"Chocolate City of Iran"? Not really?

[edit] Changes to Famous People and City of First sections

Hi, I have noticed that some changes have been made to Tabriz Article. Generally I think this way it's better. This makes the article shorter and more pleasent to read. But I have some points to make: 1. I think The city of firsts section is important enough to remain in the main article. As the case is in the Persian version of the article. 2. The issue that Tabriz is the city of firsts in Iran is not what Tabrizis believe. It's a documented fact. 3. Shortenening the list of famous Tabrizis in Tabriz article and moving the remaining names to a seperate article may be arbitrary in that which names should remain in the main article. A better way of cleaning up this section may be categorising the list and allowing all names to remian in Tabriz article as it is done in Isfahan article. 4. Besodes in articles about other cities all famous people are included and the list is not shortened. So either we should follow the suit in Tabriz article or there shoud be a wikipedia clean up policy which applies the other cities as well.

Please discuss these points so that we can decide weather we should restore the article to the previous versions or not. Regards,--Faucon7 21:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
