`  == Kurdish Areas 2002 CIA ==   CIA]]  CIA]] re:  It is a map with a more recent date (2002 vs. 1992) and I thought it a good addition.    : Good point, but could try to find one that is less ugly? (no offense) Also, I don't see a huge difference between the two maps. —   :: True, the basic data seems just about the same and, yes, the map uses a less appealing style. I actually think that the more to-the-point style is better at showing the Kurdish region. Maybe the infobox in Kurdistan is not the best place for this particular image, but I believe the fact that the CIA continues to show basically the same region as ``Kurdish`` bolsters the claim that this is the region that is Kurdistan. Note also the inset caption characterising it as the traditional Kurdish-inhabited area.    :::True, but as I said before, it's kinda ugly. Could you find a nicer-looking one? —   :::: It does kind of look like drippings from a green candle. However, it is a valid and more recent reference. I'm going to drop this whole conversation on to Talk:Kurdistan and see where it goes.  `
