Azeri name

@HistoryofIran: @Parishan: Accusing other editors of vandalism is not helpful at all. Since the person was Turkic and the tribe to which he belonged played a role in the ethnogenesis of the Azerbaijani people, I see no problem in having an Azeri name along with a Persian one. --Kober 11:33, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

"Played a role in the ethnogenesis of the Azerbaijani people". Not really, we can thank the Russians for that when they conquered parts of northern Iran. It was there the Azerbaijani group was formed. --HistoryofIran (talk) 11:47, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you mean. --Kober 11:53, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

HistoryofIran, I warn you that you are very close to being reported for aggressive and bad-faith editing. Labeling edits, however misguided, as 'vandalism' violates Misplaced Pages:Civility. The Igirmi Durt clan, that was native to what is now the Republic of Azerbaijan and not to Iran (see Islamic Encyclopedia), was key in governing the Beylarbeylik of Karabakh and the subsequent formation of the Azeri-ruled Karabakh Khanate (which had nothing to do with Armenia). As for the Turkic idiom of mediaeval Iran, it is an earlier version of modern Azeri, and any linguistic source on the matter will confirm that: " served as a lingua franca throughout much of the Caucasus region, eastern Turkey, and northwestern Iran from the 16th to the early 20th century". Ethnic Groups of North, East, and Central Asia: An Encyclopedia. I expect counter-arguments that the tribe "had nothing" to do with Azeris; otherwise I will have to undo your edit.

Aggressive and bad-faith editing? that is very funny, especially the last word, "bad-faith editing". Alright I am sorry for calling you a vandal, can you stop overreacting now and stop accusing me of ridiculous thing such as bad-faith editing? (which is funny since you didn't like when i accused you of being a vandal, yet you accused me of bad-faith editing, i guess we could say that we are even) and only focus on the subject? thank you.

Dude, the source has two pages, can't you for a start tell me what page and what line? By looking at the article, it doesn't really state where his Turkic tribe was from, except that they were fighting for power in Karabakh (which is in Azerbaijan and Armenia). Furthermore, Just because a family is native to Azerbaijan doesn't mean that they should have the Azeri name written on their Wiki article. By using that logic, we should add the Azeri name on the Urdubadi family and many articles, which is simply not right. About the last source: So what? I am quite sure that the source isn't even reliable. --HistoryofIran (talk) 13:34, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

HistoryofIran, I would appreciate if you remained civil in your form of addressing fellow users. I am not your high school buddy for you to refer to me as 'dude'. That does not play well into the already unimpressive opinion of your manner of participating in discussions that I am starting to get.

The part I am referring to in the Encyclopedia of Islam is found at the end of the first paragraph under Kadjars (page 387, left column). Furthermore, notable Russian Orientalist (known for his 1985 University of New York-published work Islam in Iran) Ilya Petrushevsky described the Igirmi Durt of the sixteenth century as a conglomerate of Azeri and Azerified Kurdish tribes (later mixed into Azeris): page 71, so the use of the Azeri language is more than legitimate. Besides, it is not all about ethnicity; it is also about relevance to the country's historiography. Azeri-language sources make many more references to the Igirmi Durt clan than the Persian-language ones or English-language ones put together, so the Azeri name here would only be an asset.

I never said anything about the family name: I said that the Igirmi Durt clan was associated exclusively with Karabakh (which is located in Azerbaijan, not in Armenia) and was instrumental in ruling lands that saw centuries of Azeri statehood, which makes the person's relevance to Azerbaijan historically valid. I do not see how a Turkic Muslim historical figure originally from Karabakh, from a clan described as Azeri by a reliable source, would be relevant to Armenian history as much as he is relevant to Azerbaijani history.

Oh my god... so now "dude" is a negative word? stop being so childish (that was aggressive too I guess). Want to know why I am saying that? well because I have already apologized (while you still haven't for accusing me of "bad-faith editing") and now you take the word "dude" as a negative word. Can you please stop this nonsense and instead fully focus on what really matters here? I'm trying to communicate with you and you are aren't really helping by overreacting that much. If you're going to target every normal word I use, then I don't think we can continue this discussion. Now let's get back to subject:

I took a look once more on the Encyclopedia of Islam source, and I don't really understand what you're trying to prove. About that Russian source, what line is it is says that? (Google Translate is my friend in this situation, just tell me what line). Karabakh is not in Armenia? well what is this then: Karabakh (Armenian: Ղարաբաղ Gharabagh or Արցախ, Artsakh; Azerbaijani: Qarabağ) is a geographic region in present-day eastern Armenia and southwestern Azerbaijan, extending from the highlands of the Lesser Caucasus down to the lowlands between the rivers Kura and Aras. It includes three regions: Highland Karabakh (historical Artsakh, present-day Nagorno-Karabakh), Lowland Karabakh (the southern Kura-steppes), and a part of Syunik.

I won't say anything more until I have been answered about that source. --HistoryofIran (talk) 15:23, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
