Hi. The Language section seems like a clash between linguists/historians and geneticists. It could have unreliable citations too. In my opinion, the whole article needs review and source verification. --Mann Mann (talk) 13:32, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Mann Mann. Thanks for informing me, I think I have a pretty good idea who made it like this despite the consensus in scholarship. If I’m right, I think it’s about high time I take it to ANI. I’ll check later when I am home. HistoryofIran (talk) 13:39, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

They were added by this user. Click the link to see all of his edits on the article. When I saw his edits in 2019 (examples [1][2]), I thought he was just another account of Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Tirgil34. I submitted a SPI case in 2020 (please read it carefully). Anyway, it is better to review and verify his edits on the articles you watch. BTW, another thing that I read yesterday was some kind of cherry picking on Turkic peoples. It says: "Medieval European chroniclers subsumed various Turkic peoples of the Eurasian steppe under the "umbrella-identity" of the "Scythians". Between 400 CE and the 16th century, Byzantine sources use the name Σκύθαι (Skuthai) in reference to twelve different Turkic peoples." However, there are clarifications about it on Scythians which I think it should be added to Turkic peoples too: "In Late Antiquity itself, as well as in and the Middle Ages, the name "Scythians" was used in Greco-Roman and Byzantine literature for various groups of nomadic "barbarians" living on the Pontic-Caspian Steppe who were not related to the actual Scythians, such as the Huns, Goths, Ostrogoths, Gokturks, Pannonian Avars, Slavs, and Khazars.[14][18] For example, Byzantine sources referred to the Rus' raiders who attacked Constantinople in 860 AD in contemporary accounts as "Tauroscythians" because of their geographical origin, and despite their lack of any ethnic relation to Scythians." AND "Fascinated by this imagery, these ethnographers drew on it to claim populations who were completely unrelated to the Scythians, such as the Irish, Tatars, Mongols, Turks, and Indigenous peoples of the Americas, as being alleged descendants of the Scythians." Another thing I have noticed, this addition of "Eastern Iranic/Iranian" to some Central Asian and steppe related articles. One example was on Sogdia added by a sockpuppet.[3] Two other examples are Massagetae and Sarmatians. There may be more articles like that. Isn't Eastern Iranian just a language classification? In my opinion, It seems unsourced and original research as a meta-ethnicity term. --Mann Mann (talk) 08:56, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Thought it was another user. Thanks, fixed the Scythian bit too. Yeah if I'm not mistaken generally Eastern Iranian and Western Iranian is used for the language group, not the people, who are just referred to as "Iranian". I'll look into that too. HistoryofIran (talk) 12:52, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Talyshis

Hello, colleague. I am going to significantly edit Talysh people article in the near future (today I added a section on Forced assimilation in the Azerbaijan SSR, which I will also continue to edit and put in order).

I see that you wrote extensively about the history of the Talysh in the article. But, colleague, I think that the sections “In Safavid Iran”, “In Afsharid and Zand Iran” and “In Qajar Iran” are too long for the average reader and give him too little information about the Talyshis themselves. I would like to ask you to consider the possibility of shortening them by transferring some of the information to the articles Talish (region)/Safavid Talish/Talysh Khanate.

Also, I believe that the section describing the history of the Talyshis during the Talysh Khanate should be named after the Talysh Khanate (even though it was actually part of Iran de jure).

With respect, colleague. Smpad (talk) 23:03, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello. Its a bit hard to avoid mentioning other entities too much, as the history of the Talysh people is basically confined to the Talish region, with the Talysh not being mentioned that much directly. Articles about ethnic groups are also usually this size and longer. As for having a section named “Talysh Khanate”, Ill take a look at it. Are there any particular sources not used in the articles you’re thinking of that can improve the history section? If so, which ones? HistoryofIran (talk) 23:19, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

I am planning to supplement the article with “Introduction to the history and culture of the Talysh people” by Asatrian & others and with The Evolution of Talysh Ethnic Identity: From Soviet Manipulation to Contemporary Reality by Petr Kokaisl (Petr Kokaisl, from Kyrgyz Wikipedia), if Kokaisl's work will be approved by the Russian wiki's version of Reliable sources/Noticeboard as a RS.

Also, I would like to express to you my concern regarding the sources from the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (organization with direct subordination to the Azerbaijani regime, which is still carrying out the forced assimilation of the Talysh), which has an interest in Turkicizing and de-Talyshizing and de-Iranizing the history of the Talish in general. Thus, the article Talysh Khanate is teeming with the works of a certain Irada Mammadova, who even calls it only “Lankaran Khanate” (the adjective “Talysh” is highly undesirable for Azerbaijani authors for obvious reasons). Can anything be done about this?

