Talk:Chicago's Persian heritage crisis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] BBC Persian link

Could somebody find a English version of this article? If not, could somebody write the ref tag in accordance with {{cite news}}? Also, what is the exact ruling being made and why? This article doesn't really make any sense in regards to this. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:41, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Never mind; took information from the Sun-Times article and filled in details. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:03, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles in Persian language

Could somebody read the Persian articles and add in the cites if they repeat the information. I'd also hope that the Persian language articles can add more to the "Iranian response" section. I feel that trying to use only English language sources only contributes to our systemic bias. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 10:03, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Title

Is this the best title? Isn't calling it a "crisis" sort of imply a POV? I mean, I would say that the plaintiffs wouldn't consider this a crisis. Perhaps the best way to deal with this is to add the details of the bombing itself and consider the rest of the article as part of its aftermath. I'd like to have a discussion first, as I would hate to have some sort of page move war going on. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 19:29, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

It was indeed a crisis. A huge collection of Persian antiques have been taken hostage in US. It produced nation-wide anger and fear in Iran. Two decades ago, Iranians took several American diplomats as hostages in order to put them on trial. It is called the hostage "crisis". It produced nation-wide anger in the US. The two events are very similar in nature. Sangak 15:58, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
