/On Nezami Ganjavi article part II - Soviet/Turkish Nationalist distortions

Advice:

Some articles unfortunately get hit a lot due to nationalistic behaviours. These articles try to introduce anachronistic terms, identities and groups. The best way to deal with this issue is to look at the majority of sources in www.books.google.com and www.scholar.google.com Or for example look at expert books. Sometimes a volume is even written by current living experts: [2]. There is no reason in attempting to reason with hard-headed folks from certain areas/countries. Rather mediation process should be started immediately and the mediators should be asked to write e-mails to current world-recognize experts on these issues. That is the best way of solving problems. Usually the side that has the minority viewpoint will try to emphasize the links they find in [www.books.google.com Google Books] and [www.scholar.google.com Google Scholars] However, not all books and articles from these sources are good. In actuality, if an article or book is not specific and specialized on the subject, it should not be used. Wikipedia:Verifiability:"The appropriateness of any source depends on the context. In general, the best sources have a professional structure in place for checking or analyzing facts, legal issues, evidence, and arguments; as a rule of thumb, the greater the degree of scrutiny given to these issues, the more reliable the source." (So article or book on the subject matter itself takes precedence over materials that mention the topic in a pagraph or two..or are not about the subject).

Note also if something is disputed, then if the scholar is dead, it should be asked from Modern scholars whose emails are vailable and a mediator should email that scholar on behalf of users based on a message agreed on both sides..(e.g..[3][4]

Hello

Hi friend, have a look here.--Aliwiki (talk) 17:21, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My apologizes for the false accusation. I explained the reasons why I believed it was a sockpuppetry case. I have been editing for a long time in wikipedia, and there were several accounts in which two or more accounts assisted in the discussion, all being sockpuppets. I have lost so much time for such discussions, and at the end sockpuppets confirmed. I thought it was also such a case. As for the email contents, I would have never disclosed neither your name, nor the contents of the email, unless the administrators would have asked for an off-wiki communication. Again, please accept my sincere apologizes for making a false accusation and creating a disturbance for you. Cabolitæ (talk) 07:12, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Afshin

I left a note at NPOV noticeboard to review the neutrality in the dispute and seek further assistance with the article. I would recommend against removing dispute tags and references from the article until the issues are settled. Thanks. Atabəy (talk) 16:09, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Khodabandeh14. I tried to improve the article Afshin a little bit. Please note that this is not the main article about Khaydar bin Kawus. As for the other article: I think al-Afshin's Iranian origin is undisputed in academic scholarship. See Iranica. I have left a short note at at NPOV noticeboard, but I do not want to get involved, because I am really busy right now. Regards. Tajik (talk) 10:01, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I agree with you..I did mention the two classical sources that mention "Turk" but as shown, the term "Turk" did not mean "Altaic speakers" in such sources. If one reads the historical documents, it is clear Afshin who was accused of being an anti-Arab Iranian was not a Turk. But some later Arab historians who did not have knowledge of the geography used the term for anyone from the far regions of Central Asia. What is important from wikipedia point of view is to use relavent scholars of the field, and also specialized studies on the subject matter. In this case, Golden(2004), and Bosworth(2005) have specialized works and the work of Lewis (1991) is fairly new. These reflect academic mainstream today as there is no specialized sources from the last 20 years that challenges it. I did an extensive googles book search and found more non-specialized sources for Persian/Sogdian, but when it came to distinguished scholars and specialized sources, there was no doubt on the issue from the last 20-30 years. --Khodabandeh14 (talk) 18:23, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. This has much to do with the confusion regarding the word "Turk". Apparently (according to various scholars such as Golden, Scharlip, Sinor, Findley, Róna-Tas, etc.) it is derived from a family-name or title of Khotan-Saka origin. That means that the very first "Turks" were not "Turks" as we understand it today, but belonged to the Indo-European substratum in Central Asia. It is merely thename of a single ruling dynasty, not of an ethnic group. Over the time, they became assimilated by their Turkic nomads, very similar to the way later (actual) Turkic rulers were assimilated by Iranians, Indians, etc. That also explains why these early "Turks" are described in Chinese sources as settled blacksmiths which is very "un-Turkish". That's also where the confusion in very early Arab-Islamic sources comes from. The term "Turk" back then mostly designated the subjects of the "Turk" dynasty, and their land became known as "Bilad al-Turk", which was rather a reference to the ruling dynasty. Hence, a whole bunch of people were refered to as "Turks", the same way in later times all subjects and vassals of the Mongols became known as "Mongols" although many were either Turkic, Slav or from some other group. BTW: I see you have finally found my article Hodud al-'alam. I hope you like it. ;-) However, I do not like the new title you have chosen, because Encyclopaedia of Islam uses "ḤUDŪD AL-ʿĀLAM". Tajik (talk) 20:15, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved the article back to Hudud al-'alam. I know that Iranica uses ḤODUD AL-ʿĀLAM, but in this case, I feel more comfortable with the version of the EI which seems to be more common in English. Tajik (talk) 23:26, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks on the other points. I totally agree with you. In the older Persian literature like Shahnameh for example, Turk was also used as a geographical term, where all the names of the Turks are etymologically Iranian. Hudud would be a somewhat incorrect spelling in the sense that it is حدود العالم and to type both "o" and "u" as و seems awkward. --Khodabandeh14 (talk) 10:12, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On Kelileh va Demneh

