Wow this site has become pretty infultrated

There are definitly infultrators who serve other interests working on this website. The Israeli attacks on Lebanon exposed them. Anyways I thought you might want to look at this.

Help request

Hi Zereshk! So someone has put a chunk of text about typesetting Nasta'liq (calligraphic style) in Nasta'liq, that is not polished or anything, with no references and all that. This degrades the quality of the article and I'm not sure whther it actually contributes much. What would you do to that? remove it? polish it? I can't polish it since I simply don't understand what it is talking about... Any help/idea will be much appreciated Mtdashti 15:09, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Anahita.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Anahita.JPG. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

User:Armandeh

I have reported Hessam (Armandeh) to an admin, User:Khoikhoi. You should state your problems to him as well about any problems you have had with him. He continues removing links and categories even from articles like Zahra Kazemi! I have discovered that Sharif University has not much citations and one image there has no source! Khodavand 02:43, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

You should stay here more because Hessam is going overboard with his false claims and attacks. See his new comment on Talk:WikIran. He also doesn't know anything about Wikipedia because he claims that Wikipedia has "editorial oversight" and "third-party fact checking"! LOL It's sad that he is an admin on Farsi WP and became that way out of politics. I wish Wikimedia Foundation would investigate Farsi WP and force it to clean up their act!

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 02:48, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Anti-Iranianism

In case this edit summary was about me [3], I just want to clear up that my revert was back to your version. GabrielF removed the improvements. The Behnam 01:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Zereshk,

I am writing in regard to the Anti-Iranianism article. Let me start out by noting that I think the article should be kept (and have noted so in the AfD). However, the problem that I have with the article (and my reason for deleting over half of it) is that the article makes no distinction between hostility toward the Persian and Iranian states and animosity toward the Persian and Iranian peoples. I believe the two topics should be separated.

I agree with User:The Behnam's (correction:User:Khorshid's) assertion (on my talk page) that there exists a "movement to restrain Iran's development", but I don't think a strong case can be made for its existence prior to the 20th century. Although I favor removing much of the article (the Mongolian, colonial, and US sections), I do not think this information should be lost, so I have archived it here.

It is my desire to have a page that addresses only animosity (both historical and modern) toward the Persian and Iranian peoples (this would not include actions by various states against Iran, but could rather be demonstrated by public expressions). The "By Arabs" section does this quite well (even the section on the Iran-Iraq war includes information on Iraqi antagonism towards Iranians as a group). If the AfD result is keep or if the nomination is withdrawn (possible if the US section is dropped--see discussion on User talk:GabrielF), I would like to propose an improvement effort (hopefully with the help of members of "WikiProject:Iran" as my knowledge beyond the modern era is very limited) and will myself try to find reliable sources on anti-Iranian sentiment in the United States in modern times (to replace the existing section). Some of the sources you noted in the AfD, commentary by American public (both governmental and private) figures, and other examples (e.g., the anti-Iranian demonstrations during the hostage crisis were equally hostile to the Iranian government and the Iranian people) can demonstrate this.

If you are considering this so far, let me move on to the issue of what to do with the removed content. It would really be a shame to lose it. Perhaps it could be created as a new article (e.g., International sanction of Iran, International hostility toward Iran, or somesuch). Or it could remain on the Anti-Iranianism page and the other content (regarding animosity toward the Persian and Iranian peoples) could be moved to a new article titled Anti-Iranian sentiments (currently a redirect page).

Would you be willing to consider such an outcome (the particulars can be discussed) so that the two types of anti-Iranian antagonism (versus the state and versus the people) can be separated? -- Black Falcon 08:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Just a note; I agree that there is a movement to restrain Iran's development, but that was User:Khorshid who said that, not I. The Behnam 08:23, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

My apologies for the mistake (I have added a correction above). With all the back-and-forth, my memory betrayed me. Black Falcon 08:28, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Why should hostility toward the Persian and Iranian states and animosity toward the Persian and Iranian peoples be seperate? The two determine eachother's fates. Take 1953. If it were not for the CIA/UK Operation Ajax, Iran's popularly elected Prime Minister would not be replaced by a dictator that became notorious for his Savak torture prisons, and the rise of the mullahs themselves. Another example is the US unilateral sanctions on Iran's government. It has been proven that such sanctions only affect Iran's people, not its government, and yet the U.S. insists it effects the government. I've seen how these sanctions make people's lives miserable.

