| ===Economy of Iran=== | |||
| This project seems to prefer English discussion of ancient Persia in relation to the Greeks versus discussion of, y'know, Iran.

| In any case, if any of you ''can'' read Farsi, the history section at ] is a bit of a mess. The few English sources on the place's history list prior names that other English sources attribute to a different nearby city. The name is derived from textile verbs in English but an Iranian source somehow attributes it to the place's location between two rivers. &c. &c. &c. Everyone else on the English net mentioning this city seems to be copying us and our unsourced probably mistakes, so it could really benefit from some cleanup from the ''Encyclopedia Iranica'' or similar Persian sources. — ] 11:43, 8 March 2024 (UTC) | |||

| '''Testing hypotheses of language replacement in the Caucasus: evidence from the Y-chromosome''' | |||
| :'''Nasidze I, Sarkisian T, Kerimov A, Stoneking M.''' | |||
| Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Inselstrasse 22, 04103, Leipzig, Germany. nasidze@eva.mpg.de | |||
| ''A previous analysis of mtDNA variation in the Caucasus found that Indo-European-speaking Armenians and Turkic-speaking | |||
| Azerbaijanians were more closely related genetically to other Caucasus populations (who speak Caucasian languages) than to other Indo-European or Turkic groups, respectively. Armenian and Azerbaijanian therefore represent language replacements, possibly via elite dominance involving primarily male migrants, in which case genetic relationships of Armenians and | |||
| Azerbaijanians based on the Y-chromosome should more closely reflect their linguistic relationships. We therefore analyzed 11 bi-allelic Y-chromosome markers in 389 males from eight populations, representing all major linguistic groups in the Caucasus. As with the mtDNA study, based on the Y-chromosome Armenians and Azerbaijanians are more closely-related genetically to their geographic neighbors in the Caucasus than to their linguistic neighbors elsewhere.'' | |||
| http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=12596050 | |||
| So, both the mtDNA (female line) and the Y-chromosomes (from father to son) seem to prove the fact, that modern Azeris are predominantly Turkic-speaking Armenians and Iranians. Their DNA has Europeana and Middle Eastern traces, but not Eastern Asian ones , which one would assume if they really were Turks. ] | |||
| ==I have placed the Azari Article under the Iranian Wiki Project== | |||
| Please take a look at it and work on it.Azaris are an important part of Iran/Persia. ] 21:57, 10 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ==Absolute Proof that the claims from the Republic Of Azarbaijan's Revisionists are FALSE== | |||
| Azaris are culturally, ethnically and historically Iranian; that said here is acadmeic fact.... | |||
| Here are more sources that prove a lot of what you are saying is misinformation. http://www.rozanehmagazine.com/NoveDec05/PARTIIAzar.html | |||
| ''The pan-Turanian theories discussed in Part I represent only a part of the picture. There is a whole set of beliefs being narrated about Iranian Azerbaijan in both the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Turkish Republic. They are using the Turkish language as an instrument to differentiate Iranian Turcophones from the rest of Iran. Some of the pan-Turanian claims to Iranian Azerbaijan can be summarized into the following:'' | |||
| ''(1) Greater Azerbaijan was divided between Russia and Persia.'' | |||
| ''(2) Azerbaijanis have spoken Turkish since the advent of History.'' | |||
| ''(3) Turks have been in the Caucasus for over 5000 Years.'' | |||
| ''(4) The Safavid Empire was Turkish.'' | |||
| ''(5) Sattar Khan was a pan-Turanian separatist.'' | |||
| ''(6) Babak Khorramdin was a Turk who fought against Persia.'' | |||
| ''(7) Azerbaijanis and all who speak Turkish are Turkish by race.'' | |||
| ''Before discussing these items, an important point must be revisited. Pan-Turanian claims to Azerbaijan are supported by a very powerful western lobby in the form of multinational and geopolitical petroleum interests. These hope to access and dominate the lucrative oil bonanza looming in the energy deposits of the Caucasus and Central Asia (see Part VI, items 1-3).'' | |||
