In History → Modern era (1501–): "his secret police, SAVAK, were used to crushed" → "his secret police, SAVAK, were used to crush" 83.248.171.201 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 09:28, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
Iran's HDI value for 2012, according to the UNDP, is 0.742 which falls under the high human development category. Even previously wikipedia showed 2011 statistics on HDI where Iran has a higher HDI, but now it's showing old data. Why? Iran's HDI value for 2012 is 0.742 and Iran ranks 76 out of 187 countries and territories in the report.
Here's the report for Iran: http://hdrstats.undp.org/images/explanations/IRN.pdf 2.177.8.158 (talk) 21:08, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
In the religion sub paragraph is stated that 2% of Iranians belong to non-Muslim religious minorities, such as Bahá'is, Mazdeans, Zoroastrians etc. However, the added chart shows just 0.4% as non-Muslim minorities. LouisAragon (talk) 23:02, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Please add information about the 1988 massacre in Afghanistan and the killing of 11 Iranian diplomats. This resulted in the lining up of Iranian troops and almost every piece of armor Iran had on the border with Afghanistan. It looked like it was going to be war against the Taliban since the people were outraged, but Khatami stopped the order of assault by halting it until he could take it to the UN and get international support for it. The UN then led operations against the Taliban. I have pictures which are hard to find through regular searches. Its helicopter recorded footage from the Iranian tank column at the border. It is a bit llow-rez however it will look nicely on the side. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SatCa (talk • contribs) 15:44, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Croatian writer Giancarlo Kravar: Iran is in the new Criminal Code kept stoning to death as a punishment for adultery, but the judge may designate another penalty, according to AFP. A spokesman for the Iranian Parliament Ali Mohamad Esfanani in a statement to the Iranian Mehr agency explained that stoning as a punishment provided sharia law "has not been removed and remains in the law, but the manner of its implementation is left to the choice of the judge." The Iranian jails 12 people awaiting execution of the death penalty by stoning, while on death row in Iran often execute by hanging. Sentenced to death by stoning, which are partially buried in the ground (men up to the waist, women shoulder), can save their lifes if manage to break free during the execution of the sentence.78.2.102.150 (talk) 15:39, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

When discussing the 1953 CIA-supported coup against Prime Minister Mossadeq, the article refers to it as the first time the United States overthrew a foreign government. I edited this the other day so that the sentence said it was the first time that the US had overthrown a foreign government "during the Cold War", because the 1953 Iranian coup'd'etat was not the first time the US overthrew a foreign government. The United States overthrew foreign governments and conquered territories throughout the late 19th and early 20th century (Hawaii (1893), Nicaragua (1909), Haiti (1915)). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.82.237 (talk) 05:04, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

I don't know enough about Classical Iranian history to make edits on such an important topic, but it's clear that the segment needs cleanup. The events described are not in chronological order, and as such the text is messy. In addition, part of the text is written twice.
I will try to clean up the segment as well as I am able, but I have little way of knowing if part of the source text is inaccurate. It would be good if someone with knowledge of the topic would take a look at the segment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.50.45.192 (talk) 16:55, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
A user by the name of Organisingcomittee corrupted the word "جمهوری", Persian for Republic. He changed it to what appears to be what is used in Urdu language to represent the word "Republic". ALL mentions of this word in Persian are written as جمهوری. If someone could fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. It appears twice in the infobox, I believe. I am a native Persian speaker, and you may confirm this by looking at the Persian Wikipedia, as well as the other languages containing its native writing, as well as online websites. Use: جمهوری Thanks! 174.17.18.128 (talk) 07:18, 3 September 2013 (UTC) Edit: I actually was able to edit it myself (thought it was locked).

Azerbaijan, Khuzestan, Sistan/Balochistan. These are are not Fars/Persia. Fars/Persia is located central and southern Iran.If persia and iran were the same, then every Iranian should be Persian.
The USSR is another example, though it was often called "russia" it was another state, with russia existing within it and it has a separate article on wikipeida also. The Soviet Union consisted of many republic, inducing the Russian Federation Socialist republic as well as Azerbaijan republic, Tajik, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, etc. with Russia being the dominant republic, but still not equivalent to the USSR.
Even the name Persia is derived from Fars and really refers to that region, not to the other provinces 192.0.173.58 (talk) 20:39, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

The second phonetic is incorrect and should be deleted. In English, it is pronounced /ɪˈrɑːn/ or /ɪˈran/. The incorrect /aɪˈræn/ is in other words the past tense of running. For example, I ran yesterday. Please see these sources for correct pronunciation: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/american_english/Iran http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/iran
I've never heard Iran incorrectly pronounced on the national news, and radio.
This is similar to Italy, which is pronounced /ˈɪtəli/ and not /aɪˈtəli/. Another examples, include iridescent /ˌɪrəˈdɛsənt/ or irreconcilable /ɪˌrɛkənˈsaɪlə/. Ehsan10Iran (talk) 12:47, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Utter BS. 1) You're either a staunch support/admired of the Islamic Republic, or, 2) you weren't present there and are a completely delusional diasporean Iranian. My feeling goes definetely towards number one. The women used the International Women's Day to protest agains the just recently imposed Hijab laws. Khomeini always told there would be no forced Hijab law in the wake of his ascension, but he changed that soon afterwards he got into power.

