Dear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:HistoryofIran
Please check all these important sources and I don't undrestand why you want to make changes based on your way!?

Dear admins,
It is patently false to call Mr Yusuf "British-Iranian" as he does not hold Iranian citizenship/dual nationality and, for the purpose of clarification he is ethnically Azeri (not Iranian). He only holds British Citizenship. Here is the link confirming this in a 2018 Q&A session with Mr Yusuf: https://twitter.com/samiyusuf/status/960207745126453248
The following link has been sourced for this false claim surrounding his name: http://www.bbc.com/persian/arts/2015/07/150729_music_sami_yusof_iran_reaction
As it is a language I do not understand I had to get it translated. It is now clear that this article is 100% false. It has apparently been around for 4 years and has only come to our attention now through Wikipedia. We have already started to contact the BBC to get this article removed and will take all necessary actions as this is defamatory.
I would like to make it absolutely clear that Mr Yusuf only has one name, that is ’Sami Yusuf’. I am astonished that Wikipedia would take a very dubious source so seriously. We can send you Mr Yusuf’s passport copy in case the following link is not sufficient: https://twitter.com/samiyusuf/status/960210578043293696
I hope this precedes some random rumors - it would be quite tragic for Wikipedia’s credibility if it was otherwise. Logically, one would assume such claims would need to be backed with hard evidence (such as actual credible documents) and not just a tabloid-style article?
Best regards,
Madi

As discussed above this is FAKE news and in a languages we don't undrestand and we can not use this as source.

PLEAE CHECK THIS (URGENT)

Entire of this section is WRONG and misleading information. I surprised why you approve them! Check the sources, nothing about these lines mentioned there. Please address this at least.
Sami Yusuf was born as Siamak Berenjan (سیامک برنجان) on 1980 in Tehran to Azerbaijani parents. His father is Firouz Berenjan, better known by his stage name Babak Radmanesh, an Iranian composer.[19][20][21] His grandparents are from Baku, Azerbaijan. His grandparents left Baku when it was recaptured by the Bolsheviks after the First World War.[22] Mjahangir777 (talk) 17:08, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
- The only currently un-sourced material was his birthname and his father, which is given in the BBC article above. His father's real name is then given here. – Þjarkur (talk) 01:53, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
