We had an awkward discussion in RFCN regarding the fart guy [1]. You were of course right, I should have disallowed in the first place, because that particular excretory function ( fart) may be offensive. However, my point about other excretory functions which are not offensive, still stands. There was no OR involved; as I linked both articles ( tears and sweat). I think we should reword the policy to allow common sense come into play for such names. I propose we reword "are included" to "may include". The other option would be to list the offensive excretory functions only (which I find WP:CREEPy, but would also work). What do you think? Niko Silver 11:04, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm about to go so I'll be more thorough later, but I was thinking more on the excretory point just specifying. Basically, things like 'fart' and 'vomit' don't have acceptable forms. I mean, we will never allow User:FartingIsWrong or its vomit/upchuck equivalent. I am thinking that such things could be specified, though I wonder about things like hurl, which I believe is a vomit synonym but may have reasonable acceptable meanings depending upon context. I'll get back to you later. The Behnam 12:26, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Behnam, see the conversation that was moved from here to here. Cascadia TALK| HISTORY 19:28, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
I believe you have broken the 3RR on the article 300 (film). Agha Nader 22:56, 3 April 2007 (UTC)Agha Nader
There is no policy whatsoever to prevent editors from bolding their comments for effect. The fact remains that they ignore the fact that it is a fictional work and the film makers have acknowledged this. If Arcayne doesn't like the bolding, tough luck. They cannot ignore the facts. Khorshid 04:35, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
It's clear that you're stalking me on several articles you've never edited or shown interest in, such as Koryun or Persian gulf. I'm asking you stop this harassment immediately, before I take any further action. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ArmenianJoe ( talk • contribs) 07:02, 4 April 2007 (UTC).
That is quite an accusation there! Contribs pages are public, and it is perfectly acceptable to see what certain users, such as those who revert blindly and shirk discussion, are up to. This helps catch poor editing elsewhere, such as more blind reverts at Koryun. As far as Persian Gulf goes, I saw that the page is protected and realized that this is because they are ignoring
WP:LEAD. Policies and guidelines are always a good place to start. I quote the ArbCom decision mentioned in
WP:STALK,
"It is not acceptable to stalk another editor who is editing in good faith. (Note that everyone is expected to assume good faith in the absence of definite evidence to the contrary.) Once an editor has given reason to suspect bad faith, monitoring is appropriate, but constantly nit-picking is always a violation of required courtesy."
I suspect bad faith because you blindly reverted and did not constructively discuss the dispute. You demonstrated that you do not care about actually cooperating with other editors to work out disagreements and that you prefer to blindly revert articles. With this in mind I looked at some of your contribs to see if you did the same elsewhere, and indeed, I found you doing so at Koryun. You were taking out cited information without any real argument whatsoever, simply claiming that a modern source (unnamed) shows that those people are wrong. I asked you to support your claim by adding information instead, but you did not heed this advice. Such behavior is, to quote you, "contrary to the collaborative spirit of wikipedia, where users are acquired to reach consensus with opposing parties." So, I suggest you retract your silly accusation and improve your editing habits instead, or else you may be the one facing a report. I rest my case. The Behnam 07:21, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
As warned, further reverting at Azerbaijan (Iran) will be met with blocks. Furthermore, you've been edit warring at Koryun and 300 (film). Please use your period off to read WP:DR and take it to heart. Dmcdevit· t 07:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Also, what exactly am I supposed to do about Azerbaijan (Iran)? My main dispute was over using non-English conventions like "Azar-". Despite my extensive arguing nothing happened. I pointed out that "Azar-" words don't appear in dictionaries, we compared Google searches and found that the "Azer-" form is favored there as well, etc. But nothing happened because the other users didn't accept any of the proof as meaningful, even though English dictionaries generally contain words that are English and do not contain words that are not English. What am I supposed to do if the arguments are disregarded for no good reason? The Behnam 08:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
You have blacklisted my link to the effect that I cannot contribute to the Googoosh article. I was going to provide references when I was impulsively blocked. Actually there was an unregistered user who kept reverting the changes I made and I requested he be banned, but unfortunately you listed me. NeutralWriter 20:44, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
I have taken a look at Googoosh, and have made some comments in the Talk Page. Maybe give me some feedback? Arcayne 11:44, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
I was re-writing the article to wikipedia standards and as I was so doing, some un-registered user kept reverting back the changes. So I requested he be banned, and somehow they banned me. I don't know how to remove myself from being blacklisted. NeutralWriter 16:04, 5 April 2007 (UTC)NeutralWriter
An editor has nominated Religious conversion and terrorism, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Religious conversion and terrorism and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. PelleSmith 12:29, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
You have admonished user Arcayne for removing Khorshid's bold text before. He has removed my bold text as well. I used the bold text in his talk page, you can see it in the history. Is your opinion the same this time? Agha Nader 19:32, 5 April 2007 (UTC)Agha Nader
Whats the fuss Baradar??? Citation is not needed when all you have to do is to read about phrates IV. You see Persia never had any bad feelings towards the greeks despite devastating assaults by Alex. Sounds familiar today? hmmm. The message is priceless. Think about it, even back then. Whats the fuss just let it be. Cyrus111
Ok Baradar, Done. Cyrus111
Allright, Ill see what I can do later on, but please if you also find it go ahead
WHO ARE YOU Sir? I am wondering why you like to create disputes between people who have no involvment with you in ANY way. Please explain yourself and don't revert my edits again or I will have to report you to the admins. Thanks. SSZ 05:01, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
LAST WARNING: Please do NOT revert my edit on Iran's talk page. I have nothing to explain to you. If Zereshk wants to know more about it, he will ask me himself. Thank you for your (apparent) concern. SSZ 05:15, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Who are you? and what do you want? What is your objective in doing that? SSZ 05:15, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Second, and most importantly: I do not appreciate when you mind other people's business (MINE in that case). Zereshk has eyes to see by himslef. He is a regular editor on Wikipedia and I left a comment for HIM to see on the Iran's talk history page for that purpose (at the SAME time when I removed his question, which unduly implicated me). Again, I have no further explanations to give YOU. Good bye! SSZ 05:41, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Greetings! See if that fixed it for you. All those font tags were confusing so I just added an extra </font> at the end of Zereshk's top comment. Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 05:52, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Translations are not OR. Zeq 06:12, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

