Persian script

Hello. Persian script is the same whether you call the language Dari or not. There is already Misplaced Pages wide consensus that Persian should be used. Please stop changing that. Thanks. -- Behnam (talk) 16:59, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok show me the consensus please. DreamOfJeannie (talk) 17:00, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

The consensus is on every single Afghanistan related article. There is no difference between "Dari" script is Persian script and Dari is just a politicized name of Persian. -- Behnam (talk) 17:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

In other words "Dari" uses Persian script. There is no such thing as Dari script. -- Behnam (talk) 17:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I see, there is no consensus. Please do not make edits to confound the people. DreamOfJeannie (talk) 17:14, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I know that Dari uses Persian script. But I mean the language not the script: Dari is Afghanistan's Persian and e.g. not Iran's. Also the Chagatai language used the Persian script, but it was by no means Persian but Turkish.

See also the article for the Dari language: Dari (Persian): I am citing: In Afghanistan Dari is also generically called Farsi, as are all languages in the Persian sub-group of languages. This means that Persian is a too general name. Dari is a more specific one so it must be used in the Afghanistan articles. DreamOfJeannie (talk) 17:14, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

The "Persian" there is meant to refer to the script, not the language in Afghanistan. -- Behnam (talk) 17:21, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Really? But have a look at the article Dari (Persian). I am citing the first line: Dari (Persian: دری) is the official name for the Persian language spoken in Afghanistan DreamOfJeannie (talk) 17:23, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes... and we are referring to these script in these articles. Not the spoken language. -- Behnam (talk) 17:26, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. -- Behnam (talk) 17:21, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
