Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Afsharid dynasty, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text borrowed from web sites. For more information, take a look at our policy library. Happy editing! FreplySpang (talk) 02:54, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Hi Pedram, thanks again for your interest in Wikipedia! Unfortunately, the text that you have added to Afsharid dynasty appears to be copied from another website, linked here: [1] . It says that it is "Copyright © 1997, 2000, 2002 by J.N.W. Bos. All rights reserved." Wikipedia does not permit articles that include copyrighted text outside of brief quotes. It is a violation of copyright law for us to include copyrighted text without permission, and it could get us into a lot of trouble, so we do our best to keep it out of Wikipedia.

I have removed the copyrighted text from Afsharid dynasty; please do not put it back. If you want to summarize it in your own words, that would be great. Once more, thanks for your interest and your contributions! FreplySpang (talk) 15:02, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Salam

Thanx for your message.

I was away at a conference for a few days.

And I am currently busy trying to prevent Zora from changing history on our Ahvaz and Khuzestan pages. She is desperately and maliciously trying to claim that Ahvaz originally is an Arabic name and hence belongs to the Arabs.

I'll help you out in the first opportunity I get. But we could use your help there oin the Ahvaz or Khuzestan pages as well. Even just a sentence of support.--Zereshk 02:22, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of Iranian scientists thoroughly expanded

I just thoroughly expanded the List of Iranian scientists by adding 20 or so more biographies which I have been writing over the past week. The list is almost complete.--Zereshk 08:58, 14 Jun 2005 (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 appreciated. Bā Sepās Surena 02:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shiraz GAC

I recently nominated Shiraz to be reviewed for the good article criterea, but it was refused because of lack of citation. I added some refferences and now I ask you to unofficially review it before I renominate it. If you see any problem with it please tell nme on my talk page or fix it yourself.Thankyou for your time.Manu kian maheri93 12:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ahwaz territory

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Ahwaz territory. There are question about the truthfulness of the article and whether such a territory exists. Since you contributed to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Iran, I am hoping that you would consider participating in the Ahwaz territory deletion review to shed some light on whether the Ahwaz territory in fact exists. Thanks. -- Jreferee t/c 17:50, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