And yet, I have showed my will for a compromise: I have drastically trimmed down the US section. I hope that suffices, and that you meet me halfway as well.--Zereshk 08:28, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

True--the two are intertwined. However, animosity against the Persian and Iranian peoples requires some sort of negative emotional feeling, whereas hostility against Persia or Iran can simply be the product of political calculation. When a country occupies Iranian territory (e.g., Russia), how is that an indication of animosity toward the Iranian people rather than simple political self-interest? To classify it as such could be construed as original research. In any case, it's not so much a matter of me meeting you half-way (I favor keeping the article even as it is, but discussing possible changes on the talk page instead of the AfD), but rather of the AfD nomination not passing (or User:GabrielF withdrawing his nomination). Black Falcon 08:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

So you do agree that they overlap. Thus separating an overlapping issue will only bring more confusion. But sincerely, I think we are approaching a problem of definitions here. The 60 million$ question is: What does it mean to be "anti-Iranian"? Does it mean anti-sentiment? If yes, why? If no, why? First we must answer that. My approach was an all inclusive approach that covered all overlapping areas. But then again, even the "self-interest" you speak of automatically and innately carries with it a dis-interest, if you will, of the other party's rights and integrity. That's why president Bush is forced to explain his war with expressions like "liberating them", "bringing democracy to them", "helping the Iraqi people". If the Russians you speak of cared only for obtaining self interest, they wouldnt shell Iran's parliament, their soldiers wouldnt rape women during the occupation of Tabriz, and they wouldnt grossly disregard the local customs and norms, setting off vast protests by clerics and the Bazaar.--Zereshk 09:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, they do overlap at times (for example, the anti-Iranian protests in the US during the hostage crisis). However, I think the separation will bring more clarity--one article is about animosity against the people and the other about hostility against the state. And both should note non-trivial instances where they overlap. Having no interest in the welfare of X is not same as hating X, which actually requires intense interest (albeit of a negative kind). I (and pretty much everyone else outside of S. Africa) have no interest whatsoever in the Zulu of South Africa; however, neither I nor they are "anti-Zulu". As for the Russian example you gave--even though wars are fought between states, its people that do the killing. Feelings of hatred do arise during wars (it's easier to kill someone you hate), but I think it is inappropriate to classify that as "anti-X sentiment". Ask yourself this: did the Russians rape/kill Persians because they were Persians or because they were citizens of an enemy country? If we take this broader approach, almost every country at some time or another has been anti-everyone else, and this diminishes the importance of the subject. Black Falcon 17:57, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

BF, I disagree. If the article were titled "Anti-Iranian sentiments", you would be right. But that's why it isn't titled that. And this was decided in the last AFD. We're trying to cover a more general ground in the article precisely because political sentiment and people to people racial sentiments cannot and are not seperated. When the 1979 hostage crisis was in full gear here in the states, it was a fully political event against Khomeini's radical govt. And yet Iranians were routinely subject to attacks by mobs in the streets and universities in the US. Believe it or not I still get nasty looks by old folks who still remember the hostage era. If sentiment against the govt and sentiment against the people is seperate as u say, then why is it that Ahmadinejad has called for "wiping Israel off the map", and yet he is almost unanimously regarded as an anti-semite? We had to put up a grand fight here on WP to keep his article off of the anti-semitic category. How do u explain that?--Zereshk 23:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I attribute it to misunderstanding (at best), ignorance, and/or malice (at worst). People's negative emotions against a particular person or entity often carry over to individuals they perceive to be related to that person or entity, even if no objective basis for such a connection exists. Still, animosity against a government and against its people are conceptually different. If the current article were split into these components, anti-Iranianism directly following 1979 would be included in both: one article would cover US government action against the country of Iran (as well as the actions of other governments) and the other would include animosity against and discrimination of Iranians. Events (such as the hostage crisis and the recent nuclear enrichment controversy), and their consequences, that give rise to both types of animosity should be noted in both articles, although each should have a different focus. Would you agree to moving a portion of the content from the article to Anti-Iranian sentiments (currently a redirect page)--while still leaving the content on the first page? I am willing to do the move and resulting cleanup myself, but I am reluctant to do it if there is not a consensus for it from those who have participated in the creation of the article and the AfD. If the new article shows promise for future expansion, then it would be kept. If not, then we can nominate it for deletion (perhaps speedy deletion per db-author). Black Falcon 00:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

