Hi,

Heja has a long history of de-Persianizing WP. Dont be surprised. When you have clear reputable sources that dont mention any controversy, dont hesitate to engage in reverting these editors. Just be careful of the 3R rule, and keep your cool, and end your talk edits with a cheers:) just like they do. Good luck.--Zereshk 03:20, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A bad faith nomination if there ever was one. Really encyclopedic behavior. Please see the website of the Royal Academy of Arts exhibition, co-created by a professor of Harvard University, entitled "Turks: The journey of a thousand years: 600-1600 [1].. It might help you with grasping certain concepts, notions and historical information that you are in sorely in need of acquiring. Baristarim 16:28, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Completely bad faith comments of non-academic character. Later Tang Dynasty Later Jin Dynasty Later Han Dynasty in China were founded by Shatuo Turks, see the relevant articles before you insult others by calling them pan-Turkist etc. Here is the link from Brittanica for Shatuo Turks [2]. This is really unacademic and insulting behavior for such nominations to take place. Baristarim 16:53, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The level of hate and unacademic behavior is astounding. From the article Late Tang dynasty: It was also the first in a series of three dynasties ruled by the Shatuo Turks,. Got any more questions? I suggest you read the relevant articles, make some research on the subject before insulting others of "pan-Turkism". Is the Brittanica also pan-Turkist? Baristarim 16:56, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So did you take a look at the articles and brittanica reference above and actually learned that your post to the AfD was completely wrong? You should learn the subject matter in its entireity before harassing articles. It is obvious who is making baseless accusations and engaging in non-academic behavior.Baristarim 17:33, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

the topic of the article is POV not the individual parts of it. (that is why it was nominated for AfD; not deleting that parts). any way please give your comments on that page. If you are right, there is no problem, an admin would keep that. --Pejman47 17:37, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

????? turks.org.uk is the official website of the Royal Academy of Arts exhibition, ok? I wonder if it is bad faith or something else at play here, check the BBC News story about it, and follow the link [3]. That exhibition was co-created by a Harvard University professor.Baristarim 23:33, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So did you take a look at Germanic Europe, Slavic Europe, Arab world, Latin Europe? Maybe you should since you claimed that there was no such article as Arabic States.. Funny that there is one :) Baristarim 16:20, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Pejman!

During last month I worked on this article. I would like to invite you and other Iranian wikipedians to see the article and help in improving it. I would like to invite you to see the parts on Iranian culture in particular. We have to stop people like Mohammad Ali Ramin and Fardid followers. They are destroying the country and culture. Long live Iran! Sina Kardar 15:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note. Since I wrote the article, it might somehow reflects my POV. I hope people contribute to this article and bring it to a good status. Then I will be happy to translate it into Persian. ba sepaas. Sina Kardar 13:00, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD

Hi,

I read your comments on this AfD and just wanted to make sure you knew that part of what makes this a fork is that this only deals with allegations regarding one side (instead of both), and that the small portion of the content which is encyclopaedic and worth keeping could easily be dealt with in an NPOV manner on the main article. Regardless of whether you reconsider your vote, thanks for your words and all the best. Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 02:47, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you reverting my additions? I spent a lot of time finding the sources and writing that intro. You reverted many additions that I had done in good faith with the aim of being precise. What objections? The sources are there, and the books cited are all visible.. Please do not do any blind reverts, it is not respectful to the work of others. Please see the specifics of the subject [here].. Why are you insisting on placing Persian before Byzantine? My last version was the academically precise version. Those sources mentioned are one from a forum and a book description and are not consistent with the actual words from the books of academics who have specifically written on this subject. Please look at my points in the link I gave above, and the books that I referenced. I tried in good faith to address the concerns raised and spent time rewriting that intro with the sources. Thanks Baristarim 16:25, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Two Articles in need of your attention

There are two entries at Wikipedia, which have falsely created -- they are Turco-Persian and Turko-Persian Tradition. Both entries are factitious. I have requested the entries to be deleted. My reasons are:

