[edit] Sourcing problem

Using Encyclopedia Brittanica as a reference is not OK; we need to find more specific sources. -- Beland (talk) 19:39, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Errors in the Persian Dari article

I have tried several times to correct these errors, but they have been repeatedly returned to their erroneous state. First, the language is Persian Dari, not Dari Persian. Persian is not a language, it is a language group. Dari is a language. Therefore "Persian", the adjective, comes before "Dari", the noun. Remember that this is written in English, not Dari (In Dari adjective follow the noun). Also, in the grammar section it is written that the verb "to have" (داشتن) is used for simple present tense. This sentence construction is usable, but not even remotely common. It is a very rare and odd way to speak, and therefore should not be cited as the only way that Dari and Farsi are constructed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rodwa4 (talk • contribs) 21:09, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
