Done. -- Fullstop 16:14, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Stop

Like i said before, removing sources and refrences, making drastic changes without discussion or any source, deleting images, is against wikipedia policy, and is simply vandalism. --Spahbod 18:01, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

The "drastic" changes are neither drastic, nor do they include the removal of any material. Besides, there is nothing on the old page (included in the new one) that didn't come from me originally. -- Fullstop 18:17, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

If you have an issue with any sentence on that page, then DISCUSS it here. -- Fullstop 18:19, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

{{npov}}

I've now flagged the article as {{npov}}. If you have an issue with it, DISCUSS IT. --Fullstop 18:22, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Summary of issue at stake: According to User:Spahbod: "The fact remains that Parsis are not indian"

Response: They are an ethnic group unbound by national borders. But as it says in the lede sentence, they are from (countries of) the Indian subcontinent. Whether they are considered Indians (they are), and whether they feel Indian (they do) is supported by citation throughout the article. No contradiction from the old version, nor from external sources:

I have already DISCUSSED IT, STOP VANDALIZING. you have deleted the Parsis infobox, deleted the Mercury image, deleted references, then you accuse me of asserting POV too? this is simply VANDALISM, i will now report you to administrators for vandalism. --Spahbod 18:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

1) I hardly will "vandalize" my own text. 2) So, I commented out the infobox, so what? 3) The mercury image was under Famous Parsis, which is now at Category:Parsis. 4) You say you've "discussed" it, but I see no sign of discussion. -- Fullstop 18:36, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

You wrote the text or not does not justify you vandalizing the article. Deleting infoboxed, images, references... You have been reported for vandalism. --Spahbod 18:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Again, you have have failed to cite a single instance of "vandalism". Again, if you wish to discuss your "Parsis are not indian", then by all means do so. But reverting articles is not the correct process for discussion. -- Fullstop 18:43, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

You never once discussed before vandalzing the whole article. I am going to show you the very same sources you showed me:

Common use: Search Google.

Encyclical use: Brittanica 2006/1911,Columbia, Catholic,Encarta, Yahoo, Routledge, not to mention Misplaced Pages

And this UNESCO Parsi project website which already is in the article: http://www.unescoparzor.com/intro.htm

Please read them yourself, and you see Parsis are not Indian.

Furthermore i am gonna repeat myself about your vandalism: you have deleted the Parsis infobox, deleted the Mercury image, deleted references, then you accuse me of asserting POV? this is simply vandalism.--Spahbod 18:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