please check with an arrabic speaker. The fact that you typed something into a dictionary sounds like OR to me so I can not accept it as an argument to remove a translation. Zeq 06:36, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
I changed the text left the translation. please check before you make changes. Zeq 06:40, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
I imply nothing just provided a translation of the word on the sign. The sign is the source and I only added a translation. Zeq 07:13, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't know why you left me that message about Marilyn Monroe but obviously you don't know anyhing. It wasn't Vandalism, it was a completly truthful edit. And I could care less if you removed it. So go ahead and try to block me, maybe you should read up on her sometime. I don't care because I am intelligent and if you want people to read up on someone and not be aware of the whole truth then that's your problem. I am not gonna even stress you because your a joke.
Your saying I left negative information on several articles? I only edited them from the information I found out about them. From reading or watch bio's on those people. It was in no way to attack their character after their demise. And I only called you a joke because you left me a warning like I purposely went out of my way to write nagative and untruthful information about them. Are you following everything I edit? Because that is a form of stalking...
Well while you feel they are inappropriate. I feel that they were correct because I was just adding information that other people left out when they wrote those articles. The only way I find it unsourced was through me not leaving a reference on where I got the information. I don't need a link on appropriate editing. I believe there was nothing wrong with my editing. There were not untruthful and written to disgrace the people I edited about. You should have written and asked me before you threw out a warning like that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Velvetrope1318 ( talk • contribs)

