[edit] Merge
I have merged Naser Khosrow into this article by this edit, and added a cleanup-rewrite tag to the page, since I've basically dumped most of the content into here (under 'Alternative version'). Note also, in case there is some confusion regarding the edit history, that my Revision as of 16:12, 2 November 2006 was not a merge (as mentioned in the edit summary), but a merge suggestion. The actual merge was done by the next revision, on November 4. --Bluerain talk 17:22, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not a Sunni
I don't personally want to go through a fix this article, since its structured quite strangely and would require major revision. But one very important fact that should not be missed is that, unlike it states in the second section in this article, there is fairly no evidence to suggest that Khusraw was ever a Sunni; he was born into a Shii family and explicitly espoused Ismaili Shiism in his later writings. It is very common for Sunni historians to try and appropriate figures like Khusraw (or at least partially appropriate them) so one should be very wary of what sources one is using. But even a cursory look at an encyclopedia of Islam (or even encyclopedia britanica for that matter) would let you know that Khusraw was, by all major evidence, a Shii. - Ajay Chaudhary (Department of Middle Eastern and Asian Languages and Cultures, Columbia University)
- Yes, he was definitely not a Sunni. He was an Isma'ili.Ariana310 12:08, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Naser Khosrow stamp.jpg
Image:Naser Khosrow stamp.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:20, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
