Choqok

I have "userfied" the article for you - undeleted it and moved it into a sub-page in your user space at User:Bkouhi/Choqok where you can work on it. Read WP:Your first article and WP:Writing better articles for advice. There is a German version at de:Choqok which may be helpful. The most useful references are ones that actually discuss it, rather than just listing it and repeating its features. Let me know when you think it is ready, and I will have a look, as the administrator who closed the deletion discussion at WP:Articles for deletion/ChoqoK. If I am not convinced, you could ask at WP:Deletion review. I don't know why someone moved the old article to "ChoqoK" with a capital K: both the "Official home page" and the author's blog listed in the article have a small k.

Hi, can I upload this and this on another wikipedia under the terms of fair use? Thanks. Bkouhi (talk) 17:21, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bkouhi, welcome to Wikipedia! Each language of Wikipedia has different rules for fair use. I would really suggest asking at the Wikipedia that you want to move the pictures to. Howicus (talk) 17:34, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of BSD libc

The article BSD libc has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Notability not established per WP:NSOFT: no reliable third-party sources have been given that explain what is special enough about the BSD C library to warrant a separate article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of Michael W. Lucas

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Michael W. Lucas requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

دعوت به مدیریت

سلام. احتمالن بحث پیرامون مدیران جدید را در قهوه‌خانه‌دیده‌ای. اینقدر در این چندروزه شما را پینگ کرده‌اند، که در تمام عمرم من را اینقدر نکرده‌اند!!! بنده می‌خواهم شما و کاربر آرش وکیلیان را برای مدیریت نامزد بکنم. لطفن مخالفت نکن. مسئولیت چندان خطیری نیست. امروزه مثل چندسال پیش نیست که مدیریت را خیلی سخت بگیریم. امیدوارم دوستان نیز سخت نگیرند. هدف، کمک بیشتر به دانشنامه و رفع موارد مطروحه در وپ:تام است که بنده توانایی ورود به این بحثها را ندارم ولی دیده‌ام که شما در بحثهای مهمی از این قبیل، همواره موفق بودید. زیاد هم از وقتتان را نمی‌خواهیم بگیریم. همین اندازه که به سهم خودتان چندتا از تقاضاهای وپ:تام را پاسخ بگویید، برای حداقل بازدهی، مناسب است. منتظر پاسخ مثبتتان هستم. لطفن به من ایمیل بزنید تا ایمیلتان هم برای زمان آینده داشته باشم.SaMin SAmIN (talk) 11:17, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

سلام گیر ۳پیچ جان، من که همین دو ماه پیش بود نظرخواهی داشتم، به نظرم یک نظرخواهی دیگر کمی زود خواهد بود و من از همین الان می‌بینم که کاربران به خودشون می‌گن «این همون یارو نیست که هفته پیش یه نظرخواهی داشت و بعدش ما کلی رأی دادیم، اما بعدش یهو زد زیر همه چیز؟» این را به این خاطر می‌گویم که از آن موقع تاکنون وضعیت و شرایط تغییر خاصی نکرده و هنوز همه چیز طبق روال سابق پیش میره، من هنوز روی حرفم در مورد کپی‌رایت محصولات ایرانی هستم و هنوز هم مدت چندانی نگذشته که من «به تجربم اضافه بشه» و آمادهٔ مدیریت بشم. به نظرم بهتره من از راه‌های دیگری به پروژه کمک کنم و این کارها را به کاربران بسیار لایق و شایسته‌ای چون شما، چالاک، سید، آرش عزیز و بقیه دوستان بسپاریم. ممنون از لطف‌تان. -- Bkouhi (talk) 14:31, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nizam al-Mulk

Hi bro, I am not contesting that Nizam al-Mulk is Persian and wrote in Farsi, although the person lived in Baghdad and wrote in Arabic too, etc. However, I changed the language to Ar instead of Fa since the name Nizam al-Mulk itself is Arabic. Cheers, Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 18:33, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@عمرو بن كلثوم: Hello and thank you for your comment. I agree, his title is Arabic and using Arabic as the language seems to be justified, but recently there has been an edit war over this, with several editors engaged, and on the other hand, there are also good reasons for the language to be Persian, so I think we better discuss it on the talk page (there is already an open discussion about this on the Nizam al-Mulk#the honorary title). Regards. -- Kouhi (talk) 19:19, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps a translation?

