If someone ever gets around to making pages for each of the Iranian shah, they should make sure that the page title has a label such as (Safavid) to disambiguate it from more prominent individuals with the same name. I noticed this with the listing of a Safavid king named Husain, which was the same name of the grandson of Muhammad who is a revered figure.

Before 1935, it is an anachronism to speak of an Iranian monarchy, as on this page. Persia is the correct term. Wetman 21:19, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Shah of Iran

Since Shah of Iran redirects here that phrase should appear somewhere in the article in bold. It also seems to me that specific mention should be made of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in the same sentence, as when westerners today speak of "the Shah of Iran", 95% of the time they mean him. I'm sure many people use that phrase to look up information about who he is, and find it less than helpful to find a page about the monarchy in general. Anyone have any ideas on the best way to do this without disrupting the current text? -R. fiend 17:14, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

I gave it a shot. If anyone thinks it needs work make changes or discuss it here. -R. fiend 16:43, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] King list

Are you aware that there is already an article called List of kings of Persia, which goes back to the Medes and Elamites. Str1977 15:40, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Persian vs. Iranian

Could you, if you will, please have a look into the following dispute on the Zoroastrian talk page.

[edit] Dates

Shouldn't we show the actual dates of rule ? Most of the dates seem to be birth and death but some are dates of ruling. List of kings of Persia overlaps and seems much clearer. -- Beardo 14:56, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced

There are no sources for this article. For instance, the sentence "The modern Iranian monarchy was established in 1501 after the Safavid dynasty came to power under Shah Ismail I, and ended the so-called "fourth era" of political fragmentation." has no source. This sentence seems to be the basis of this article too. Agha Nader 03:35, 10 April 2007 (UTC)Agha Nader