With respect, colleague. Smpad (talk) 00:15, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but Kokaisli seems like a poor source. The source is published by Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, which focuses on agricultural education and research, which is irrelevant about the history of a people. Rules of other Wikis don't matter here, otherwise we would be using revisionist Aliyev/Soviet-sponsored Azerbaijani sources too (which I'm pretty sure have seen being used in the Russian Wiki). Searching Kokaisli's through the internet, he seems to be a minor scholar a best, and who doesn't even specialize in the Talysh. What are the other sources you're thinking of? And I agree, Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences shouldn't be used, I added some info about its revisionism in its article, and will add more in the future. HistoryofIran (talk) 00:25, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Also, your addition at "Forced assimilation in Azerbaijan SSR" is appreciated, but it's overkill and repeats some of the info mentioned at the Demographics section. It should be much shorter and concise so there is a balance; as we know, the history of the Talysh is more than just being assimilation targets in the Azerbaijan SSR. HistoryofIran (talk) 00:27, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your quick evaluation of the Kokaisl source. Unfortunately, I didn’t find any more interesting new publications on the Talyshis. Regarding forced assimilation. I'll try to shorten the section. But still, the forced assimilation is the central event in the history of the Talysh in the Soviet Union. This stands out brightly from other cases of forced assimilation in the USSR and was an immediate prelude to the creation of the short-lived Talysh-Mugan Autonomous Republic. It is also important to note the production of assimilation narratives of Soviet ethnography. I will continue to quote Goff for Soviet history and the period of the Talysh-Mugan Autonomous Republic. With respect, colleague. Smpad (talk) 00:51, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, and I get that, but that's also what we have Talysh assimilation for. The "Forced assimilation in Azerbaijan SSR" section is currently the largest one by far, more or less as big as the Safavid, Afsharid and Zand sections (all which span almost three centuries) combined, which is too much. HistoryofIran (talk) 02:27, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, colleague. I have a question. Users in Ukrainian Wikipedia don't understand why I consider the source named "Cultural terrorism. Table of toponyms for the de-Azerbaijaniization of the territory of the Republic of Armenia. From the brochure “Acts of Armenian Cultural Terror”, published in 1997 in Ankara with the support and participation of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary M. Novruzov." an unreliable source.

They ask me to provide evidence that there is a consensus in the English Wikipedia to remove from articles sources affiliated with Azerbaijan and Turkey on Armenian topics. Please, could you say where I can find such a resolution?

With respect, Smpad (talk) 01:03, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi. There isn't any consensus per se in the English Wikipedia (there is rarely a specific consensus on a certain topic). You just need to show WP:RS that support your arguments, same as you would do in any other Wikipedia. HistoryofIran (talk) 01:30, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Who is this guy

I wonder who is this. The editing and writing style is too POV and amateurish. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:12, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

@Fylindfotberserk: Yup, there's deffo something fishy going on. A lot of "new" users have emerged these past months with the exact same POVish writing style and editing. I even made some SPIs [4] [5] HistoryofIran (talk) 14:01, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

I suspected the same, so I opened up an SPI today, but deleted it after finding an existing case [6]. The pages they created are full of POV, blunt writing and possible SYNTH. I've come across two while checking the recent edits at Gupta Empire, in these two articles, they were treating the empire as 'Indian', but at the same time sent a vibe that Bengal wasn't part of it. There is also proven by the category 'Invasions by India' or something like that used in those articles as well in other articles dealing with regions of Indian subcontinent/South Asia, including Afghanistan. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:12, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Yup, I fail to see how they're a networth to this site. HistoryofIran (talk) 17:52, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

@Fylindfotberserk: Oh well, I've had enough of them, should have reported them long ago but was lazy, I'll make the ANI report now. If you have any diffs of their problematic edits, that would be appreciated. HistoryofIran (talk) 14:19, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Emerging issues involving brand new Indian editors on articles about wars.

Hello @HistoryofIran, Recently, a second phase of War Articles has been initiated by our new Indian users. Could you please take a look at them, specifically including topics such as the Shunga-Greek War, Gupta conquests of Bengal, and Mauryan Khotan Colonization.