Hi Kouhi, how are you doing? I was wondering, could you perhaps make a brief translation of this article to the Farsi wiki -> Fazil Iskander. He died a few hours ago. He was one of the most famous Soviet/Russian writers, and probably the most well known Abkhaz writer to have ever lived. His father was Iranian, so I think having that article on the Farsi wiki as well, would be a really nice addition. :-) Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 05:41, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you very much for your comment. The article was already created in Persian Wikipedia, but its interwiki link was broken. I just fixed the interwiki link and added some more content to it. Here is the article. I'm mostly active in Persian Wikipedia, if I may be of any help, please let me know. -- Kouhi (talk) 07:33, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kouhi, thanks alot man! Appreciate it. :-) Btw, I was wondering (I can't read/write Persian) whether you would be able to find some more paintings/drawings of some of the Safavid nobility/commanders/generals/elite/princes/princesses? The last few months alot of articles of the Safavid era have been expanded and many new ones have been created, but we're in quite a dire need of some more pictures depicting the the people in question. It kinda sucks, as alot of people are depicted on the tons of surviving Safavid paintings and figures, but many/most of them seemingly haven't been identified yet. I think more could be found if we'd search in Persian, but, unfortunately, once again, I can't do this myself. Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 02:47, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@LouisAragon: Hello. I tried to search about Safavid paintings and portraits, but unfortunately, there is little information about them in Persian language websites, but I keep searching. Is there any known website in which I can find some still-unrecognized portraits? I can ask Persian Wikipedia users (or other Persian websites) to see if the can recognize the portraits. -- Kouhi (talk) 05:53, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, I unfortunately have no clue about any of such sites. :/ Yeah, I agree, perhaps they (at the Persian wiki) could assist you more with finding the names/portraits fitting with the right person. Or in general by helping us to find alot of already identified Safavid paintings/drawings. Its easy to find dozens of portraits of the Safavid rulers themselves, but for the people directly below them (e.g. the viziers, governors, military commanders, generals, etc.), it unfortunately gets much harder. Thanks much in advance though man. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:07, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

An eye on this map

Salam Kouhi, would you mind keeping an eye on this map? Some disruptive user, by the means of edit-warring and making ad-hominem attacks, has tried on numerous occasions to revert the changes back to his unsourced revision. The matter is more thoroughly explained here by Ali Zifan. The map still requires some spelling fixes and minor tweaks (e.g. regarding the maximum extent of the ethnic Arab presence in the southern part adjacent to the Persian Gulf), but for the rest its a map based on verifiable facts and RS sources through our combined efforts. The maker of the map didn't bother about making a map that was actually sourced so it was definetely some alot work. Anyways, that's all. ;-) Thanks much in advance. Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 21:44, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kouhi. It is weird that you wanted sources for Turkish translation of Seljuk dynasty and Seljuk Empire. There are "book titles" that carry those names, and it is really weird for you to remove them without searching any source or making any explaination. Anyway, as you requested, I added some reliable sources each article, so there should be no problem now. Have a nice day.--Rapsar (talk) 14:35, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Rapsar: Hello, thank you for the comment. Please note that, that parameter is "native language" and Modern Turkish with Latin alphabet wasn't their native language. And I'm sure the source you have cited does not claim "Saljuqs spoke modern Turkish and they wrote their name as Selçuklu İmparatorluğu". Their native language was Persian and Oghuz Turkish at best. So, one can add the Oghuz Turkish spelling in the infobox, but since that language is extinct and there is no surviving evidence of that language as used by Saljuqs, we first need a source for the spelling itself. So, technically, it can't be a "translation". Anyway, please don't engage yourself in an edit war. And for your information, we didn't include Modern Persian with Perso-Arabic alphabet to Parthian Empire, Sasanian Empire and others, because they didn't use Perso-Arabic alphabet. -- Kouhi (talk) 15:17, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Zoroastrian priest

Left image: The Sampul tapestry, a woolen wall hanging from Lop County, Xinjiang, China, showing a possibly Greek soldier from the Greco-Bactrian kingdom (250-125 BC), with blue eyes, wielding a spear, and wearing what appears to be a diadem headband; depicted above him is a centaur, from Greek mythology, a common motif in Hellenistic art
Right image: painted clay and alabaster head of a Zoroastrian priest wearing a distinctive Bactrian-style headdress, Takhti-Sangin, Tajikistan, 3rd-2nd century BC