My biggest worry is that the article may be deleted and everything it contains will be lost. That, for me, is the worst possible outcome. Black Falcon 00:27, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Salaam Zereshk. I think you should keep out that big chunk that was removed; its archival on the talk page was part of a compromise deal being worked out. Truly, much of it isn't directly applicable to anti-Iranianism, and these were the concerns voiced at the Afd and on the talk page. The idea was that these sections be reviewed with the concerns put forward by a number of other users in mind, and only parts that are agreed upon as direct cases on anti-Iranianism be reinstated. By reinstating the lengthy synthesized sections, you are preventing the improvements that some users, myself included, felt the article could use. You are compromising the compromise, and in doing so, compromising the article's performance at the Afd as well as its general quality. I don't want this article to get deleted, so I think you should take out most of the tract again, and then propose reintroductions on the talk page for review. I almost had gotten it to the point that Gabriel would withdraw the Afd and agree to improving the article (was waiting for response; all of his conditions had been met), but the US, Mongol, and Russian aspects were particularly important to the deal. In general, other editors complained that the sources of the content themselves did not present the content as examples of anti-Iranianism, but that the authors of this article were taking these as examples under their own synthesis, which is a form of OR. I refer not to the entire article but only to a significant proportion of the aforementioned sections. I think that the approach I advocate will ultimately be best for the article by preventing conflict and assuring relevant content, and urge you to reconsider your reintroduction of the disputed content. The Behnam 08:19, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry that this seems repetitive; apparently Black Falcon and I had the same remarks and I didn't see it until I got an edit conflict notice, but didn't really bother comparing. The Behnam 08:25, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Persian Culture Page

Dear Zereshk, Khoikhoi refered me to you as you seem to be active on Iranian articles. I put a little extra section in Persian culture about religion as religion indeed is a part of culture. I know Iranian diaspora hates to be identified as Arabs and try to avoid subject of Iranian contemporary religion as it links us too much to Arabs. However, from an academic point of view, religion is an importan element and it should be mentioned.

We know it is impossible to go to live in Iran and not note the unique features of Iranian version of Islam and the days they celeberate in their unique way, such as Ashura and carrying Alam and Kotal. I thought that is very Iranian but shame the article has no mention of those.

Anyhow, pleasae do contribute and feel free to add/delete/modify the section. Regards, Persian Magi 10:58, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Texas Politics

• Hi Zereshk. I have detected a temporal inconsistency in the Austin, TX article, politics section. The inconsistent phrase reads "Of Austin's six state legislative districts, three are strongly Democratic, and three are swing districts, all of which will be held by Democrats when Valinda Bolton assumes control of District 47 this January.". I am tempted to change it to something like "Of Austin's six state legislative districts, three are strongly Democratic, and three are swing districts. Currently all six are held by Democrats", but since I do not have political knowledge about the region I judged it wiser to ask someone living there. ¿Could you please take a look at it?

Please see [6]. We need to change the WP:MoS for Persian transliteration. MoS forces us to use Arabic transliteration for Persian words. It makes no sense. Please see the problem I have now on transliteration of Kiarostami. [7]

Bakhtishu

The homeland of Syriac and Aramic people is Syria .And the name Bakhtishu according to (كتاب عيون الأنباء في طبقات الأطباء) Kitab oyoon al anbaa fe tabaqat al atebaa from the 12th century for ابن أبي أصيبعة ibn abi usaybia means ومعنى بختيشوع عبد المسيح لأن في اللغة السريانية البخت العبد ويشوع عيسى عليه السلام (servant of Jesus) in Syriac language . also you should mention that Yuhanna ibn Bukhtishu became Bishop of Mousel (893 CE) (northern Iraq) الموصل العراق .Also this family moved to Baghdad and later on to Northern Syria .Hope this helps to expand the articles --Aziz1005 15:56, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Now I got your point, I wish all other users can explain the way you explain and do not take things offensively. I Came from Syria and I know people who still can speak Aramaic and Syriac there are a lot of similarity in these languages and other Middle Eastern languages in particular Arabic Hebrew (Semitic languages) and perhaps Persian. Also In fact all Middle Eastern languages & people have affected each other thus you can not say that there is a pure ethnic group or language.

