A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on February 11, 2005 and February 11, 2006. |
Name Confusion
I think some people might get Khomeini confused with Khamenei, the current leader of Iran. There should be a sentence in italics above this article that says "Not to be confused with Ali Khamenei" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.194.3.117 (talk) 17:47, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
Obscuring an important historic fact
Khomeini returned to Iran in an Air France plane. The current article not only (conveniently) uses a cropped version of the original picture, but the correction of this omission has been reverted. This is not a minor historic point if we recall that Lenin returned to Russia in a sealed German train...

This article is nothing other than an official propaganda
First: Khomeini's hypocrisy which has been mentioned by many sources is mostly denied or forgotten.
Second: Khomeini's direct involvement in massive massacres and human rights violations has not been explicitly described and documented.
Third: Unnecessary details causes spontaneous information about the critical facts to be lost and missed.
Fourth(and the most important one): The lead of the article says almost nothing other than what you can hear from Iran government and intentionally skips the few critiques and facts that has survived from their agents' edits.
After reviewing this article's history I have found the cause: Obviously there exists a sophisticated and organized continuous attempt, participated by a few contributors to freeze the article in this state. Someone should do something about this phenomenon. This is a shame for WP to include such a page in it. IRVoice (talk) 10:14, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
Ayatollah Khomeini, who is that?
When Ayatollah Khomeini is first mentioned in the article (in the third paragraph of the lead), those don't knowing who that is might wonder if he is related to Ruhollah Khomeini. And when a Khomeini is mentioned in the subsequent text, they might wonder if it refers to Ruhollah Khomeini or Ayatollah Khomeini.
It isn't until the fifth paragraph we are told that Grand Ayatollah is a title and that Ruhollah Khomeini is generally referred to as Ayatollah Khomeini except by his followers and inside Iran.
How Khomeini is most commonly referred to in English is basic information which should be given as early as possible in the article. If it can't be accommodated in the first or second sentence, I think it should be mentioned no later than the beginning of the second paragraph (presuming the first paragraph isn't too long). In any case, if the title Ayatollah isn't introduced together with the name, it needs to be introduced before it is used to refer to Khomeini. --83.255.55.91 (talk) 16:31, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
- The title Ayatollah was added before the name as the first word of the article. I hope this solves the problem. --83.255.55.91 (talk) 07:53, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
Intro comporession
Shall we make the introduction shorter?--88.111.129.157 (talk) 19:39, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