The most notable issue I've encountered, which is not a brand new article, is an ongoing edit war with an Indian user. It revolves around the conflict between the Iranic Scythians, also known as Sakas, and the Satavahanas, in which the Sakas/Scythians emerged victorious. However, the Indian user keeps reverting my edits repeatedly. The article in question is titled "Saka-Satavahana Wars." DeepstoneV (talk) 09:32, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello. Sorry, but that's a lot of topics and issues. I might take a look, can't promise anything though. Worst case scenario, I would recommend using WP:ANI. HistoryofIran (talk) 14:08, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, examine the editing methods of User:Aryan330, User:Melechha, and Johanrojjashi. There is a commonality among them, and it's evident that Johanrojjashi is not a newcomer. I am limiting the comment as anything we say nowadays are getting distorted, even the old comments. Imperial^[AFCND] 18:55, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Can you please show some diffs that demonstrate that? And no need to limit yourself, don't let them get to you - let them try to distort it, they're just shooting themselves in the foot, as everyone can see the diffs for themselves. Anyways, I have a pretty good smoking gun for the afromentioned meatpuppetry activities, so everything should be good soon, just need an admin to see it. HistoryofIran (talk) 19:31, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

1. Melechha created a wikitable in "Ahom-Mughal conflicts,"[7] and Jonharojjashi promptly modified it[8] .
2. Aryan and Melechha (Editor Pandit is his socked acc) engaged in edit warring for improving a wikitable in "Maratha–Portuguese War (1683–1684),[9]" with Jonharojjashi making the similar edits shortly after in favour of them [10] [11].
3. Similar occurrences were observed in "Luso–Maratha War (1729–1732)," where Melechha created a wikitable[12], and Jonharojjashi either restored or modified it[13]. Additionally, when Melechha moved the page to a different title[14], Jonharojjashi followed suit[15]. Notably, this marked Jonharojjashi's third edit on the article.
4. The pattern repeated in the "Dogra–Tibetan War," with Melechha creating a wikitable[16] and Jonharojjashi subsequently editing it. This marked as the fourth article Jonharojjashi edited.[17].
5. Daayush (a confirmed sock), Jonharojjashi, and an IP user collaborated on editing "Kanishka" for a common purpose.[18] [19]
6. Jonharojjashi and Msangharak (a sock of Melechha) collaborated on editing "Kanishka's war with Parthia." [20].
7. Indo12122 (a confirmed sock user) and Jonharojjashi engaged in reverting each other's edits on "Muslim conquests in the Indian subcontinent."
I noticed several other accounts during the revision checks, some of which were added in earlier SPI checks. But, I didn't include them as they are not significant leads. Imperial^[AFCND] 04:50, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Why you deleted my article?

Dear HistoryofIran,

Why you deleted my article from the list of sources to the article related Adurbadagan? You wrote that I am not historian! Who told you this boolshit? Are you historian specializing in the Sasanian period?

A I am Phd and I am historian! I am author of many articles related to the Sasanian period of Iran publicated in US, UK, Poland and India, Canada, Israel. My article "Adurbadagan and Arran in the Late Sasanian Period" was publicated in the International Journal of History in 2023.

Sir, I don want to write a lot to you because you can check my identity and who I am in linkedin just typing my name Mahir Khalifa-zadeh. I am Professor and PhD!

Sorry, but Wikipedia is based on WP:RS. For historical stuff, we base it on academic historians. And "International Journal of History" publisher looks like predatory publishing, just like this journal added by an account which I assume is also yours? [21]. Moreover, you also changed info in the infobox which was supported by the sources in the body of the article, and even sourced information. HistoryofIran (talk) 00:52, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

what is predatory publishing? This and other journals are dedicated to History and are in the list of Cambridge University! This Journal has high citating score! So pls add my article into list of additional reading/sources

I dont know what are you talking about. Predatrory or not predatrory. Article is publicated and pass 3 blind check of prfessionals in the Sasanian period of Iran. So i ll include my article into the list of the additional readings/sources (not primary!) and pls do not delete. Thank you in advance. Mahir6219 (talk) 00:00, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Not how it works, see WP:SCHOLARSHIP. Again, if you're so confident that you will be considered reliable, take it to WP:RSN. HistoryofIran (talk) 00:14, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

I checked reliability of the "International Journal of History" via link that you provided. So did not found any declines in its reliability. The Journal has hight citation rate.

Mihranids and Mihran

Dear HistoryofIran,

You are wrong deleting my updates in "Caucasian Albania" article related to Mihranids/Mihran because you are not historian. I know my profession very well and you can be sure I not making historical mistakes!!!

For your knowledge - Mihranids is a Russian/Soviet school termin, however Mihran is original Persian and more correctly Pahlav name of the Mihran House. Mohran House was wuzurg - Great Pahlav of Eranshahr. Even you wiki mentions Seven Great Houses of Iran which were Pahlav (Parthian) origin.

