Revision as of 20:41, 6 January 2008

This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.

I got a post-doc position, so I'll be more busy and have less time for wikipedia. If there is an issue on any article I made a consensus with other users, please e-mail me. You can also e-mail me with any other inquiries and I will respond back. To any reader reading this, I would not take wikipedia as a scholarly source on many history or social subject. Probably the arguments in the talkpages of disputed articles show this.

Thanks

The Barnstar of Diligence for your excellent work in Shahnameh and other Iranian articles. You are an "exception" among Misplaced Pages Users. --Pejman47 20:56, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

My response to barefact re:Scytho-Iranian theory

FYI:

I have reviewed the article and do not believe that much of it is appropriate for WP. Please see WP:FRINGE and WP:UNDUE. The weight of scholarly consensus is that the Scythians were an Iranian peoples; a tiny minority holds that they were Turkic. This article implies the reverse.

It may be worth a brief mention in the article on Scythians along the lines of "Scholar A, Scholar B, and Scholar C argue based on linguistic evidence that the Scythians were proto-Turkic rather than Iranian; this view is not widely held."

Request

Hi, would you please check the historic sections of Mazandaran Provinceand in the case that it contradicts academic sources, rewrite it?--Pejman47 16:54, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Literature template

Thanks for additions. I think those look OK now, except for citation "5", saying also part of Literature of Iran. It's OK to create this template and add the authors there. But some authors listed in this template are also part of Literature of USSR, Literature of Russia and Literature of Turkey. This would create confusion, if we have to add each one of those, don't you think? Also, I think the article about Parvin Ehtesami needs some improvement and sources, it would be great if you can improve it. Atabek 21:29, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Merci beaucoup

Oui, monsiuer. But it appears problems are so few, and Mardavich is disappeared. Khorshid 11:37, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

For your attention

Dear Ali doostzadeh, you may wish to consult my note on . Kind regards, --BF 11:04, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. I have now again left a message for this deranged individual. You may wish to consult: User:Samadli. Someone should make an effort and lock the entry to the article in question; it is just a wast of time to counter this madman thrice each day. Kind regards, --BF 10:08, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Chionites

Heh, alright. I just wrote in alphabethical order. If i knew that the order of "x or y" was important, then i would already wrote it as "y or x". Logically, it does not matter. Regards. E104421 16:23, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

• I wonder why you reverted my edits to Tajik's version. He removed the reference at the beginning section, changed the alphabetical ordering, too, in order to cover up Chineese. The mainstream historians regards Chionites as Red Huns. On the other hand, he added "(red)" within the direct quotations, but this could be added in the notes section. If you quote something directly you do it directly. By the way, you removed the reference to "Red Huns" terminology, too. Regards, E104421 12:57, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, , I really don't know why you so insist putting an unkown literary figure in this template. If you dont agree me, let's try Misplaced Pages:Third opinion. I strongly disagree the notablity of this person. Thinks.Aparhizi 18:26, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Turkish people

Please take a look at and write a short comment. Thank you. Regards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.83.129.97 (talk) 23:05, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

hmm too much OR.. I noticed they even misquoted the genetic study and left out the crucial part. For example:high resolution SNP analysis provides evidence of a detectable yet weak signal (<9%) of recent paternal gene flow from Central Asia" (which means at most 9% have real central asian (Turkic) roots). Also this statement:The major components (haplogroups E3b, G, J, I, L, N, K2, and R1; 94.1%)

are shared with European and neighboring Near Eastern populations and contrast with only a minor share of haplogroups related to Central Asian (C, Q and O; 3.4%), Indian (H, R2; 1.5%) and African (A, E3*, E3a; 1%).but the article is outside of my interest. This was also omitted from the same study. The stuff about Amazons (I didn't even bother with the source) seems fantatic. I would put a dispute tag sign and OR sign... but I can't take care of every article that has lots of distortion/nonsense in it.. --alidoostzadeh 02:28, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Divar for later

كشف بقاياى سومين ديوار بزرگ تاريخى جهان در درياي مازندران به گزارش واحد مركزي خبر بقاياي سومين ديوار بزرگ تاريخي جهان در آب‌هاي درياي مازندران كشف شد. ديوار دفاعي گرگان پس از ديوار چين و ليمس آلمان، طويل‌ترين ديوار تاريخي جهان است. سرپرست هيأت باستان شناسي حاضر در منطقه در مصاحبه با خبرنگار واحد مركزي خبر گفت: در كاوش اخير به كمك جولين ونس رزنبرگ (غواص باستان شناس انگليسي) علاوه بر سازه معماري اين ديوار، قطعاتي از سفال‌ها و آجرهاي تاريخي نيز كشف شده - كه ابعاد آن حدود 150 در 136 متر مربع است - قلعه باستاني، اسكله و يا لنگرگاهي باشد كه در دوره ساسانيان از آن استفاده مي‌شد. سرپرست هيأت باستان شناسي حاضر در منطقه گفت: آجرهاي كشف شده قرمز رنگ و به ابعاد 37 در 37 در 10 سانتي متر است كه اطراف آن به مرور از جلبك پوشيده شده است. ديوار دفاعي گرگان از كرانه‌هاي درياي مازندران در غرب استان گلستان تا ارتفاعات بيلي كوه در پارك ملي گلستان به طول 200 كيلومتر و عرض 2 تا 10 متر در زمان ساسانيان به منظور جلوگيري از هجوم اقوام هپتال ساخته شده است. ديوار بزرگ گرگان به عنوان شاهكار ارزشمندي از ايران باستان در سال 1378 به شماره 2345 در فهرست آثار ملي كشور به ثبت رسيده است (روزنامه اطلاعات، 20/6/1386، ص 9). Translation: The World's third largest wall (the first being that of China and the second in Germany) was found in Northern Iran. This wall was probably created to keep the Hephtalites away.. hopefully we will learn more about this important discovery soon. --alidoostzadeh 03:36, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

