Tajik grammar
You have changed the -ro example a couple of times. This example is trying to explain the purpose of the '-ro' suffix. I understand it is used as kind of a marker for 'specific object', e.g. translating into English as that. If this is not the case could you outline the use on the talk page so we can come up with a better example? - FrancisTyers · 19:05, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Tg
Well, you don't have to add a tajik tag to every page you come by. QuizQuick 02:21, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- What do you mean? it's not a tag. It's the interwiki to Tajiki Misplaced Pages and it should be on every page which has a corresponding Tajiki page. Jahangard 14:27, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Persian or Tajik or even Azeri?
Hello Jahangard!
Why did you remove the word Tajik where it was follower Persian and Tajik poet. Is it because Azeri Tusi lived in Tus in Iran?
What about Rudaki? Is he still Persian poet? He was was born in Panjrud-modern Panjakent. So I am going to add Tajik to this article.
--Isfara 07:26, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- I haven't edited Rudaki. About Homam Tabrizi and Azari Tusi, they were not Tajik. Persian-speaking people who live in west of Iranian plateau are not called Tajik. This word is used for those who live in Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. Jahangard 15:42, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Request
Hi Jahangard,
Please don't make unilateral changes (like this) until there some sort of consensus at Talk:Persian people. Such changes will only get people annoyed. I hope you understand—thanks. —Khoikhoi 18:26, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- I agree that moving the page Persian people needs some sort of consensus at Talk:Persian people. But, I don't think that it includes changing a redirect page (like Persians) to a disambiguation page. Anyway, I'll wait for the result of the discussion. Jahangard 18:36, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, but Persians has been a redirect since January. How about we create Persians (disambiguation) and then link at the top of the Persian people article? (compare to the dog page) —Khoikhoi 18:39, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Why is "main inhabitants of Iran" misleading? It's true, they account 51% of Iran's population. Of course not all of them are from Iran, but that's where they're originally form. Just like Turks in Germany are originally form Turkey. How's this? —Khoikhoi 18:48, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- I haven't said that the majority of Iranians are not Persian-speaking. The current article Persian people is about all Persian-speaking people (not only Persian-speaking people of Iran). Refering to them as main inhabitants of Iran is misleading. Persian-speaking people of Afghanistan and Tajikistan are not originally form Iran (modern-day Iran). They are not just like Turks in Germany are originally form Turkey. Jahangard 18:56, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, how's "the ethnic group mainly found in Iran"? (because most Persians live in Iran) Any objections? —Khoikhoi 18:59, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- What's wrong with "Persian-speaking people"? That article is about Persian-speaking people, and nothing but Persian-speaking people. Jahangard 19:02, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Because most sources tell us that "Persian-speaking people" are called Persians. —Khoikhoi 19:03, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, and many sources tell us that People of Iran (Persia) are called Persians. That's why we need titles which are not ambiguous. Jahangard 19:08, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Ever since 1979, the vast majority of English sources call the country "Iran". We are not living in the past anymore. —Khoikhoi 19:11, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

- Yes, but when things are out-of-date, we use modern ones. —Khoikhoi 19:33, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
thank you
thank you for creating Taloqan. there are a number of other Afghan related articles that are not yet created. visit Misplaced Pages:Requested articles/Afghanistan if you want to see a list of other desired Afghan articles. Kingturtle 01:39, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Garmis and Civil War in Tajikistan
Alright, I've left a comment at each of the talk pages. Please let me know what you think. Khoikhoi 04:24, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- Jahangard, I think I was a bit mean and uncivil in our exchange over this. I apoligize. Thanks for removing the disputed tag. Hope there are no hard feelings.--David Straub 05:16, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Template fix
Thanks for the speedy fix! It looks a heck of a lot better now. Aelfthrytha 12:42, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
WPTJ
It might be worth making a note at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Central Asia, or co-ordinating our efforts there. I'm not sure there are enough people to make a whole WPTJ now, but maybe in the future. And yes, with enough people I would certainly be interested. - Francis Tyers · 21:38, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Persian people
Hi! I have no objections, it looks fine to me. Ba’adan mibinamet. Khoikhoi 02:58, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- Hmmm, maybe we should follow the definitions from other sources, like this for example. What do you think? Khoikhoi 22:02, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
