Compare this article to the one on Qom, the other predominant centre of Shia learning. The Qom article discusses the city's whole history, with only passing mention of the Iranian revolution and recent events, while this article is mostly about American military activity around Najaf over the past few years (the only reference cited is a U.S. military account). The current war is important, of course, but this article really needs a rewrite and refocus (it's as if the Vatican article mostly discussed troop movements near Rome during World War II).

That is true, David, but why not just go to the Najaf, Battle of 2007 article, possessing a link in the Najaf article itself, and transplant info from there onto it to add more to the current war's focus, which is, if not the most important focus, the most current focus and thus the most appealing.
Population of City of Najaf
The population for the city of Najaf appears to be incorrect. The population listed is for the entire province not just the city of Najaf. See Najaf Governate for cross reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.13.130.100 (talk) 12:23, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