AE

Ali, I posted response on AE, also the cartoon article was created by Hajji Piruz not by someone else to "attack him". Also, my edit here was a compromise adding the historical title Persia, while removing controversial link to Iranian peoples. So your restoration of edit "to the way it was" was not quite complete. Finally, I doubt anyone assuming that Azeri Turks or Uzbeks are Iranian peoples can be ever neutral on the subjects related to Iran or Azerbaijan. Please, don't take my opinion as personal, I have a big respect towards you in trying to be balanced and fair. But neither of us can be neutral. Thanks. Atabek 16:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Ahwaz territory

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Ahwaz territory. There are question about the truthfulness of the article and whether such a territory exists. Since you contributed to the Politics of Khūzestān Province article, I am hoping that you would consider participating in the Ahwaz territory deletion review to shed some light on whether the Ahwaz territory in fact exists. -- Jreferee t/c 18:05, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Allameh Tabatabaei's poem

Salam, I know it's good poem but it's not appropriate for wikipedia. You can translate it and move it to Wikiquote. Thanks--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 18:34, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

thanks

Hello and thank you very much for your comments. Me too hope you enjoy editing here! I would ask you if I had any questions. bye for now Tahmasp 06:30, 12 November 2007 (UTC)tahmasp

Agha

Hi Ali Doostzadeh. I see that you are an expert on Middle Eastern History. I had a question about etymology of the word Agha. There is already a link on the article which does not seem to be exact as the word Agha actually sound Mongolian rather than Turkish. (Despite the fact that Turkic and Mongolian are closely related languages/dialects). Sharishirin 11:34, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the help. Sharishirin 13:54, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

IP: 85.178.151.155

Hello, I hope you're doing well. Please keep an eye on some articles, such as Timur, Timurid dynasty, or Great Seljuq Empire. The IP is a known vandal from the German Misplaced Pages who has a long history of vandalism and blocks. He is a typical Pan-Turkist who does not accept scholastic sources (that's why he has deleted the reference to the Encyclopaedia of Islam). Please keep an eye on those articles and his edits. Thanks. -- Behnam (talk) 01:05, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Iran military task force

Salam, What's your idea about making a task force for Iran military task force. Please add your idea here. Thanks--Seyyed(t-c) 05:49, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Wall Street Journal

I've responded to your edits of Nov. 8 at The Wall Street Journal. I read the same article you did and reached a different conclusion. I'm interested in hearing what others have to say. Cheers! _{``` W</sub> i k i <sub>W</sub> i s t a h <sub>```} 04:59, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Nur Ali Elahi

The move you did on the Nur Ali Elahi page was very disruptive, against Misplaced Pages policy and vandalism. Please read the talk page and you will understand. There are many Misplaced Pages users and Administrators discussing the name. The majority have agreed on keeping his real name "Nur Ali Elahi", but two Administrators have said you can't have both names. By the way his name was Nur Ali Elahi, not ostad (Master).--Octavian history (talk) 23:24, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

That is a title, so it is fine in paranthesis. I thought to put an end to such triviality after seeing it on Iranian discussion board in Misplaced Pages. --alidoostzadeh (talk) 00:54, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I completely understand that your intention may have been very good, but your action was extremely disruptive and wrong when the issue is being discussed and under RfC supervision. About the other name, I completely agree with you that the spelling of Sh, instead of Ch sounds better, BUT, his name is Chahrokh Elahi. He is a very well established doctor and musician. That is how he spells his name, just google it and you will see dozens of websites, including Barnes & Noble. You and I can't change the spelling of a persons name just because we don't like it. I want to thank you for adding the farsi alphabet to his name, that was great! Whenever you get a chance, maybe you can do the same with his father Hajj Nematollah? Thank you.--Octavian history (talk) 13:02, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for adding the farsi text, looks better.--Octavian history (talk) 14:35, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Persian and فارسی

Salam. Even though if it be a direct quote, cause the use of more accurate Persian doesn't differ in the meaning of the sentence at all, Don't you think the use of it instead, is better even in this case? User:Tahmasp 1:54 PM Wednesday (GMT)

Yes. I understand. You are right. Tahmasp (talk) 5:35 PM Thursday 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Ordering

If you disagree with the ordering, change that part but do not revert, since you're removing my other edits. I'm editing with all my good faith but you're always doing the same. You're trying to find a single difference that you can criticise and use this as a reason for your revert. I'm always keeping your edits and sources but you're just reverting.

A problem in Avicenna's article

Salam, Haletun chetore?

There's a problem in the last edition of "Jagged 85" in Avicenna's article. I put a comment in the talk page and quoted a philosophical discussion in Persian. It's difficult for me to translate it. Can you please help us with it. Of course we don't need a translation but somebody should explain the issue in English.--Seyyed(t-c) 06:23, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I tried to add another POV .--Seyyed(t-c) —Preceding comment was added at 06:58, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Persianate society

An editor has nominated Persianate society, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Persianate society and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 11:59, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