I thought you'd might want to see this. I recently added it to the Sogdia article. It has to be the earliest piece of Zoroastrian-themed artwork I've ever seen, since it comes from the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom of the 3rd-2nd centuries BC. I've seen Zoroastrian-themed artwork from the Parthian Empire, but the dates for it are a bit later, after the 1st century BC. Obviously there is a ton of Zoroastrian art from the Sasanian Empire, but that's way later. Obviously the symbol of the Faravahar is all over Achaemenid artwork at places like Persepolis. However, there is no strong evidence that the Achaemenids were Zoroastrian, which was not officially embraced as a state religion until the Sassanid period. It seems as though the Achaemenids merely mixed Zoroastrian ideas with other Iranian religions and polytheistic cults of the time. Do you know of any Achaemenid or even Seleucid art pieces explicitly depicting a Zoroastrian priest, though? Pericles of Athens^Talk 21:04, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, your IranicaOnline article on archaeology proved really useful for the prehistory and Achaemenid sub-sections of the article on Sogdia! Cheers. Pericles of Athens^Talk 21:06, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@PericlesofAthens: Thank you very much for your informative comment and for sharing these very interesting photos. The priest is of course one of the oldest surviving Zoroastrian artwork, and also one of the best surviving sculptures from a pre-Islamic Iranian person (look what happened to the statue of Khosrow II). Thank you very much for the Sogdia article, I'm very glad Iranica was useful in improving the article. I don't know any unfailing Achaemenid evidence regarding Zoroastrianism, but from Selucid era, there are some coins from kings of Persis (the region they ruled is almost equal to Fars Province in the south of today Iran) which depict a building with sacred fire above it. Persis kings were at first vassals of Selucids, but starting from Autophradates II, they became vassals of Parthian kings. Here is the coin of Oborzos (Vabharz) who revolted against Selucids. He was the second king of Persis. The coin is from early-mid 3rd century BC. Subsequent kings also used the same symbols on their coins, this coin which blong to Bagadat (Bayadad) has better shape and it is from early 3rd century BC. According to some scholars, the building in the middle is Ka'ba-ye Zartosht, which was so important in the Sasanian era that Shapur I etched his most important inscription on it. On the roof of the building, three braziers of sacred fire could be seen. According to some scholars, the flag on the right is Derafsh Kaviani, which according the legends, first used by Kave the Blacksmith in a revolt against Zahhak. There's a hint in Shahnameh of Ferdowsi which strengthen this theory: Ferdowsi described the flag as "The star of Kave" (akhtar-e kavian), and the flag on the coin also depicts a star. The man on the right is either the king, or a priest (although it seems that the kings of Persis were priests themselves). He raised his hands as a sign of respect to the sacred building and the sacred fire. It is interesting that on some coins, Faravahar is depicted above the sacred building, an example is the coin of Vadfradad (Autophradates) (large photo). More coins are available here, including this well preserved coin of Artaxerxes I, the first king of Persis who ruled from mid to late 3rd century BC.

Awesome! Those coins show quite a bit of detail on their reverse sides. It almost looks like those fire temples have big bronze doors or something in the front. The robed priests in those depictions seem to have headgear that is similar to the Zoroastrian priest head that I've shared here. Fascinating! Thanks for your rundown of Persian art history, as well. In regards to artistic depictions of pre-Islamic Iranian people, it seems the Parthians also have some good realistic statues of pre-Islamic Iranians, such as this guy: Statue, National Museum of Iran 2401. Before stupid ISIS bulldozed Hatra and blew up parts of Palmyra there were plenty of Parthian-era sculpted heads and statues there, although thankfully many of them had been moved to various museums around the world long beforehand. For some odd reason the contemporary Roman artists had the curious and annoying habit of depicting most Parthians as wearing Phrygian caps, which was a generic stereotype for any person from the Near East and had little bearing on the clothing and ancient styles of fashion in various parts of the Middle East beyond the control of the Roman Empire. Although the Northern Dynasties, Sui, and Tang era Chinese produced tons of images of Sogdians, they also had an annoying habit of portraying them in a very formulaic pattern, with the same hat over and over again. In either case, these coins from Persis and elsewhere during the Seleucid and Parthian periods are invaluable. Thanks for sharing! I'd add them to the article but there's no more room unfortunately. I did add a Sogdian coin from Bukhara (from the 8th century!!!) showing a fire temple, albeit not nearly as realistic as these earlier coins that you've shared. Pericles of Athens^Talk 11:42, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps more images of fire temples from ancient Seleucid and Parthian era coins can be added to the Wiki articles "Zoroastrianism", "Zoroaster", and "fire temple". Just a thought! Pericles of Athens^Talk 11:44, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. [1] and [2]. And what about this source (used by him)? Even if that source is reliable, why he removes current sourced info in the lead section and adds a strange translation (شرق فارسی)?!