Next, you are wrong that the "Caucasian Albania" termin is more natural. The original Iranian name of the region was: Parthian - Ardan, Pahlav - Arran! However, Alvan is Greek name and Albania is Latin.

With best wishes

Prof Mahir Khalifa-zadeh Mahir6219 (talk) 01:04, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

I did not revert because "I'm not a historian". In Wikipedia we follow WP:RS (by citing it) and WP:COMMON NAME. Not what you think is right or not. Repeatedly stating that you're a historian does not make your edits any less wrong. HistoryofIran (talk) 02:20, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

No, your comment is: not historian! pls check again!

Regards, Mahir6219 (talk) 17:28, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

First, I am just replied to your comment that "not historian" and your comment damaged my reputation! Who are you to write this kind boolshit!

Who gave you right to conclude who I am, historian, biologist or medical officer? Did you check my background? No! I told you check me first in linkedin who I am!

Second, I added my article into the list of additional sources and if you are expert on Iranian history must read it. However you are not expert or historian related to the late Sasanian period. So pls fix your voluntary mistake and add me or I will write add my comment that you are not professional!

Regards,

Prof Mahir Khalifa-zadeh Mahir6219 (talk) 17:35, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

This conduct is not a good look for you. I'm not going to repeat myself. If you're so confident about this, please take it to WP:RSN. HistoryofIran (talk) 17:42, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Afsharids and Safavids are Turkic or Persian?

On the "Battle of Karnal" page, I see that you wrote "Persian Victory" instead of "Afsharid Victory" and that you said that the Afsharids were an Iranian state. So is it really what you think? Let's take a look.

Safavids. The native language of Ismail I, the founder of the Safavid state, was Azerbaijani Turkic. He wrote poems in this language under the nickname "Hatai". In fact, the official language of the state was Azerbaijani Turkic, and the people of the palace, as well as the military and religious men of the state, spoke this language.

There is also interesting information about the place of Azerbaijani Turkic in the Safavid palace in the memoirs of the German traveler and diplomat Adam Oleari, who met with the Safavid ruler Shah Sefi I in Isfahan in 1637. A.Oleari in his work “Detailed description of the visit of the Qoldshin embassy to Moscow and Persia” writes: “Especially, those in the service of the shah in Isfahan speak Turkic with greater enthusiasm, you rarely hear Persian words from them.”''

The French traveler Jean Sharden, who traveled to the East in the second half of the 17th century and lived in the Safavid lands as well as in Isfahan for a long time, wrote in his memoirs: “Persian language is the language of poetry and literature of the people. Palace magnates, soldiers, influential men and wives of rich people all speak Turkic (Azerbaijani) at home. Because the sultan and the members of the dynasty are from Azerbaijan, where the entire population speaks Turkic. The Arabic language is considered respectable because it is the religious language of the community."

Afsharids. Afsharid Empire (Azerbaijani: Əfşar İmperiyası) was a Turkmen state founded after the collapse of the Safavid empire. The founder of the state is Nadir Shah Afshar, a Khorasan Turk.

Please do not associate Safavids and Afshars with Iranian history. They are of Turkic (Azerbaijani) origin. AzerbaijaniQizilbash (talk) 17:49, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

(Talk page enjoyer)

1. Generally, people may get irritable if one uses too many exclamation points or all-caps on Wikipedia. You certainly don't need to have big, bold, underlined text to make your points, we are are literate enough on here.
2. I recommend starting to cite specific reliable sources if you want to have this sort of discussion.
3. You should be having this content discussion on Talk:History of Iran or whichever specific page you want to discuss, it's considered bad form to try and have unilateral content disputes on another user's talk page.

Remsense诉 18:04, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

1. This has nothing to do with the topic

2. This source is reliable because it has been archived by historians who lived in those periods. (A.Oleari and J.Sharden)

3. As you said, I am already doing this discussion in "User Talk: History of Iran". AzerbaijaniQizilbash (talk) 12:10, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

@AzerbaijaniQizilbash Dont have time to respond right now, but most of what I'm going to say has already been said in your talk page - please check that. Also, I'm not sure who or what you're citing - As Remsense said, Wikipedia is based on WP:RS. Moreover, you've violated WP:3RR. HistoryofIran (talk) 18:28, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

I would be happy if you respond when you have time. AzerbaijaniQizilbash (talk) 12:10, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Then please read what I am writing this time, I am going to repeat some stuff which was ignored. Wikipedia is based on WP:RS which are properly cited (WP:CITE). Again, no one is denying that the Afsharids are of Turkic (not Azeri, didn't exist back then) ancestry, but it's irrelevant here. A good example is that Napoleon is called a French general/emperor, not "Italian" general/emperor.

