Personnel figures

A couple of times recently a figure of over 500,000 has been added citing an Al Jazeera news article. That news article cites the 2020 edition of the IISS Military Balance when other editors have already added more recent estimates from the 2021 edition. Buckshot06 (talk) 22:10, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

We should keep Military balance as it is the most reliable sources. It is also widely used as sources by main news channels as [[1]] and many others so not need to change this at it is the most reliable sources for military. Shadow4dark (talk) 20:35, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Some of the most recent edits appear to be inspired by webpages about *Iran,* such as the https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/army-vi ; referencing the Pahlavi period.

Let's stick to the most up to date version of the Military Balance that can be verified. Buckshot06 (talk) 02:53, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Personnel figures May 2024

Hello I have been seeing controversy over the number of soldiers on this page for a long time I think all the subjects like Navy & Air force & special forces & ground forces can be combined and deployed Until a comprehensive and reliable source is found? Or until it is announced

Much respect. Kerosene3 (talk) 16:37, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Military balance is already good source unless it is not updated. Come with proof that they not updated older editions with the last version. There is no reason to replace it with low quality sources. Shadow4dark (talk) 17:22, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

I've updated the number using the data from the Military Balance 2024. Ckfasdf (talk) 07:30, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

It seems Kerosene3 has a habit of inflating the personnel numbers in the article about the Iraqi armed forces and its branches, sometimes without any source, and other times using unreliable, outdated, or completely unrelated sources. Ckfasdf (talk) 17:30, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

I have repeatedly had to rollback Kerosene3's edits, and I recommend administrator action to respond to Kerosene3's disruptive edits without delay. Buckshot06 (talk) 17:59, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Personnel figures Aug 2024

I have found some more authoritative sources about the number of soldiers Because I've focused on the old edits, the numbers have been 190,000 or 193,000 or 195,000 for several years. Sbeyy (talk) 20:37, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Great!! What is the number of soldiers in August 2024, and what is the source? Is it worth considering for inclusion in the article? Is it WP:RELIABLE? Buckshot06 (talk) 19:37, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

CIA Factbook is using same numbers. Shadow4dark (talk) 19:49, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
