Change the first listed language under the section of “Main languages” to Kurdish rather than Arabic as the first. For the section under “Main languages”, list Kurdish above Arabic as Kurdish is the native language of the Kurdish people rather than Arabic, and as a Kurd a lot of us cannot speak arabic altogether. 92.238.52.9 (talk) 12:17, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: the languages are listed in alphabetical order. Besides, there is nothing about them in the article's body. M.Bitton (talk) 20:31, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

The "Main language" in info box should be arranged starting with Kurdish and then Zaza-Goran. Arabic is not the first language in any parts of Kurdistan and It can be misleading to put it first. Turkish and Persian are also spoken as second languages in some parts. Shoreshvan1 (talk) 09:01, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

The Kurdish flag should be in the info box as it is the official flag at least in parts of Kurdistan which are under Kurdish rule. Also the Kurdish language is Official language in Southern and Western Kurdistan (Kurdistan within Iraq and Syria, respectively). Therefore, It makes sense to have Kurdish as official language in info box. Shoreshvan1 (talk) 09:13, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: This article is about the geographical region. The flag is used at Kurdistan Region.  (talk | contribs) 09:53, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The Kurdish flag is considered by many Kurds in the whole geographical region as a symbol of Kurdish identity and nationalism. It has historically been used in different periods in different regions of the great Kurdistan an it is not only representing Kurdistan Region (in Iraq). So, I think it makes sense to add it here too. Shoreshvan1 (talk) 14:30, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

The main language in the region is kurdish not Arabic. Rha999 (talk) 17:34, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. PianoDan (talk) 18:22, 12 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Reliable sources? What? That Kurds speak Kurdish? That that's their language? That Arabic, Turkish, and Farsi is their secondary language due to them being occupied by these countries? What sources do you need besides the entire wiki page on Kurdistan? Kurds are not Arabs! It should not be listed first. 70.29.13.217 (talk) 01:45, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Poor image choice
Greater kurdistan is about where kurds used to settle in anceint time that is why we should use median empire image from median state article in wikipedia 185.187.76.204 (talk) 15:32, 11 May 2024 (UTC)


 * im just curious why this map is sourced by the CIA? also the map of the southern caucus says it's from the CIA. is there like no actual maps for the Kurdish peoples that are more historic or like based on archeology or sociology?
 * Ist the CIA really the leading source on where the Kurdish peoples are from? Seems strange that this even involves the CIA.
 * Shouldn't we be looking at the science instead of something the CIA cooked up? What does the map look like based on leading Kurdish historians?
 * Just feels strange to believe the CIA for something like this. 80.139.97.40 (talk) 22:04, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