Dear Khodabandeh, I have noticed that Kelileh va Demneh has been re-directed to Panchatantra. This is unacceptable to my best opinion. Irrespective of the origin of Kelileh va Demneh, the latter is on its own a canonical literary work in the Persian Literature. If you consider Dehkhod's Loghatnameh, then you will notice that a major body of the non-trivial examples (and by all accounts, some of the most beautiful and most sweet examples of all) that Dehkhoda quotes in support of a given meaning for a given Persian word, is drawn from Kelileh va Demneh. It follows that Kelileh va Demneh has had a development of its own, independent of and parallel to that of Panchatantra, within the framework of the Persian culture and literature. I believe therefore that English Wikipedia must have a separate entry on Kelileh va Demneh, with of course due reference to Panchatantra. It should be clear to all that the aim is not to appropriate Panchatantra in favour of Kelileh va Demneh, but to signify that the two are two unmistakably separate literary components in the larger body of World Literature. With kind regards, --BF 13:53, 28 November 2010 (UTC).[reply]

I totally agree with you . Besides part of the Kalila o Demna was written by Barzuya the Pezeshk. I'll see on what I can do..--Khodabandeh14 (talk) 10:09, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your kind response. It follows that the issue must be raised, for instance amongst those Wikipedians who work on Iran-related subjects (I am personally part of no specific Wikipedia group, but perhaps you are), without delay. I believe that it is an absolute disgrace that no trace can be found of Kelileh va Demneh in English Wikipedia; even in the entry of Borzūya (who in older days was referred to as Borzuyeh Hakim, but now Hakim has been Persianized and made into Pezeshk) the link to Kelileh va Demneh ends up in Panchatantra! An absolutely disgraceful and sad affair! With kind regards, --BF 19:30, 29 November 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Dorood I separated the article and linked it to Iranica.. Hopefully we can expand it.--Khodabandeh14 (talk) 18:27, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dorood bar shoma doust-e aziz! One aspect, at least according to the Introduction by Abdolhamid Monshi to Kelileh va Demneh (i.e. the Bahram Shahi version), Borzuya and Buzarjomehr were two separate persons. I am aware of the fact that the two are sometimes identified as being the same person, but this is certainly not the case in the context of Kelileh va Demneh. In the Introduction we read that Khosrow I, Shah-e Kasra, asked from Borzuyeh the Physician for a favour after his great service of bringing Kelileh va Demneh to Iran and translating it to Pahlavi (this after Borzuyeh the Physician had declined to accept any worldly thing from Khosrow I as reward), and Borzuyeh suggested that a chapter be added to Kelileh va Demneh in which he be named and his efforts be recorded. And this suggestion was accepted by Khosrow I who subsequently tasked Buzarjomehr the Vazir with the writing of this particular chapter. Incidentally, Abdolhamid Monshi in his Introduction refers to the Arabic text by Ibn Moqaffa as being translated from the Pahlavi text. In contrast, according to a chart presented in the Wikipedia entry of Panchatantra, Ibn Moqaffa's text is based on a Syriac text, in turn translated from Pahlavi. The route to the present Kelileh va Demneh, that is the Bahram Shahi Kelileh va Demneh, seems therefore to be Sanskrit -> Middle Persian -> Syriac -> Arabic -> Modern Persian. With kind regards, --BF 23:22, 3 December 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Dear Khodabandeh: Please keep an eye on Khuzestan. It appears that the Arabic Wikipedia has turned Khuzestan into Arabistan. This is the same old sick story that recurs seemingly indefinitely. I am now going to confront the people on the Arabic Wikipedia with your old relevant text here. Kind regards, --BF 23:47, 4 December 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Just to let you know that User:Xqt has kindly corrected the falsification on the Arabic Wikipedia with regard to Khuzestan (I wrote to him about the issue around the time I wrote the above message). Kind regards, --BF 02:45, 6 December 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Dear Khodabandeh, you are welcome. Incidentally, the issue of identifying Borzuya with Buzarjomehr (in the present text of Kelileh va Demneh) remains. As I have mentioned above, Abdolhamid Monshi considers the two as different individuals. With kind regards, -BF 19:01, 8 December 2010 (UTC).[reply]

