I have been working on this article on and off for the past 2.5 years. It has been Peer Reviewed, achieved GA Status, and just passed an A-Class Review. I pulled its previous previous FAC nomination over sourcing concerns, so that's probably where you should dig for issues. My ultimate goal is to have this ready for Main Page status for the ten-year anniversary of the Iraq War next spring, so no rush. Palm_Dogg ( talk) 14:55, 23 June 2012 (UTC) reply

Spotchecks
Delegate's comment - The one issue following the spotchecking still needs to be addressed. Graham Colm ( talk) 14:14, 25 August 2012 (UTC) reply
Delegate's comment - As was pointed out above by Rupert 20 days ago, there are numerous duplicated links. Most terms should only be linked once (excluding the Lead). Please check for these, they include: Shia, Haditha Dam, CPA, Euphrates, Donald Rumsfeld, General James T. Conway, Operation Vigilant Resolve, James Mattis, CENTCOM , John Abizaid, 2nd Battalion 1st Marines, Vietnam War, 2nd Battalion 4th Marines , Iraqi Interim Government, Muqtada al-Sadr, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, RPGs, Navy Cross, Medal of Honor, United States Naval Institute's, Proceedings, 1st Battalion 3rd Marines, 2nd Marine Regiment, Central Command , Rawah, cordon and search, Jamaat Ansar al-Sunna, 2nd Battalion 7th Marines , 3rd Battalion 1st Marines, Multi-National Force – Iraq, Multi-National Force – Iraq, sheikh, 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 3rd Battalion 4th Marines, 2nd Battalion 3rd Marines, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit , Karmah, Habbaniyah, Fasal al Gaood, Humvees, Secretary of Defense , Department of Defense, Al Asad Airbase, David Petraeus, Multi-National Force – Iraq, Sheikh Sattar, George W.

Query that may have been addressed previously: in the info box, the list of "belligerents" shows a US flag, above the "Multinational Forces West". The list for "strength" shows not a US flag but the MNFW logo. Then under "casualties and losses" we have the US, Republic of Iraq and, for the first time, the United Kingdom. If the multinational forces west is truly multinational, why is it listed under the US flag; whatever the flag is, why is it not consistent between categories? The MNF appears a curious beast, so I can understand the confusion; I'm just not entirely happy with the current solution. Our WP article on the MNF-Iraq describes it as being led by "the United States of America and its allies". The WP article on MNF-West at one point refers to it as a US unit. I realise we can't sort all those issues out under the guise of this FAC, but it would be good if the infobox was somehow more consistent. hamiltonstone ( talk) 11:13, 28 August 2012 (UTC) reply