As far as I understood, There is no clear evidence for Iranian government's involvement in 1997 bombing. All they say is that Iran funds Hamas. However in 1997, Iran was not the main body that funded Hamas. 23 organizations in the US were funding Hamas between 1993-1997. [8] Also Saudi Arabia was among main sources of fundings in 1997.[9] According to an Israeili source in 2003: "the majority of Hamas funding currently comes from sources within Saudi Arabia. Sources like the International Islamic Relief Organization are just one step removed from the Saudi government as subsidiaries of the Muslim World League - a pseudo-governmental agency." the same source adds: "Hamas also gets money from Iran and elsewhere in the Muslim world, as well as from North America and Europe."[10]

Another source from Israel (2005):

Hamas’ funding comes from three [external] sources [11]:

• A. The United States
• B. France, Germany and Britain
• C. The Middle East : According to intelligence reports, 40% of Hamas’ annual income comes from the sheikdoms in the Gulf States and institutions such as [Islamic] [charitable] societies. In addition to the Gulf States, there is Iran, which contributes about 10% of Hamas’ annual income.

• Another source Neo-con source: "With the fall of Saddam Hussein, one of the primary financial backers of the Palestinian movement, Tehran stepped in to provide Hamas funding that would no longer be coming from Iraq." [12]

I think the above sources clearly indicate that Iran was not the main funding body of Hamas in 1997. Sangak ^Talk 12:42, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Salam Zereshk jan; I had a question about the image Image:Xerxes lash sea.JPG. I see that you uploaded this image. But do you think it has any encyclopedic value? I don't think that Xerxes the Great was stupid enough to punish the sea for the loss of the battle. And it only leads to missunderstandings that Xerxes was a foolish minded Empror of Persia who taught that the sea was responsible for his loss. I'm thinking of removing it from the article.

A clear example of Anti-Iranian sentiment:

• In 2007 the Arab director of "New York South Asian Film Festival" admitted that a conscious decision was made not to invite any Iranian filmmakers. Ahmed Issawi said: "That’s a territory I no longer want to tread". "It’s over. Given the whole thing with Iran—I refuse to approach it.", Issawi added.

Proto-Elamite Vase

Hello,

I was just wondering about the picture of the Elamite vase you posted on the article about Elam. Isn't the inscription written in linear Elamite as opposed to Proto-Elamite? The inscription on the cup/vase strongly resembles linear Elamite,the style of writing which succeeded Proto-Elamite. From what I've seen, Proto-Elamite writing is much simpler and is less pictorial than linear Elamite. But then again I'm not very familiar with Proto-Elamite history.

Take care.

Subject: User:The Behman

Hi Zereshk,

I have encountered the edits of The Behman. He came to my talk page today to ask not to revert the question you asked the other troll (forgot his name) about me and I felt it was UNECESSARY to implicate me in this way. So I edited your question and removed the part that involved me with his controversial and destructive attitude on Wikipedia. I was only following the Wikipedia's recommendation on how NOT to feed the trolls (see also:Wikipedia:What is a troll).

For the rest I am sure you would or have already seen by yourself that I did indeed remove the part of your question that named me unecessarily in this conversation (in my opinion). Please note I stand by ALL I said but I did not feel the bit concerned by his comment because I NEVER said anything bad or non-factual. I also placed a brief comment (same as here) in the edition box at the exact same time when I edited the question for you to see WHY 1-2 days ago.

Regards, SSZ 05:32, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I'd just like to clear up that I don't want you to go, as I think you are one of the better Iran editors out there. I don't know why SSZ thinks I do, either. His behavior is really confusing me. I just gave him a standard talk page refactor warning since he removed someone else's post, and now he has yelled about all sorts of things and removed my posts on that page. Anyway, I don't understand his behavior but I would like to apologize for any misunderstanding here. The Behnam 05:48, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I didn't "yell" at you Behnam. I just told you in a calm but firm manner why you were mistaken to give a warning on my discussion page the other day. That is all. SSZ 03:10, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
