• Alhazen & Geber, historic and scholarly sources in regards to these scientists' ethnicity or nationality would be appreciated. --ManiF 20:42, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

See my comments on the discussion page of Geber. His ethnicity is unclear and some put Al-Tusi and some Al-Kufi and some Al-Tartusi (he could even possibly be Greek/Roman). I have not seen anything from the pan-arabist claim that he was from Al-Azdi tribe. I think factually what we need to put is of Shia Muslim (perhaps of Arab or Persian or Greek or Sabian origin). --Ali doostzadeh 22:24, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• Iran, under POV attack, User:Aucaman is now "disputing" the origins of the name Iran! --ManiF 20:42, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• Mughals, under POV attack by Turkish fanatics Tajik 23:18, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

User; Ahwaz is spreading anti-Persian propoganda on the *Arabs of Khuzestan article. I posted official CIA statistics to prove that his claims are false, but of course he changed the subject and started rambling on about his POV.

• Abu_Nasr_Mansur, please also keep an eye on this. -- Ali doostzadeh 19:14, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• User MB is systematically challenging or changing the ethnicity of many Persian scientists such as Alhazen, Al-Ghazali, Khwarizmi, Biruni, Geber, Avicenna, Farabi and etc. to "Arab". --ManiF 16:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Requests for comment/Aucaman is still under review, but a friend of Aucaman has moved the users' comments and views from the main page to discussion claiming that the comments were all made in response to Zora and hence belonged in discussion. I have restored some of the comments weren't in response to Zora, but rather the case. Please make sure that your comments and views are posted under their own section if you'd like to express your views there. --ManiF 16:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Arabs of Khuzestan, the usual crew now claim that there are 4 million Arabs in Khuzestan. --ManiF 16:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Safavids, the dynasty's Iranian origin and character is still under attack. --ManiF 16:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

March 11

Persian people's Mediation Case is still under review and discussion, please read the latest comments and feel free to add your own inputs. --ManiF 17:27, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Al-Khwarizmi, Khwarizmi's origin (Persian) is removed from the article again. Besides the usual Arab claims, User:Zora also claims that Khwarizmi may have been a Turk despite the fact that there weren't any Turkic tribes in Khwarizm back in 700-800. --ManiF 15:44, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Doostaan I am working on the Al-Khawarizmi article. See the Discussion page. Ali doostzadeh 19:34, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Controversial topics

Add controversial Iran-related topics to this list. This is solely for awareness of other Iranian Wikipedians to join discussions on controversial topics. (the most recent on top)

• The Khuzestani related articles:
  • Ahvaz, History of Khuzestan, Ethnic politics of Khuzestan, Arabs of Khuzestan, Khuzestan, and Khaz'al Khan: Attacked by User:Zora and User:Ahwaz
• The Azeri related articles:
  • Safavids: Attacked by pan-Turkist editors
• Islamic Conquest of Persia articles:
  • Jundishapur and Islamic Conquest of Iran: attacked by User:Zora, who claims Iranian editors on Misplaced Pages are "nationalist".
• The Kurdish related articles:
  • Iranian Kurdistan, Iranian people, and Kurds attacked by User:Diyako and User:Heja helweda who claim Kurds are not Iranian. (!)
• The scientist articles:
  • Khwarizmi, Biruni, Geber, Alhazen, Avicenna, Farabi. These articles are constantly under attack. The attackers claim they are not Iranian.

Users to keep a watch on

These are users who are widely known to systematically, methodically, and deliberately be involved with dismantling, attacking, debasing, and injecting misinformation into Iranian related articles, since 2004:

• User:Zora: Editor Zora in the past year has widely contributed to the deletion, dismissal, debasing, and attacking of all edits and articles pertaining to Iran and its culture and history. She has openly denied the existence of "Persian culture" , has viciously tried to attack and revise the Ahvaz, Khuzestan, Islamic conquest of Iran, Elam, and even pages like Shia, Ali, and all related pages to Iran's history and culture. If it wasnt for some of our dedicated editors, the page Ahvaz would now be re-named Al-Ahwaz, by this editor. Please keep an eye over such historical revisionists.
• User:Diyako: Has constantly been attacking Persian and Iranian pages. A complaint against him has already been filed once:
• User:Heja helweda: An anti-Iranian pro-Kurdish editor, same as Diyako. Also involved in propagating opinionated information and half-truths outside Misplaced Pages:
• User:Grandmaster: an anti-Iranian, Azerbaijani Pan-Turkist "terrorizing" the article Safavids.

Newcomers

If there are any newcomers that intend to edit and make contribs on a regular basis, please let me know, leave me a message, or email me. We have a BIG need and deficiency in Iranian editors on WP. I cant edit everything all by myself. We need help.--Zereshk 22:37, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Stubs for Iran

There are now two Iranian stub templates, part of the category Stubs By Region.

• A general Iranian stub {{Iran-stub}} which adds articles to the category Iran stubs.

This Iran-related article is a stub. You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it.

• A geographical Iranian stub {{Iran-geo-stub}} which adds articles to the category Iran geography stubs

This Iran location article is a stub. You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it.

Edits

I have been editing all the articles that refer to Persian scientists as "Muslim" scientists. The articles must include these peoples ethnic origin. Simply refering to them as "Muslim" is misleading. I got 1 message from user, "svest" telling me I will be blocked from editing. I will continue to add the correct information and facts to help fight their lies and propoganda. The articles have to include the Iranian origins of these men. I will file a complaint with Misplaced Pages against these specific members if they continue their anti-Iranian campaign.

Also, pan-turanists continue changing the article regarding the Safavids. They are trying to deny the Safavids Iranian origin and obvious Persian culture. We should keep making the appropriate edits in response.

The article regarding the Persian Gulf should not include any other name for the region besides the "Persian Gulf". The article states that, "Since the 1960s, Persian Gulf Arabs and their states have sometimes referred to the water body as the Arabian Gulf (which is in fact the ancient name of the Red Sea) but this is not commonly used in English and is not acknowledged by organizations such as the United Nations. See Persian Gulf naming dispute."

This section should be removed. The opinions of a few Arab nationalists should not be apart of this article. It is irrelevent what they call the Persian Gulf.Dariush4444 22:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