Hey, The Behnam. Sorry I didn't respond to you sooner, I've been away for a while. It seems like the original article has been unlocked, so instead of moving Mohammad Reza Pahlavi/New to my user space, we can just delete it. ♠ SG →Talk 18:15, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi,
Sometimes Wikipedia uses redirects for other purposes besides searching and user convenience. In this case, the redirect maintained vital attribution information, essential to comply with the terms of the GFDL license that WP uses for its content. We cannot delete that redirect. In general, if you see a weird-looking redirect with a long history, it probably exists for GFDL purposes. Best wishes, Xoloz 22:00, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I randomly sometimes click the minor edit box, half the time my talk page things end up as minor. I did not notice the redundancy on the template, feel free to revert me on that. Devadasi, I'm consulting with people to understand the issue at hand. Actually a member of Category:User Ta-N may be able to help, I'll look into that. Baka man 23:57, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

More of the same...
I had added the link a while back because Nader Shah is known by many for his Anti-Hindu actions. I am not sure if you have noticed, but the Anti-Hinduism article has some of the same problems as the Anti-Iranian. I am referring to the OR. Although a case can be made for Nader Shah being Anti-Hindu, sources need to be added. Furthermore, the source must say he is Anti-Hindu. I have not been able to find such a source. I was mistaken when I added the link. Do not you agree that he should be removed from the links? Agha Nader 02:02, 9 April 2007 (UTC)Agha Nader
For the purpose of the license, we must preserve a record of who (what user) wrote what content. When an article is merged, or rewritten on a subpage, and important edits are incorporated in the final product in the mainspace, the record of "who wrote what" (called the attribution history) can be preserved either through a history merge (a little complicated) or a redirect (much easier). In the latter case, the attribution history remains publicly available under the redirect page's history tab. As I said, when you see a redirect with a long history -- even if it has an unlikely name -- it is likely being preserved for GFDL purposes. Redirects are cheap, as the saying goes, so leave it alone. Only speedy-tag an R3 redirect if its history is brief and/or it is relatively new. Best wishes, Xoloz 13:39, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
I cannot take credit for it. Bigs and Erik were talking about the issue between themselves about why they had withdrawn fromt he article, and Bigs decided to whip up a template to act as a 'rule for the page'. He just asked me to add it in. I am lucky if my html skills help me encode the right color on my user page. lol. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 17:58, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
The sections being removed from OIT are identified as OR. It was discussed on talk page where the editors confirmed that Parpola has not made the statement that they want to include. Regarding the comments added, Gandhara region (mainly river names) is mentioned in Rigveda in few different books, so I am not clear why did you object to "it is noted". If you prefer different wording, change it to different wording. When OR is being removed, please don't reinsert it back in article by "rv". Sbhushan 15:45, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
The OR is that Parpola has not made any claim that Ghandhara was Rigvedic Urhemeit or homeland. Rudra confirmed this [ [10]]. To add any content, I had to find very specific statements where explicitly any claim was made. The same rule applies to Dab and Rudra too. They can not go around synthesizing published work. On this specific claim, Dab has changed the source about 4 times, I requested page number back in Nov that Dab never provided. Now Rudra provides this analysis quoted above and confirms that Parpola did not make this specific statement. WP:NOR says that unpublished analysis of published work is OR. Sbhushan 13:48, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Since you're so proactive on 300_film article, how come you haven't chosen a prefernce here. Have you seen this declaration which was followed by this, and now a sudden late surge of support for a particular option. Something fishy is going on there. -- Mardavich 18:02, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Why has a fight broken out on my page? Arcayne, thanks for keeping an eye out but I don't think your involvement is helping at this time. Nader, I don't know how you ended up here but you shouldn't be involved unless there is something constructive you have to add. Sorry but I don't see why you people have to carry your feuds here just because Mardavich posts something weird and ambiguous on my page. I suggest that you all stop worrying about these things.
Anyway, Mardavich, what exactly is fishy here? If you are wondering, I had already previously said that I think "fictional" is the best and safest description, and I haven't bothered voting on one of those many options because I find the whole thing bothersome and WP:LAME. I also don't understand what your diffs are supposed to be showing me aside from more rudeness on Miskin's part, which is neither new nor fishy. So please explain to me what is bothering you. Thanks.

