History template
Hi Arad,
I saw that you recently added much to the History of Iran article. Kudos for your diligence. I doubt that this will do anything to clean up the main article, alas, as there are some very vocal critics that are getting pretty nasty towards anyone that suggests anything close to WP:SIZE standards. We'll need to get WP:Rfc on this to get anywhere.
Regards,

Xerxes
The picture doesnt necessarily imply that what is being depicted actually happened.
It only reflects what the artist (an early European or American orientalist) thought of Xerxes.
Use it how you think is appropriate. We can actually use it on the Anti-Iranianism article (showing how biased they thought of Persia) perhaps. --Zereshk 00:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks
Thanks for the kind words and the barnstar. I must admit that I was getting fairly discouraged with the article. Thanks for the encouragement!

- Given the overwhelming opposition that I am hearing against trimming the history section, I am uncomfortable with unilateral action at the moment. However, I do feel that we have a preponderance of article-affiliated views... I'm going to see if I can find some neutral editors to comment. Regards, Djma12 20:49, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Salam
Please take a look at History of fundamentalist Islam in Iran. I am happy that the article attracted a few critical editors. The more people take part the less chance will be for POV. I hope people with different background edit this article. Thanks and take care.Sina Kardar 14:06, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi. We are trying to keep the article size small. If you think that article you want to add is better than something else there, it might be better at this point to bring it to the discussion area, so we can weigh in on whether it presents a better statement than something that is already there. We have spent the better part of two weeks trimming it down; we don't want it to get all bloatd again. Arcayne 04:09, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

You're misunderstood
Sa.vakilian, you're info about Britain and teen pregnancy was totally irrelevant. And that's a common problem we Iranians have. We compare our selves with other advanced countries just to prove we are advanced too. --Arad 01:15, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- I think this is a myth that they're advanced country. They just can make better technologies which result in more power and then they use their power to force their ideology. I've never wanted to compare ourselves with them to pretend we're advanced too. You may think I'm ignorant person who can't judge correctly because of dogmatism but I should say I've read their books as well as Islamic books. I've read and reviewed Lerner's book - "Passing of the traditional society"[1]- and I can send it for you. We can discuss about this issue in talk:Development.
توسعه ایدئولوژی غالب متلق به بعد از دوران جنگ جهانی دوم است. این ایدئولوژی بر خلاف آن چیزی که وانمود می کنند کاملا بر پیش فرض های غیر عینی استوار است. یعنی این که در تعریف شاخص های مختلف توسعه از شاخص های اقتصادی گرفته تا انسانی نوعی بینش فرهنگی خاص وجود دارد و هر وقت هم که این بینش دستخوش تغییر میشه نظیر آن اتفاقی که در حدود دهه 80 قرن بیستم رخ داد ما شاهد تغییر شاخص های توسعه هستیم. این حرف به این معنا هم نیست که من بگم ما همه چیزمون خوبه و بقیه باید از ما یاد بگیرند. بنابراین من ضمن نقد دیدگاه های و رفتارهای خودمون هیچ وقت نمی خواهم وانمود کنم که ما مثل غربی ها توسعه یافته یا هر چیز دیگری هستیم.

Please either justify this remark or retract it. I have not made a single personal comment anywhere in that discussion, I have merely explained why I do not believe the edits you have made are necessary. You are just as entitled to make edits or hold an opinion as anyone else, but please recognise that legitimate differences of opinion often arise in subjective discussions such as those at FPC. Expressing a different opinion does not constitute a personal attack on you or imply any ill will on my part. --YFB ¿ 04:14, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Arad, not sure where you'll see this first so I've copied it from your Commons user page. Per the Commons deletion request for this image, could you ask Mehran to re-render it image with a non-copyright/trademarked image on the glasses? It seems unnecessary to have the Stella logo there when that's treading a grey area in copyright terms and isn't strictly needed in order to illustrate the effect this render demonstrates. Thanks, --YFB ¿ 01:10, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
"We All Agreed"
Could you tell me when we all agreed to this change? I don't recall voting ending, and until it does, or a better consensus is reached, we should not go about implementing the change that we want. I know you likley mean well, but after reading the talk discussion, you have surely realized that such a change is only going to fire people up. Consensus is not built in such ways. :) Arcayne (cast a spell) 23:42, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

possible problem to check
Salam Arad, khaste naboshi ! Omid varam khub hasti.
I juste wanted you to take a look at the image uploads of user:Siamax, because there seems to be a problem with the licenses he gives. I noticed the problem on Image:TehranLatyan.jpg, Image:Latiyan6.jpg, Image:Dez dam.jpg, Image:LarDamTiny.jpg, Image:LarDamAerial.jpg. Some of those images come from wikimapia, which is copyrighted (thus uncompatible with GFDL) and some other sources, which seems to come from books or other copyrighted websites. Could you check that for me or tell an admin who works with pictures over here ? I told the problem to an admin on commons, where those pictures were uploaded by a french user. Mamnun misham.

Hi. I noticed that you removed the citation needed tag from the follwoing statement - "Some sports, such as figure skating or professional dancing, are in conflict with Islamic Sharia law and therefore not practiced by Iranian athletes."

Missing image Image:Yellowstone Castle Geysir Edit.jpg
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Yellowstone Castle Geysir Edit.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Yellowstone Castle Geysir Edit.jpg is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Yellowstone Castle Geysir Edit.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Ahwaz territory. There are question about the truthfulness of the article and whether such a territory exists.

Hello, you have supported to the promotion of the image Image:Grande Arche de La Défense et fontaine.jpg to the Featured Picture status, and I thank you for that. Currently this image has been proposed to deletion by another user under the pretext that there is no FOP in France.
I believe that the image is not a copyright infringement; the main subject is the water from the fountain, the Grand Arche is unavoidable in the background. In what the lightning of the fountain is concerned, as you mentioned in the original nomination, they are very simple and they do not have a special plan, so they cannot be copyrighted.
If you wish you can express your opinion on this issue on the deletion request page of this image, otherwise the image could disappear soon; after checking I've seen that the image is already used in around 150 pages around international wikis (usage check), I believe it would be a pity for the community to see it disappear.

Sugestion:
- I just wanted to stop by to say sorry (albeit briefly) for the comments on your recent FPC. Simply, the words I called you were not chosen to be hurtful (I think they may have been taken that way). They were chosen to be illustrative to what I felt the nomination said to people who are earnestly trying to make constructive contributions. Please don't take the words to be an attack on you personally (that is not how they were intended) but one your actions in this case. Further, if you decided that wikipedia is possibly worthwhile once again, I won't hold this against you. Best wishes. -Fcb981(talk:contribs) 22:16, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Misleading FP Nom
Hello Arad, I have been watching the argument surrounding your misleading FP Nom. As far as I am concerned that discussion is settled and should be closed. However, a note of this disruption is warranted, so I'll leave this warning template here. From my long hours of vandalism busting, this seems like the only action that should be taken for the moment:
Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Murano Glassware. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading Image:Ebi-Navid-Omid.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Stifle (talk) 12:54, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
