Tupkhane Square Image Date Questionable
The photograph of the Square is dated 1911. But the vehicles in the image clearly seem later, perhaps from the 1930s. There are no horses. In addition, the article itself states that the square was rebuilt in the '20's with modern buildings. Therefore this picture cannot be from 1911. 24.185.153.147 (talk) 13:50, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
Fashion in Tehran and woman’s boots
There are many boot manufacturers in (or around) the city, high heels and boots are the main foot wear in the Greater Tehran. Please refer to this too. 91.98.220.54 (talk) 10:54, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
Population
In the article for Tehran province it's stated that the number of population is 13,973,000 (based on a 2020 source). But in this article the population for the Tehran city alone is more than 15 million people based on a 2018 source. How is it possible? Aminabzz (talk) 13:15, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
Date of becoming capital
Based on some sources Tehran became a capital in 1786 as mentioned in the article itself. But in the Notes section it's 1795. Aminabzz (talk) 13:16, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
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)

- One may not be an Islamist (or any other -ist), but still do their bidding inadvertently. It is sad, but often true. So, a bunch of laughable folk etymologies for the city's name, such as "Tah-i Ran" (meaning "the bottom end of the thigh" in Persian, i.e., the groin) proposed by certain, non-linguist, non-professional historians to mean "At the Bottom of the Mountains," --and then repeated by others, is okay, despite the ludicrous and laughable construction, but not a self-evident assertion of the existence of towns (and now neighborhoods in Tehran) of an array of Zoroastrian pantheon and zodiacal signs like Mehran, Firuz Bahram, Shahrbanu, Shahryar...etc, are not. That is what I meant by what is self evident but not your personal liking, versus that which is openly ludicrous but to your liking. All the same,I will delete this addition as soon as tomorrow. As the poet Sa'di writes 800 years ago: Attempting to educate an abstinent one, is as fuital as trying to balance a walnut on a dome. So, do carry on as you would.
