Resetting the table

I have manually archived the old discussions on the talk page since the forum like posts interspersed with obvious trolling and insults were not conducive to improving the article, which is the raison d'etre of article talk-pages. If something useful was lost in the process it can be recovered from hArchive 8. Editors are welcome to resume discussion of any content issues, but they should familiarize themselves of talk page guidelines as well as wikipedia's general content and behavioral policies. If a issue is not settled by discussion here, please follow one of the dispute resolution processes. Abecedare (talk) 18:47, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Any collage here?

Does someone prefer a collage to be labelled in this article? --115ash 11:35, 15 June 2015 (UTC)


Change pictures

We need to change some of the pictures in the montage. Really how famous are Anousheh Ansari and Pierre Omidyar? Compared to major Persian cultural figures like Googoosh, Leila Forouhar, Mohsen Namjoo, Ahmed Shamlou, Sadeq Hedayat, Forough Farrokhzad, etc. Also key politicians like Mossadeq, the Shah, Khomeini, etc regardless of whether you personally like them or not.

User:Iranmehr2015, I tend to agree, that the montage is not the best. Can you suggest some portraits that would be good to include? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:37, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

request to a wikipedia adminstrator

why any adminstrator dont care about this article, this article is full of errors and misleadings. as you know every nation and nation state has an article in wikipedia. but iranians dont have. swedes, iraqis, french, brazilians. azeris and even state less tiny nations as assyrians and even gypsies have article about them but IRANIANS dont have any article. i hope one admin is creating an article about iranian nation, it is the right to us iranians nation to have an article in wikipedia and it is the right of us to not be mixed with afqans in wikpedia since so many afqans are writing our articles and confusing readers about us iranians. it is true that afqans are wriing articles about us iranians but the admins should not accept that. iranian is not related to afqanis. it is the desire of afqanis that want to be part of us iranians but this its funny and pathetic about afqans. please any adminstrator in wikipedia either create an article about iranian nation in wikipedia or delete everything about afqan in this article.--Iranmehr2015 (talk) 04:51, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

There are articles on Iran and Greater Iran. Can you speak to a specific point in an article, and provide a source for what you are saying? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:51, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

of course there is an article about the country iran in wikipedia. but i dont mean an article about the country, i mean about the nation and peope. iranian nation and people dont have an article in wikipedia. but every other people has article in wikipedia. please creare an article about the iranian people and redirect it with persian. persian is a synonym with iranian. greater iran is a geographical article not about the people. i mean iranian people, like the articles: swedes, french people, italians, spaniards, argentine people.--Iranmehr2015 (talk) 17:34, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

afqans are not persians

persian is a synonym of iranian. in united states the iranians call their country iran and they call themselves persian americans. the iranian film (kasi az gorbehaye irani khabar nadare) is called (no one knows about persian cats) in english. iran have always been the native name of iran but former western name was persia, but now persia and iran are synonyms since 1960 since the iranian then king declared that both names can be used interchangably. afqans are not persians. but they are wanna be. please dontmox us iranians with afqans. it is better for afqans to be proud of their nation in sted being claiming part of iranians.

create an article about the IRANIAN nation and redirect persian with the iranian article and delete everything about afqan. and IF REALLY AFQANS ARE PERSIANS SO PLEASE MAKE THE ARTICLE MORE FUNNY AND PUT PICTURES OF AFQAN PEOPLE IN THE IMAGE SECTTION SIDE BY SIDE WITH IRANIANS. iranian is a synonym with persian. afqans are not related to us. they even do not speak farsi their language is dari. croatian and bosnian are not called serbian and urdu is not called hindi. and swedish is not called danish. stop wannabeness.--Iranmehr2015 (talk) 05:00, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
