| ::: One may not be an Islamist (or any other -ist), but still do their bidding inadvertently. It is sad, but often true. So, a bunch of laughable folk etymologies for the city's name, such as "Tah-i Ran" (meaning "the bottom end of the thigh" in Persian, i.e., the groin) proposed by certain, non-linguist, non-professional historians to mean "At the Bottom of the Mountains," --and then repeated by others, is okay, despite the ludicrous and laughable construction, but not a self-evident assertion of the existence of towns (and now neighborhoods in Tehran) of an array of Zoroastrian pantheon and zodiacal signs like Mehran, Firuz Bahram, Shahrbanu, Shahryar...etc, are not. That is what I meant by what is self evident but not your personal liking, versus that which is openly ludicrous but to your liking. All the same,I will delete this addition as soon as tomorrow. As the poet Sa'di writes 800 years ago: Attempting to educate an abstinent one, is as fuital as trying to balance a walnut on a dome. So, do carry on as you would. | |||

- I came here from the ANI, and I agree with LivinAWestLife here that a skyline is a much better representation. I completely disagree with your interpretation of this as propaganda. I'll break down your comment:
- "This is not Tehran." Objectively this is Tehran in the same way that the skylines of every major city we have an article about are those cities. Because it isn't reasonable to create some sort of 3D render of an entire city to put in the infobox (even if we could, this wouldn't be good for an infobox image), we have to make some sort of compromise to how much we can show, and skylines capture a lot of visual information. If anything, the Azadi Tower is a much, much smaller part of Tehran than an entire skyline.

What does "influencing the entire city" mean? What does "serving the entire city" mean? What are these criteria? Why are they good, useful criteria? Why do you single out articles on "Western cities" as meeting them? Does Sükhbaatar Square not "serve and influence the entire city" of Ulaanbaatar? Does Meskel Square propagandize the image of Addis Ababa? Is our image of the CIB for Bogotá in service of the Petro administration?
- "In Tehran, this is not the case." Why does this skyline of Tehran fail these thus-far completely nebulous criteria?
- "Your edit could be a kind of propaganda for the Iranian government to present a better image of Iran and Tehran." Literally any image we present of any major city could be construed as political in some way, because ultimately it is – everything technically is. However, how is showing a city's skyline first over a single monument (which, mind, is still in the infobox) "presenting a better image of Iran and Tehran" in service of "Iranian government propaganda"? Is there an angle of the skyline you think better represents it? Because this one seems extremely good. If anything, shunning a much more representative skyline over a single White Revolution-era monument feels a lot more like propagandizing (even though I want to emphasize that I don't think this is actually a serious concern) than what LivinAWestLife did.
- Honestly, I find this objection completely nonsensical and so vague as to be essentially unfalsifiable. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 11:46, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for summarizing my points with such clarity. I've had back-and-forth replies with Edward on my talk page and he hasn't been able to articulate why he would prefer the Azadi Tower over a picture of the skyline. LivinAWestLife (talk) 15:01, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
