Revision as of 17:39, 9 November 2007 by Geo12a (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)- The article needs to be reedited. There are many grammatical errors and grammatically awkward sentences. In some sections (such as ‘History',) it is obvious the article was written by a nonnative English speaker. It almost sounds like a translation.
- Consolidate Government section into one long section describing the federal government, deferring "main article" links to the main Politics in Iran article
- Add brief coverage of current student reform efforts
- Better explain democratic elections in early 1950s (put details in History article). Could someone add a paragraph to flesh this out? How were democratically held elections implemented? The Shah was reinstated, the article states, but does not explain how he had lost power...
- Fix the nonfactual reference to the Bush administration’s plans to use nuclear force. These plans are not only unconfirmed, but also alleged. Furthermore, the source article is post dated.
- Add coverage about refugess e.g. from Iraq and Afghanistan, in Demographics.
- Add boundary disputes to 'Geography and climate' section, e.g. from CIA:
- ex. Iran protests Afghanistan's limiting flow of dammed tributaries to the Helmand River in periods of drought; Iraq's lack of a maritime boundary with Iran prompts jurisdiction disputes beyond the mouth of the Shatt al Arab in the Persian Gulf; Iran and UAE dispute Tunb Islands and Abu Musa Island, which are occupied by Iran; Iran stands alone among littoral states in insisting upon a division of the Caspian Sea into five equal sectors
- Discuss movement of Iranian community living abroad in the years following the fall of the Shah. (Many of my friends simply disappeared, either to go back to Iran to fight for the new Iranian regime, or to go into hiding from the Iranian regime.)
- Confirm all image copyrights and licensing
- Continue to police for unsourced images