Hello Osman bey. The problem is that you think Seljuqs were "Turkish". No, they were NOT Turkish, they were "Turkic". And being "Turkic" does not mean that one can add "Turkish spelling" to the article. Sassanids and Parthians were also Iranians, but we can't add "Persian spellings" to those articles, because they didn't speak the Persian language we speak today and specially, they didn't use Perso-Arabic alphabet. "Turkish spelling" for Seljuk Empire is of no use for readers. It is not a historical name. It is a modern name. Seljuqs didn't call themselves "Büyük Selçuklu Devleti". Please understand this. It was discussed many times. -- Kouhi (talk) 12:54, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

true seljuk turkic but seljuk leaders name Why are you deleting.seljuk leaders directly turkish. today the Anatolian Turks created the seljuks.i am not pan turanist or turkish nationalist.they were Turkic/Turkish

Please refer to

this leaders and this name directly turkish people. I do not want to hostilities , but are you doing injustice. I have no quarrel with you.If a leader of a society directly concerns the name has to be added.

example:

I 'm not here to nationalism.but it is an issue that needs to be corrected. today is completely different language and alphabet. There are names for the interests of society. Please correct this situation. --88.251.53.212 (talk) 13:41, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You are making a mistake here. Seljuq is not a "Turkish" name, it's an "Oghuz Turkic" name. You CAN add "Oghuz Turkic" spelling to the article, provided that you can find the name in a historical source (like what I did for Persian name, I found this name, Al-e Saljuq, in Rahat al-sudur which was written in 1205 AD in Persian). The problem is that Oghuz Turkic is an extinct language and there is no surviving evidence of this language as used by Seljuqs. Also, Modern Persian spelling for Cyrus the Great is irrelevant and I think it should be removed, and Modern Mongolian names for Hulagu Khan and Genghis Khan are also irrelevant, these are all modern names. By the way, I don't remove those spellings myself, because I don't want to start an edit war again. -- Kouhi (talk) 14:16, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

thousand years, today is not the same as the previous Persian language .

oghuz turkic not extinct language.my language oghuz turkic.this names SELJUK-TUGHRİL-BARKIYARUQ-SANJAR Turkic name Used in modern Turkish.I do not want to edit the war but you have deleted them. the old name with your logic iran no relevance to the present persian language. If you want I can find hundreds of resources source. Seljuks are directly related to the modern Turkish people.

I have no intention of fighting the war , as I said. I would ask you please correct this mistake. You can find hundreds of sources you want.--88.251.53.212 (talk) 14:55, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Today Persian language is the same Persian language that was used by Seljuqs. And also, even if you believe they are not the same language, that makes no difference. Because I added the name based on a source that was written in that era in "Persian", so it's a valid historical name. But Modern Turkish is NOT Oghuz Turkic. Please show one of your reliable sources which claims "Seljuqs spoke Modern Turkish and they wrote their names as Büyük Selçuklu Devleti or بويوك سلچوكلو دولتي".

September 2016

Your recent editing history at Hossein Khan Sardar shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. _Muffled ^Pocketed 15:18, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Dear Mr Kouhi,

Nice to meet you.

Could you kindly help me write (ie. transliterate) this English text into the Perso-Arabic script using the extended Persian Arabic alphabet?

Text: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. "

Using an online tool, I get this:

Could you kindly help me fix the mistakes or write your own transliteration? (including the vowels also)

Your help would be fully appreciated, Thank you. --DaveZ123 (talk) 03:49, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tamam Shud case

Hello. I happened to notice at the Language Desk that you stated that you are a native speaker of Persian. At the first paragraph of Tamam Shud case, the translation given for 'tamam shud' was 'ended' or 'finished'. At Note 1, it is explained that tamam is a noun that means 'the end' and shud is an auxiliary verb indicating past tense, so it means 'ended' or 'finished'. Now an IP is wanting to change 'ended' to 'the end'. Can you throw any light on what it means? Is there an implied 'the' in the Persian, or should it not be used at all? References, of which you may be more aware than I am, would be very helpful. Thanks. Akld guy (talk) 19:04, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Akld guy: Hello. That's an interesting article. The IP is wrong. Tamam shud simply means "ended" or "finished" as you correctly pointed out:

Tamam = finish, end (there is no implied "the")

shud = an auxiliary verb of past tense

Tamam shud = [the work, the job, the movie, the song, the story, put everything else you want here] ended (or finished).

