Firooz Kooh in Greater Tehran?!

This is the second time that I have to tell @Farnaj57 that Firuzkuh is not part of the metropolitan area. All maps show that this small city is over 100 km away from the Greater Tehran’s urban agglomeration.

Stop adding images

We need to make sure this article can load up with an normal internet connection, even right now there are too many images... idk why but deleting them is not easy too.. FreeZoneF (talk) 00:19, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Not that this is a country page.... But a good example would be to follow the parent article Iran that follows WP:COUNTRYGALLERIE , MOS:UPRIGHT and MOS:SANDWICH. Moxy🍁 00:34, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
@Moxy Thanks for your concern. I'm leaving WP for a while, can you please watch this article? A user is kinda destroying this article by adding misleading information. I can not undo his changes anymore and I'm sure nobody gives a "damn" about this article too.. FreeZoneF (talk) 22:08, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Geography & Administrative set-up

In which Districts and then Rural Districts or Cities are Tehran's 1st and 20th municipal districts in Shemirant and Ray counties? I think this needs a bit more detail than simply stating that they are in those counties, which are quite physically expansive. --Criticalthinker (talk) 10:07, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Lead image

The current lead image shows Azadi Tower, which is not a good representation of a megacity of over 10 million people.
