[edit] Ahvaz

Please stop adding that. "Al-Ahwaz" is a wrong name. Alefbe is right. --Wayiran (talk) 05:22, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

No, you are wrong. sources: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. and it Pronounced as أحواز and also أهواز. Mussav (talk) 20:31, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

www.alahwaz.org is run by a militant ultra-nationalist group which uses the term al-ahwaz to refer to Khuzestan. Here, we talk about the city, not about the Khuzestan province. Alefbe (talk) 20:43, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

أهواز is the official local name of the city in Arabic, I have reverted Mussav's edit. --Kurdo777 (talk) 22:25, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

This is just one of the sites, what about the others? Al-Ahwaz tv? Al-Ahwaz radio? Al-Ahwaz studies?..etc there are diffrent orginazitions from Al-Ahwaz and all of them call it أحواز and الأهواز. Mussav (talk) 03:08, 26 May 2009 (UTC) Mussav (talk) 02:53, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

All those websites are related to Ultra-nationalist groups which use the name Al-Ahwaz to refer to Khuzestan. This discussion is about the city, not the Khuzestan province. Alefbe (talk) 03:15, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

So you are saying they call their province by the Arabic name أحواز and call their capital city by the Persian one? you don't make any sense. Mussav (talk) 19:48, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm from Ahwaz and live in Ahwaz. It's Ahwaz(Ahvaz) اهواز city and Khuzestan خوزستان province. I don't know Arabic but I have never heard Al-Ahwaz here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.144.142.89 (talk) 14:18, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Siavash Ghomeyshi

Why is Siavash Ghomeyshi listed under a notable Ahvazi? His wikipedia page clearly indicates that he comes from Dezful, not Ahvaz. I am going to remove him from the list. Bozium (talk) 19:01, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
