Hi. I dipusted Image:Twogunhart.gif because the source says "1920s", not "1920". Therefor its just a chance that its US PD, not guarenteed. Hope this clears it up. Kevin_b_er 08:34, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
PUI disputes
Hello. If you believe that some image is not unfree, please participate in the discussion about the image on the page WP:PUI. Do not remove the tags, as it would constitute vandalism. By keeping the PUI tag, we can make sure that more people can participate in the discussion of the problem and fix it better, instead of a sudden removal. Ali Mohajerani 13:16, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

i wasnt trying to restart edit war. i did include the fact that he called himself persian. i just reasoned that, the paragraph title was awkward and kind of not true as just because he called himself Persian, doesnt mean he's actually persian. i still thought i'd please both sides by acknowledging that he considered himself persian. sorry.

i guess your rationale behind adding persian rock star is fair, even though i disagree, as it should apply to other Parsis. it doesnt matter though. regarding early life, "parsi" explains persian so people should just click the link Parsi and find out. i think the former sentence was best. hope that helps.

Parsis

Al-Farabi
This is a list of scientists and scholars associated with the Arab World and Islamic Spain (Al-Andalus) that lived from antiquity up until the beginning of the modern age. In some cases, their exact ancestry in unclear. They may have emigrated or immigrated, and thus may appear in other "Lists of...", but nevertheless their names and work are somehow linked to the words "Arab", and "Arabic". Somehow Al-Farabi is linked to the word Arab. I expected him to be there. He should be were people expect him. Add a note on origins if you wish. Don't make the encyclopedia less useful just to make ethnic points, please RuthieK 13:55, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- Al-Farabi was not an Arab. He was born in Central Asia and spoke variety of languages. There are some Persian poems attributed to him as well. The fact is al-Farabi might have been an Iranian or a Turk, but an Arab definitely not. Also writing in Latin does not make multitude of European scientists Roman. --alidoostzadeh 16:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- Plenty of Roman writers were 'Spanish' or 'North African', they are still 'Roman writers','Latin authors'. Paul Celan belongs in a list of German writers, Aimee Cesar, French, VS Naipaul, English, Nabokov, American. To write histories of German, French, English or American literature without them is stupid. It is perverse to leave them out of such lists - and more inportantly unhelpful to the user. It can be practically useful to know distinguish Arab from Berber from Turk from Persian - but people who come to wikipedia for information on science aren't primarily interested in parochial studd like that. Much more important is that those people should contribute something to world now as they did so many centuries ago. RuthieK 21:52, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Dear Mardavich I have a nice article about Al-Farabi, please send me an email alidoostzadeh@yahoo.com . It might be helpful. --alidoostzadeh 16:45, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Pan Turkism
Please dont revert any article without reading the new content, this is Vandalism. If you have any knowledge about it, put them there also. Pan-Hellenism and Enosis (which live now)other fanatic movements like as Pan-Slavism and Pan-Germanism. Regards. Mustafa Akalp 17:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
transcluded
There it is most relevant & instructive.
But, maybe, I shouldn't have done it insofar as it is transcluded in Politics of Iran/--Patchouli 09:30, 8 October 2006 (UTC) Remove it if you want.--Patchouli 09:31, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment on Pishevari. I have some articles on Pishevari which you might find useful and if you like to read them, please email me: alidoostzadeh@yahoo.com
Islamic conquest of Persia
Thx for notifying me. Yes, I think that the edit is mostly POV. It should be reverted. Arabic was forced on the people as a primary language, not just as an "administrative language". In fact, for many decades, it was forbidden to speak another language than Arabic. Certain populations, such as the population of Khwarizm . Tājik 16:03, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Iran.
I see you have some problems regarding Iran's status as a rogue state and also the fact that it is part of the Axis of evil. Could we please discuss the matter on Talk:Iran. Thanks. Cerebral Warrior 10:17, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Wow!
You're awesome!

Btw, thanks for taking an interest in the articles on Iranian counties that I created. Some of them could do with fleshing out! :) - Francis Tyers · 11:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Style
I'm pretty familiar with style; as far as I know there is no standard form which a "city" article needs to take. I'd be g=lad if you could point me to the policy page that dictates that there are certain sections which cannot be included. And of course crime is not only covered in the New York City article, it's mentioned in the introduction! And red links are not bad, they are there to encourage article writing.- Nunh-huh 03:21, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Re:Gardash
Salam,
Mene yazdiginiza gore chokh sag olun. Men her zaman Azerbaijan ve Iran ishtirakchilari arasinda dostluq munasibetlerin olmasini arzulamisham ve biz Ali Doostzade ile her zaman bir-birimizi anlamishiq. Lakin Khosrow artiq derecede milletchidir ve onun Azerbaijan haqqinda megaleleri pis hala goymasi javabsiz galmayajaq. Eger siz hemin shekhsi basha sala bilseniz ki, bu duzgun hereket deyil, biz bir choz problemleri hell ede bilerik. Men her zaman Iranli ishtirakchilarla dostluq munasibeti yaratmaqa chalishmisham, lakin bezi insanlar bunu istemir. Hormetle, Grandmaster 07:56, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
