"Dutch sources reported him as the person behind the IRP headquarter bombing"

[edit]

@Kazemita1: In this edit, you inserted that "dutch sources reported him as the person behind the IRP headquarter bombing". I cannot find this claim in the article, but I've found this instead:

"Officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran have always introduced Mohammad Reza Kolahi Samadi, a member of the PMOI, as "the agent of the group's infiltration in the Islamic Republic Party" in the bombing on July 7. According to the Iranian media, Mohammad Reza Kolahi joined the People's Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization) after the 1979 revolution, and initially guarded the Islamic Revolutionary Committee of Pasteur and then headed the organization into the Islamic Republic Party. Mohammad Reza Kalahi Samadi, who was a student at the time, worked as a sound engineer in the party's building. He was promoted to the party and was responsible for invitations to conferences and conferences and meetings, while he was also responsible for the protection of the party. Reports indicate that he took the bomb with his handbag inside the Islamic Republic's party, and left from the party a few minutes before the explosion.

This, however, is not equivalent to "Dutch sources reported him as the person behind the IRP headquarter bombing". Can you clarify? Stefka Bulgaria (talk) 11:40, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]


This is what the title of the news piece reads

منابع هلندی از «ترور» عامل بمبگذاری در حزب جمهوری اسلامی خبر دادند

The translation from Persian to English is "Dutch sources reported assassination of the person behind IRP headquarter bombing". Ask Nikoo.amini to translate it to English for you, although you probably know some Persian yourself.--Kazemita1 (talk) 12:43, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but the body of the article does not confirm or say this, but instead refers to Iranian media as the source of Samadi's connection to the MEK and the bombing incident. This cannot be attributed to "Dutch sources". Also Radiofarda is a questionable source. Stefka Bulgaria (talk) 21:46, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not to say I agree with what you said, but this is one of the Dutch sources. Make sure you accept the cookies first, before copying the content to Google translate.--Kazemita1 (talk) 15:08, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The source is similar to the last, it does not say Kolahi was responsible, it says he was a suspect, and we already know this from previous IRI claims. Stefka Bulgaria (talk) 19:36, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That is far from truth. Here are the excerpts from the Dutch source with their English translation:

Hij was in Nederland onder een schuilnaam een nieuw leven begonnen. Reza Kolahi Samadi wordt beschouwd als hoofdverantwoordelijke voor de bomaanslag op 28 juni 1981 op het hoofdkwartier van de Islamitische Republikeinse Partij in Teheran, tijdens een top van partijleiders.

which translates to:

He had started a new life in the Netherlands under a pseudonym. Reza Kolahi Samadi is regarded as the main person responsible for the bomb attack on 28 June 1981 at the headquarters of the Islamic Republican Party in Tehran, during a summit of party leaders.

Also,

Reza Kolahi Samadi zou als student een baantje hebben weten te bemachtigen als geluidstechnicus in het complex waar hij de aanslag pleegde. Hij was een prominent lid van de sjiitische 'verzetsbeweging' Mujahedeen-Khalq (letterlijk: heilige strijders van het volk) voor hij in de jaren tachtig als politiek vluchteling naar Nederland kwam.

which translates to:

As a student, Reza Kolahi Samadi would have managed to get a job as a sound engineer in the complex where he committed the attack. He was a prominent member of the Shiite 'resistance movement' Mujahedeen-Khalq (literally: holy fighters of the people) before he came to the Netherlands as a political refugee in the 1980s.

He is saying it plainly without quoting or attributing.--Kazemita1 (talk) 00:08, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest we keep the discussion in a single TP to make things less confusing. Please refer to the Hafte tir bombing TP we we can discuss further. Thank you. Stefka Bulgaria (talk) 22:44, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Is this disruptive editing?

[edit]

@Vanamonde93: I saw that this article is part of the new DS policy, so I thought I'd ask you to hopefully better understand things.

A few days ago I removed several articles from this article's "See also" section (Massoud Rajavi, Maryam Rajavi, Somayeh Mohammadi, Operation Mersad, Operation Forty Stars, Jalal Haji Zawar). I removed them because they are not related to this article (which is about Mohammad-Reza Kolahi).

Then I added a couple of articles that are related to the subject of this article (Hafte tir bombing, People's Mujahedin of Iran).

Saff V. then re-inserted those articles. However, there is nothing that directly links Mohammad-Reza Kolahi to neither of the articles Saff V. reinserted.

Is this disruptive editing? (I'm trying to avoid getting into unnecessary revert-wars here). Stefka Bulgaria (talk) 10:51, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, a single revert isn't usually considered disruptive. However; Saff V., your edit summary says you're inserting articles related to the MEK. This isn't a page about the MEK, but about Kolahi; only pages with a natural link to Kolahi should be in the see also section. Pages already linked in the article shouldn't be in the see also section. See MOS:ALSO for further guidance. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:27, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Vanamonde93: I did not violate MOS:ALSO which demanded The links in the "See also" section might be only indirectly related to the topic of the article because one purpose of "See also" links is to enable readers to explore tangentially related topics.. Anyway, as you said, Operation Mersad, Operation Forty Stars are not so natural and related, but Massoud Rajavi, Maryam Rajavi, Somayeh Mohammadi, Jalal Haji Zawar are members of MEK as well as Kolahi.Saff V. (talk) 13:31, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, those latter individuals are MEK members. Since they are not the only possible links, and there's an obvious limit to how many links you can have, you folks need to come to a consensus here on their inclusion. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:25, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
