Anyone should make a map for Mosul city center and its surroundings. Can anyone make that? Like [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/Rif_Aleppo2.svg this]. [[User:Beshogur|Beshogur]] ([[User talk:Beshogur|talk]]) 12:59, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
== Where is Baghdad ==
Can someone make the red point of Baghdad appear again ?
:Yeah, you're right. Someone has removed Baghdad from the module. I request the editors to please put it back. [[Special:Contributions/117.207.149.0|117.207.149.0]] ([[User talk:117.207.149.0|talk]]) 02:41, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

== New color? ==
In the north and to the east of Mosul - a dark green. There's no entry in the legend, could someone clarify and put one in or remove it if it's not supposed to be there? I'm guessing it's meant to be Turkish forces, given the same color being used on the Syria map a while ago.

:It's the Turkish bases in Northern Iraq. I think it should be added because those bases are "illegal" according the UN laws... But Idk how to add the Turkish bases on the legend. [[User:Beshogur|Beshogur]] ([[User talk:Beshogur|talk]]) 11:56, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

:::: Thanks. It appears that adding a new color for Turkish bases is justified. The legend should probably be changed accordingly, using the same dark green color that is used in the map. [[User:Schluppo|Schluppo]] ([[User talk:Schluppo|talk]]) 21:28, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

== Map of Mosul ==
Hello, as a frequent viewer of this template I would like to suggest adding to it the map of Mosul (like Aleppo in Syrian template). Template would be much more informative as battle progresses in the city itself. This is of course beyond my capabilities (as I have no idea how to edit template), but at least I can whine and make some requests. :-) [[Special:Contributions/77.254.156.147|77.254.156.147]] ([[User talk:77.254.156.147|talk]]) 09:28, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
I doubt this is nessescary. The situation in Syria is very different with truces and battles that have lasted almost 6 years. Mosul will hardly last more than a couple weeks or a month. [[User:Mozad655|Mozad655]] ([[User talk:Mozad655|talk]]) 12:40, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

== Can someone correct the links of various places in the module ==
Someone has added a hashtag "#" in front of link names of various settlements. In other cases, they have just named the links to "#no". The links are for directing a user to the article by that name. When the hashtag is added before any name, it just directs the user back to the template. And if you add "no" without the hashtag it will instead direct you to the article of [[no]], with the hashtag it will just direct you back to the template. In my search, I think I have identified 48 such cases with this problem. According to Wikipedia "#" is used for sections of an article. Using them shows the whole link of the template when clicking on/touching a settlement along with the "#" and the name of the settlement next to the "#" instead of just that settlement's name. And opening it will direct you back to the template. I request the users to please correct it as they are creating a problem. Thank you.

{{u|Ermanarich}} {{u|Beshogur}} {{u|Ahmedo Semsurî}} {{u|Schluppo}} Can you fix this problem. I have detailed it in above post. [[Special:Contributions/117.214.244.186|117.214.244.186]] ([[User talk:117.214.244.186|talk]]) 05:27, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
:Thank you for your remarks. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Module:Iraqi_insurgency_detailed_map&diff=748231443&oldid=748223879 I have made the corrections]. I have removed the links that ''start'' with a # because they are fake links. The problem is worse than you think. Many of the ''remaining'' links do ''not'' lead to a valid article about the town in question. For example, link = "Albu Judai" is not a valid link because there is not article with the name "Albu Judai". So someone would have to go thru all the links and verify if they really lead to a valid Wikipedia article. If they don't then they need to be removed by deleting: link = "town name" part of the code. Below i give a brief tutorial on the link parameter in the code.
{{___location map+ |Syria |float=right |width=340 |caption=. |places=

:Every element on the map should be verifiable. Information on towns (description of control & sources) can be found by ''clicking'' on the town dot on the map. Notice the caption of the map which says: "Hold cursor over ___location to display name; click to go to sources &/or status description (if available, the cursor will show as [[File:Pointing hand cursor vector.svg|25px]]; if not, it will show as [[File:Cursor.svg|14px]])."
:Notice the “link=” parameter in the map code. This is supposed to link to the part in the Wikipedia article that contains the source and talks about the events in the town. So for example, if you click on the dot of the town "Inkhil" on the map, it will take you to the part of the Wikipedia article on the town "Inkhil" that has the description of war events (& sources): link = "[[Inkhil#civilwar]]" Here the first part ''before'' the # is the name of the article (Inkhil). the second part ''after'' the # is the name of the section (civilwar).
:For this to work, there needs to be a section by this same name in the article or you need to put a wikilink anchor: [[WP:ANCHOR|<nowiki>{{anchor|section}}</nowiki>]] that will act as a section header (in this case <nowiki>{{anchor|civilwar}}</nowiki>). By the way, sources &/or status description can also be found in "battle/offensive/etc..." articles and not just in towns' articles... A quick look at the map's code will tell you where each town dot will link.

