War Result in Infobox

According to many other articles on Wikipedia, this war is listed as a victory for the US and Coalition forces. Should this result be included in the infobox of this article? Although the withdrawal of US forces in 2011 eventually led to the rise of ISIS, the coalition left behind a free and stable Iraq that was in control of its own territory and had free elections. Pair that with the decrease in insurgent violence and the toppling of Hussein's regime, and I believe it's hard not to say that this was a US-Coalition victory.

See this long discussion about the subject in 2014. Also, a search for sources on the who won also disagrees. Lucasjohansson (talk) 20:02, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 6 April 2018

Please change "July 2004" to "June 2004" where it says "Bremer served until the CPA's dissolution in July 2004." Hudsonc601 (talk) 16:32, 6 April 2018 (UTC) Hudsonc601 (talk) 16:32, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"PEJAK"

The article refers twice in succession to a party it calls "Party for a Free Life in Kurdistan", abbreviated to "PEJAK". But the link goes to an article called "Kurdistan Free Life Party", abbreviated to "PJAK" without an "E" - this also makes sense, as the Kurdish-language name of the party is given as "Partiya Jiyana Azad a Kurdistanê" (so there's no word in the name beginning with "E"). I'd change this myself, but since the spelling with an "E" appears twice I suppose the writer may have had a reason to use it. So I've simply mentioned it here.213.127.210.95 (talk) 13:13, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