The term Turko-Persian Tradition (or Turco-Persian) does not exists academically and it is a factitious entry! Check the Encyclopaedia Iranica to confirm -- The correct name for that culture is the Persianate culture not the "Turko-Persian". Turkophones (mostly of mixed race and Persianized in culture) only spoke in Turkic dialects and were in the military. That is not enough participation in creating and forming the culture to deserve the name "Turko-Persian Tradition" – This is misinformation. All the elements in that area, which have to do with tradition and culture, were drawn from the Iranian culture (Persian, Kurdish, Azari, Baluchi, Tajik, Luri, Gilaki, Talishi, Mazandarani, etc.), and the Islamic faith, not much Turkic elements (like shamanism, yurts etc.) were incorporated in. That is what makes the name "Turko-Persian" an imaginary one and therefore the entry should be deleted.

Any contributions would greatly appreciate – please add your comments, whether you agree with the deletion, or otherwise to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Turco-Persian as well as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Turko-Persian Tradition. Bā Sepās Surena 02:51, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Careful with the word "vandalism"

You recently made a revert[5] to the article Noam Chomsky, with the summary, "rv vandalism". The revert that you have done may be entirely justified, but it is certainly not vandalism. The author was attempting to make a good faith edit to the article, and you seem to have written it off as vandalism... why? It is not obscene, it is not a "hi mom", rather, it's pertinent and reasonable information for a wikipedia article. If the information was simply misplaced, then an edit placing the information to be in the appropriate place may be in order. If it doesn't fit style and recommendation guidelines, it would be better to fix it up, and turn it into brilliant prose. At the very worst, in this case of a good faith edit, a section could be opened in the Talk page, addressing the edit, and containing information about how best to handle the information, where it could be placed, or debating its need. But reverting such a good-faith edit under a banner of "vandalism", I feel is inappropriate, and irresponsible. You are however privy to your own opinions and views. Although, I, as only a single wikipedian editor, feel it would not be unreasonable to ask for a rational behind the classification of it as vandalism. --Puellanivis 23:13, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I was actually just about to raise this very issue and am glad you brought it up Puellanivis. Please read WP:Vandalism to see what constitutes vandalism.--Jersey Devil 03:50, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You did this again in the following edit [6] Please be more careful in what you refer to as vandalism in edit summaries.--Jersey Devil 06:14, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, you mean this.. Well, read that policy again... Baristarim 19:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry, but after the harassment on the Ottoman architecture page, even after I spent so much time rewriting the intro and trying to address all the concerns in good faith, and after having left notes on the talk page and tried to contact all the users involved with extensive notes, I really don't think I am the one who needs to be warned for something. As a result, that article got protected, and my plan to further work on the article got delayed. That is also not fair nor cool. I spent a lot of time finding the precise academic sources and explaining the gradual development of the Ottoman architecture over the centuries, but no, people simply kept on blindly reverting me with two sources that were not sources at all, nor did their content warrant such an inclusion before Byzantine influence. Is that fair? Why hasn't anyone responded to my notes on their talk pages or the article's talk page? So please, take it easy... Baristarim 19:11, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, after the lock from Ottoman architecture is removed, we will discuss it. --Pejman47 21:13, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Khorasani Turkish

I dont know what the hell they are talking about. They are obviously getting their validation from here. Ethnologue describes it as: "Midway linguistically between Azerbaijani and Turkmen, but not a dialect of either".

But my dad is from Quchan. And from what I know, it's not a language. At most, just a variation on Azari Lahjeh. The article even contradicts itself. The phoenetics and sounds that have been described in the article only amount to dialectical variations. It's not the characteristic of a "language".

Honestly, I dont know how to deal with it. Maybe we should add clarifications. But we need sources for that. And right now, Im occupied with exams and lab projects that I have to finish.--Zereshk 03:52, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Khorasani Turkic and not Turkish is not Azeri. It is an Oghuz Turkic language though. I have heared the speech of Afshar. They use Gh instead of G for q, and havean extra y before the root of verb and the ending of the personal declination of verb.

