Talk:International aid to combatants in the Iran–Iraq War

Listing
Whatever happened to that section of this page that had a COMPLETE list of all the countries involved and what they provided in this conflict? It was a huge list.

Merger proposal
I propose that we merge both Iran and Iraq's armament and support during the Iran-Iraq War into this one page. Iran–Iraq War is the only article that links these two other pages at the present time. The information appears to have been split off shortly before this one page was created, which is why both contain identical information. This page has propagated faster and is rated by Military history WikiProject, whereas the other two remain orphaned. Dynablaster (talk) 01:33, 25 March 2009 (UTC)


 * If there is no objection, I will proceed to redirect the other two pages to this main article. Dynablaster (talk) 01:37, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Keeping things simple
I also propose that we do away with sub categories in this article (i.e. aircraft, infantry, logistics) and just summarize the nature of aid that both sides received. Readers can visit individual support pages for a complete break down and more in-depth information. Dynablaster (talk) 00:22, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

SIPRI
I have removed the concise SIPRI arms table from the page (1970-1990). We need a similar table that covers the duration of the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988). Exact figures can be obtained here, if someone wishes to reproduce the data? Dynablaster (talk) 00:36, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

whoops i accidentally erased the page, can someone please re-write this again, sorry —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.229.29.124 (talk) 23:29, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

 * Triggered by  on the local blacklist

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 21:09, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

the line regarding the UK
"Weapons-related equipment and ‘Sodium cyanide for chemical weapons and plutonium and gas spectrometers’"

Can someone either remove this or substantiate it. The link provided doesn't mention it and I have never come across this allegation before.

Reference two is dead
Reference 2, ""Sources used in compiling the database". Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.", is dead (and doesn't seem to be all that great to begin with.) It supported "Iraq's three main suppliers of weaponry during the war were the Soviet Union followed by China and then France." May I suggest http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/43387/david-segal/the-iran-iraq-war-a-military-analysis and http://www.iranchamber.com/history/articles/united_states_iran_iraq_war1.php as cites that at least partially support this statement?--Prosfilaes (talk) 21:10, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
