Her name in Kurdish[edit]

@Shadow4dark How is writing her name in Kurdish irrelevant? :) Tekosh (talk) 17:01, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(nosing in here): Since she was born in Germany and is American, it doesn't appear to be of prime importance. Edward-Woodrow :) _[talk] 17:12, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Based on that logic let's remove her name in Persian and write it in German. :) You're an experienced editor so I am trying to learn from you. Thank you. Tekosh (talk) 17:17, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really know, to be honest, but writing it in Persian or Kurdish doesn't seem of prime importance. You'd have to ask editors with more specific experience in this topic. MOS:LEADLANG says that Relevant foreign-language names, such as those of people who do not write their names in English, are encouraged. If the subject of the article is closely associated with a non-English language, a single foreign language equivalent name may be included in the lead sentence, usually in parentheses. Edward-Woodrow :) _[talk] 17:21, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm indifferent on the Persian transliteration, but it's clear that Tekosh only wants to have it removed because they didn't get to add Kurdish, similar to Abu Hanifa Dinawari. So much for claiming to have read the rules in their ANI thread. Moghbeli is routinely referred to as an "Iranian-American" [1]. I'll let others discuss it out. --HistoryofIran (talk) 17:21, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. Let's allow other editors with less bias and more experience to get involved with this. When I said let's remove the Persian one, that was rhetoric. I think we should include both the Persian and the Kurdish names. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Edward-Woodrow thanks for your comments. Helpful. Tekosh (talk) 17:39, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@HistoryofIran my friend, it feels like we have started our friendship on a really bad note :). Let's reset. Maybe major part of it was my mistake, I was too harsh with my edits but you were also too harsh with your responses. We probably share the exact same DNA. I am Kurdish and You are Persian. Let's communicate peacefully! Thanks. Tekosh (talk) 17:42, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tekosh, stop commenting on me and my ethnicity, I am not even full Persian, but that's none of your concern, and I really couldn't care less about your or anyone elses ethnicity and especially DNA. If you truly think I have been harsh and at your level a that, feel free to take it to WP:ANI. --HistoryofIran (talk) 17:53, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't call that peaceful communication, but OK. :) Tekosh (talk) 18:01, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the Iranian on lede as it has no relevance for the subject. Iranian people can't revoke ther citizenship. Shadow4dark (talk) 17:45, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I thought you removed her name in Kurdish. I agree with you on removing Iranian. Can you please comment on her name in Kurdish? Another editor removed it due to irrelevance but they kept the Persian name. Can we add it back? @Shadow4dark Tekosh (talk) 18:04, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Persian should be also renoved as i can't see English written sources using that. Maybe people should add sources if that is her birth name Shadow4dark (talk) 18:13, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's the same as the English name, but the alphabet is Kurdish or Persian. And I had posted a source with her name in Kurdish. Tekosh (talk) 18:20, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the alleged Kurdish origin too per WP:BLP, see [2]. It seems like this Reddit thread [3] is attracting some people to this article. --HistoryofIran (talk) 18:31, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is unacceptable. How can someone just come and keep deleting Kurdish-related content even if there's sources for them?

Can we get some more experienced editors here who can actually have an unbiased view on this matter? @Shadow4dark @Edward-Woodrow Tekosh (talk) 18:45, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I already told you to stop commenting on me. ~~And I have been here for 10 years, how is that not experienced?~~ You claimed that you now understood the rules. --HistoryofIran (talk) 18:48, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see absolutely zero problems here. It's unacceptable to have controversial claims supported by non-RS. Edward-Woodrow :) _[talk] 18:54, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please stop casting WP:ASPERSIONS on HistoryofIran, a well-regarded editor who has been here ten times as long as I have and has experience in this topic. Edward-Woodrow :) _[talk] 19:18, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Kurdishness of Yasmin Moqbali[edit]

The Kurdishness of Yasmin Moqbali has not been mentioned in any independent source or by her. The only sources that say she is a Kurd from Mahabad are Kurdish sources. I request more independent sources. Iroony (talk) 20:19, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

there exist numerous issues regarding her biography and I want to correct it Mahtab212 (talk) 11:50, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mahabad is in West Azerbaijan province. You don’t even have a clue about Iran 2A02:A03F:6096:9900:F47A:4000:9941:D8DB (talk) 12:03, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No she is not. Stop harassing Wikipedia. DiviAeneas (talk) 11:55, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jasmin is an ufo, it is born in space, therefore, it would be totally okay to call it an ufo. 149.140.222.118 (talk) 09:41, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
