[edit] Plagiarism

Virtually the entire article here has been plagiarised in a straight copy-paste from [http://www.cais(dash)soas.com/CAIS/History/ashkanian/surena.htm this site], which has, according to Archive.org, contained its current text since at least May, 2003, which this article obviously has not. The majority of this text was added by an anonymous user in December, 2006. The references in this article are, themselves, consequently, similarly plagiarised. I am thus removing the copied text. --Yst 13:46, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

There were pther plagiarized passages (now removed), including an embellished version originally from page 51ff of the Cambridge History Of Iran, volume 3, part 1. In the article, those paras were attributed to an article by the owner of the CAIS website. -- Fullstop 18:29, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
I have now rewritten the article from scratch, which not only resolves the copyvio problems, but significant WP:OR problems as well. -- Fullstop 22:53, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Why was the Suren-Pahlav clan article removed? --The Persian Cataphract 16:01, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
