14 August 2010, a series of truck bombings by al-Qaeda in Iraq in the towns of Qahtaniya and al-Jazira, both in the Sinjar District, killed 326 Yazidis and injured 530 more.

This is wrong, both Qahtaniya and Al Jazira Complex are in Baaj District. I am not able to update with the correct information. 212.237.121.251 (talk) 10:49, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