LouisAragon, you show low level of civility by your WP:VULGAR language ("utter BS"). Other thing, you're assuming bad faith with political motivated comments from your first edit (pure WP:ATTACK and also includes a lie that I've been "warned by many editors"), and also by your ignoring my friendly comments, repeatedly forcing Soroush90gh's version which includes photo inserted by him months ago without any discussion. Your accusations make little sense since their basis is ingnorance and unknowing Iranian culture, for example Mrs. Maryam Rajavi wears scarf all the time but she's leader of anti-IRI organization which advocates secularism. You simply fail to understand scarf is part of local dress code in past three milleniums and it has nothing to do with politics (except Pahlavist bans and restrictions).
Not let's pass points one by one again:
Conclusion: disputed photo may be inserted in various articles (women, rights, movements) with proper and neutral description, but forcing it here it's clear violation of WP:ILIKEIT, WP:IMAGE RELEVANCE, WP:NPOV and WP:UNDUE. --Qizilbash123 (talk) 00:41, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

I am wondering, despite that we have a huge history and culture in Iran, why is this page so brief?
Why don't we include more photos of huge historical monuments?
Why don't we have more information about our national holidays and symbols?
Why don't we have more information about tourism in Iran?
I think that there are still a lot of important and notable contents about Iran that we can include to this page.
Please, help improve this page. Thank you.
Arvid Qasemy (talk) 10:09, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
At the top of this part of the page (Culture), we had a photo () showing "Two Herons with Ducks". This photo was too big and had damaged the position of the text, and beside of that, it did not have a clear enough appearance. Because at the first glance, we could not communicate with this photo, and somehow it conveys a complexity and confusion to the eyes of the viewer. And I thought that the photos should be more obvious to make this connection happen.
So I found another photo (File:Miniator hotel shah abbas deevar.jpg) which shows a more clear and obvious part of a miniator painting in a Caravanserai in Spadana City.
In this part of the page (Arts and literature), we had a photo () related to the Iranian arts, which I believe did not look good enough without the complete forming of it.
Then I found another photo () which shows the ceiling of the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque and has a design showing a basic form of the Iranian art and architecture which is "continuity" and "unity", and looks kind of better than the current photo.
In this part, we had a very short and brief description of the Cinema and Music of Iran. Beside of including additional information, I thought we could include a photo of Leila Hatami who is a very famous and well-known Iranian actress and has been between the jury of Festival de Cannes of this year. She is a big part of the Iranian cinema and many people in Iran and France respect her as a wise and praise deserving artist. So she is a notable character in this part of the page and can be the representer of the Iranian cinema.
The foodware in the photo () was set very improper, messy and low class. My suggestion was to choose a better photo in this part of the page, such as the photo of 'Kuku Sabzi' () which is a popular Iranian food and is shown in a well-set way in the photo.
I've already done the edits; tell me if I was wrong so we can talk more about this.
I'm trying to improve this page, so I need your agreement and cooperation.
Thank you so much. _ Arvid Qasemy (talk) 12:48, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Arvid Qasemy, my advice is to find some better miniature instead of current one, considering Timur is actually a foreign ruler and it's depicting his campaign in India (not Iran). --Qizilbash123 (talk) 16:48, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Qizilbash123, how about this: File:Raghs-isfahan.jpg? Or File:Hasht-Behesht Palace kamancheh.jpg? Or how about to put a photo of a Persian celebration? Like Nowrouz or Yalda's night. For example: File:Yalda Night Table Amsterdam 2011 Photo by Pejman Akbarzadeh Persian Dutch Network.jpg. Arvid Qasemy (talk) 09:50, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
Arvid Qasemy, something related to important Medieval events, like File:Nasir al-Din al-Tusi at observatory.jpg or File:Designed by BASAWAN; Colored by NAND GWALIOR. Hulagu Khan Destroy the Fort at Alamut. ca. 1596. Virginia MOA.jpg. First two are from later Safavid period (there are already photos). And relating Nowruz, photos like this are much better: File:Noruz - Persia.jpg, because it's all in one - Nowruz, history and art, and also Iran (not Amsterdam). --Qizilbash123 (talk) 13:35, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

