Does anyone know where a citation for his wife being jewish can be found I know thats can be a horrible thing in the mideast —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.67.182.5 (talk) 17:30, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Kraham is the name of a town in Bavaria and according to this link, it was named after a man who settled there in the seventh century. [1] Legend has it that the family saved the town from an attack among other tales that have survived from the past. Mike Hayes (talk) 07:16, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

The fact that his wife is Jewish isn't mentioned any more but if you want to double check it just Google "Sherri Kraham jew". Also while being Jew maybe controversial in some parts of the middle east they're pretty common among Kurds(e.g. Sanandaj). ~ Zirguezi 13:00, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Severe npov issues and clear formatting problems

This article clearly violates the fundamental rule of Wikipedia:

"All encyclopedic content on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view (NPOV), which means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic."

The article is exceptionally biased and reads as if it's written by a PR firm for Qubad Talabani. Pretty much the whole article is like this, but I shall show a few quotes:

"In every aspect of his work, Talabani believes the government is first and foremost a servant of the Kurdish people, according to the highest standards of contemporary governance. In being this, Talabani believes government officials must rise above partisan political conflicts."

(No sources).

"Talabani's efforts in these areas are accompanied by staunch support of key social issues in the Kurdistan Region. He has worked to improve the region's legal framework, so that it is easier to combat violence against women. He also always stresses the importance of supporting and celebrating young Kurdish people in whatever sector they're in. Talabani has also helped develop agriculture and tourism in the region."

(No sources).

"For Qubad Talabani, the ultimate goal of politics is to create a free and just society."

Obvious bias, and this whole section is pretty much just taken from his own website, which is [2] on the article (https://qubadtalabani.krd/about/vision?lang=en).

Because it's presumably just copy-pasted, the formatting is all wrong and just uses bold text rather than subheadings. Frankly, though, that section should just be wiped and the entire article ought to be re-written from scratch.

Also, as I hinted earlier, there is a severe lack of sourcing in general, with all 3 sources being...from his own website.

I don't know how to flag this with the wider Wikipedia community (I don't use this account much and I don't really know how the community mechanisms work, sorry!), but this absolutely must be fixed. It'd be better to just have a stub article with no content in it than its current state, which reflects poorly on Wikipedia and is a violation of its key principles.
