  • "1928" checks out in the source as given above, and "important" checks out in the title of one of the refs (Demirci 2010a) in the article. Thank you for uploading this article - beautifully written, and fascinating.

I just wish that you had been able to include some translations of the poetry. Yes I know that you need a poet to write a whole other poem for that, because poems are untranslatable really - but hey, someone must have had a go? But that is just my opinion, and DYK does not require that element. So, well done. Storye book (talk) 15:49, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words, Storye book. I would love to include an example of Kishvari's poetry in the article. However, unfortunately, none of his poetry has been translated into English yet (He's barely even mentioned in English-language sources!). We can only hope that a good fellow will undertake this task in the future. — Golden talk 22:35, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
Come back, Ezra Pound, all is forgiven (he wrote awful translations, IMO, but at least he tried). Good luck, and all the best. Storye book (talk) 08:12, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
