Uncited map
Dear Editors, the map in the info box has “Show map of Iraqi Kurdistan”, according to whom or what is this map?.--Abu aamir (talk) 09:36, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Wrong info
According to info in pages 119-120 of Assyrian Rulers of the Early First Millennium BC I (1114-859 BC) of A. Kirk Grayson following info in this wiki page is wrong. According to this book, the King of Assyria was Ashurnasilpal II but not I and "after crossing Tigris" he made his way to banks of the Euphrates. To reach the city of Amadia he shouldn't cross Tigris and make his way to banks of the Euphrates. I checked the reference 11 of the Wiki page (Luckenbill, Daniel David (1989). Ancient Records of Assyria and Babylonia, Volume I: Historical Records Of Assyria From The Earliest Times To Sargon. Histories & Mysteries of Man. pp. 140, 141, 184.) The wrong info below is from the page of 184 of this book and It begins with this title from page 183: Year 18. Against Kutmuhu (Commagene) and Zamani (Col. III, ll. 92-113). It is clear the city "Amedi" is not "Amadiya" but "Amed/Diyarbakir".

Wrong info from Wiki page: "against the Nairi lands I marched. The city of Barzani their property, their goods, their oxen, their sheep (to tells and) ruins I turned. The head(s) of their fighters (I smashed), of the Nairi lands; horses, donkeys.. Barzani I burned with fire, I devastated, I destroyed, to mounds and ruins [I turned it]... From the pass of the mountain of Amadani I went forth unto the city of Barzanishtun. Unto the city of Damdammusa, the stronghold of Hani of Zamani, I drew nigh. I stormed the city; my warriors flew like birds against them. 600 of their fighting men I struck down with the sword, I cut off their heads. 400 men I took alive, 3,000 prisoners I brought out. That city I took for my own possession. The living men and the heads I carried to Amedi, his royal city, I made a pillar of heads in front of his city gate, the living men I impaled on stakes round about his city. I fought a battle within his city gate, I cut down his orchards. From the city of Amedi I departed. I entered the pass of the mountain of Kashiari (and) of the city of Ahabr &, wherein none among the kings, my fathers, had set foot, or had made an expedition thereto."

– Amedi is clearly the most common name, at least in recent years. Google NGRAMS isn't very helpful (because both "Amedi" and "Amadiya" can refer to other things) but searching Google Scholar results since 2010 with the keyword Duhok to filter extraneous results makes Amedi nearly twice as common as Amadiya. The city's and district's population seems to be mostly Kurdish-speaking so it makes sense that the Kurdish name would be used more often.

Very wet in Iraqi standards
@Kinu i think it’s important to highlight, that Amedi is very wet in Iraqi standards. דולב חולב (talk) 01:47, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