There's an implied "the" in "Tamam shud", but that "the" doesn't apply to the verb, so Tamam shud doesn't mean "the end". The implied "the" applies to the object of the sentence. For example "[Dastan] tamam shud" means "[the story] ended".

I hope this is useful. Please feel free to inform me if I may be of any help. -- Kouhi (talk) 19:41, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You as well as some others in the dispute clearly have academic knowledge and make useful contributions. However you are the leading warrior in the report, since you have broken WP:3RR at Urartu. Can you make a diplomatic offer that will ensure that you won't be making more reverts in the near future? For example, agree to take a two-week break from editing anything related to Urartu on Wikipedia. This might allow the report to be closed with no sanctions. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 01:30, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(t.p.s) That is wise advice, that would probably go a long way in resolving this and avoiding any unneeded escalation. Put the incident in context and put it down to experience. Just an uninvolved comment. Regards Irondome (talk) 01:51, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring at Urartu

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

The full report is at the edit warring noticeboard. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 18:57, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@EdJohnston: I honestly believe this block was unfair. These users showed no sign of collaboration (but they indeed collaborated beautifully with each other to bypass WP:AN3). These users are removing sourced content from articles. Please see this, this and this one for some examples. This is clearly a disruptive edit pattern, they can't remove sourced contents. The worst part is, they are collaborating in this.

They are using WP:CRUSH techniques for POV-pushing. Please look at the timestamps of edits. I left a comment on the talk page at 02:04 18 November which contained a reliable source for my claim, but 92slim, instead of replying to my comment at the talk page, edited the article in 08:48 and removed the disputed part. This is NO collaboration. He can't edit the article while the discussion is ongoing. What's the point of discussion if he wants to neglect it and do what he wants? I noted this on my comments and edit summaries, but all of them neglected this fact and kept reverting.

Besides, 92slim called me liar which is a personal attack, and he accused me of misusing sockpuppets, which is again a serious accusation. Please take these facts into account. -- Kouhi (talk) 20:00, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is sometimes hard to tell the difference between consensus and a tag team. Nonetheless it was incorrect for you to refer to their work as vandalism, and to continue reverting after filing your report. If you think you are facing a tag team, you should report the matter at a noticeboard before getting into a revert war. 'They can't remove sourced contents' is a statement not found in our policy. It is not enough for material to be sourced; it also needs consensus for inclusion. EdJohnston (talk) 20:41, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

List of Afghan philosophers

Hi Kouhi. What do you think about this list?

List of Afghan philosophers

I've removed all Medieval scholars from it.[6]. Because it looks very anachronistic to add Medieval Persian people as a modern ethnic group (Afghan). Plus, the user who created this list has a long-term history of such edits.[7] --Wario-Man (talk) 10:58, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for the message. I agree with you. Those people didn't identify themselves as "Afghan" philosophers, Afghanistan is a modern country and it didn't exist at that time. Applying a modern nationality to a medieval person is of course wrong. From an ethnic point of view, the term "Afghan" means "Pashtun", while none of those people were Pashtuns and therefore Afghans. -- Kouhi (talk) 12:38, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have that article in my watchlist. I think we can safely mention Jami's ethnicity. There's no objection regarding his Persian origin in reliable sources, I'll add some sources to the article. -- Kouhi (talk) 13:09, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@عمر الشامي: OK, but please cite a reliable source in which the readers can verify that "Ibn Khallikan refer to him as Taymi al-Bakri which means he was of Arab descent", then we can write "an Iranian Arab" or "an Iranian of Arab descent" in the lead section of the article (since the word "Iranian" is already sourced). Otherwise it would be WP:OR to say he was of Arab descent just because Ibn Khallikan referred to him as "Taymi al-Bakri".

Ferdowsi

I do not understand why you are edit-warring. First of all, the word "Ferdowsi" is Arabic. It was the name given to him at the court of Mahmoud Ghaznawi. The word "firdows" is taken from the Quran. The origin of the word is - no doubt - Old Iranian (NOT Persian), but that's irrelevant in this case, because the word does not have a natural evolution in Persian, but was adopted from Arabic.