| ''(d) Mr. Mohammad Amin Rasulzadeh. A leading proponent of Arran’s name change was Mohammad Amin Rasulzadeh (1884-1955), the first leader of the newly created Republic of Azerbaijan (see photo below). Rasulzadeh was of Iranian origin from Baku, and was in fact heavily involved in the constitutional democratic movement of Iran during the early 1900s (see Sattar Khan in item 5). Rasulzadeh was in fact the editor of the newspaper Iran-e-Now (The New Iran). Russian influence and coercion finally forced the Iranian government to expel Rasulzadeh from Iran in 1909 (?); he was exiled to Ottoman Turkey, where the Young Turk movement had gained power.'' | |||
| ''By the 1930s, Rasulzadeh’s writings revealed his full conversion to pan-Turanianism:'' | |||
| '''(a) At first he admitted that “Azerbaijan” (Arran and Azerbaijan in Iran?) was an ancient Iranian province that had been linguistically Turcified since at least the 13th century.''' | |||
| '''(b) He then rejected his previous writings and declared that Azerbaijan (both Arran and Azerbaijan in Iran) had always been “Turkish” and was never historically an integral part of Persia ''' | |||
| ''Rasulzadeh had betrayed his Iranian heritage in two ways. First, he failed to fulfill his promises to Iranian Azerbaijanis to rectify the name change he had bought for Arran (at pan-Turanian behest). Second, Rasulzadeh adopted a false, divisive, and racist ideology. Rasulzadeh’s legacy continues to haunt the Caucasus and Iran to this day. That legacy has also provided an excellent tool for geopolitical manipulation.'' | |||
| ''After his arrest and expulsion from Russia, Rasulzadeh settled in Turkey, where he died in 1954 (see his funeral in Turkey below). Rasulzadeh established the “Azerbaijan National Centre” in Turkey, a movement which at the time was organized for the purpose of opposing Soviet rule in Arran (modern Republic of Azerbaijan).'' | |||
| ''c) Linguistic Turkification. The process of linguistic Turkification was reinforced with the arrival of the Mongols in the 1200s, and their Il-Khanid dynasty in Persia. Tamerlane’s descendants, the Qara/Kara-Qoyunlu (Black Sheep) and Ak/Aq-Qoyunlu (White Sheep) also ruled Iran. It must be noted that the Turkish migrants became absorbed into mainstream Persia, and they greatly patronized Persian, arts, culture and literature. Turks as whole have been tremendously influenced by Iranian culture – a prime example is the Moghul Dynasty of India, of Turkmen-Mongol descent. The Moghuls promoted Persian culture in India, a legacy which lasts to this day in modern India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.'' | |||
| ''By the early 16th century (see Safavids item 4), Azerbaijani Turkish had largely replaced the indigenous Iranian Azeri in Azerbaijan and had also spread to Arran. The Turkish language however, did not alter the thousands year long Iranian character and legacy of Arran and Azerbaijan. As noted in item 4, the Safavid dynasty, whose members spoke Turkish in court and introduced much Turkish vocabulary to Iran, considered themselves as the heirs of Persia and bitterly fought the Ottoman Turks throughout their reign.'' | |||
| ''In Persia, identity has never been delineated by singular, simplistic and narrow concepts such as “race”, “mother language” or even “religion”. Consider the following examples:'' | |||
| ''SafavidsThe aforementioned Nader Shah was an ethnic Turcomen and adhered to the Sunni branch of Islam. Karim Khan Zand (1705-1779) (see illustration below) and his partisans spoke Luri, a west Iranian language distinct from Persian and Kurdish. The Zands (like Nader Shah before them) were essential in preserving Persia’s territorial integrity after the fall of the Safavids.'' | |||
| ''(3) Turks have been in the Caucasus for over 5000 Years.'' '''FALSE''' | |||
| ''This is at best, a grandiose exaggeration. The real influence of the Turks begins with the Seljuks and Ottomans, and even then, the Turks are only one more layer upon an ancient region that has seen a rich and varied legacy.'' '''If anything, it is the Persian and (to a lesser extent), the Greco-Roman legacies that remain in the Caucasus. The Turks, like the Russians and Ukrainians certainly have their legacy in the Caucasus. The issue in question is the exaggeration of the Turkish role, now proposed by pan-Turanian ideologues.''' | |||
| ''The Caucasus is one of the oldest cradles of human civilization – a prime example being the proto-Kartvelian Hurrian empire (2500-1270 BC) which at one time ruled much of northwest Iran and contemporary Kurdistan. The Hurrian legacy is still evident among the Kurds who use the ergative feature in their speech – a phenomenon seen in modern Georgian. While the Caucasus has certainly seen its share of Persian, Greek, Turkish and Russian influence, she has in turn vigorously and profoundly influenced all of these cultures in turn.'' | |||
