 Not done Though the two parties reunited in 2022, the initial split occurred in 2007. That leaves 15 years in which they were two separate entities, a long period of time where people developed their views of these two entities as being separate (even though they no longer are separate.) The disambiguation hatnote exists for these readers. Regards,  Spintendo  21:00, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Alliance between KPIK and KZK failed" part

This information is outdated. Komala of Muhtadi and Komala of Ilkhanizadeh were on the process of unity which resulted with some members forming a faction and not recognizing unity. Unity's success was confirmed by Komala's official Twitter account, and as it can be seen from Ilkhanizadeh's Twitter page, he is affiliated with Komala PIK (i.e. Muhtadi's Komala), so there is no doubt about it. In the back I stated that I'm not interested with this article anymore due to partisan, non-responding positions taken to my contributions back then. And it's actually ironic that these people, and those like them is regarded as "personally or professionally connected" now. But nobody supported me back then. Ironic. Anyways. I still think so, but such an obvious error must be corrected.
And for the love of god, Bittman's book talks about Komala Ja-Qaf, which evolved into Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran, not the Komala of Sultani and Muhtadi. Has anybody who objected to my contribution bothered themselves with actually checking the source? I did, and I added quote from the book too in reference so that it would be obvious. But not those who didn't listened to me. As for the O'Ballance's obviously wrong claim, he gives no source for this claim. He just utters it.
For the final, KZK's Wiki page says that it's communist, which is obviously an error. KZK split from Muhtedi's Komala, so from social-democratic wing, and never returned to communism. Please correct that too.