I know that you are passionate and knowlegble about Iranian history. Wanna try your hand at addressing Folantin's suggestion at bottom of section here? Wikipedia:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard#Cyrus_Cylinder_and_human_rights I'll be around the next few days trying to work on determining the prevalence of scholars supporting/not-supporting the notion that the Cylinder is "Charter of Human Rights." Perhaps you might want to address his in the same manner that he addresses it? GoetheFromm (talk) 21:36, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No hard feelings at all. And thanks for your message. We have our disagreements but I certainly hope that you and I can continue to engage in constructive conversations. On a related note, the "Iranic" term was recently changed by another user, but I have reverted that line back to your version. --Sharisna (talk) 11 February 2011 (UTC)

There has been another dispute that has arisen over the use of "Iranic" for the Kurdish people article. Since you were a part of the compromise to use this term, it would be helpful if you could join. Thanks. --Sharisna (talk) 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Very large posts in the RfC at Talk:Safavid dynasty

Hello Khodabandeh. I just noticed you added 19.5 K of material to the RfC. I'm afraid this will make the whole RfC WP:TL;DR and may realistically prevent other editors from joining in. Can I suggest that you shorten your RfC material to a summary, and create links to supporting material that you create in your own user space? In Arbcom cases, length limits are placed on the postings, and this situation has some similarities. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 01:19, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Safavid dynasty opening paragraph

Hello Khodabandeh. Are you satisfied with the current opening paragraph of Safavid dynasty? Also, are the names given in enough languages? We now have the name of the dynasty in Persian script and in Azeri script, but not romanized. Is this sufficient, from your point of view? Also we are calling it 'Safavid dynasty' and not 'Safavid dynasty of Iran.' Is that OK? I'm trying to see where the continuing disagreements are, if any. Do you oppose Atabəy's idea of giving the name of the dynasty also in Azeri in Latin script? I see from Talk:Safavid dynasty#On the introduction of the article and also the identity of Safavid dynasty that Atabəy may want to change the name of the article to 'Safavid State' or 'Safavid Empire.' I have not yet done all the reading necessary to understand that, and I am concerned that it might be hard to reach agreement on that. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 23:03, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your suggestions

Hello Khodabandeh. You proposed by email some ideas for how enforcement could be improved in the future. Having a group of admins to pay attention to the area would help, but I don't know where you would find such people. Also, any willingness of the editors in the area to participate calmly in discussions would help. I know that the ARBPIA editors have a collaboration project called WP:IPCOLL. Maybe something like that could be created for AA. There are also some ideas listed at the bottom of WP:WGR. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 15:51, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merhaba/Selam

Hi, I don't speak Turkish but you seem like an ubiased person. Can you take a look at the articles Medes in the Turkish Wikipedia? See here: [6]? I think accuracy should be a concern and some of the same users tried to insert these unreliable sources in Persian wikipedia but they failed. Now Turkish Wikipedia is an easier target since no one knows as much about the Medes and also the people that tried to manipulate Persian Wikipedia speadk the language well. Thank you--Khodabandeh14 (talk) 17:07, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Haha :)) I look at this edit. Version of Melikov is better. But Version of Erdarion is Azeri POV pushing edit. Maybe they confused Old Azari language with Azeris. I reccomend you to consult with User:InfoCan and/or User:Noumenon. Takabeg (talk) 17:37, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merhaba again. I do not know Turkish, but the guys you mentioned did not seem to edit the article Medler article again, and the admins there (who might not be knowledge) are supporting their psuedo-science. --Khodabandeh14 (talk) 21:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately some users (including some admins) in Turkish Wikipedia confuse neutral point of view with accepting pseudohistory. But most users know these problems. About discussion page of Medler, Melikov think his edits abnormal. Melikov wrote that there is no scholar who claims such theory in Azerbaijan (Baku). There are many articles like this in Turkish Wikipedia. For example tr:İskitler :)) Takabeg (talk) 22:13, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tabatabaei

Salam. Can you help find the source, which indicates that the Ayatollah Muhammad Husayn Tabatabaei ethnic Azeri? Did he know Azeri language? (Bazargan, for example, do not know Azeri language, but he is an ethnic Azeri). Tabatabaei is a very remarkable man. In English about this biography a little information. I know that in Iran, all Muslim nations considered a single Muslim nation. Maybe there are Persian sources, which says that Tabatabai is a ethnic Azerbaijani/Azeri. Талех (talk) 17:28, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Salaam. Tabatabaei are a large scattered group in Iran. They are all descendants of Imam Hassan (AS) but I assume they speak the native language of each town. So it is very possible that Tabatabei's mother tongue was Azeri Turkish (at least I think this is likely the case). But I am not sure if he considerd himself ethnically Turkish (say for example like the Oghuz Qajar tribe). Since technically, he is a Tabatabaei, and they trace their descent from Imam Hassan (AS). Some of these families usually keep a lineage tree of their exact descent to the Imams. God knows best.