| '''“The oldest outside influence in Trans-Caucasia is that of Persia (p.203)…many of its populations, including Armenians and Georgians, as well as Persians and Kurds, the Transcaucasus had much closer ties with the former Sassanian world to its south and east than with the world to the west (p.204)”..''' | |||
| '''(7) Azerbaijanis and all who speak Turkish are Turkish by race.''''''FALSE''' | |||
| ''(a) Ziya Gokalp.'' | |||
| ''The notion of Azeris being Turkish because of language is based on the late Ziya Gokalp (1876-1924) who equated language with racial and ethnic membership: you are racially Turkish if you speak Turkish. This is a standard argument of characters like Mr. Chehreganli and his western geopolitical supporters.'' '''Gokalp was in fact a Kurd born in Diyarbakr.''' ''He is one of a long line of non-Turks who helped build pan-Turanian ideology (Part I, item 1).'' | |||
| ''By no means is the discussion in this item attempting to simplistically outline the complex (and anthropolically interwoven) Iranian and Turkish national, ethnic, and linguistic identities. Such a Herculean task would require volumes of text. Instead, we are clearly confining the discussion to the linear and (in my opinion) divisive concept of “race” – in the purely anthological sense.'' | |||
| ''The main weakness of Gokalp’s simplistic premise is his oversimplification of the complex interrelationships between ethnicity, nationality, language and historical migrations. His logic is that speakers of a language “X” must also be racially members of “X”.'' | |||
| '''Likewise, being a Turcophone does not mean that one is automatically Turkish or Turkic by race. National identity is based on a number of domains, only one of which is defined by language. Nevertheless, this simplistic logic (language = race) is being used to attack the Iranian heritage of the people of Azerbaijan and Iran in general.''' | |||
| '''National identity is multi-faceted. A Belgian could be either a Francophone (Walloon) or Dutch dialect speaker (Flemish). A Frenchman can be Basque (Eskuri) or speak an Italian dialect (e.g. Provencal, Corsican, etc.). In northern France, many of the inhabitants lay claim to a proud Celtic tradition (Brittany).''' | |||
| '''Many modern Turks hail from Bosnian, Georgian, Iranian (Persian, Kurdish, Azeri) Greek, Arab, Venetian, Slavic and Armenian backgrounds. Arabs are just as diverse – in the eastern Arab world, many have Iranian ancestry (Persian and Kurdish) – the Levant has seen multitudes of Hittite, Mittani, etc. settlers in its history. In the Western Arab world one finds a plethora of Christians (Greek Orthodox, Coptic, etc.). One can also trace much of the ancestry of modern Arabs to the earlier Semitic peoples such as the Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians (Aramaic-speakers), Syriacs, etc.''' | |||
| ''The Iranian ethnic mosaic is far too complex to even begin attempting to define it in the confines of this commentary. If we extend timelines back to pre-Aryan arrivals, we witness proto-Elamites in the Southwest and Southeast, and Hurrian arrivals from the Caucasus. We then have a long period of Iranian Aryan migrations onto the Iranian plateau and eastern Anatolia (many areas of western Iran and modern Kurdistan was already settled by Assyrian peoples). Arab settlers also arrived during Sassanian and post-Sassanian eras (a number of their descendants survive in Khorrassan and Tajikestan)– these are then eclipsed by subsequent Turkic and Mongol arrivals. The very overall sketch just outlined highlights how complex definitions such as “race” and “language” are.'' | |||
| ''Gokalp was not entirely wrong about Iran – there are a plethora of Turkic settlers who can trace their ancestry to the original Oghuzz (the aforementioned Nader Shah was a Turkmen). But even the identity of the Turkmen (meaning “very Turk”) is hotly disputed. There are claims of strong Iranic admixture within them.'' '''This is not surprising as Turkic and Iranic peoples have been intertwined in Central Asia for thousands of years. Even the Mongols who invaded Persia are said to have had some Iranian (North Iranic?) ancestry (see Turnbull in references).''' | |||
