[edit] Artaxerex banned for a period of one year

For the sake of moving on, I have archived the entire discussion from this page. Now that he is gone, I can finally return to editing this article for the first time since April. Let's start talking about improving the article. ♠ SG →Talk 23:00, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Corruption and Wealth Section

This section is very biased and does not include sources for its claims. Are the sources biased? Also, the Shah was the Emperor of Iran, so one would expect he would have several palaces as any monarch of any nation typically does. It either needs to be fixed or removed.

[edit] Marriages

By the way, Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz has 4 wives concurrently and about 35 children. We don't know the names of those spouses and nobody cares. At least Caligula was honest and transparent.03:51, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Birtdate

The two birthdates are diffrent one of them is 16th and the other 26th —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.108.168.106 (talk) 06:44, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lead and neutrality

"succeeded[neutrality disputed][opinion needs balancing] in modernizing the nation, nationalizing many natural resources and extending suffrage to women, among other things." Is there a dispute over this issue? I think it is based on virtual consensus.--Agha Nader (talk) 19:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Death?

I know he died, but I see no mention of particulars, like where or cause of death, etc. Strange omission.... Bigmac31 (talk) 22:04, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. There used to be a whole section on his exile and death, his burial in Cairo, etc. Why was all of this information removed? 74.68.123.162 (talk) 19:22, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
The section was deleted by a vandal on 4 February, but not noticed at the time. I have now restored it in its most recent version. Vilĉjo (talk) 00:32, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] religion

What was the religion of the shah? None of the articles on any of the shahs really say this. Was he a shi'ite, or something else like a zoroastrian? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.126.67.144 (talk) 05:31, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

The Kashmir issue was solved in 1958, sadly Ayub Khan took over and betrayed the Pakistani people.

The real story behind Iraq, Iran ,Turkey and Pakistan: A meeting of the Baghdad Pact, July 1958 King Faisal II killed and assasinated by CIA. Shah of Iran 1973 revolution thanks to CIA. Iskander Mirza exiled 1958 by CIA. Adnan Menders Turkish PM false charges by CIA.

Had these countries joined an alliance US wouldnt be the superpower anymore.

True stories being told by great grand son of Iskander Mirza,

Humayun Mirza jr.

Tired of all the false facts and not everyone knowning the truth.

[edit] Birth Place

I edited country in "Birth Place" section of the box to Tehran, Iran (known as Persia then) to avoid confusion. Persian Empire, which was the term used before, was not appropriate here as it does not imply the country in modern sense and is misleading.

Some might translate "Shahanshahi-ye Iran" to Persian Empire. However, firstly that term was not used untl later in the Shah's era. Secondly, there has been no official translation of that term to English anywhere in official sense. Things like "Artesh Shahanshahi" and "Nirooye Havaii Shahanshahi" were translated as Royal Army of Iran or Iranian Royal Air Force and not Empirical Army etc.