As for the Cyrillic script: it is absolutely relevant, because Tajik Persian is a STANDARDIZED VERSION of the Persian language. Ferdowsi is as much part of the Tajik culture as Rudaki is part of Iranian culture. Not mentioning the Cyrillic script is like removing the modern Persian spelling of the name "Darius" from the article on Darius the Great, only because the modern Persian script did not exist back then.

--Lysozym (talk) 00:52, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Lysozym: First of all, greetings from Iran. Please read BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. You're expected to use the talkpage after a revert by another user.

Second, what you said about the name "Ferdowsi" and its relation to the court of Mahmoud Ghaznavi is based on a folk story. Modern scholars cast doubt on whether Ferdowsi ever met Mahmoud since he was pretty old when he finished Shahnameh (and he started his Shahnameh long before Mahmoud's reign), he wasn't able to travel a long way from Tus to Ghazni. There are also other stories. For example, according to another story, he was called "Ferdowsi" because as a Dihqan, he had a very beautiful garden (his tomb is located there). So, we can't use "Arabic" based on that folk story. And actually the word have an evolution in Persian. Because in the early Islamic centuries, there was no letter for g, p, ch, zh, so they had to Arabize the words in order to write them. This is why there are a lot of Arabized words in Persian which are not common in Arabic.

Third, you are actually right in saying the Modern Persian spelling in Perso-Arabic script is irrelevant to the article of Darius. I've removed it from dozens of articles. We also didn't include Modern Persian spelling to the articles of Parthian Empire and Sasanian Empire (though it can be added to the Sasanian article since a large percentage of our knowledge about Sasanians come from medieval Persian primary sources). You are right in saying Ferdowsi and other Persian-language poets belongs to no country, but to all Persian-speakers. Nobody contests that. But the initial foreign name has nothing to do with it. It is just for further research in primary sources (this is why we use "Arabic" in Avicenna and other articles). In the case of Ferdowsi, not only his Shahnameh was originally in Perso-Arabic script, but also his biographers like Nezami Aruzi wrote in this script. The Cyrillic script is a Soviet thing and even the majority of Tajiks (who live in Afghanistan) also don't use it, even in Tajikistan many people are opposed to Cyrillic script. -- Mazandar (talk) 04:19, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the answer. 1) Your conclusion, that Ferdowi's name is originally Persian, is simply wrong. The Persian word for garden is "bagh" and has the same etymological origin as "baga" and "beg", meaning "God" and "Lord". The Persian word for paradise is "Behesht", derived from Middle Persian "Vehesht", itself of Avestan origin. The Old Iranian "paradaisa" has no continuity in Modern Persian. "Ferdows" is simply an Arabic word of Old Iranian origin, the same way modern Persian "Yalda" is Persian word of ancient Christian-Aramaic origin. Stating the FACT that "Ferdowsi" is an Arabic word does not make the poet less Persian. It simply reflects the reality of his time: that the literary and cultural wold of Persia was dominated by Arabic, until Ferdowsi broke that dominance. As for sources: both the Encyclopaedia Iranica and the Encyclopaedia of Islam state that the name was given to him at the court of Mahmoud. 2) Whether Cyrillic was imposed on Persians or not, whether Tajiks like it or not (by the way: the "Tajiks" of Afghanistan are not "Tajiks"; that word was imposed on them in the 1960s): the Cyrillic script is the official script in Tajikistan. It's being taught in schools and universities, and it is used by the media and by the government. All medieval works have been transliterated into Cyrillic, the same way old Turkish poetry is being transliterated into modern Latin-based Turkish. Removing the Cyrillic script from the article is totally unscientific and has the sole purpose of "De-Persianizing" Tajiks. Ferdowsi's work does not become "un-Persian" only by mentioning in a single sentence how modern Tajiks spell the name. --Lysozym (talk) 04:34, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