Azerbaijani was not an ethnonym back then, let alone a nation, so please stop adding it and its 20th-century Latin transliteration to random articles

"Russian sources cited in this study refer to the Turkish-speaking Muslims (Shi’a and Sunni) as “Tatars” or, when coupled with the Kurds (except the Yezidis), as “Muslims.” The vast majority of the Muslim population of the province was Shi’a. Unlike the Armenians and Georgians, the Tatars did not have their own alphabet and used the Arabo-Persian script. After 1918, and especially during the Soviet era, this group identified itself as Azerbaijani." -- Bournoutian, George (2018). Armenia and Imperial Decline: The Yerevan Province, 1900-1914. Routledge. p. 35 (note 25). "The third major nation in South Caucasia,19 the Azerbaijanis, hardly existed as an ethnic group, let alone a nation, before the twentieth century. The inhabitants of the territory now occupied by Azerbaijan defined themselves as Muslims, members of the Muslim umma; or as Turks, members of a language group spread over a vast area of Central Asia; or as Persians (the founder of Azerbaijani literature, Mirza Fath’ Ali Akhundzadä, described himself as ‘almost Persian’). ‘Azerbaijani identity remained fluid and hybrid’ comments R. G. Suny (1999–2000: 160). As late as 1900, the Azerbaijanis remained divided into six tribal groups – the Airumy, Karapapakh, Pavlari, Shakhsereny, Karadagtsy and Afshavy. The key period of the formation of the Azerbaijani nation lies between the 1905 revolution and the establishment of the independent People’s Republic of Azerbaijan in 1918 (Altstadt, 1992: 95)." -- Ben Fowkes (2002). Ethnicity and Conflict in the Post-Communist World. Palgrave Macmillan. p. 14 "As hinted earlier, the history of Azerbaijan and of the growth of an Azerbaijani ethnie is more problematic than the other two cases. The lack of a clear way of differentiating between the various Turkic languages spoken and written in medieval and early modern times is one of the difficulties. Another is the absence until the twentieth century of an Azerbaijani state." -- idem, p. 35 "In the case of the third major ethnic group of South Caucasus, the Azerbaijanis, the path towards nationhood was strewn with obstacles. First, there was uncertainty about Azerbaijani ethnic identity, which was a result of the influence of Azerbaijan’s many and varied pre-Russian conquerors, starting with the Arabs in the mid-seventh century and continuing with the Saljuq Turks, the Mongols, the Ottoman Turks and the Iranians. Hence the relatively small local intelligentsia wavered between Iranian, Ottoman, Islamic, and pan-Turkic orientations. Only a minority supported a specifically Azerbaijani identity, as advocated most prominently by Färidun bäy Köchärli." -- idem, p. 68 "Azerbaijani national identity emerged in post-Persian Russian-ruled East Caucasia at the end of the nineteenth century, and was finally forged during the early Soviet period." -- Gasimov, Zaur (2022).

After a century of Russian colonial rule, the emergent Azerbaijani nation established its first nation-state. Not only was it a new state but also it was a new nation. Because they previously had lacked a distinct national identity, the Azerbaijani Turks had been called “Caucasian Muslims” or “Tatars,” a common term used for the subject Muslim population in the Tsarist Russian empire (Мишиjeв, 1987, p. 159).

Lexington Books. p. 29 "In the pre-national era, both north and the south of the Aras River (Shervan, Mughan, Qarabagh, and Azerbaijan) were provinces, akin to Lorestan or Khorasan of an all-Iranian imperial structure. Following the Russian conquest of the Turkic-speaking regions in the South Caucasus in the nineteenth century, a thin layer of intelligentsia emerged in Baku and began discussing the characteristics of a distinct Azerbaijani identity. The Republic of Azerbaijan was established in May 1918 by the same elite. This short experience was abruptly halted when the Red Army occupied Transcaucasia in 1920/21. Subsequently, the Bolsheviks launched their modern, state-driven nation building projects in Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia. Contemporary Azerbaijanis are Turkic-speakers and their national history could be centered on a Turkic ethno-linguistic identity. Nevertheless, for reasons discussed elsewhere, the Bolsheviks did not prefer this solution. The Azerbaijani national identity and historical narrative constructed after 1937 stressed the indigenous nature of the Azerbaijani people and was based on a territorial definition. The territorial approach found support at the highest level—from Joseph Stalin himself." -- Yilmaz, H. (2015). A Family Quarrel: Azerbaijani Historians against Soviet Iranologists.

