Removed the following from main article due to inconsistencies:

"Karen was also the name of an ancient Persian commander who killed Marcos Crasus and won his army in a battle in B.C.53. His head was thrown under the feet of the Armenian King Artavazd & Parthian King Zorhasp's feet at the time of Evklides "Baxoses" drama in Theatre Artaxiad Armenia."

However, per Persian Empire article "the Parthian General Surena defeated Marcus Licinius Crassus of Rome" and "Karen-Pahlav Clan" was a clan governing one of the provinces.

its apparently a conflation of two distinct events. Marcus Crassus invaded Arsacid-occupied territory with the support of the Armenians, who were a vassal state of the Arsacid Parthians. Orodes II responded by sending one army to counter Crassus, and another to punish the Armenians. The one army that fought Crassus at the Battle of Carrhae was under the command of a member of the feudal House of Suren. The other army - the one sent to punish the Armenians - was under the command of a member of the feudal House of Karen.

none of the participants I just named was a "Persian" and the Persian Empire article is a load of bull.

ps: I just converted Karen (name) to a {{hndis}} (human-name disambig). Hope that was ok.

Can anyone explain why
a) this article is tagged with {{Unsourced}})?
b) the normal procedure of tagging questionable sentences with {{cn}} (or similar) is not used?

The article provides no sources for any of its statements, obviously. Valrith 23:26, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Ahem. "any of its statements?," like "Karen is a female given name," or do you mean specific statements that you consider needing a citation? -- Fullstop 23:34, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, "any" of its statements. The list of names likely doesn't need citing, but everything in the opening paragraph does. Valrith 23:41, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
