This seems to have gone back and forth. Perhaps the matter needs to be discussed, rather than through the cramped confines of an edit summary. Please cite where Ashura is a religious figure and how terming him folkloric is unacceptable and "offensive". - Arcayne (cast a spell) 21:44, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- "Near the mosque in the upper neighborhood there was an ancient plane tree that was even more venerable. Someone on an Ashura day has said he had seen it bleeding in sympathy with the martyrdom of Husayn. And so people believed that if they attempted to cut its branches, especially on the festival of Ashura, something terrible would befall them.'
- "Such folklore provides the weft in the rich anecdotal tapestry of the village's sense of its place and its social composition through the lives of its highly individualistic characters." ( 1)
Perhaps you would be served by paying closer attention to what I wrote, nader. The noted reference notes stories and folkloric activities that sprung up out of the religious observance. I would advise you at this point to get a handle on your temper, otherwise it will get you in trouble, - Arcayne (cast a spell) 17:54, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Arcayne, I advise you to revert your last edit. You have violated 3RR:
You are the only person reverting my edits.-- Agha Nader ( talk) 18:10, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Please see WP:PROVEIT "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material." You violated it several times now. Also, "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged should be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation."
Then you sought to prove that Ashura is folklore. So you provided a source. That source
is about a specific family not cutting a branch of a specific tree in their garden! Not about the mourning of Ashura.
After all this, we are back where we started. I could explain why Ashura is not folklore or why it is offensive to characterize it as folklore (which I have to another editor) but I do not have to since the burden of evidence is on the person "who adds or restores material." You admit to following me to this article to engage me. I believe you are harassing me, you claim you are 'monitoring' me. There was no dispute here, no one reverted my edit (save you). To use your own words "Maybe do yourself a favor and don't talk to me anymore. You've been advised by two admins from your most recetn [sic] AN/I to avoid posting messages to me. This sort of situation was what they were talking about. Do it again, and you can visit the AN/I board again." Cheers!-- Agha Nader ( talk) 19:14, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

(←dent)Yes, it is a good compromise, Alborz Fallah. It will fit wondrously with that citation. A shame that someone else was too busy arguing to think of it. And, speaking of nader, i don't really care what his nationality is. His behavior pretty much transcends nationality. Others have noted that he's Iranian. As he's posted personal pictures taken in Iran, there's a bit of weight to those suppositions. Like I said though, I don't care what nationality he is. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 21:05, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
There is some material that does not have a source. Alborz Fallah, do not add information without having a source. We appreciate your efforts, but you cannot undermine WP:V. I have tagged some material that is definitely unsourced, and probably original research. I have tagged them to give you a chance to provide some sources. If no sources can be found they will be removed.-- Agha Nader ( talk) 02:29, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- "Text from another language that has no translation into English available may be newly translated. Any original translations should be faithful, to the point of literalness; if interpretation is called for, it should be explicitly in parenthetical notes. The credit should be (tr:WP). The translation must, of course, be editable. Fair use caveats apply as they do for other quoted texts; note that while the original text may be public domain, translations of it may be copyrighted."
I think we might be "operating from a different definition of folklore." One definition is [8] (The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000):
I would appreciate it if you could source your assertion that " John Henry, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Lord Nelson or Muhammad (or Moses or Jesus, for that matter)" are "folkloric." I would disagree with the inclusion of some of those people and a source would help convince me. However, there seems to be a necessity of some component of mystery or doubt to qualify as folklore (i.e. "A body of widely accepted but usually specious notions" or "A popular but unfounded belief"). So fame does not equal folklore. This applies to Shabaan Jafari, who was infamous for violence and thuggery. There does not seem to be a component of rumor about him (you can read his biography). We can generally avoid problems from competing definitions (if there even is a difference) by including material that does not violate WP:V or WP:OR.-- Agha Nader ( talk) 18:46, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Does the references show some of the ceremonies in mourning of Muharram are of Iranian folklore?
I think so.In Iranica , under the title "FOLKLORE STUDIES" , it has been written
"On the other hand, since the establishment of the Islamic Republic every cultural activity in the country is assessed by the powerful ministry of Islamic guidance for its accordance with the established set of Islamic values. As a result, some topics, especially those of religious relevance (such as the ta¿z^a; see Homa@yu@n^, 1989; Idem, 1976; Idem, 1998; cf. Wak^l^a@n, 1991) are prioritized. Other topics of folklorist interest, such as the festivities at Nowru@z (Adòka@÷^; Honar^), risk being qualified as undesirable, either because of their origin in pre-Islamic times or because they simply lack any obvious educational value (see Marzolph, 1994)."
As it can be seen , it clearly says the taziyeh can be considered as folkloric.Taziyeh is one of the the ceremonies and conventional show of Muharram.--

Editors should not make the mistake of thinking that if A is published by a reliable source, and B is published by a reliable source, then A and B can be joined together in an article to advance position C. This would be synthesis of published material serving to advance a position, which constitutes original research.
By the way, lets stay on topic and not discuss music as art. Just go to the first sentence of the music article if you are not sure: "Music is an art..."-- Agha Nader ( talk) 23:36, 29 January 2008 (UTC)If the sources cited do not explicitly reach the same conclusion, or if the sources cited are not directly related to the subject of the article, then the editor is engaged in original research.