Prior to the late 19th century and early 20th century, the term “Azerbaijani” and “Azerbaijani Turk” had never been used as an ethnonym. Such ethnonyms did not exist. During the 19th century and early 20th century, Russian sources primarily referred to the Turcophone Muslim population as “Tatars” which was a general term that included a variety of Turkish speaker. Under the Mussavatist government, in 1918 and during the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan, the term “Azeri people” referred to all inhabitants while the Turkish-speaking portion was called “Azeri Turk”. Thus the concept of an Azeri identity barely appears at all before 1920 and Azerbaijan before this era had been a simple geographical area." -- pp. 16-17, Lornejad, Siavash; Doostzadeh, Ali (2012).

Hardly unique in the history of the Soviet or other states, the Azerbaijani case demonstrates the logic of Stalinist national-state construction, whereby the formation of a Soviet republic named Azerbaijan required the existence of an Azerbaijani nation to inhabit it." p. 229, Monuments and Identities in the Caucasus Karabagh, Nakhichevan and Azerbaijan in Contemporary Geopolitical Conflict, Brill "The South Caucasian Muslims lacked clear cultural or religious boundaries as late as the nineteenth century. Divided into Shiʿa and Sunni populations, with a vernacular language close to Turkish and a literary language still dominated by Persian and then Ottoman Turkish, with no prior experience of statehood and no overall delimitation of the historical homeland, they had to define a separate identity. That construction essentially took place under Soviet rule and on the basis of a Soviet political agenda, even though its Pan-Turkist agenda predates that period and appears to have been influenced by some of the Ottoman leaders, in particular Enver Pasha and his younger half-brother, Nuri Pasha. The latter was in fact in Elisavetpol (Gandja) just before the proclamation of independence and subsequently formed the Islamic Army of the Caucasus which captured Baku in mid-September 1918. In a way, imperialism built the nation, its historiography, and its identity. Earlier processes also contributed to these developments: the tsarist territorial subdivisions of Transcaucasia in the 19th century, the growth of Baku, Armenian-Azeri economic antagonisms, and the Armenian-Tatar War" idem, pp. 232-233

Azerbaijan was not a name in the Caucasus at that time either.

"Let us conclude with an important point. The pre-1918 maps indicate various names of regions or states north of the river Araxes, such as “Albania” or “Arran”. No map knows of “Azerbaijan” north of the Araxes. This name was applied for centuries to the northern province of Iran, originally called Atropatene, around Tabriz, i.e. south of the Araxes. The Encyclopaedia of Islam published in 1913 leaves no room for doubt: “Nowadays, under ‘Adharbaydjan’ is understood the north-western province of Persia”. The name “Azerbaijan”, which the present-day republic adopted in 1918, is, therefore, a result of later socio-political developments.In the 1930s, this name was adopted by the Soviet authorities: it suited Stalin who considered expansion to Iran" - p. 42, Monuments and Identities in the Caucasus Karabagh, Nakhichevan and Azerbaijan in Contemporary Geopolitical Conflict, Brill "The name Azarbaijan is a pre-Islamic Persian name for a pre-Islamic province south of the River Aras. “Azarbaijan” was not used in any definite or clear manner for the area north of the River Aras in the pre- modern period. In some instances, the name Azarbaijan was used in a manner that included the Aran region immediately to the north of the River Aras, but this was rather an exception. The adoption of this name for the area north of the River Aras was by the nationalist, Baku-based Mosavat government (1918–20) and was later retained by the Soviet Union." p. 16 - Behrooz, Maziar (2023). Iran at War: Interactions with the Modern World and the Struggle with Imperial Russia. I.B. Tauris "In fact, in medieval times the name ‘Azerbaijan’ was applied not to the area of present independent Azerbaijan but to the lands to the south of the Araxes river, now part of Iran. The lands to the north west of the Araxes were known as Albania; the lands to the north east, the heart of present-day post-Soviet Azerbaijan, were known as Sharvan (or Shirwan) and Derbend." p. 30, Fowkes, B. (2002). Ethnicity and Ethnic Conflict in the Post-Communist World. Springer. "The adoption of the name “Azerbaijan” in 1918 by the Mussavatist government for classical Caucasian Albania (Arrān and Sharvān) was due to political reasons28. For example, the giant orientalist of the early 20th century, Vasily Barthold has stated: “… whenever it is necessary to choose a name that will encompass all regions of the republic of Azerbaijan, the name Arrān can be chosen. But the term Azerbaijan was chosen because when the Azerbaijan republic was created, it was assumed that this and the Persian Azerbaijan will be one entity, because the population of both has a big similarity. On this basis, the word Azerbaijan was chosen. Of course right now when the word Azerbaijan is used, it has two meanings as Persian Azerbaijan and as a republic, it’s confusing and a question rises as to which Azerbaijan is being talked about”. In the post-Islamic sense, Arrān and Sharvān are often distinguished while in the pre-Islamic era, Arrān or the Western Caucasian Albania roughly corresponds to the modern territory of republic of Azerbaijan. In the Soviet era, in a breathtaking manipulation, historical Azerbaijan (NW Iran) was reinterpreted as “South Azerbaijan” in order for the Soviets to lay territorial claim on historical Azerbaijan proper which is located in modern Northwestern Iran". p. 10, Lornejad, Siavash; Doostzadeh, Ali (2012).