Do not ever use such a phrase again. Among Iranians, the term "Aryan" is very sacred and important to us, and it is also a common Iranian name. Please have respect for the culture and heritage of Iranians. Iranians are also descended from ancient Aryan tribes, so your use of the phrase in this context is very derogatory.

Hi The Behnam, I agree that this is a problematic situation. A number of editors, yourself included, have made an effort to try to bring the article into line, so far with some success. Thank you. And thank you for remaining calm when dealing with this user. One point, though, if a prod notice is removed for whatever reason, the proposed deletion is considered to be disputed and the Prod tag should not be re-applied. I have now taken the xxxxx article to AfD as that's the appropriate next step for any disputed prod. Thanks, Gwernol 14:38, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Great surprise, which right you have that you tagged "merge" without any discussion before, and you ask discussion.No. You add. I remove.this is it. Try to discuss before radical steps.

I don't think that is a meatpuppet but a straight forward sockpuppet, same edit style, same SHOUTY nature when confronted. I'd also suspected that she will just keep on trying via a number of sockpuppets to keep adding the same trivial (and they are trivial - just listings and the like) references to the article. -- Fredrick day 09:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
The fact that you think that I think that "Iranians are incapable of objectivity" is ludicrous. I have supported and I still do actively support Iranian editors in Talk:Avicenna over the Arab POV. I just think that in the specific topic, the specific Iranian editors are not neutral. By past experience I know that the vast majority of Iranians are sensitive on the Greco-Persian war subject, and naturally hold biased POVs. This is the meaning of a "partisan", it would be the same for americans editing WW2 articles, it doesn't have to be anti-something in particular. Miskin 10:33, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Salam, The Behnam
I noticed that you were working and talking on Iranian women, and I just wanted to let you know that the article on the french WP, fr:Femme iranienne was reviewed by Azadeh Kian Thiebaut, an iranian/french sociologist, and apart from contesting some of the sources and some detail points, there was nothing really wrong with it. I wanted to let you know because maybe you could try to translate the article into english in order to make it more accurate. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding that article. Fabienkhan | talk page 15:37, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Thank you.
It was only a little while ago that you were making three reverts in a day at 300 (film) and Koryun and were blocked. The behavior continues at Iranian women, with 3 reverts under 5 hours. I'm going to go warn ParthianShot for this too, but you have been reblocked, considering your past behavior. Please engage in dispute resolution when the block expires.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
It is clear from the blocking reason above that I didn't actually violate any WP rules, such as 3RR. Furthermore, the reverts are completely sensible as the others were reintroducing non-RS, possibly COI sources, scriptural misquotes, and other OR into the article. Please see Talk:Iranian women for the discussions, which, by the way, the reintroducers haven't taken any constructive role in. They even introduce false references [14]. The Iranica source says nothing about Iranian women. This kind of dishonest editing needs to be reverted to preserve the integrity of the articles. My reverts are what any objective and honest Wikipedian would do, and I didn't break any rules. These people blindly revert, saying 'seek consensus' but don't actually raise any specific objection. They ignore the edit summaries and talk page discussion. There is no justice in me being blocked. The Behnam 18:11, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Please read the section in the talk area for information before reverting. All possible care was taken with preserving the votes and the voting record prior to archiving. Anyone can see the voting record in the archiove, and can see who voted. There is nopt reason to further clutter up the Talk Page with votes that are weeks old. The same vote choices have been left ont he talk page, and instructions on voting anew. I completely disagree that the reasons for why people chose before have any effect on why someone would choose now., Each vote is supposed to be independently formed, not just a parroting of what someone else says.

