Welcome!

Hello, Bkouhi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Choqok

I have "userfied" the article for you - undeleted it and moved it into a sub-page in your user space at User:Bkouhi/Choqok where you can work on it. Read WP:Your first article and WP:Writing better articles for advice. There is a German version at de:Choqok which may be helpful. The most useful references are ones that actually discuss it, rather than just listing it and repeating its features. Let me know when you think it is ready, and I will have a look, as the administrator who closed the deletion discussion at WP:Articles for deletion/ChoqoK. If I am not convinced, you could ask at WP:Deletion review. I don't know why someone moved the old article to "ChoqoK" with a capital K: both the "Official home page" and the author's blog listed in the article have a small k. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:58, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Uploding

Hi, can I upload this and this on another wikipedia under the terms of fair use? Thanks. Bkouhi (talk) 17:21, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bkouhi, welcome to Wikipedia! Each language of Wikipedia has different rules for fair use. I would really suggest asking at the Wikipedia that you want to move the pictures to. Howicus (talk) 17:34, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of BSD libc

The article BSD libc has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Notability not established per WP:NSOFT: no reliable third-party sources have been given that explain what is special enough about the BSD C library to warrant a separate article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Nomination of BSD libc for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article BSD libc is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BSD libc until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 10:56, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Michael W. Lucas

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Michael W. Lucas requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. —Largo Plazo (talk) 02:18, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

دعوت به مدیریت

سلام. احتمالن بحث پیرامون مدیران جدید را در قهوه‌خانه‌دیده‌ای. اینقدر در این چندروزه شما را پینگ کرده‌اند، که در تمام عمرم من را اینقدر نکرده‌اند!!! بنده می‌خواهم شما و کاربر آرش وکیلیان را برای مدیریت نامزد بکنم. لطفن مخالفت نکن. مسئولیت چندان خطیری نیست. امروزه مثل چندسال پیش نیست که مدیریت را خیلی سخت بگیریم. امیدوارم دوستان نیز سخت نگیرند. هدف، کمک بیشتر به دانشنامه و رفع موارد مطروحه در وپ:تام است که بنده توانایی ورود به این بحثها را ندارم ولی دیده‌ام که شما در بحثهای مهمی از این قبیل، همواره موفق بودید. زیاد هم از وقتتان را نمی‌خواهیم بگیریم. همین اندازه که به سهم خودتان چندتا از تقاضاهای وپ:تام را پاسخ بگویید، برای حداقل بازدهی، مناسب است. منتظر پاسخ مثبتتان هستم. لطفن به من ایمیل بزنید تا ایمیلتان هم برای زمان آینده داشته باشم.SaMin SAmIN (talk) 11:17, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

سلام گیر ۳پیچ جان، من که همین دو ماه پیش بود نظرخواهی داشتم، به نظرم یک نظرخواهی دیگر کمی زود خواهد بود و من از همین الان می‌بینم که کاربران به خودشون می‌گن «این همون یارو نیست که هفته پیش یه نظرخواهی داشت و بعدش ما کلی رأی دادیم، اما بعدش یهو زد زیر همه چیز؟» این را به این خاطر می‌گویم که از آن موقع تاکنون وضعیت و شرایط تغییر خاصی نکرده و هنوز همه چیز طبق روال سابق پیش میره، من هنوز روی حرفم در مورد کپی‌رایت محصولات ایرانی هستم و هنوز هم مدت چندانی نگذشته که من «به تجربم اضافه بشه» و آمادهٔ مدیریت بشم. به نظرم بهتره من از راه‌های دیگری به پروژه کمک کنم و این کارها را به کاربران بسیار لایق و شایسته‌ای چون شما، چالاک، سید، آرش عزیز و بقیه دوستان بسپاریم. ممنون از لطف‌تان. -- Bkouhi (talk) 14:31, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This ensures that attribution for the text is properly provided. Thanks. Mindmatrix 13:29, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nizam al-Mulk

Hi bro, I am not contesting that Nizam al-Mulk is Persian and wrote in Farsi, although the person lived in Baghdad and wrote in Arabic too, etc. However, I changed the language to Ar instead of Fa since the name Nizam al-Mulk itself is Arabic. Cheers, Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 18:33, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@عمرو بن كلثوم: Hello and thank you for your comment. I agree, his title is Arabic and using Arabic as the language seems to be justified, but recently there has been an edit war over this, with several editors engaged, and on the other hand, there are also good reasons for the language to be Persian, so I think we better discuss it on the talk page (there is already an open discussion about this on the Nizam al-Mulk#the honorary title). Regards. -- Kouhi (talk) 19:19, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps a translation?