"The case of Azerbaijan is interesting in several aspects. The geographical name “Azerbaijan” for the territory where the Republic of Azerbaijan is now situated, as well as the ethnic name for the Caucasian Turks, “Azerbaijani,” were coined in the beginning of the 10th century. The name Azerbaijan, which implies the lands located north of the Aras River, is a duplicate of the historical region of Azerbaijan (it is the arabized version of the name of a historical region of Atropatena) which is the north-western region of Iran.

Ok, I understand, but Azeris are also Turkic. When you talk about Azeris, you portray them as a different nation, separate from the Turks.

Not per WP:RS.

The first state founded by Azerbaijani Turks in history is Eldiguzids (Atabegs of Azerbaijan. It is obvious from its name.)

The Eldiguzids were Kipchaks (literally mentioned with a source in the article), not Azeris. And your point? There were also atabegs (which is basically another word for "governor" in this context) other places; Atabegs of Yazd, Atabegs of Fars and Atabegs of Maragha. "Azerbaijan" is obviously referring to the afromentioned Azerbaijan region/province in northern Iran per the second explanatory note. This call also be seen in their Iranica article [22], where "Arran" (the historical name of the present-day Azerbaijan country in the Caucasus) is used alongside Azerbaijan (the historical region/province in northern Iran).

"But I have to say that there were Azerbaijani Turks at that time too. - Not per WP:RS."

"The Eldiguzids were Kipchaks"

Encyclopaedia Iranica: The Eldiguzids entry in the Encyclopaedia Iranica mentions their Turkic ethnicity and provides an overview of their history and rule. While it may not specifically mention the Oghuz Turks, it acknowledges their Turkic origins. [Source: Encyclopaedia Iranica - Eldiguzids]

Academic Works: Numerous academic works on medieval history, particularly those focusing on the Turkic peoples and the history of Azerbaijan and Iran, discuss the Eldiguzids as a Turkic dynasty. These works often analyze linguistic, cultural, and historical evidence to establish their Turkic identity.

Primary Historical Accounts: While primary historical sources from the time of the Eldiguzids may be scarce, various secondary sources and later historical accounts mention their Turkic origins. These include chronicles, travelogues, and biographies from the medieval period and later.

Turkic Cultural Influence: The cultural and linguistic influence of the Turkic peoples in the regions where the Eldiguzids ruled is well-documented. Place names, personal names, and other cultural elements reflect Turkic linguistic and cultural influence in these areas. AzerbaijaniQizilbash (talk) 11:23, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes, but that doesn't mean a source mentions Turks = that they are Azeris, which you seem to be implying

I am trying to prove that they are Azerbaijani turks.

The Eldiguzids were founded by Turkic tribes, specifically the Oghuz Turks. The Oghuz Turks were a significant Turkic ethnic group that played a pivotal role in the history of Central Asia and the Middle East. While the concept of Azerbaijani identity as it exists today did not fully develop during the time of the Eldiguzids, the region they ruled over included territories that are now part of Azerbaijan, and their Turkic origins align with the ethnic makeup of modern Azerbaijan. Therefore, it's accurate to say that the Eldiguzids were founded by Turkic peoples who were predecessors to what we now recognize as Azerbaijani Turks. (Source is ChatGPT. If you don't believe it, ask ChatGPT "Were the Eldiguzids founded by Azerbaijani Turks?")

