  • Hey again, Kevin. I saw your note over on the Haj-Mirza Hassan Roshdieh talk page. As the OrphanBot says above, that image is most likely copyrighted, and thus unavailable for our use here on Wikipedia. If you're interested, you can read more about that at: Wikipedia:Image use policy. I think you're doing excellent work with the Roshdieh article, and I hope that you can come up with some more references like that first one you found. Feel free to use books or magazine articles, just cite them. Feel free to drop me a note at my talk page if you've got questions. A Train take the 14:22, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oh and one more thing: It's a good idea to sign your talk page posts with four tildes, like this: ~~~~. It creates a datestamped signature like the one at the end of my posts. Cheers, A Train take the 14:25, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Two Articles in need of your attention

There are two entries at Wikipedia, which have falsely created -- they are Turco-Persian and Turko-Persian Tradition. Both entries are factitious. I have requested the entries to be deleted. My reasons are:

The term Turko-Persian Tradition (or Turco-Persian) does not exists academically and it is a factitious entry! Check the Encyclopaedia Iranica to confirm -- The correct name for that culture is the Persianate culture not the "Turko-Persian". Turkophones (mostly of mixed race and Persianized in culture) only spoke in Turkic dialects and were in the military. That is not enough participation in creating and forming the culture to deserve the name "Turko-Persian Tradition" – This is misinformation. All the elements in that area, which have to do with tradition and culture, were drawn from the Iranian culture (Persian, Kurdish, Azari, Baluchi, Tajik, Luri, Gilaki, Talishi, Mazandarani, etc.), and the Islamic faith, not much Turkic elements (like shamanism, yurts etc.) were incorporated in. That is what makes the name "Turko-Persian" an imaginary one and therefore the entry should be deleted.

Any contributions would greatly appreciate – please add your comments, whether you agree with the deletion, or otherwise to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Turco-Persian as well as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Turko-Persian Tradition. Bā Sepās Surena 02:55, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