| '''The genetic ancestry of modern Turks is highly varied, mainly as a result of multiple migrations, wars and empires. While modern Turks (and a growing number of Hungarians) stress their genetic connection to Central Asia, scientific evidence fails to corroborate their beliefs. True, there are Turkmen Turks of Central Asian stock in eastern Turkey, however a large proportion of modern Turks have Balkan, Persian, Greek, Armenian, Kurdish, Azeri, Georgian, Varangian, and even some Celtic ancestry. The latter seems surprising; however the term “Ankara” may be derived from the Celtic “Ankyra”. The Galatian Celts appear in Anatolia’s interior after the Greeks defeated them in 230 BC. The original Turkic stock from Central Asia (some of whom live in northeast Iran today) have little or no connection to the European-type U5 cluster.''' | |||
| ''(c) The Analyses of Colin Renfrew.'' | |||
| ''Professor Colin Renfrew (see 1994 References) notes how Turkic languages spread by Elite Dominance:'' | |||
| '''“…incoming minorities…conquer other populations and…impose their languages on them. The Altaic family spread in this fashion…”''' | |||
| ''Genetic alteration can only occur as a result of one of more of the following:'' | |||
| '' Sustained migrations across a long period of time'' | |||
| '' Population dispersals by farming,'' | |||
| '' Dispersals forced by climactic changes.'' | |||
| '''In general, the Turks did not arrive peacefully but as conquering elites who imposed their languages upon indigenous populations (Azeris, Arranis, etc.). Conquering elites provide very modest genetic changes to the indigenous populations that they conquer. However, they can alter the population’s language as result of their elite military and political dominance.''' | |||
| ''(d) The Cavalli-Sforza et al. Genetic Studies.'' | |||
| ''Renfrew’s studies have been corroborated by Professor Luigi Cavalli-Sforza (see photo below) and his colleagues, who have concluded the following after decades of genetic research:'' | |||
| ''“Around the third century B.C., groups speaking Turkish languages…threatened empires in China, Tibet, India, Central Asia, before eventually arriving in Turkey…genetic traces of their movement can sometimes be found, but they are often diluted, since the numbers of conquerors were always much smaller than the populations they conquered…(p.125)…Turks…conquered Constantinople (Istanbul) in 1453..replacement of Greek with Turkish ..Genetic effects of invasion were modest in Turkey. Their armies had few soldiers…invading Turkish populations would be small relative to the subject populations that had a long civilization and history…(p.152).” '' | |||
| '''Hungarians are considered to be Magyar speaking Europeans – not an Asiatic Turkic people.''' '''In like manner, why are the Azerbaijanis (of Iran in particular) being forcibly re-defined as “Turanian” simply because they speak Seljuk Oghuzz Turkish?''' ''How can a single index (Turkish language) be used to virtually erase Azerbaijan’s mighty civilizational identity in Persia? Azerbaijan has been of vital importance in the development of Persian civilization, just as Hungary has been a vital element in the development of European civilization.'' | |||
| ''It is here were the barbaric aspects of “race criteria” break down. In Afghanistan we have the Mongol descended “Hazara” (lit. “The Thousand” in Persian) who now speak Persian, or the many people of Khazar Turkish-Jewish descent in Dagestan (next to Chechniya) who speak Persian. Conversely, Azerbaijanis are an essentially Iranic people who mainly speak Turkish. A branch of the Turcophone Azeris are believed to have been settled in Iran’s Fars province by the Safavids– they are today known as the Qashqai’s (note photo of Qashaqi girl by Shahyar Mahabadi).'' | |||

| Here is an example; on the ] talk page that was made by Iranian Editors, the label of this group is missing, but the ] label has been placed instead as shown here ]. In other articles they try and erase any trace of Azarbaijani links with Iran and try and push an agenda where Azaris are disciminated against in Iran. They will attack other editors if they say that ] is an Iranian. They say that Azarbaijanis want to seperate from Iran and so on. I have tried to take this in good faith, but they are now disrupting numerous Iranian articles. ] | |||

| == Maps of Persian empires == | |||
| Hello Members of Wikiproject Iran ! | |||