Azerbaijani Turks existed at that time, but their name was not "Azerbaijani Turks". AzerbaijaniQizilbash (talk) 13:46, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Eldiguzids are called Atabegs of Azerbaijan. You say with your own words that it was founded by Kipchak Turks. Even though Persians have nothing to do with it, you write your Persian name there, but for example, you do not find it appropriate to write Kipchak Turkic or Azerbaijani Turkic there.

1. Medieval Turkic Invasions: Turkic tribes began migrating into the Caucasus region during the medieval period. These migrations were often motivated by political instability, economic opportunities, or pressures from other nomadic groups. These Turkic tribes gradually settled in the region, contributing to the ethnolinguistic diversity of the Caucasus.

2. Seljuk Empire: The Seljuk Empire, a Turkic Sunni Muslim empire, expanded into the Caucasus during the 11th and 12th centuries. As the Seljuks expanded their territories, they brought Turkic populations into the region and exerted significant cultural and political influence.

3. Mongol Invasions: The Mongol invasions of the 13th century led to further population movements in the Caucasus. Turkic tribes migrated westward to escape Mongol rule, settling in various parts of the Caucasus, including what is now Azerbaijan.

4. Ottoman Influence: During the height of the Ottoman Empire, there were interactions between Ottoman Turks and various peoples in the Caucasus, including Azerbaijani Turks. While direct migration from Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) to the Caucasus may not have been as significant as other historical events, cultural exchanges and diplomatic relations between the Ottomans and various Caucasian peoples, including Azerbaijanis, occurred.

I did say I wasn't going to answer further.. but omg. You have not listened even the slightest bit of what you've been told, and I'm not going to repeat what again. Please don't write in this talk section any further. HistoryofIran (talk) 18:46, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

You asked me for a reliable source. So I gave it away. Moreover, you say that you will not reply any further, but this message of yours is already an answer. AzerbaijaniQizilbash (talk) 18:53, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

No you did not. You've been told of WP:RS and WP:CITE multiple times by now, yet you still do this. And yes, my message was already an answer, I literally stated that... HistoryofIran (talk) 18:55, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

I don't need to give sources for you to understand that the Mongols, Seljuks or Ottomans occupied the Azerbaijan region in history and Turks migrated to this region. A person who knows history well enough already knows these. AzerbaijaniQizilbash (talk) 19:00, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Eldiguzids are called Atabegs of Azerbaijan. You say with your own words that it was founded by Kipchak Turks. Even though Persians have nothing to do with it, you write Persian name of Eldiguzids there, but for example, you do not find it appropriate to write Kipchak Turkic or Azerbaijani Turkic there. AzerbaijaniQizilbash (talk) 17:45, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

What has Persian to do with this conversation? And I didn't add it to the article as far as I recall. I've no problem with removing it, since the Eldiguzids article currently doesn't state that the language had any administrative importance under the Eldiguzids (though it's probably not hard to find a source that states that. I have one in mind, just too lazy to add it).

Eldiguzids are called Atabegs of Azerbaijan.

Yes they are, and we've already been through this. HistoryofIran (talk) 17:48, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

ok. AzerbaijaniQizilbash (talk) 17:53, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

One final shot. @AzerbaijaniQizilbash, they did not just make those statements, those are collapse boxes where they have listed many sources for each claim once you click to expand them. Remsense诉 13:56, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Unfortunately AzerbaijaniQizilbash doesn't seem to care. They just tried to restore their edit [25]. HistoryofIran (talk) 14:05, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

I didn't understand what you said. AzerbaijaniQizilbash (talk) 14:10, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

I will directly post all of the sources they provided on your talk page. Remsense诉 14:11, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Remsense! HistoryofIran (talk) 14:14, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

The amount of good-faith effort you put into answering peoples' questions is an inspiration, it's the least I can do. Remsense诉 14:21, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Well, this is awkward. Thanks for letting me know! HistoryofIran (talk) 13:32, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Haha, well, I'm sure no one was confused about your meaning. You're welcome, and keep up the good work! 100.36.106.199 (talk) 11:43, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Haha I guess. Thank you and likewise! HistoryofIran (talk) 22:41, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Barnstar of Diplomacy

I was looking at the User talk of Lawyer.F where I see you going to great lengths to explain both history and Wikipedia guidelines on sources. That takes a lot of time and patience on your part and many editors would simply revert edits rather than creating and sustaining a talk page discussion. This editor could not be turned into a productive one but, who knows, the next one might be. Thanks for investing the time into educating new editors. Liz Read! Talk! 04:29, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

I'm honored, thank you very much Liz! HistoryofIran (talk) 13:02, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
