Mohammad Reza Pahlavi

Hi Melca. I think we should keep the discussion go on the MRP talk page, because it has not been resolved yet and that is the relevant talk page for it. Ongoing changes to the article would depend on the discussions on that page and moving the discussion to here would be unfair to any others following it.

Please stop removing content from Misplaced Pages; it is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Shervink 13:53, 12 February 2006 (UTC)shervink

As i have told you again and again your edits are against several official wikipedia policys, (NPOV, Misplaced Pages:Verifiability, Misplaced Pages:No_original_research to name a few) and can be removed at anytime. And you are not in a position to give out vandalism warnings. --- Melca 14:43, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Your reasoning is simply wrong, and you are rejecting valid references because of your own bias. Since you are deliberately pushing your point of view by removing content, your actions can be considered as vandalism. I do not like to do this, but you are not leaving any room for discussion, and I cannot accept to let you intentionally make an article biased. Shervink 15:14, 12 February 2006 (UTC)shervink

This is not my point of view but the view of nearly every major published newspaper and scholar on the subject . --- Melca 16:03, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

1. Do not remove vandalism warnings from your page. They can be verified on the history of your page anyway.

2. I am very well aware that there is lots of published work supporting your point of view. I never denied this, and I did not remove those references or the related text from the page. All I am saying is that there is also lots of work supporting the opposite. This includes at least two books among the references, the exact text of the constitution, as well as inteviews and the like. This evidence cannot be neglected when writing an article on Misplaced Pages. Shervink 16:15, 12 February 2006 (UTC)shervink

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Shervink 15:11, 12 February 2006 (UTC)shervink

Shah

Don't remove words like Shah and Shahbanu from articles. It is not, and never has been , Misplaced Pages policy to use English translations. WP policy is to use the form of words used by English speakers. If English speakers tranlate a word (eg, they call the Austrian emperor Emperor not Kaiser) then use the translation. If English speakers use the original language word (as in Taoiseach for Irish prime minister, Kaiser for German emperor, etc) then the original word, not the translation, is used on Misplaced Pages. English users refer to the Shah or Iran, never the "King of Iran", so Shah and shah alone is what can be used on Misplaced Pages. The Manual of Style and the Naming Conventions make that explicitly clear. FearÉIREANN\ 21:51, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

I just thought it would be more clear to write king, but you make a very good point. Sorry about that. Also good job on bringing the article to a more NPOV state. Most of the Pahlavi articles on wikipedia read as a promotional page for the late monarchy and really need rewriting. Keep up the good work.. --- Melca 22:16, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Zealot?

As I have not singled you or anybody out for a personal attack, don't make false accusations! My opinion holds nevertheless.Pantherarosa 22:23, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Fishing in murky waters

Funny that you should "uncover" unhelpful and useless deleteted content, while yourself anabashdly deleting editors precious work, without foundation (e. g. above). You should apply the same zeal in contributing intellectually to wikipedi as shown when naming serious editors on PERSONAL ATTACK page (http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Personal_attack_intervention_noticeboard). Pantherarosa 22:59, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Unhelpful and useless content? What do you call this edit by you then? The "useless deleted content" on your userpage are deleted warnings for personal attacks. Also before you acuse me of deleting "work without foundation" you should maybe take the time to read the associated talk pages --- Melca 23:44, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

It is You and the schoolboy trolling me , who engage in personal ATTACKS on my person!

• • • • It is hardly your business to judge my position, taken in June of 2005! It is You and the schoolboy trolling me , who engage in personal ATTACKS on my person! Instead, contribute to WIKIPEDIA intellectually!Pantherarosa 00:16, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