Hi Kouhi, how are you doing? I was wondering, could you perhaps make a brief translation of this article to the Farsi wiki -> Fazil Iskander. He died a few hours ago. He was one of the most famous Soviet/Russian writers, and probably the most well known Abkhaz writer to have ever lived. His father was Iranian, so I think having that article on the Farsi wiki as well, would be a really nice addition. :-) Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 05:41, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you very much for your comment. The article was already created in Persian Wikipedia, but its interwiki link was broken. I just fixed the interwiki link and added some more content to it. Here is the article. I'm mostly active in Persian Wikipedia, if I may be of any help, please let me know. -- Kouhi (talk) 07:33, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Kouhi, thanks alot man! Appreciate it. :-) Btw, I was wondering (I can't read/write Persian) whether you would be able to find some more paintings/drawings of some of the Safavid nobility/commanders/generals/elite/princes/princesses? The last few months alot of articles of the Safavid era have been expanded and many new ones have been created, but we're in quite a dire need of some more pictures depicting the the people in question. It kinda sucks, as alot of people are depicted on the tons of surviving Safavid paintings and figures, but many/most of them seemingly haven't been identified yet. I think more could be found if we'd search in Persian, but, unfortunately, once again, I can't do this myself. Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 02:47, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@LouisAragon: Hello. I tried to search about Safavid paintings and portraits, but unfortunately, there is little information about them in Persian language websites, but I keep searching. Is there any known website in which I can find some still-unrecognized portraits? I can ask Persian Wikipedia users (or other Persian websites) to see if the can recognize the portraits. -- Kouhi (talk) 05:53, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, I unfortunately have no clue about any of such sites. :/ Yeah, I agree, perhaps they (at the Persian wiki) could assist you more with finding the names/portraits fitting with the right person. Or in general by helping us to find alot of already identified Safavid paintings/drawings. Its easy to find dozens of portraits of the Safavid rulers themselves, but for the people directly below them (e.g. the viziers, governors, military commanders, generals, etc.), it unfortunately gets much harder. Thanks much in advance though man. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:07, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

An eye on this map

Salam Kouhi, would you mind keeping an eye on this map? Some disruptive user, by the means of edit-warring and making ad-hominem attacks, has tried on numerous occasions to revert the changes back to his unsourced revision. The matter is more thoroughly explained here by Ali Zifan. The map still requires some spelling fixes and minor tweaks (e.g. regarding the maximum extent of the ethnic Arab presence in the southern part adjacent to the Persian Gulf), but for the rest its a map based on verifiable facts and RS sources through our combined efforts. The maker of the map didn't bother about making a map that was actually sourced so it was definetely some alot work. Anyways, that's all. ;-) Thanks much in advance. Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 21:44, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi LouisAragon. I will keep my eye on that map wide open, thank you for informing me. -- Kouhi (talk) 18:51, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kouhi. It is weird that you wanted sources for Turkish translation of Seljuk dynasty and Seljuk Empire. There are "book titles" that carry those names, and it is really weird for you to remove them without searching any source or making any explaination. Anyway, as you requested, I added some reliable sources each article, so there should be no problem now. Have a nice day.--Rapsar (talk) 14:35, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Rapsar: Hello, thank you for the comment. Please note that, that parameter is "native language" and Modern Turkish with Latin alphabet wasn't their native language. And I'm sure the source you have cited does not claim "Saljuqs spoke modern Turkish and they wrote their name as Selçuklu İmparatorluğu". Their native language was Persian and Oghuz Turkish at best. So, one can add the Oghuz Turkish spelling in the infobox, but since that language is extinct and there is no surviving evidence of that language as used by Saljuqs, we first need a source for the spelling itself. So, technically, it can't be a "translation". Anyway, please don't engage yourself in an edit war. And for your information, we didn't include Modern Persian with Perso-Arabic alphabet to Parthian Empire, Sasanian Empire and others, because they didn't use Perso-Arabic alphabet. -- Kouhi (talk) 15:17, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Zoroastrian priest