==Bashiqa still contested acc to many sources==
Bashiqa is presented under Peshmerga control in map. Although [http://rudaw.net/english/kurdistan/07112016 Rudaw] and [http://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/middle-east/2016/11/07/Peshmerga-forces-claim-full-control-over-Bashiqa-.html Al-Arabiya] state they have captured it. However, [http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-37894809 BBC], [http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/11/battle-mosul-peshmerga-push-isil-held-bashiqa-161107151213902.html Al-Jazeera] and [http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-08/kurdish-fighters-storm-islamic-state-town-near-mosul/8003866 ABC Online] say they only stormed it and control parts of it. The reports of complete capture might have been premature, Al Jazeera does state Peshmerga controls most of Bashiqa. These sources are more recent than Rudaw and Al-Arabiya. Only BBC is of earlier time than Al-Arabiya whose report seems to based on Peshmerga claim which it details in its article. Many other sources too only say Peshmerga has entered Bashiqa and controls parts of Bashiqa. I think it is better to show it as contested for the time being until all reliable news sources state they have captured it.

== Why Husaybah is red? ==
I really don't think, that Husaybah on the iraqi-syrian border is in the hands of the government... please put it back to black.
In some news, there are reports about some explosions due to the rain in a certain town called Husaybah al-Scharqiyah ("East-Husaybah" - not eastern Husaybah), but it is surely not Husaybah on the border and surely not in possession of government.

== Desperate need to split KDP and PUK control colours. ==
The map in northern Iraq has become unmappable without seperating PUK and KDP control.
Without this the situation becomes un-understandable and misleading for people watching the map.<br>
I personally think:
* KDP should be a greenish yellow
* EPC (Sinjar Alliance, YBS,HPG,...) '''should be same yellow as Syrian SDF,YPG''' as they are supported and established by them.
* PUK needs to be an orangy yellow as they are at this moment closer to Iraqi government.
But without splitting KDP and PUK and merging YBS with SDF's colour, we will get completely stuck in trying to map the new situation.--[[User:Niele~enwiki|Niele~enwiki]] ([[User talk:Niele~enwiki|talk]]) 09:26, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

::I found [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Module:Iraqi_insurgency_detailed_map&diff=805594301&oldid=805591424 the revision], and sorry but [https://twitter.com/Online_alhashd/status/919810172498907136 a random Twitter account with 500 followers] is not a source. Please see [[WP:RELIABLESOURCE]]. You changed this less then a week ago so it does not have consensus. I have again reverted this unsourced change.

== Qandil ==
The [[Qandil mountains]] are marked on the map as under KRG control, but they are actually controlled by the PKK and PJAK and have been for many years.

== Desert villages changed without a source ==
why are desert villages in Al-Anbar governorate north of the euphrates river and desert villages west of Salaheddine governorate changed from ISIS controlled to Iraqi Government control,is there a reliable source for this change,because i am unaware of such an offensive occurring at this time.[[User:AlAboud83|Alhanuty]] ([[User talk:AlAboud83|talk]]) 17:48, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
:It was implied in a couple of other sources, including Twitter and a report cited in the main campaign article. The news source reported that ISIL only holds territory in Iraq's Anbar Province, between Rawa and the Syrian border, which means that ISIL no longer controls any territory at all in the Nineveh Governorate.

== Ain Zalah Oil Field ==
The Ain Zalah Oil Field is currently depicted as being under Peshmerga control, along with a couple of neighboring villages. However, [https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/11/05/world/middleeast/kurd-independence-iraq-turkey-iran-syria-maps-backfired.html?src=twr this report] implies that the Peshmerga has already withdrawn from that district entirely? So who currently holds the Ain Zalah District? IF someone wants, feel free to change that area to Iraqi Government control. You can use this source if you want.
