Islamists controlling this entry

Being afraid of any evidence connecting Iranian locales, history or art to pre-Islamic time, particularly the rival religion of Zoroastrianism, any addition to correctly explain the pre-Islamic, Zoroastrian roots of the name Tehran, is immediately deleted. So, I suppose, placing it here may prevent the "pious believer" from immediately deleting it. So, you be the judge of the pre-Islamic, Zoroastrian roots of Tehran's name

Another theory is that "Tehran" derives from Zoroastrian name, Tiran, "the abode of Tir", the Zoroastrian equivalent of Hermes)/Mercury. The ancient Parthian town of Tiran had other neighbours with Zoroastrian names, such as Mehrabad and Mehran ("abode of Mehr/Mithra", the Zoroastrian sun/justice archangel). likewise was the villages of Firuz Bahram ] is of course the common title for Anahita). These were other similarly Zoroastrian-named locations in the area. Both of these were mere villages in the suburbs of the great city of Ray/Rhages. Mehran and Mehrabad, as well as Bibi Shahrbanu still exists as a residential district in Greater Tehran, as well as Ray, which forms the southern suburbs of Tehran. The historic Firuz Bahram was enamed recently to Eslamshahr — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7000:9900:5B67:19D3:5A3B:CF46:69CE (talk) 00:47, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

I guess I am an Islamist now, that's a new one (on a more serious note, please see WP:NPA). With all due respect, you've been told countless times to not add information without any WP:RS to support it, which you didn't, instead resorting to edit warring. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:03, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

That is your problem, that is, not being to distinguish between a self-evident statement of the obvious, and that of a hypothesis in need of evidencing. But of course Wiki has not qualification exams for "editors", but only the good old "First come, first served" modus operandi. That is why the entries in the Wiki remain untrustworthy and worthless compared to traditional encyclopedias where editors ard judged by their academic qualification, not on how fast can they run and get there first to claim an entry for themselves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7000:9900:5B67:E908:AB7E:A2F1:ACBE (talk) 03:04, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Actually, that is your problem (see WP:VERIFY and WP:CITE. Also, Iranica does not mention your addition ). Please see WP:FORUM and WP:SOAPBOX, this is not the place for rants. And please be less hostile (WP:BATTLEGROUND). HistoryofIran (talk) 03:08, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Lead section

Hello everyone, I think the lead can really use some hand. I think it should describe more about history of Tehran. 5.52.7.199 (talk) 00:57, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Ice hockey league (Women's)

There is a ice hockey league for women in Tehran. It is kind of national league of the country because other cities actually don't care about hockey at all. 5.211.62.112 (talk) 23:43, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Iran Mall

Also in the economy section you mentioned Iran Mall as the biggest one in the world, which can be misleading because many of it's stores are not active due to the sanctions. 5.211.62.112 (talk) 23:45, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

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.

If you want to revert my edit, Please provide a RS for verifying this claim.PAper GOL (talk) 21:03, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