Sorry Behnam, I see the presence of rayis on the article, and I don't want anything to do with it. But if you visit Iran section on " gender apartheid", which is an incorrect term for sexual segregation, there are a few good sources to challenge Ganji'z POV. Furthermore, a few sources have noted that separation of public washrooms in the west does not constitute a "gender apartheid" per se! I think this can be added as well.-- Gerash 77 17:24, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

TheBadnam it is interesting that a person with a history of Personal Attacks against myself and others as well as vandalism of my User Talk page should make such a statement. This is another request for you to Please read Wikipedia policy before "preaching" to myself and others again -- and please stop making pointless modifications to my User Page in the future.
I noticed that you have REMOVED my previous warnings and requests against you from your User Page: How interesting that you had vandalized my user page in the past by re-inserting vandalism from other users on my page on the basis that "Removal of entries from my own user page is against Wikipedia Policy" as you yourself had stated So what is it called when you do that your self while telling others that it is "Against Policy"? I have a word for it but I probably shouldn't use it here.

We had an awkward discussion in RFCN regarding the fart guy [1]. You were of course right, I should have disallowed in the first place, because that particular excretory function ( fart) may be offensive. However, my point about other excretory functions which are not offensive, still stands. There was no OR involved; as I linked both articles ( tears and sweat). I think we should reword the policy to allow common sense come into play for such names. I propose we reword "are included" to "may include". The other option would be to list the offensive excretory functions only (which I find WP:CREEPy, but would also work). What do you think? Niko Silver 11:04, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm about to go so I'll be more thorough later, but I was thinking more on the excretory point just specifying. Basically, things like 'fart' and 'vomit' don't have acceptable forms. I mean, we will never allow User:FartingIsWrong or its vomit/upchuck equivalent. I am thinking that such things could be specified, though I wonder about things like hurl, which I believe is a vomit synonym but may have reasonable acceptable meanings depending upon context. I'll get back to you later. The Behnam 12:26, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I believe you have broken the 3RR on the article 300 (film). Agha Nader 22:56, 3 April 2007 (UTC)Agha Nader
There is no policy whatsoever to prevent editors from bolding their comments for effect. The fact remains that they ignore the fact that it is a fictional work and the film makers have acknowledged this. If Arcayne doesn't like the bolding, tough luck. They cannot ignore the facts. Khorshid 04:35, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
It's clear that you're stalking me on several articles you've never edited or shown interest in, such as Koryun or Persian gulf. I'm asking you stop this harassment immediately, before I take any further action. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ArmenianJoe ( talk • contribs) 07:02, 4 April 2007 (UTC).
That is quite an accusation there! Contribs pages are public, and it is perfectly acceptable to see what certain users, such as those who revert blindly and shirk discussion, are up to. This helps catch poor editing elsewhere, such as more blind reverts at Koryun. As far as Persian Gulf goes, I saw that the page is protected and realized that this is because they are ignoring
WP:LEAD. Policies and guidelines are always a good place to start. I quote the ArbCom decision mentioned in
WP:STALK,
"It is not acceptable to stalk another editor who is editing in good faith. (Note that everyone is expected to assume good faith in the absence of definite evidence to the contrary.) Once an editor has given reason to suspect bad faith, monitoring is appropriate, but constantly nit-picking is always a violation of required courtesy."
I suspect bad faith because you blindly reverted and did not constructively discuss the dispute. You demonstrated that you do not care about actually cooperating with other editors to work out disagreements and that you prefer to blindly revert articles. With this in mind I looked at some of your contribs to see if you did the same elsewhere, and indeed, I found you doing so at Koryun. You were taking out cited information without any real argument whatsoever, simply claiming that a modern source (unnamed) shows that those people are wrong. I asked you to support your claim by adding information instead, but you did not heed this advice. Such behavior is, to quote you, "contrary to the collaborative spirit of wikipedia, where users are acquired to reach consensus with opposing parties." So, I suggest you retract your silly accusation and improve your editing habits instead, or else you may be the one facing a report. I rest my case. The Behnam 07:21, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
As warned, further reverting at Azerbaijan (Iran) will be met with blocks. Furthermore, you've been edit warring at Koryun and 300 (film). Please use your period off to read WP:DR and take it to heart. Dmcdevit· t 07:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Also, what exactly am I supposed to do about Azerbaijan (Iran)? My main dispute was over using non-English conventions like "Azar-". Despite my extensive arguing nothing happened. I pointed out that "Azar-" words don't appear in dictionaries, we compared Google searches and found that the "Azer-" form is favored there as well, etc. But nothing happened because the other users didn't accept any of the proof as meaningful, even though English dictionaries generally contain words that are English and do not contain words that are not English. What am I supposed to do if the arguments are disregarded for no good reason? The Behnam 08:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
You have blacklisted my link to the effect that I cannot contribute to the Googoosh article. I was going to provide references when I was impulsively blocked.

