Talk:Azerbaijani people

Recent addition

It's better to clarify past issues of Azari elsewhere in the article, as far as I see Template:Infobox ethnic group assumes only languages spoken presently. Ehud (talk) 17:49, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Where did you find in that page the specification "current languages". Infobox is a useless part of wikipedia. But if used, they should be used with care and neutral. Xashaiar (talk) 17:55, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

The native language of people identified as Azerbaijani (per subject of this article) is Azerbaijani (Turkic). Therefore, Azerbaijanis are recognized as a Turkic-speaking nation. So edits such as: a) adding some "Azari" language, existence of which was never substantiated by a broader reliable research; and b) changing Turkic people to Persian people in the disclaimer, constitute original research.

I agree with Atabey and it seems to me that Xashaiar hasnt even bothered to read the article. The ancient Azari language is mentioned in the article, but the infobox should be about the modern situation. Another violation of the rules by Xashaiar is that he edits without consensus and even without discussion, note that this discussion was started by Ehud. Mursel (talk) 09:35, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Everything else in the infobox is mentioned in the article. Do you have any reason (other than POV pushing) to remove "azari language" as the original language of northwestern Iran (and Shirvan) but keep other info? Your statement "infobox should be about the modern situation" is clearly self-made rule. I guess we could add Russian language too. Because it is really spoken by people in Baku. I remind that the other user in this discussion is not allowed ([1]) to make any edit on articles that could be related to Iran, Armenia, ....Xashaiar (talk) 10:38, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Someone wants to imply something?

Wikipedia is not place of Iran's assimilationist policy. What the hell is the genetic map? What are you trying to say? This is a special thing for the Azerbaijanis on Wikipedia? Genetic analysis of people can not be encyclopedic information. This is unethical! Esc2003 (talk) 09:47, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

I think you mean the Genetic map is not Notable. By reading Wikipedia content policy , I think we can talk about the reasons to add or not to add that section (genetics).--Alborz Fallah (talk) 07:44, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Work needed

Unfortunately, from when it was first promoted to FA status, this article has not been maintained to meet FA standards. Right now, there are a significant number of tags on the article, including citation needed tags, page needed tags and a bunch of dead link tags. There are also improperly formatted references (web refs missing publishers, Google books formatted like webpages instead of books, journal articles that give the hosting service as the publisher, etc.) and a mix of English varieties (I see both neighbor and neighbour, for example). If these issues (especially all of the tags) are not addressed, this article may need to go through the Featured Article review process. Please let me know if you have any questions, Dana boomer (talk) 20:08, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

This article will be taken to featured article review in one week if editors fail to address the issues of bias, reliability, prose, images, comprehensiveness and formatting that beset this article. It doesn't seem to meet any of the featured article criteria. DrKiernan (talk) 09:44, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

South Azerbayjan population

User:Pejman47 delete [2][3] the refrence of South Azerbayjan population without any talk. The reference that used in article:

18.5 to 27 million

• Encyclopedia of the Stateless Nations: S-Z Approximately (2002e) 18,500,000 Southern Azeris in Iran, concentrated in the northwestern provinces of East and West Azerbaijan.

Estimates of the Southern Azeri population range from as low as 12 million up to 40% of the population of Iran - that is, nearly 27 million.
