Talk:2005 Iraqi constitutional referendum

Table versions
Funny, I put up the first results table, then someone else puts up a nearly-identical one, and mine is the one that gets tossed away. Real good.

 * Yes, and I see my map got bumped too. I rather liked my colour scheme, but admittedly the current map has the advantage of making it quite obvious which were Yes'es and which were No's; and it's also got a legend, which I hadn't bothered to include. So it's all part of Wikipedia's rich pagent. Onward and upward, Quartier Latin   1968  02:31, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Veto requirements
I was reading previously on Wikipedia that it would be rejected if two provinces voted "no". Hum....


 * No, three, and it had to be a supermajority.

Results table
Somebody who isn't supposed to be busy at work can maybe make these BBC data into a table (they're the basis for my map): Yes     No Irbil 	99.36 	0.64 yellow Dahuk 	99.13 	0.87 yellow Sulaimaniya 	98.96 	1.04 yellow Muthanna 	98.65 	1.35 yellow Maysan 	97.79 	2.21 yellow Dhiqar 	97.15 	2.85 yellow Qadisiya 	96.74 	3.32 yellow Kerbala 	96.58 	3.42 yellow Basra 	96.02 	3.98 yellow Najaf 	95.82 	4.18 yellow Wasit 	95.70 	4.3 yellow Babil 	94.56 	5.44 yellow Baghdad 	77.70 	22.3 gold Kirkuk 	62.91 	37.09 light orange Diyala 	51.27 	48.73 dark orange Nineveh 	44.92 	55.08* dark orange Salahuddin 	18.25 	81.75 scarlet Anbar 	3.04 	96.9 dark red (National total 	78.59 	21.41) &mdash; Quartier Latin   1968  17:07, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Would it be possible to find the turnout percentages of each invidual voting district?

I changed the labels on the chart to "Sunni Arab majority" rather than "overwhelmingly sunni arab." I felt that it was inconsistent with "Shi'ite majority" and has connotations that are negative (ie, that sunni arabs are "overwhelming" an area).Pageblank 23:32, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

First Hand Account
I'm not sure if it's something you'd want on this page, but I found this first-hand photo-essay account of the event: [link removed to reduce SEO]... I know some wikis don't like random people adding external links, so I thought I'd post it here first. 158.4.56.6 16:48, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
 * If it fits, then don't worry about asking. They say you are supposed to be "bold" when adding content.  70.120.210.190 16:10, 13 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I do not agree. The policy is different when it comes to external links. - Pernambuco 04:08, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
