Kyrgyzstan

I removed Kyrgyzstan part, since this kind of wrestling is unknown in Kyrgyz Republic and not popular as stated, I myself Kyrgyz and know this and the source presented is in farsi so i cannot check this statement. The only popular kind of wrestling among Kyrgyz people, besides mainstream styles, is traditional Kuresh. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Torebay (talk • contribs) 19:13, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

removed some unsourced hype from intro

4,000 years, eh? Funny, the first mention of the earliest Iranian tribes dates to some 2,800 years ago. dab (𒁳) 10:52, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Hashem-2-1.jpg

Image:Hashem-2-1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with Image:International Zurkhaneh Sports Federation.JPG

The image Image:International Zurkhaneh Sports Federation.JPG is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Image wars

Two public domain photos relating to this wrestling style have been removed without proper rationale: File:Razaz01.jpg and File:Antoin Sevruguin zoorkhaneh.jpg. In their place we keep getting this added File:International Zurkhaneh Sports Federation.JPG which is about a gym - a distinct topic from the sport of Varzesh-e Pahlavani. It really shouldn't be the primary image for the article. Can we stop removing valid images from this sport please? Hutcher (talk) 17:30, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have already explained the rational on your talk page, whether you like it or not. Now, we can find some modern images of this art, or we can keep including images from the 19th century that have little connection to how this art is currently practiced in the modern world.

Caption text below the picture.

This is the picture of Pahlevan Haj Mostapha Tousi (Iranian) and not some Indian pehlvan holding Indian Clubs!!! I edited/corrected it.

everybody who has practiced Varzesh Pahlevani recognizes this picture of Haj Mostapha Tousi! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.48.159.99 (talk) 08:49, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake, I forgot to correct the caption after I copied the template from the pehlwani article. Morinae (talk) 09:30, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Submissions?

I keep seeing the claim that koshti pahlevani is a submission wrestling style, but haven't found a single reliable source. And it keeps getting repeated without credible explanation. The IZSF rules don't use submission as a winning condition and actually forbid "pulling fingers or twisting joints, in the opposite direction", and "seizing, pressing or hitting the sensitive limbs of the opponent body which will be led to the opponents heavy injury that stop him of continuing the competition." So that effectively disqualifies every submission hold. The footage I've seen of matches also don't have any submission attempts. Spagooder (talk) 22:39, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
