[edit] 1001 Nights

Thanks for deleting my intro to the 1001 Nights, though it was by far the most encyclopedic thing on the page. I think you did so because of the reference to Hazar Elfsenah, which really does not exist.

Wikipedia has lost me as a contributer. I will be putting the info up on my own website, and continuing to do my PHD dissertation focusing on the 1001 Nights, something I know a little about.

[edit] Scythia

Marmoulak, your Scythia rv removed a big volume of sourced material that was removed by a sequence of vandalic revisions. Please review the contents again. Than you, Barefact 22:00, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

No it is not, there is an archeology section and you should bring actual quotes from your article. Also do not remove the 14 references about Scythians being Iranian. --alidoostzadeh 02:46, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Barefact, I reverted back your edit because it did contain removal of sourced material. As alidoostzadeh said, you can't remove the statement about Scythians being Iranian because it is a generaly accepted theory. Of course nothing is certain about scythians and there are some disputes but matters as old as scythians are mostly disputed. Scythians are categorized as Iranian people because according to the scythian inscriptions that were found their language was an eastern Iranian language.(Marmoulak 18:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC))

Can you please explain your revert? This is not the proper way. Rokus01 10:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

• Ali doostzadeh and/or 69.86.16.239
• Khosrow II
• Jpbrenna
• Arash the Bowman
• Marmoulak
• Tajik

You may want to attract other your allies to this mediation effort

[edit] Khomeini

Marmoulak, your Khomeini rv removed several relevent,non-controversial pieces of sourced material about Khomeini. Please review the contents again. Thank you, --Leroy65X 20:58, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Your insertions in the article violate NPOV, not to mention they are far from being facts. Stop spreading propaganda in Wikipedia. - Marmoulak 14:40, 1 November 2006 (UTC).

[edit] You

I din't know adding sourced informatioin was vandalism. CJK 01:21, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Iran Iraq War

They are removing sourced information. If they revert again, do not engage them in an edit war, just notify an admin that they have been continuously taking out sourced information. I dont know what else to do, and those stereotypical comments they have been making doesnt help their case much.Khosrow II 04:45, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, personal insults and accusations are getting out of hand, I think it's time we take it to an admin. - Marmoulak 04:48, 6 November 2006 (UTC).

If you don't sign the mediation you'll both be convicted internally and banned. Sign or get the hell out. Touch the article again and you'll be gone permanantly from Wikipedia. The question you should ask yourself is this: do you feel lucky? You've already lost and just don't know it. "Sourced" biased or not, information has not been removed but moved. You two removed that. By all means get administration. I wonder what that means in your camp? Marky48 05:20, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I think it is you who will be banned if you keep on behaving like this- Marmoulak 17:18, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Sign or be banned. It's really that simple. Continued interferance with this process will be held against your record, which I might add contains past violations. Under scrutiny this won't be in your favor. Marky48 19:50, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Ok!, I am looking forward to "getting banned" then!!! - Marmoulak 19:58, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

You'll meet your Waterloo I assure you. In fact I'm getting the administrators now.Marky48 03:44, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Arbitration

[edit] Salaam

Marmoulak-khaan, salaam:

Mibinam ke injaa rubai-ye-Hakim Khayyam darid. Shomaa in ham daarid?

Tongeh mei-ye-la'al khaaham va divaani Sadd-e-ramaaqi baayaad va nesf-e-naani Vangeh man va to neshasteh dar viraani Khoshtar bovad az momlakat-e-saaltaani.

Agar na -- khub ast. Agar areh -- cheh ensh'Allah!

(So as not to be rude to anyone else -- it's in Farsi above because the poem I'm asking for is in Farsi and I don't just want to give the awful Fitzgerald translation):

Marmoulak, hello:

I see that you have a Khayaam rubai here. Do you also have this one?

...

If not -- OK. If yeah -- what luck!

Man az shomaa kheili mamnoun hastam, aaqaa! (trans: thanks)

(P.S. Sorry about all the edits -- wiki seemed to lose some lines!) -- QTJ 02:12, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nice Userpage

lol, I love your user page. The poem from Khayyam and the "Devils Advocate". I just wanted to know where do you live? And I wanted to tell you your doing good on protecting wiki from unreferenced claims (like Khomeini's page) Khosh bashi ;-) --Arad 03:00, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brzezinski pages

Marmoulak, if you activate your e-mail, I will try to send you the Brzezinski pages tonight. (I would prefer not to post them publicly; I'm comfortable that showing you the pages for your review is fair use, because they're only a few pages and they're the minimum necessary for you to review the citations for accuracy, but I'm not confident that posting them publicly would qualify as fair use.)

