Persian wife

I never heard about persian wife, it needs to be proven.

Link to Goharshad is given. If you have never heared something about her, than it's your problem. Goharshad is one of the most important characters in Perso-Islamic history. Even the poet Jami has written verses about her. Tājik 13:53, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, you are talking about Timur's Persian concubine?! Then you should have a look into the article "Timur" by Prof. B.F. Manz in the Encyclopaedia of Islam! Tājik 13:56, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Name

His name means castling, as in the chess move. "Face of the king" could be written as rukh-i shah but "shahrukh" definitely means castling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.135.203.32 (talk) 21:27, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There were no "castling" in Shatranj, nor even in "Tamerlan chess". It did not exist as a single move, but neither as "manual castling", as there were no "sha leap". 83.51.168.228 (talk) 11:51, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

RV

I've reverted a good faith edit by User:Barefact. The name Gowharshad has nothing to do with the Altaic title Shad. It is derived of the Persian words "gowhar" (jewel) and "shad" (shining), thus "shining jewel". Tajik (talk) 19:38, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Birth-date

The August 20 date was an unexplained change by a user with no history. A check of sites did not obviously reveal any sources that listed August 20, however because of the calendar translation difficulty, there are often discrepancies in eastern dates, so it is plausible that this date can be defended. However, the only date I found other than August 30 was July 21. Wiseprincebambi (talk) 06:40, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Really 20 august seems to be wrong. According Yazdi in Zafarnama, the date was thuesday 14 Rabialaker 779; Rabialaker don't exist now, but must be Rabi al-Thani. 14 Rabi al-Thani 779 is 28 august 1377 (that is thuersday). 14 Rabi al-Awal 779 is 30 july 1377 but was Tuesday. Then I adopted 28 august 1377 in the catalan viquipedia.--Jolle (talk) 10:18, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Name

His name is Shahrukh, not Shah Rukh. Muin-ud-Din Shahrukh. 151.44.91.122 (talk) 10:01, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

empire map?

The article needs a map of the Timurid empire's changes under his reign. 50.111.51.9 (talk) 23:28, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
