Talk:2024 Iranian presidential election

Clarify

Need to clarify. Does the next president serve until the end of Raisi's regular term or is it a new four-year term? I am quite suspicious over the insertion by the IP in the infobox. Borgenland (talk) 15:44, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Missing info

Mahan alihaji (talk · contribs), please provide the exact quote in [1] that supports your claims of Jalal Jalalizadeh being a candidate in this election. I have been reading the article three times and clicking ctrl+F in a futile exercise to corroborate this. Borgenland (talk) 16:52, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Women

what does it even mean https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024_Iranian_presidential_election&diff=prev&oldid=1226930033&title=2024_Iranian_presidential_election&diffonly=1 Baratiiman (talk) 17:20, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

It's already duplicated in the candidate box. Better for you to put a footnote stating that she's a woman. Borgenland (talk) 17:23, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Colors

The Front of Followers of the Line of the Imam and the Leader official color is black, however in the 2013 election inbox a more neutral color was selected for their candidate. Should Alireza Zakani's color be changed to a more neutral color like orange or some other color? Same question, should Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf's color be changed to another color such as yellow/gold as reflected in the 2013 election article to be more distinctive from Pourmohammadi's green color?

Below I'll list a proposal of candidate colors so that they're more distinctive and easier for readers to discern.

Proposed candidate colors

Hex code	Percentage
#A91101	Jalili
#ffbf00	Ghalibaf
#FE6100	Zakani
#00008B	Hashemi
#9370db	Pezeshkian
#08974a	Pourmohammadi

I perfectly agree with you, especially with the colors of Ghalibaf and Pezeshkian. I suggest we flip the color of Jalili with Hashemi. (check the 2013 election article) Oganesson007 (talk) 20:02, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Sounds good. I'll wait for further consensus before formally switching colors. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 20:13, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

@TDKR Chicago 101 i think Pezeshkian and Pourmohammadi need to be swapped, green has historically always been a reformist color. Rhraj (talk) 13:03, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Good thinking! I think that's a good idea to follow precedent. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 17:33, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree. Purple is a perfect color for Pezeshkian, as it was also Rouhani's color (the main reformist candidate in 2013 & 2017 elections. Pezeshkian is the main, official candidate of the reformists and Zarif, the key member and a minister of Rouhani's government, is also anticipated to become the minister again if Pezeshkian wins). Green on the other hand is more related to principlists, as it was Raisi's color in 2017 and 2021.

My take is it's much better to keep the colors consistent with previous elections (2013, 2017, and 2021). Oganesson007 (talk) 03:28, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

@Oganesson007

except Rouhani is rather center, in 2013 as you can look up reformist candidate is Mohammad Reza Aref, not Rouhani, it was a strategic vote for reformists, it's even mentioned in the reformist article on Wikipedia.

You can look up Rouhani's party Moderation and Development Party

Zarif himself was a reformist figure who worked extensively in the ministry of foreign affairs during Khatami's presidency.

He was rather a reformist that Rouhani used.

Green goes back to the Iranian Green Movement .

But all that is irrelevant because #01989c light blue has been selected and used in the last two days in the meetings. Rhraj (talk) 14:42, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Reformists Front section has been sabotaged

Pezeshkian is being quoted and referenced wrongly, he never said to vote for others nor that he's only there to promote it. Rhraj (talk) 12:58, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

I think Iran International which is known to be very hostile toward Iran , misquoted him, as of you see the full statements in [2] it seems he meant it in a more literal sense of the word "principle" instead of a political faction AlexBobCharles (talk) 12:10, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Also if you check the source [3] he meant that its better to vote than not vote , not that vote for other people. It seems that the person who wrote these is not fluent in Persian and misunderstood AlexBobCharles (talk) 12:12, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

The more i read the article , the more i see errors like this.

The article needs to be checked AlexBobCharles (talk) 12:45, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

why do you delete the source? "What he means" is not what he's said

he did not say he is melted in supreme leader this isn't steven universe he said he is melted in velayet Baratiiman (talk) 13:28, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Read the source

بنده رهبری را قبول دارم؛ اصلا ذوب او هستم

رهبری means Leader

He didn't say ولایت فقیه AlexBobCharles (talk) 15:36, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

@Baratiiman

Sources like Iran Intl are biased and politically motivated. They tend to mistranslate and misquote. He's quoted by Iran intl regarding morality police that "he'll talk with them", while what he exactly said was "This force and plan is darkness, people who don't wear hijab are our children too, we shouldn't hit them or treat them badly, like my children i will talk with them"

This them is referring to people not the police.

This is only one example of how badly certain media mistranslate and misquote him. Rhraj (talk) 14:57, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

If it is any consolation to you, @Baratiiman (who was largely responsible for such incoherent edits that led to the article needing a cleanup tag) had been flagged multiple times for tons of crappy grammar and POV language (a fondness for bashing rather than criticising for example) yet they insist on editing poorly in a classic case of WP:IDNHT. On another note, how the devil does a person melt? Borgenland (talk) 14:17, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