Azeri misses this, but it is used in Turkmen Babakexorramdin 22:58, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

No, I do not edit on Persian Wikipedia.Azerbaijani 23:48, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Azerbaijan

Did you really mean the 1st version? The difference is between describing Atropates as Iranian Median versus "satrap of Media." I revised to the latter because it wasn't clear whether or not Atropates was of Persian or Median blood. His ethnicity doesn't really matter here anyway, so I figured I may as well avoid the issue and say "satrap of Media." If you actually object to removing the tentative ethnic description, please tell me why it should remain before I request the unblock. I think that my revised version is better [7]. Do you agree? In any case, I'll need some more input from involved editors before making the request, or else there may be more changes. Mardavich says there is something he doesn't like about it, but hasn't posted his idea on adding more detail yet, so it is in limbo. Also, some of the 'more' Azeri editors need to speak up, though their previous comments have been open to this compromise before, so I don't expect too much of a problem from them unless Mardavich's idea involves disputed content. Hopefully, this whole ordeal can be settled soon. Thanks for your help. The Behnam 04:04, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Roazir

You wrote: "Don't forget that at least 2 other users from your opposite view in that article, are somehow from the Iranian Azerbaijan. We didn't want to do any harm to this article." I don't know where they are from, probably you and user:Azerbaijani. Many Iranian Azerbaijanis have written on the talk page of Azerbaijan and they seem not to appreciate what is written there. And let me say that what bothers me is the intentional inaccuracies and negativities. I care about all Azerbaijanis no matter where they live. This definitely includes those in the Republic of Azerbaijan. We shall not treat them as if (I quote you here) "they have lost almost Everything (culture, religion, honor, purity of women,...)" because this is none of our business (we are free people to choose) what they do with their culture, religion, honor, or what you call purity of women. We can discuss all these issues in blogs or other websites. The article is about one valuable word for all Azerbaijanis, and that valuable word is AZERBAIJAN. And according to all reliable (not Fars nationalists or Armenians) modern Azerbaijan, which was nothing but an informal territory, was referred to the land north of the Aras as well when those areas became populated by Turks (Azerbaijani type Turks). So this is not disputable, though older Azerbaijan was the Iranian side, but this is about a very long time ago, during the Arab occupation of Iran and before that. So this does not apply to modern history. Please, you and a few others, who have opposition to the Azerbaijanis of the state of Azerbaijan as being not pious or pure enough, let the reliable and unbiased sources be used and not make this article a simple pamphlet.

I found WESTERN (not Turkish) articles, quite reliable ones, that claimed that Iran aided Armenia, gave them electricity, food etc. This much actually makes me sick, to know that the country we the Azerbaijanis worked so much to build helps the enemy of our northern brethren!!! Roazir 22:12, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't disagree with what you have written. However it deeply disappoints and saddens me that Iran did not act in a more pro-Azerbaijani manner. The same thing happened when Armenians attacked Azerbaijanis in the early 20th century. Back then Iran was in a civil war though. In this article for example it is clearly written that Iran even gave a loan to Armenia for building the pipeline: http://www.iran-press-service.com/ips/articles-2004/september/khatami_armenia_9904.shtml

As long as the aggression was from Armenia toward Azerbaijan, Iran being the home for the largest number of Azerbaijanis in the world, should have respected its citizens and boycott Armenia. However the Mullahs in Iran have no problem with hipocrisy! Roazir 01:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Scythians

You forgot to let a reason on the talkpage. So I ask you here: What is your reason to revert valid information? Rokus01 17:17, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I never revert without reading the talk page. I found you with an appalling bias about the word "Aryan" and you were also working in behalf of your POV. ("Racism, fascism and a discussion mysteriously gone") who have told you that Aryan means racist or fascist? And I found the reasoning of Ali was more "sound". --Pejman47 21:30, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aryan is indeed a name basically related to the Indo-Iranian branch of Indo-European people. However, while the origin of this people and their offspring points to ancient unity in race, language and culture, it is not scientific to assume their offspring retained this same unity. Worse, maintaining such unity has been historically teinted by - indeed - nationalists, racists and fascists. As far as I am concerned the bias in the article is exactly this: Scythians are generally assumed to be from Indo-Iranian stock, but racial, cultural and linguistical evidence should be supplied for independently on each subject. Especially Scythians have been asserted to be of mixed composition. This should be included into the article, especially for being Aryan related. Like this, readers might easily draw wrong conclusions about the real Aryens and even project Scythian ways to PIE, as has been done too often in history already. Rokus01 20:20, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

