[edit] merger of al-Afshin and Afshin

Hi, Parthian Shot. Sounds like a good idea. I don't know wikipedia's procedures here. What I'll do is write here anything I think ought to be added from al-Afshin to Afshin (since I'm easy going on the name, though there ought to be redirect to Afshin from al-Afshin) and you say yes or state your objections. Sound good? Gallador 02:09, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Parthian Shot. I think we otta add here that the Armenian leader turned Babak over to Afshin, Afshin brought Babak to the caliph and Babak was executed. I would spell out the reward as in the al-Afshin article. I think for the English reader Byzantine invasion has much more meaning than Anatolian campaign. If you follow the Theophilos link you'll see there it's claimed that the Byzantine emperor destroyed the birthplace of al-Mu'tasim and the caliph's response was against the major Byzantine city that was the birthplace of that Byzantine dynasty. Why not include the description of Afshin's son's wedding? I think names can be spelled one way, and, if there's a link (Maziar, for example) than that's a good one to use. That's it for now. What do you think? Gallador 02:50, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
