Calculated weighted oscillator strengths are tabulated for spectral lines of Fe III, Fe IV, Fe V, and Fe VI. The lines belong to transition arrays 3d{sup 6}-3d{sup 5}4p and 3d{sup 5}4s-3d{sup 5}4p in Fe III, 3d{sup 5}-3d{sup 4}4p and 3d{sup 4}4s-3d{sup 4}4p in Fe IV, 3d{sup 4}-3d{sup 3}4p and 3d{sup 3}4s-3d{sup 3}4p in Fe V, and 3d{sup 3}-3d{sup 2}4p and 3d{sup 2}4s-3d{sup 2}4p in Fe VI. For the calculations, Slater parameters are optimized on the basis of minimizing the discrepancies between observed and computed wavelengths. Configuration interaction was included among the 3d{sup n}, 3d{sup n{minus}1}4s, 3d{sup n{minus}2}4s{sup 2}, 3d{sup n{minus}1}4d, and 3d{sup n{minus}1}5s even configurations and among the 3d{sup n{minus}1}4p, 3d{sup n{minus}2}4s4p, and 3d{sup n{minus}1}5p odd configurations, with 3p{sup 5}3d{sup n+1} added for Fe VI. Calculated wavelengths are compared with observational data, and the compositions of energy levels are listed. This completes a series of similar computations for these complex configurations covering Fe I to Fe VI.