MA and POV

I'm just curious. The statement is what MA is most well known for in the Western world and the accepted translation has been published in numerous verifiable and reliable sources. No on is adding their OPINION as to what MA said, just THAT he said it with incontrovertible evidence. Verified fact may be uncomfortable to some, but it isn't POV any more than Ariel Sharon's involvement in Sabra and Shatilla is POV. It is verified fact, which is why it's in the article. I'm curious as to whether you have a wikipedia policy based reason for this removal, as opposed to an uncomfortability with the facts in the case. Thanks. -- Avi 15:50, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I reverted this edit because you seemed to blank a lot of the article. This probably wasn't your intention; feel free to re-do the edit (but check with the Show Preview button first). Thanks – Qxz 22:37, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In [[[Māzandarān Province]], I only edited the top info box of the article. but you reverted me! I just noticed that anon user prior to me has done the vandalism. please if you have done that by a robot, fix it. --Pejman47 22:40, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've already explained this — read the message above. In particular, look carefully at the link I provided and you will see that you did indeed remove most of the article. No, I was not using a robot. Thanks – Qxz 22:42, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just saw the diff. you are right, but I only changed the info box and clicked on the "save page", do you any cause for this? --Pejman47 22:47, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you using an old version of Firefox and/or the Google Toolbar? Some versions have a bug that causes text to be removed from edit boxes. If so, it's best to upgrade to the latest version. If that's not the problem, the best thing to do is just try again — as I mentioned, it's a good idea to use the "Show Preview" button to double-check before saving an edit, which will catch this and other errors and save you having to go back and fix them. I'll reinstate the change you intended to make now, as it was clearly constructive. Thanks for your understanding – Qxz 22:52, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Georgians in Mazandaran

A substantial part of Mazandaranis are of Georgian decent. Many are assimilated into the mainstream Mazandaranis, but many others are aware of their Georgianness. The genetical impact of South Caucasian genes un the Mazandarani genetical make-up is confirmed by a recent research (see the page on Mazandarani people). Shah Abbas moved approcximately 200 000 Georgians to Mazandaran at the beginning of the 17th century, the number of their decedants (though many assimilated) count some million(s).

Hey. That guy is freaking out about the Georgian population in Mazandaran again. Better take a look. The Behnam 17:42, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm definitely willing to participate in reporting that guy if the situation gets bad enough. Right now he seems to think we are on a "crusade" against Georgians and other minorities in Iran. I'm certainly not, and I don't think you are either. Let's just keep the silly Georgian reference off the Mazandaran page, and if he continues to revert it without adding substance, and continues to attack us, then we can report the disruption. The Behnam 00:29, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Again and again I say, the term minority is a wrong one. We do not have minorities or majorities, but we have 'different ethnic groups' in Iran. And what do you mean silly? Is an original 17th century source of about 2000 pages 'silly'? I do not know why you guys act to agressively and try your best to be respectless? I see no logics in it. There have been many attempts of Persian supremacist, all over wikipedia vandalized Iranian pages and even beyond, disrepscting any kind of academic integrity, I correct them and moreover provide you with sources. You call me minority? Never-seen? Although you do not know my ethnicty at all ( I have never indicated my ethnicity, I said only I am Iranian, thogh it is interesting that you think that anyone who corrects the ethnic info on Iran, is a "minor"!)? and then calling it silly? Babakexorramdin 12:01, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Request for reviewing a BLP

I've restored the man's nationality per WP:MOSBIO, which states that the opening paragraph should give:

Name(s) and title(s), if any (see, for instance, also Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles))
Dates of birth and death, if known (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Dates of birth and death)
Nationality (In the normal case this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen or national, or was a citizen when the person became notable. Ethnicity should generally not be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability.)
What they did
Why they are significant.

