"History" in this article might be copy vio from [1].
  • History content was added at version March 2005 (diff[2])
  • Website above exists in Internet Archive of November 2004 [3]

This content is not much the same word-by-word, but is almost the same. Especially, using Islamic Calender, and Hazrat Ma'soomeh "(AS)" is characteristic. -Kotoito 15:09, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Ive made some edits to avoid copyright tags on the page. The page isnt copyvioed, because the only editor anywhere to have used the word "Al e Buyeh" (seen in the text) is me. Same for the name "Khoda Bandeh", which I personally translated to be the equivalent of Oljeitu (also known as Nicholas). Nevertheless I made many changes to put the Copyvio claim to a rest. Lets see what Behrooz will come up with next :)--Zereshk 00:18, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your edit. And I can traslate it into Japanese at my ease. But I have one more favor to ask of you that you add same edit to Qom Province. Kotoito 00:58, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
I'll get to it in a few days.--Zereshk 19:37, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Abbasid era taken out

Emily,

In your edits, you deleted two paragraphs pertaining to the Abbasid era history of Qom. Is there any particular reason for doing so?--Zereshk 18:41, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling

Could we decide on one spelling only, so as to be consistent within the article? 158.143.162.119 11:44, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Some Ideas

I was looking for carpets on ebay, and came up with antique carpets from Qom, and then found out about the carpet industry in Qom, which is big, 1500 looms. How about adding this? I think you also need a map of where it is, geography, a picture of it, climate, demographics, culture, law, more links... (scope_creep 20:12, 13 July 2006 (UTC))

If youre able to back it up with sources, go 4 it. Add it in.--Zereshk 23:29, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Largest seminary

The city is home to Iran's largest seminary, competing only with Najaf in Iraq. This is odd- competing on what basis? Largest seminary in Shia Islam? All Islam? All religions? In any case I think it should be 'rivalled only by'- Qom 'competes' rather successfully at least with everywhere else in Iran on any of these terms. HenryFlower 13:14, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Persian WP article

Currently*, the interlanguage link leads to an empty page. I cannot believe there is no article on this city at the Persian WP. Can somebody verify and either remove or correct the link? – Wikipeditor

[edit] Manufacturing murderers

I have noticed that Qom is actually the source whence a great many murderers have received doctoral-level training in the areas of murder, torture, public corruption, and stealing the oil revenue to perpetuate this cycle. These mullahs are highly dangerous to society as a whole, especially Iran.

Can we add this to the article?--71.105.247.132 16:47, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
