Inconsistancies

As a intermediate/beginner french speaker I can tell there are some inconsistances with the French language artice, the French artice has more info. I can also tell the netherlands artice has more info. I would expect the georgian article does too.

Can someone please correct this, thanks lfclfclfc123



Why on earth do you insist in calling this Shah Mosque if it is Imam Mosque? Isnt it extremely political to insist on the name this mosque no longer has, when it is widely known as Imam Mosque in Iran? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.161.75.151 (talk) 09:44, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I undid this edit for now, but if you can provide sourced information then there is certainly a case for this being moved and the wording corrected or, at least, the alternative name mentioned. May you go in God's care. Peter Deer (talk) 18:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Suggesting this be moved

In doing some quick lookups it would appear according to most sources that it was formerly called Masjed-e Shah, and was referred to as the Shah Mosque, but that in revolutionary backlash against the monarchy it is now referred to as Masjed-e Emam more commonly, the Imam Mosque. So, in other words, I think that our IP editor here was correct and that this should be moved to Imam Mosque, or at least that it should contain references and information regarding it being renamed.