An editor has nominated Religious conversion and terrorism, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion.

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Religious conversion and terrorism and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

LAST WARNING: Please do NOT revert my edit on Iran's talk page. I have nothing to explain to you. If Zereshk wants to know more about it, he will ask me himself. Thank you for your (apparent) concern. SSZ 05:15, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Who are you? and what do you want? What is your objective in doing that? SSZ 05:15, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Second, and most importantly: I do not appreciate when you mind other people's business (MINE in that case). Zereshk has eyes to see by himslef. He is a regular editor on Wikipedia and I left a comment for HIM to see on the Iran's talk history page for that purpose (at the SAME time when I removed his question, which unduly implicated me). Again, I have no further explanations to give YOU. Good bye! SSZ 05:41, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't know why you left me that message about Marilyn Monroe but obviously you don't know anyhing. It wasn't Vandalism, it was a completly truthful edit. And I could care less if you removed it. So go ahead and try to block me, maybe you should read up on her sometime. I don't care because I am intelligent and if you want people to read up on someone and not be aware of the whole truth then that's your problem. I am not gonna even stress you because your a joke.
Your saying I left negative information on several articles? I only edited them from the information I found out about them. From reading or watch bio's on those people. It was in no way to attack their character after their demise. And I only called you a joke because you left me a warning like I purposely went out of my way to write nagative and untruthful information about them. Are you following everything I edit? Because that is a form of stalking...
Well while you feel they are inappropriate. I feel that they were correct because I was just adding information that other people left out when they wrote those articles. The only way I find it unsourced was through me not leaving a reference on where I got the information. I don't need a link on appropriate editing. I believe there was nothing wrong with my editing. There were not untruthful and written to disgrace the people I edited about. You should have written and asked me before you threw out a warning like that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Velvetrope1318 ( talk • contribs)

Hi,
Sometimes Wikipedia uses redirects for other purposes besides searching and user convenience. In this case, the redirect maintained vital attribution information, essential to comply with the terms of the GFDL license that WP uses for its content. We cannot delete that redirect. In general, if you see a weird-looking redirect with a long history, it probably exists for GFDL purposes. Best wishes, Xoloz 22:00, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I randomly sometimes click the minor edit box, half the time my talk page things end up as minor. I did not notice the redundancy on the template, feel free to revert me on that.

More of the same...
I had added the link a while back because Nader Shah is known by many for his Anti-Hindu actions. I am not sure if you have noticed, but the Anti-Hinduism article has some of the same problems as the Anti-Iranian. I am referring to the OR. Although a case can be made for Nader Shah being Anti-Hindu, sources need to be added. Furthermore, the source must say he is Anti-Hindu. I have not been able to find such a source. I was mistaken when I added the link. Do not you agree that he should be removed from the links? Agha Nader 02:02, 9 April 2007 (UTC)Agha Nader
For the purpose of the license, we must preserve a record of who (what user) wrote what content. When an article is merged, or rewritten on a subpage, and important edits are incorporated in the final product in the mainspace, the record of "who wrote what" (called the attribution history) can be preserved either through a history merge (a little complicated) or a redirect (much easier). In the latter case, the attribution history remains publicly available under the redirect page's history tab. As I said, when you see a redirect with a long history -- even if it has an unlikely name -- it is likely being preserved for GFDL purposes. Redirects are cheap, as the saying goes, so leave it alone. Only speedy-tag an R3 redirect if its history is brief and/or it is relatively new. Best wishes, Xoloz 13:39, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
I cannot take credit for it. Bigs and Erik were talking about the issue between themselves about why they had withdrawn fromt he article, and Bigs decided to whip up a template to act as a 'rule for the page'.

