User talk:Motlagh

Welcome

Hello, Motlagh, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

There is a page about the verifiability policy that explains the policy in greater detail, and another that offers tips on the proper ways of citing sources. If you are stuck and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 14:14, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Salman al-Farisi

As a student of Farsi and a friend to several Iranian Zoroastrians, I am well aware of the state of things between Muslims and Zoroastrians over time. (Besides, my name is Naahed Sarvi.)

However, your observations are highly dubious and smack of original research. They contradict as well many well-sourced reports that Salman was, in fact, an actual convert - and a very invaluable member of the early Ummah.

If you are going to bring what appears to be fringe-theory arguments about Salman to a highly-monitored page, you need to come with citations and bring it up on the talk page.

Yours in peace, Ogress _smash! 18:42, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