UNHCR in Iran

You asserted that "UNHCR is hardly involved in the affairs of refugees in Iran." See The UNHCR Representation in the Islamic Republic of Iran.--David Liebman (talk) 17:07, 10 March 2017 (UTC)--David Liebman (talk) 17:07, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've already seen that page. Nonetheless, The official report of Iran is important and can't be excluded from the article. After all, Iran is hosting the refugees, not UNHCR. The report by Iran is more important and noteworthy than UNHCR's. -- Mazandar (talk) 17:13, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is this is the English Wikipedia page, your "official report of Iran" is in Persian. English readers/editors are unable to verify it. This is what UNHCR said: "The Government of Iran is responsible for refugee registration and refugee status determination. It issues ‘Amayesh’ identification cards to refugees that enable refugees to access basic services, facilitate the issuance of work permits and seek durable solutions. In addition 620,000 Afghan passport holders who were previously undocumented or Amayesh cardholders have been issued with Iranian visas that allow them to reside in the country. The government estimates that there remains between 1.5 ‐ 3 million undocumented Afghans in Iran." http://www.unhcr.org/protection/operations/50002081d/iran-fact-sheet.html --David Liebman (talk) 17:17, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"According to government population figures, as of October 2011, Iran was hosting 882,659 registered refugees, of which 840,158 were Afghans and the rest Iraqi nationals. According to 2012 estimates by Iran’s official Bureau for Aliens and Foreign Immigrants’ Affairs (BAFIA), some 1.4 to 2 million Afghans not registered as refugees live and work in Iran. Together with the registered refugee population, that makes for a total of between 2.4 and 3 million Afghans in Iran." https://www.hrw.org/report/2013/11/20/unwelcome-guests/irans-violation-afghan-refugee-and-migrant-rights --David Liebman (talk) 17:24, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:NOENG. The sources could be in any language. Since this is related to Iran, Iranian sources are more reliable as they are more close to the events that happen in Iran. The Persian source I added to the article shows 2015 estimations. The report of UNHCR is most likely based on the pre-2015 Iranian report, even though it is published in 2016. Has UNHCR conducted an independent census in Iran? -- Mazandar (talk) 17:34, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOENG contradicts what you say. UNHCR actually documented each and every Afghan living in Iran, they total c. 951,142. All sources (including the one you cited) rely on UNHCR's data.--David Liebman (talk) 21:50, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually WP:NOENG confirms what I said, read it carefully. And again, as I said, UNCHR's report is based on early Iranian reports, they didn't conduct any census in Iran. If you do believe Afghan refugees are just 1 million, you better don't involve yourself in that article. I myself will edit it based on reliable sources when I find some free time. -- Mazandar (talk) 05:14, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stop confusing yourself. Your own news report says 1 million registered Afghan refugees live in Iran. Refugees are people in need of protection who cannot go back to their country. I'm sure you know this because so many Iranian refugees are fleeing to the US, Europe and Australia. They must go to the UNHCR in Iran for assistance, the process is the same as applying for asylum in the US, Europe or Australia. That's what the 1 million refugees have done, and all their information is with the UNHCR. They can voluntarily go back to Afghanistan but cannot be deported, see United Nations Convention against Torture. Those who enter Iran using Afghan passports and Iranian visas are not refugees, they are temporary visitors just like any other visitor from any other country. Similarly, those who enter illegally are not refugees. If there are 1 million illegal aliens in Iran, where are they? Does Iran have sanctuary cities? Do Iranians keep Afghans in their homes? Do Iranians rent homes to illegal aliens? Do Iranians hire illegal aliens? How do these 1 million illegal aliens survive in a very strict country like Iran?--David Liebman (talk) 11:44, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, be careful to not violate WP:CIVIL. Second, that's just "your own interpretation". We don't write articles based on personal opinions. Reliable sources consider all of these three groups as "refugees". Whether you like it or not, that definition should be used on Wikipedia. You can talk about it with Iranian or Afghan officials, but Wikipedia is not a WP:FORUM and original research is prohibited. -- Mazandar (talk) 11:58, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My own interpretation? Click on Refugee, then slowly read it and learn the correct meaning of the term, this is not something to debate over. No, visa holders are NOT refugees, and illegal aliens are NOT refugees. Like I said, stop confusing yourself. I'm not in the mood to argue with you. Do you call European visitors to Iran refugees?--David Liebman (talk) 12:42, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The definition of refugee isn't important at all. The only important thing in Wikipedia is WP:VERIFY. And as I said, reliable sources consider all of these three groups as refugees. The president of Iran could be considered as a refugee if reliable sources consider him as one, let alone European visitors. That's good you're not in the mood to argue with me, I appreciate it, so please take all of your concerns to the talk page of the article and wait for the comments of other editors. -- Mazandar (talk) 12:53, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here we go again. Name a source that considers all of these groups as refugees. Wikipedia will never allow such nonsense.