Left image: The Sampul tapestry, a woolen wall hanging from Lop County, Xinjiang, China, showing a possibly Greek soldier from the Greco-Bactrian kingdom (250-125 BC), with blue eyes, wielding a spear, and wearing what appears to be a diadem headband; depicted above him is a centaur, from Greek mythology, a common motif in Hellenistic art
Right image: painted clay and alabaster head of a Zoroastrian priest wearing a distinctive Bactrian-style headdress, Takhti-Sangin, Tajikistan, 3rd-2nd century BC

I thought you'd might want to see this. I recently added it to the Sogdia article. It has to be the earliest piece of Zoroastrian-themed artwork I've ever seen, since it comes from the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom of the 3rd-2nd centuries BC. I've seen Zoroastrian-themed artwork from the Parthian Empire, but the dates for it are a bit later, after the 1st century BC. Obviously there is a ton of Zoroastrian art from the Sasanian Empire, but that's way later. Obviously the symbol of the Faravahar is all over Achaemenid artwork at places like Persepolis. However, there is no strong evidence that the Achaemenids were Zoroastrian, which was not officially embraced as a state religion until the Sassanid period. It seems as though the Achaemenids merely mixed Zoroastrian ideas with other Iranian religions and polytheistic cults of the time. Do you know of any Achaemenid or even Seleucid art pieces explicitly depicting a Zoroastrian priest, though? Pericles of AthensTalk 21:04, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, your IranicaOnline article on archaeology proved really useful for the prehistory and Achaemenid sub-sections of the article on Sogdia! Cheers. Pericles of AthensTalk 21:06, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@PericlesofAthens: Thank you very much for your informative comment and for sharing these very interesting photos. The priest is of course one of the oldest surviving Zoroastrian artwork, and also one of the best surviving sculptures from a pre-Islamic Iranian person (look what happened to the statue of Khosrow II). Thank you very much for the Sogdia article, I'm very glad Iranica was useful in improving the article. I don't know any unfailing Achaemenid evidence regarding Zoroastrianism, but from Selucid era, there are some coins from kings of Persis (the region they ruled is almost equal to Fars Province in the south of today Iran) which depict a building with sacred fire above it. Persis kings were at first vassals of Selucids, but starting from Autophradates II, they became vassals of Parthian kings. Here is the coin of Oborzos (Vabharz) who revolted against Selucids. He was the second king of Persis. The coin is from early-mid 3rd century BC. Subsequent kings also used the same symbols on their coins, this coin which blong to Bagadat (Bayadad) has better shape and it is from early 3rd century BC. According to some scholars, the building in the middle is Ka'ba-ye Zartosht, which was so important in the Sasanian era that Shapur I etched his most important inscription on it. On the roof of the building, three braziers of sacred fire could be seen. According to some scholars, the flag on the right is Derafsh Kaviani, which according the legends, first used by Kave the Blacksmith in a revolt against Zahhak. There's a hint in Shahnameh of Ferdowsi which strengthen this theory: Ferdowsi described the flag as "The star of Kave" (akhtar-e kavian), and the flag on the coin also depicts a star. The man on the right is either the king, or a priest (although it seems that the kings of Persis were priests themselves). He raised his hands as a sign of respect to the sacred building and the sacred fire. It is interesting that on some coins, Faravahar is depicted above the sacred building, an example is the coin of Vadfradad (Autophradates) (large photo). More coins are available here, including this well preserved coin of Artaxerxes I, the first king of Persis who ruled from mid to late 3rd century BC.
Awesome! Those coins show quite a bit of detail on their reverse sides. It almost looks like those fire temples have big bronze doors or something in the front. The robed priests in those depictions seem to have headgear that is similar to the Zoroastrian priest head that I've shared here. Fascinating! Thanks for your rundown of Persian art history, as well. In regards to artistic depictions of pre-Islamic Iranian people, it seems the Parthians also have some good realistic statues of pre-Islamic Iranians, such as this guy: Statue, National Museum of Iran 2401. Before stupid ISIS bulldozed Hatra and blew up parts of Palmyra there were plenty of Parthian-era sculpted heads and statues there, although thankfully many of them had been moved to various museums around the world long beforehand. For some odd reason the contemporary Roman artists had the curious and annoying habit of depicting most Parthians as wearing Phrygian caps, which was a generic stereotype for any person from the Near East and had little bearing on the clothing and ancient styles of fashion in various parts of the Middle East beyond the control of the Roman Empire. Although the Northern Dynasties, Sui, and Tang era Chinese produced tons of images of Sogdians, they also had an annoying habit of portraying them in a very formulaic pattern, with the same hat over and over again. In either case, these coins from Persis and elsewhere during the Seleucid and Parthian periods are invaluable. Thanks for sharing! I'd add them to the article but there's no more room unfortunately. I did add a Sogdian coin from Bukhara (from the 8th century!!!) showing a fire temple, albeit not nearly as realistic as these earlier coins that you've shared. Pericles of AthensTalk 11:42, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps more images of fire temples from ancient Seleucid and Parthian era coins can be added to the Wiki articles "Zoroastrianism", "Zoroaster", and "fire temple". Just a thought! Pericles of AthensTalk 11:44, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the informative comment. Very good idea, I will try to find some free photos of the coins in order to add them to the articles. All the best. -- Kouhi (talk) 02:20, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinion

Hi. [1] and [2]. And what about this source (used by him)? Even if that source is reliable, why he removes current sourced info in the lead section and adds a strange translation (شرق فارسی)?! Obviously, those changes look like pov-pushing and personal commentary. Maybe we need a related discussion on article talk page. --Wario-Man (talk) 18:14, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Eastern Persian is not a wrong term, but the source seems to be a weblog which is not suitable and also, I think it is better to not mention the term in the lead section, because it is not a widely-used and well-known term. -- Kouhi (talk) 02:26, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seljuk Empire

Hello. You are doing very big mistake. Seljuk Empire isn't only Persian. Empires are Turks and society is Persian and Turkish. If you delete Turkish names; you will do Persian nationalizm and Turkish enmity. Nationalizm and enmity are forbidden in Wikipedia.--Murat Güneş Altuntaşoğlu (talk) 19:33, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Murat Güneş Altuntaşoğlu: Please see here. And no, it is neither nationalism, nor enmity toward Turkey. It is fulfilling Wikipedia's guidelines. Again, please don't engage yourself in an edit war, discuss the matter here or on the talk page, provide a reliable source to support the claim that their native language was Modern Turkish and they wrote in Latin alphabet, then if there were no objection by other users, you can add the Turkish spelling. -- Kouhi (talk) 19:48, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This list include references of Seljuks being Turkish:

--Murat Güneş Altuntaşoğlu (talk) 18:42, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Murat Güneş Altuntaşoğlu: Seljuqs were Turkic, where in the world I said they weren't? But it has nothing to with Modern Turkish with Latin alphabet. Modern Turkish is different to Oghuz Turkic (which is an extinct language). In which of the above references it has been said that "Seljuqs spoke Modern Turkish and they used Latin alphabet and they wrote their names as Selçuklu İmparatorluğu"? -- Kouhi (talk) 18:48, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So don't add those spellings if you don't want to be banned. The next time I will report you. -- Kouhi (talk) 08:18, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Osman bey: And judging from your contributions, for your information, you seem to be Wikipedia:Sock puppetry. So be careful. -- Kouhi (talk) 08:32, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seljuk

Just say something like this has been getting to me, and I am sorry for harsh words. I would like to work with you in the future better, and you could propose how to arrange the wording for that request for comment I mentioned, on his talkpage. Make peace bro.

The Seljuk article has been getting to me, and I was emotionally invested and I apologize for my harsh words and criticism towards you that are unfounded. I would like to work with you in the future better and deal with your proposals, Osman Bey's proposals and mine at the discussion page. We can utilize the talk page to it's fullest potential. Alexis Ivanov (talk) 01:56, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, both of us were somewhat angry, I also would like to work better with you in the future. So let's make peace and shake hands. -- Kouhi (talk) 10:46, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, peace and shake hands Alexis Ivanov (talk) 12:24, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am very happy about this. We should all try to work together in harmony, and one can disagree with colleagues, and still be close friends. I myself experience this a lot! :) Irondome (talk) 13:45, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