The sections being removed from OIT are identified as OR. It was discussed on talk page where the editors confirmed that Parpola has not made the statement that they want to include. Regarding the comments added, Gandhara region (mainly river names) is mentioned in Rigveda in few different books, so I am not clear why did you object to "it is noted". If you prefer different wording, change it to different wording. When OR is being removed, please don't reinsert it back in article by "rv". Sbhushan 15:45, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
The OR is that Parpola has not made any claim that Ghandhara was Rigvedic Urhemeit or homeland. Rudra confirmed this [ [10]]. To add any content, I had to find very specific statements where explicitly any claim was made. The same rule applies to Dab and Rudra too. They can not go around synthesizing published work. On this specific claim, Dab has changed the source about 4 times, I requested page number back in Nov that Dab never provided. Now Rudra provides this analysis quoted above and confirms that Parpola did not make this specific statement. WP:NOR says that unpublished analysis of published work is OR. Sbhushan 13:48, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Since you're so proactive on 300_film article, how come you haven't chosen a prefernce here. Have you seen this declaration which was followed by this, and now a sudden late surge of support for a particular option. Something fishy is going on there. -- Mardavich 18:02, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Why has a fight broken out on my page? Arcayne, thanks for keeping an eye out but I don't think your involvement is helping at this time. Nader, I don't know how you ended up here but you shouldn't be involved unless there is something constructive you have to add. Sorry but I don't see why you people have to carry your feuds here just because Mardavich posts something weird and ambiguous on my page. I suggest that you all stop worrying about these things.
Anyway, Mardavich, what exactly is fishy here? If you are wondering, I had already previously said that I think "fictional" is the best and safest description, and I haven't bothered voting on one of those many options because I find the whole thing bothersome and WP:LAME. I also don't understand what your diffs are supposed to be showing me aside from more rudeness on Miskin's part, which is neither new nor fishy. So please explain to me what is bothering you. Thanks.

Do not ever use such a phrase again. Among Iranians, the term "Aryan" is very sacred and important to us, and it is also a common Iranian name.

The fact that you think that I think that "Iranians are incapable of objectivity" is ludicrous. I have supported and I still do actively support Iranian editors in Talk:Avicenna over the Arab POV. I just think that in the specific topic, the specific Iranian editors are not neutral. By past experience I know that the vast majority of Iranians are sensitive on the Greco-Persian war subject, and naturally hold biased POVs. This is the meaning of a "partisan", it would be the same for americans editing WW2 articles, it doesn't have to be anti-something in particular. Miskin 10:33, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period.

If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Thank you.
It was only a little while ago that you were making three reverts in a day at 300 (film) and Koryun and were blocked. The behavior continues at Iranian women, with 3 reverts under 5 hours.

