You probably don’t understand what the Wiki project tag is for. It shows that this article was developed by members of a certain Wikiproject. It is not used to show that something belongs to Azerbaijan or Iran. The members of Iran Wikiproject have not contributed a single line to this article, and claiming other peoples hard work is simply not nice. So the tag is irrelevant.

Okay I will develop it and shows its connections to Iran. I already left a stub. So stop tampering with it user:AnMaster. 72.57.230.179

As far as I know you are a member of our Wikiproject, so you should add our tag to the articles. Grandmaster 11:37, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

of course I will . i want it faired and balance. 72.57.230.179

This article is made by members of the WikiProject Azeri, so the WikiProject Iran tag doesnt belong here. Baku87 21:56, 19 May 2006 (UTC)Baku87

This is developed by Azeri wikiproject indeed. so we will keep removing the stub abdulnr 15:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I reverted deletions by anon, probably Azerbaijani. Grandmaster 04:36, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

It was me, for some reason I was logged off when I pressed save, I was pretty sure I was logged on prior to that.Anyway, the Shirvanshah architecture was not Azerbaijani architecture.Azerbaijani 05:19, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

How? To this day the buildings in Absheron, Shirvan and other regions are built in the same style. I can show you the pictures. The palace of the Shirvanshahs is the major influence to Azerbaijani architecture. Grandmaster 05:53, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

That doesnt make it Azerbaijan architecture though. If Iran today were to imitate the Achaemenid building style, that would make it Elamite or Babylonian architecture, not Iranian (because the Achaemenids adopted Elamite/Babylonian architecture). The architecture in Azerbaijan is Shirvanshahi architecture, not Azerbaijani, if what you say is true. Grandmaster, you really need to put your nationalism and personal political feelings aside.Azerbaijani 15:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
