Question about random Iranian villages[edit]Why are there SO MANY it is insane just a question WHY SO MANY 100.11.110.92 (talk) 01:40, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Comments on Notes section[edit]
Concerns Is Izydor Borowski known in Iranian (Persian) sources?[edit]This is a problematic biography (many exaggerated claims, possible historical hoax). But there are some technically reliable sources, it's not a wiki hoax. We are improving his article on pl wiki. One of the sources claims that "he was recognized as a national hero in Persia". He has no Farsi or Arabic Wikipedia articles. Can anyone dig out anything about him in these languages? (I worry most of his life is a falsification by some Polish semi-amateur historians...). See also his bio in English language Encyclopædia Iranica (not sure how reliable that is?): https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/borowsky-isidore Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:50, 23 January 2025 (UTC) Requested move at Talk:Mani (prophet)#Requested move 18 January 2025[edit]Requested move at Talk:Tahmasp's campaign of 1731#Requested move 28 January 2025[edit]Requested move at Talk:The Persian Caravanserai#Requested move 5 February 2025[edit]Join Wiki Loves Ramadan 2025![edit]Dear Wikipedia contributors, We invite you to take part in Wiki Loves Ramadan 2025, a global initiative dedicated to expanding and enhancing Wikipedia’s coverage of Ramadan’s cultural, historical, and religious significance. 📅 When?

I recently stubbed this (latter link, first is about a different topic); it seems to be a candy popular in Iran too (I initially based this on articles about Uzbek candy, which seems to be the same concept, just a bit different name). AFAIK Novvot seems to be the Uzbek word, Iranian is nabat. I am not sure which is more popular, but I found Uzbek interwiki - no Iranian to link. If there is Persian/Farsi or Arabic article, I'd appreciate if someone could connect it. Feel free to expand/improve the article.

Thanks! -Mushy Yank. 08:38, 13 March 2025 (UTC) Old Hezarjarib[edit]Hi! The Old Hezarjarib article is one of the oldest orphans on the english Wikipedia. I tried to de-orphan it but I have a some doubts. Please see the Talk:Old Hezarjarib - Mazandaran page for the discussion. My gut feeling is that the article should be merged with Hezarjarib District but in the absence of references I cannot be sure. Can someone shed some light? Thanks!

Removing Invitation to review AfD discussion – Hamzeh Najafimehr[edit]Hello everyone, I’d like to kindly request feedback from members of WikiProject Iran regarding the article Hamzeh Najafimehr, which is currently under deletion discussion. The article has been significantly improved with coverage from major Iranian and international media (e.g., IRNA, ISNA, Hamshahri, Khabar Online, Verna Magazine), as well as international invention awards (Geneva, Seoul, Thailand) held under the supervision of WIPO. If you have time, your input as neutral editors would be greatly appreciated: Discussion link Thank you very much for your time and support.

Attempts to discuss and reach consensus on the talk page has gone without effect for Hashim-afc as they continue to incorrectly revert and remove the sources in the article.--Bijanii (talk) 19:34, 16 May 2025 (UTC) Image discussion (2025) at Talk:Second Cold War[edit]Link: Talk:Second Cold War#Consensus on "event" to warrant images or infobox. George Ho (talk) 21:41, 19 May 2025 (UTC) Unsourced moves of various Iranian villages[edit]Could anyone more familiar with Iranian geography than I am please reivew the contributions of User:سپهراد آمیتیس, especially the page moves? They appear to have moved a number of Iranian villages to new names with no sources, and did not respond to my request that they provide sources. I haven't been able to find any, but this isn't really my area. I reverted one, Darshanemu, but don't quite feel confident enough to mass revert here. Rusalkii (talk) 20:54, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

The contest will run from 1 July to 30 September, and the objective remains the same: improve as many articles relating to developing countries as you can to help fight systemic bias on Wikipedia. In other news, we have a new face on the coordinator team this year: last year's sixth-place finisher, Arconning (talk · contribs)! The coordinators would like to extend a sincere thanks to Ixtal (talk · contribs), who is leaving the team, without whom the contest would not exist. After feedback from contestants last year, the scoring rules are undergoing some modifications; the new rules and a summary of the changes made will be posted to the contest talk page shortly. If you have any questions, please leave a message on the contest talk page, use the {{@DCWC coordinators}} template, or contact one of the coordinators: Arconning (talk · contribs), sawyer777 (talk · contribs), or TechnoSquirrel69 (talk · contribs).

I assume most sources are in Iranian, and annoyingly, I seem to be geo-IP blocked from some Iranian English content (probably because I live in Korea and trigger some spam/security flags on their severs? Shrug). Amway, any fixes to the article would be welcome, TIA.