If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
It is clear from the blocking reason above that I didn't actually violate any WP rules, such as 3RR. Furthermore, the reverts are completely sensible as the others were reintroducing non-RS, possibly COI sources, scriptural misquotes, and other OR into the article. Please see Talk:Iranian women for the discussions, which, by the way, the reintroducers haven't taken any constructive role in. They even introduce false references [14]. The Iranica source says nothing about Iranian women. This kind of dishonest editing needs to be reverted to preserve the integrity of the articles. My reverts are what any objective and honest Wikipedian would do, and I didn't break any rules. These people blindly revert, saying 'seek consensus' but don't actually raise any specific objection. They ignore the edit summaries and talk page discussion. There is no justice in me being blocked. The Behnam 18:11, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I completely disagree that the reasons for why people chose before have any effect on why someone would choose now., Each vote is supposed to be independently formed, not just a parroting of what someone else says. Please change it back. Arcayne (cast a spell) 21:40, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Any particular one you like that you think would be good to use for the geography part of the main article?-- Zereshk 00:25, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
I think Persian people is confusing since at the lead it says The Persians are an Iranic ethnic group who speak the Persian languag but when it goes further in the article Persian changes its meaning to Iranian. Like Persian arts, Persian women and Culture. Even in the table the poulations in foreign countries are the populations of all Iranians not just Persian as an ethnicity.( Shahingohar 03:29, 18 April 2007 (UTC))
I am not sure if the paragraph on Iran should be there, but then again it is an allegation. Can you have a quick look in the talk where Sa.vakilian feels that one quote there in the Iranian section is against almost every policy there is :) thanks, -- Rayis 09:59, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
In the lead of the article, it refers to gender apartheid as included in it, so it's not just 'apartheid' -- Rayis 16:53, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
How do you know it's a minority view? just because of what was in the article at that time? -- Rayis 16:56, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your help with that -- it was a persistant annoyance, but I hadn't got to the point (yet) of going to an admin about it. It's good to see that the wiki community is disciplined and takes care of things like that organically. Cheers. Larry Dunn 12:48, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Salam. Thanks for your efforts. At the beginning I tried to do so [28] but somebody removed other POV and pushed his own POV.-- Sa.vakilian( t- c) 17:26, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Sorry Behnam, I see the presence of rayis on the article, and I don't want anything to do with it. But if you visit Iran section on " gender apartheid", which is an incorrect term for sexual segregation, there are a few good sources to challenge Ganji'z POV. Furthermore, a few sources have noted that separation of public washrooms in the west does not constitute a "gender apartheid" per se! I think this can be added as well.-- Gerash 77 17:24, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I'm actually not very familiar with the term -- it seems to be an academic one. A quick web search found examples of the term applied to Christian and Islamic works as well as Jewish ones. I'll try to add a couple more sources. Best, -- Shirahadasha 04:32, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, you have had some dealings with this editor. I'd appreciate your opinion regarding a suspected sockpuppet if you have time. Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Lukas19. Cheers. Alun 14:22, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
TheBadnam it is interesting that a person with a history of Personal Attacks against myself and others as well as vandalism of my User Talk page should make such a statement. This is another request for you to Please read Wikipedia policy before "preaching" to myself and others again -- and please stop making pointless modifications to my User Page in the future.
I noticed that you have REMOVED my previous warnings and requests against you from your User Page: How interesting that you had vandalized my user page in the past by re-inserting vandalism from other users on my page on the basis that "Removal of entries from my own user page is against Wikipedia Policy" as you yourself had stated So what is it called when you do that your self while telling others that it is "Against Policy"? I have a word for it but I probably shouldn't use it here.
I am really getting tired of your repeated acts of STALKING and jumping in on edit disputes that you have absolutely no background knowledge of. Mehrshad123 19:21, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
This arbitration case has closed and the final decision is available at the link above. Mudaliar and User:Venki123 are each banned from editing Wikipedia for a period of one year. This notice is posted by a Clerk on behalf of the Arbitration Committee. Newyorkbrad 15:24, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

A while you ago you deleted links from this page sayin its promotional and stuff. I've added some links. Let me know how they look to you. -- Matt57 ( talk• contribs) 18:45, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
I edited the original redirect for Homa Darabi and moved the Homa information there. -- Matt57 ( talk• contribs) 00:14, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Just to mention that I really appreciate your trying to find and list copyvio images when the original uploader has not been truthful with the source and the license. Thanks! roozbeh 15:22, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
