Trying to fix up the page by adding more detail and in particular references! I have two so far that are useful which I have referred to in the article. The Dabashi article is quite long and detailed and contains many references itself.

[edit] Comments on the Biography
There was a sentence, "... born probably to Azerbaijanian parents ...", in the article that was deleted by an anonymos contributor, reasoned in "Edit summary" by "removed baseless speculation about his parents. the person who injected this info also put "Turkick" for Atilla in that article. for sure a calculated move". Wish (s)he had mentioned the case in the Talk page. Anyway, I leave this note in talk page for those who can verify this case. --Pouya 10:56, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)
EsatErbili 14:52, 11 November 2006 (UTC)Esaterbili I removed the reference to the name "Abu Jafar Muhammad Ibn Muhammad Ibn al-Hasan Nasir al-Din al-Tusi" because I plan on referring to his father (which fixes the whole geneological system) as Muhammad Ibn Al-Hasan (reference 1)

- It's like a geneological system. It's a mix of patronymics and an Arabic system of naming what you are father of. I think it amounts to "Nasir al-Din al-Tusi: Son of Al-Hasan, son of Muhammad, father to Jafar", but I'm not certain there.--T. Anthony 10:50, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
