Kaveh Farrokh

[edit]

Per the work and statement made by Doug Weller[1], Farrokh is not a reliable source since he is simply a college counselor.

  • "He really is just a counsellor, despite what some websites say. No qualifications in history, etc." ~~Doug Weller.
  • "If he[Farrokh] wrote a book on college counselling we might use it as he has qualifications in that field, but not for politics or history." ~~Doug Weller. --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:02, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Baghavard

[edit]

More authors who use the word Baghavard instead of Yeghevard;

  • Fisher, et al. (1991). The Cambridge History of Iran, Volume 7 Cambridge; Cambridge University Press ISBN 780-521200950 pp. 305, 309, 1040
  • Axowrthy, Michael (2010). The Sword of Persia: Nader Shah, from Tribal Warrior to Conquering Tyrant I.B.Tauris 9780857721938 pp. 1-368
  • Mikaberidze, Alexander (2011). Conflict and Conquest in the Islamic World: A Historical Encyclopedia (2 volumes): A Historical Encyclopedia ABC-CLIO. ISBN 978-1598843378 page 692.

The name of the town this battle was fought at might be called "Yeghevard", but we need to adhere to the rules of WP:COMMONNAME I believe. There was/is no "Battle of Yeghevard" as far as I can see, and nor do any of the quoted sources on this article mention anything about "Yeghevard". They all only mention Baghavard regarding this battle. - LouisAragon (talk) 00:13, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