In general, if you get a chance to pick up the Brzezinski book from one of the internet booksellers or interlibrary loan, I would recommend it. Brzezinski's memoirs have a lot of reflections regarding the fall of the Shah (way too many to scan), and I think the memoirs would be very interesting for an Iran history buff like you.

[edit] Iran Article

Dear Marmoulak - you have removed my contributions to the above article, without giving any explanation for your editions. I am a historian, and my contributions are not based on my religious or political orientations, but natural observations and years of research. Next time please provide us with your historical reasons with citations for removing the entries if you believe the contibuted historical data were wrong, so the Wikipedians could enjoy and benefit from your knowledge. Regards Surena 06:13, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Dear Marmoulak - My contribution was covering the period of our history that was missing from the Iran article. i.e. from fall of Sasanian dynasty to the coming of Safavids (700-1500 CE). If you read my entries you will realise that my edition was concise, in order to give the Wikipedians an outlook of the period in question without going to details. Best Surena 06:52, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help

Salam!

During last month I worked on this article. I would like to invite you to see the article and help in improving it. I would like to invite you to see the parts on Iranian culture in particular. Long live Iran! Sina Kardar 19:06, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Two Articles in need of your attention

There are two entries at Wikipedia, which have falsely created -- they are Turco-Persian and Turko-Persian Tradition. Both entries are factitious. I have requested the entries to be deleted. My reasons are:

The term Turko-Persian Tradition (or Turco-Persian) does not exists academically and it is a factitious entry! Check the Encyclopaedia Iranica to confirm -- The correct name for that culture is the Persianate culture not the "Turko-Persian". Turkophones (mostly of mixed race and Persianized in culture) only spoke in Turkic dialects and were in the military. That is not enough participation in creating and forming the culture to deserve the name "Turko-Persian Tradition" – This is misinformation. All the elements in that area, which have to do with tradition and culture, were drawn from the Iranian culture (Persian, Kurdish, Azari, Baluchi, Tajik, Luri, Gilaki, Talishi, Mazandarani, etc.), and the Islamic faith, not much Turkic elements (like shamanism, yurts etc.) were incorporated in. That is what makes the name "Turko-Persian" an imaginary one and therefore the entry should be deleted.

Any contributions would greatly appreciated. Bā Sepās Surena 02:36, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thanks, and happy editing.

--Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 20:22, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Second try

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 11:48, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

Why have you ignored my polite requests for you to use edit summaries, without even giving me the courtesy of a reply? --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 23:17, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, I use an edit summary for every edit — it's not much of a chore. More importantly, your edit-summary usage is not only 0& for minor edits, but only 19% for major edits ([3]; compare mine). Leaving aside the fact that it's a courtesy to other editors, and a practice requested by Wikipedia, an edit with no edit summary is usually an unexplained edit, and so much more likely to reverted. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:19, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reverting my edit

It would be nice if you could drop me a line on my talkpage before reverting "my edit". I try not to see the empty part of the glass only ... And I just understood this woman is the source of that "propaganda". I am not generally interested in editing such pages anyways. Take care. Sangak 08:48, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Take it easy. Good luck with your exams. I also prefer to spend my energy on Abbas Kiarostami, Ebrahim Golestan and Darius Shayegan and alike rather than those topics. Take care. :-) Sangak 20:02, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ==The Book of One Thousand and One Nights==

Please do not remove reliably sourced, cited information from the article as "original research" -- it is not. Also, while you are correct that Galland's claim that two or more tales came from different, later, sources, is not neutral, the removal of that claim is a misapplication of the NPOV policy -- the claim does not have to be neutral, as long as Wikipedia's presentation of it is. Since the text makes it clear that it is, in fact, Galland's claim, and the timeline is cited to two sources verifying that, NPOV isn't an issue. Shimeru 08:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Salam

Please take a look at History of fundamentalist Islam in Iran. I am happy that the article attracted a few critical editors. The more people take part the less chance will be for POV.
