-I added Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province as it has a large population of Bakhtiari Lors. --DFront21 02:29, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

-Removing the sentence that Lurs are Persian. First, no evidence is provided. Second, if this was the case, we would call ourselves "Fars" and not "Lor." Thank you. --DFront21 02:54, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Nobody in Iran refers to themselves as "Persian" (Fars). Yes, Lori people refer to themselves as Persian in the West. In Iran they are Irani. But, we are not Farsi speaking. Lori is a distinct ethnic group with its own language. I changed the introduction to reflect this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.219.142.109 (talk) 06:01, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Language

The luri language was a kurdish dialect that got more and more affected by persian grammatic (or is it kurdish grammatic with persian words, im not sure). But now i dont know what it is. that was the history. Many lors say that they are kurds, but if they are kurds or not its up to them.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:StampLorWoman.gif

Image:StampLorWoman.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