However, I don't think Yusuf and Ahmad1977 are the same person. For one thing, his username suggests that he was born in 1977. Sami Yusuf was born in 1980, right? Khoi khoi 10:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Iran

Hello, I'd noticed your recent edit to the article Iran. The section of the article which you removed has been replaced. Wikipedia actually has many pages on current events, and regularly includes information about current events in articles such as Iran due to their relevance to the subject. If you believe a section of an article or the entire article is documenting a current event, please add the template {{current}} to the top of the section rather than deleting it. If in your opinion it would serve the article better to have the section removed, please discuss this on the talk page first. Thank you. Hersfold ^(talk/work) 20:45, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

number of native Persian speakers

you are mistaken. The number SIL gives for Iran alone is 22 million [8]. Tajiki speakers are given with another 3.4 million [9], and their total of 10 Persian dialects [10] adds up to ca. 33 million. dab (𒁳) 16:58, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sami Yusuf

Yes, something has been done. :-) Khoi khoi 09:34, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Azerbaijan (Iran)

You should really reconsider:

The existence of a dispute is obvious.
Removing dispute tags attesting to a existing dispute is disruptive, and has been severely deprecated.
Removing sourced material, however tendentious, is undesirable. The remedy is to include the sources that refute it.
Any editor is entitled to notice a dispute.
- For what it's worth, I have discussed the page, and have watched, with some dismay, the nationalist conflicts on the page. But I need not have done so to tag the article.

Azerbaijan (Iran)

It looks like you have three reverts in the last day or so in the midst of this edit war [11]. Please use mediation to resolve any disputes you encounter, rather than resorting to hostile confrontations. Edit warriors are commonly blocked, just as Farzinf, who had 4 reverts, was. I'm also very concerned about comments like calling others '"Adil-like" users'. Needless to say using another editor's name as as a pejorative, as it appears you are, is uncivil. Please take WP:CIVIL to heart. Thanks. Dmcdevit·t 22:54, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You have just reverted again despite my note above. You have had several such warnings before. If you continue, you will find yourself temporarily blocked form editing. Please follow my advice about dispute resolution. Dmcdevit·t 18:46, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Iran

Pejman, I added the same piece of information to Israel, US and Iran, not just Iran. I thought having it in all the three articles is better than having it in neither of them. --Aminz 11:58, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aryanam, Iran, human rights

I see the Iran naming dispute article mentions Aryanam, but does not mention that the use is unattested. Perhaps this should be noted; it is important to realize that there is no indication that the Achaemenids actually called their domain "Aryanam". Hence, *Aryanam, with the asterisk indicating lack of attestation. The Behnam 20:40, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you are OK with leaving the cylinder to the history section, perhaps you should mention that on the page so that others realize where you stand on the matter, since they may not look at my talk page. The Behnam 20:41, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there's enough activity right now to merit protection. You can add a request at WP:RPP if you want though. Khoi khoi 06:06, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bosniaks

Hello Pejman, earlier today you made an unexplained revert to Bosniaks. I have left a message on the article's talkpage about it, could you please explain your revert to Khoikhoi's version more clearly? I found your explanation rather vague and confusing. Thanks and take care.--Domitius 19:20, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why this silence?--Domitius 00:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that explanations for your reverts would be helpful. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 00:47, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I already gave that in that talk page. --Pejman47 19:57, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask why you reverted Mercenary2's edits? They were properly cited, although from a source I would not use. I would like you to let me know, because I am inclined to add them back in. Arcayne 01:55, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality

Could you please revive an actual neutrality discussion at Talk:Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? It would be nice to actually resolve the issue if possible rather than perpetually keep a tag up. Also, there has to be a real discussion going on to even merit the tag, so you should discuss this if you want it to stay there. The Behnam 23:56, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Arvandrūd

I think another user already fixed it. BTW, "Arvandrūd" isn't an English word. Do you think the title should use "Arvand River" instead? Khoi khoi 04:41, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