| I'm making some maps of persian empires for the french WP, and i'd like to have a little help from you to translate those maps in english so you could use them in you articles too. So far, I've made 3 of them (sassanids, achaemenids and persia circa AD 1000), and I'm planning to do timurids, safavids, and qajars. All those maps are inspired from the world historical Atlas of G. DUBY (ISBN 2-03-521227-8), which is a reference here in france. For now, you can find them on commons: ]. I've posted that help message without answer to ] (but I don't know if is gone from WP or not) and ]. Maybe it could be simpler if I tell more people about my project. You can join me on my ] on the english WP, but I'm more active on the french WP ]. If some of you could work too to translate the maps in persian, we could propose at least 3 languages for those maps on commons. | |||

Makes sense, I guess, since Iran proper probably doesn't appreciate Misplaced Pages very much and can borrow Great Firewall tech from China but probably should be its own separate Persian Empire Wikiproject. In any case, if any of you can read Farsi, the history section at Rasht is a bit of a mess. The few English sources on the place's history list prior names that other English sources attribute to a different nearby city. The name is derived from textile verbs in English but an Iranian source somehow attributes it to the place's location between two rivers. &c. &c. &c. Everyone else on the English net mentioning this city seems to be copying us and our unsourced probably mistakes, so it could really benefit from some cleanup from the Encyclopedia Iranica or similar Persian sources. — LlywelynII 11:43, 8 March 2024 (UTC) Ugh... There is an EI article that covers Rasht but it apparently sucks at a historical level. It pretends the city began in the 14th century, while the article on its province notes that Muslim apostles to the area were being buried "in Rasht" in the 10th century. — LlywelynII 13:28, 8 March 2024 (UTC) Iran-related hoax?Please see Wikipedia_talk:List_of_hoaxes_on_Wikipedia#The_Encyclopedia_of_Iranian_Old_Music.

Think of it as a WikiCup but only for articles and media on developing countries. Competitors may submit GAs, GTs, FAs, FTs, FLs, FPs, and DYK and ITN entries from/on developing countries to gain points and climb the leaderboard. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs. Iran is listed as a developing country for the purposes of this contest and articles related to it are eligible to be submitted for points, so I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content! Append your name to the DCWC signup page today!

The article was originally submitted as a draft to WP:AfC, but was declined. The creator then moved essentially the same declined version to the mainspace themselves, but it was draftied for the reasons given at User talk:Mr.izadpanah#Draftification of Afsaneh Salari. The creator then moved it back to the mainspace. I asked an administrator who posts at WT:AFC about this at User talk:Primefac#Afsaneh Salari and it was suggested that WP:AfD would need to be next step if the subject doesn't meet WP:N. WP:BEFORE doing that, I'd thought I see whether anyone else feels this WP:NEXISTS and just needs better sourcing (perhaps even sources not in English). -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:17, 21 July 2024 (UTC) WikiprojectWould anyone be interested in joining a sub project of WP:Anthropology on oral tradition?

Z1720 (talk) 21:09, 28 October 2024 (UTC) Anyone willing to do a search in Farsi?Hello! There's a Persian related film up for deletion and it looks like if sources do exist, they are not in English. Can someone take a look? The film in question is Nations Cultures. There's possibly nothing out there, but worth asking. Part of my reason for reaching out is that the film might not be called the same thing in Farsi, as I tried finding the film by using Google Translate and found nothing substantial. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 13:35, 8 November 2024 (UTC) Fixing widespread over-capitalization of "Province"It seems that we used to capitalize "Province" a lot where "province" is the more appropriate per guidelines such as WP:MOS. The titles of Iranian province articles were all fixed nearly 3 years ago per Talk:Alborz province#Requested move 24 January 2022, but there are still tons of uses, links especially, that are unnecessarily capitalized. Any objection to getting a bot working on fixing those? See discussion at Misplaced Pages:AutoWikiBrowser/Tasks#50K articles with over-capitalized "Province" for my proposal to do this as an AWB task. Dicklyon (talk) 16:26, 6 December 2024 (UTC) I'll take this as "no objection" to lowercase "province" generally, via bot fixing, unless someone responds soon that I should give it more time.