--David Liebman (talk) 13:06, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The majority of Iranian and Afghan sources (if not all of them) consider all of these three groups as "Afghan refugees", just refer a random Iranian or Afghan source (but you can't find the word "refugee" in them, because this word has a negative connotation, Persian sources usually use "emigrant" (muhajir) instead of "refugee"). But, to name a particular source, this source, Encyclopedia Iranica, is a reliable and independent source which confirms what I said. Beside that, do note that the title of the article is "Afghans in Iran", not "Afghan refugees in Iran", so even if we use your definition of "Afghan refugees", we can still include those "undocumented" or "economic emigrants". -- Mazandar (talk) 13:22, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Iranian and Afghan sources call Afghans born inside Iran as Afghan refugees, but that is for political reasons. Unlike in Western countries, these countries (including many other countries) do not give citizenship to people from other countries. The article Afghans in Iran must clarify all this and it does. The point here is, are you saying there are 2.5 million Afghan refugees inside Iran? Or, are you saying there are 2.5 million Afghans in Iran? Your source clearly says 1 million are refugees, half a million are visa holders and 1 million are illegal aliens. The above source is not inconsistent with this. Every Iranian and Afghan source says the same thing. Why are we arguing?--David Liebman (talk) 14:14, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Surely we can write about those "political reasons" if there are reliable sources about them. Regarding the Persian source, the source clearly groups all of these 2.5 million as "Afghan muhajirs", (literally means "emigrant", but is understood as "refugee"). That part of the article is consistent with the source. -- Mazandar (talk) 14:38, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You write about it, the internet is full of reliable sources. See these latest reports [9] [10] You are purposely becoming ignorant by dismissing the obvious difference between a refugee and a person who merely visits another country. Why you put "Amayesh program" in place of refugees?--David Liebman (talk) 15:51, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If the word refugee has a negative connotation, then why don't Muslims talk about this when it comes to their prophet Muhammad, he was a refugee. So were many other prophets, Jesus, Moses, Abraham, and etc. Even Ayatollah Khomeini was a refugee, I can name 100s (or 1000s) of other such refugees.--David Liebman (talk) 16:03, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Again, your comments violate WP:CIVIL, be careful if you don't want to get blocked. Even your own "reliable" sources are saying those undocumented Afghans are "refugees": "Iran hosts some three million Afghan refugees, (...) only an estimated 950,000 are United Nations-registered, as Iranian authorities have not provided all Afghan refugees with an opportunity to legally claim asylum." Do you have any reliable source which support your claim that undocumented and illegal emigrant Afghans are not "refugees"? If you don't have any source for that, then I'm afraid talking about it is fully pointless as Wikipedia should be written based on reliable sources. Even if you can find a source, it is still useless, as Wikipedia only reflects the most widely accepted POV (WP:UNDUE), and the vast majority of the sources are unanimous in that all of these three groups (documented undocumented, illegal emigrants) are "refugees". BTW, why are you debating over this anyway? The article doesn't claim those undocumented and illegal emigrants are "refugees", even the title of the article is not "Afghan refugees", it's "Afghans in Iran", and those so-called "non-refugees" also belong to the group of "Afghans in Iran", so they should be mentioned. You can take your concerns to the talkpage of the article, so that other users can mention their opinions. -- Mazandar (talk) 17:26, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I started this discussion to teach you that UNHCR is present and involved in Iran. Afghanistan's situation has materially changed in the last decade. Afghans outside Afghanistan are no longer refugees, except those designated as refugees (most of which were born in Iran, possessing Iranian birth certificates). Members of that group eventually get Western passports stating birth place as Iran. The phrase "Iran hosts some three million Afghan refugees" is obviously referring to the Afghans who entered Iran before 2002. These days no Afghan can enter Iran without Afghan passport and Iranian visa. Those who enter illegally get arrested and then deported. I've been trying to make you understand this, have no issue with your last statement.--David Liebman (talk) 18:47, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@David Liebman: Oops, sorry, I didn't notice your good faith effort to explain things, sorry of my ignorance. And thanks for the useful information. BTW, recently I've became highly interested in Afghanistan and I'm eager to know more, could I send you an email, so that we could talk more? Thanks again for the information! -- Mazandar (talk) 15:53, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, you can email me. I don't edit Wikipedia but just decided to update information about the Afghan refugees. I deal with immigration stuff and wanted to clarify that not all Afghans are entitled to UN protection in Iran and Pakistan.--David Liebman (talk) 17:41, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