User:Arvid Qasemy, please:
Hi, it's Arvid.
We have an issue in this page which is about "adding or removing" the information about "the protest of Iranian women against the new rules" after the Iranian Revolution.
I believe this information is needed here, because it is an important event and shows the idea and identity of a big group of the population of Iran, who do not agree with a couple of the rules of the new regime, and they're trying to gain a reform since the exact start of the revolution until now.
I believe that the voice of these people, who I am included between them, should be heard. This is a true and important event in the history, and it should be written here in this page.
This information had been existing here since I remember until some users became upset about this.
During my edits, I had added this information with a picture included. So it was not an "accident". I've already written the summary of what I was going to do. I think our dear friend Qizilbash123, who is upset about including this information, was wrong about this.
Our dear friend Qizilbash123 says that this information is "disputed". But I don't believe this. We're just showing a picture of an event happened in a real time in the history, with a text included to explain its time and date. That's all. They ARE a big part of this country and they should be included here.
Now, if you are really upset about including this information and you think that if we include this information, then you and the people having the same idea as yours will seem included into those people, then we can use the words "a group of Iranian women".
This is my suggestion. But we cannot remove a complete event because of this disagreement.
I think that dear Soroush90gh has the same idea as mine.
Let's talk here about this and stop the war of removing and including again.
Merci. Arvid Qasemy (talk) 08:30, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
Dear Qizilbash123, I believe you are wrong about this. We should keep this photo and I have already made its position in a well set. So please stop removing this photo. This is an important and notable event in the history. Arvid Qasemy (talk) 08:36, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the user Qizilbash123, uses WP as a tribune for his propaganda. He has omitted the photo, while we are discussing about the issue here. Soroush90gh (talk) 19:23, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
Per WP:SUMMARY, this article should contain a brief summary of the article Women's rights movement in Iran, and also a brief summary of the article Women in Iran. Many English language observers are interested in the status of women in Iran, so there are numerous high quality sources. Binksternet (talk) 21:44, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Binksternet, like subsection "Women" under section "Culture"? I have no problems with it, but perhaps someone would complain it's not practice in articles about other countries (it's like making section about nuclear program and Iranian-USA/Israeli tensions; just if they're in news headlines isn't reason to highlight it). Anyway it's easy to make such subsection and if someone complain redistribute text under other sections. P.S. Please do not remove sourced content and instist on disputed one as you did in last edit.

The part about the 2009 elections is clearly not neutral and hides some information in order to discredit the green movement and support the regime's thesis.
"The European Union and several western countries expressed concern over alleged irregularities during the vote,[129] and many analysts and journalists from the United States and United Kingdom news media voiced doubts about the authenticity of the results."
This is really not fair to only write this, if you want to talk about people expressing concerns over alleged irregularities during the vote, you should firstly talk about us (Iranians) first. Cinema directors (for example Jafar Panahi, Mohammad Rasoulof), usual citizens, bloggers, journalists, politicians, sportsmen (Karimi, Nekounam and most of the National Iranian Football Team during the game with Korea), actors (Pegah Ahangarani, Ramin Parchami), classic musicians (Mohammad Reza Shajarian), even Basijis themselves (see the Guardian's interview with defected Basijis, see Amir Farshad Ebrahimi, and many others...), & also people among the Iranian diaspora all said the votes were fraudulent. The most relevant file is the letter from the Interior Ministry exposed everywhere in Iran and even showed by Marjan Satrapi and Mohsen Makhmalbaf in European Parliament: http://news.gooya.com/politics/archives/2009/06/089337.php showing the real votes (Mousavi won with 20,000,000 votes followed by Karroubi who had 14,000,000 and Ahmadinejad only had 5,500,000). Mohammad Asghari, the employee exposing this letter was killed just after doing it !! (see http://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%85%D8%AD%D9%85%D8%AF_%D8%A7%D8%B5%D8%BA%D8%B1%DB%8C ). You should also talk about the number of journalists arrested just before the elections, if everything was right then why so many arrests just before the elections ?? (You can see the names here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Iranian_presidential_election) You should also talk about the number of votes going down: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:FakeResults_Iran.jpg You should also write that it is impossible to count 40 million votes in 2 hours. You should talk about the fact that during these 2 hours, the percentages stayed the same !!! You should talk about the fact that provinces that used to boycott in majority suddenly began to vote for the conservative party ! You should talk about the fact the green protests gathered millions of people while pro-ahmadinejad protests took people from all over the country with buses and couldn't even gather 100,000 people ! Unfortunately, I cannot edit the article, that's why I say "you". <
"Independent polls have not contradicted official turnout of 2009 election, which gave around 60% of vote to Ahmadinejad."
That is a joke and an insult to anyone living in Iran. I oppose the whole regime but if I am called asked if I do, I will obviously say I don't !!! You guys should start putting yourself into contexts before saying something and stop being naive !

Hello everyone! I was redirected here as I was searching for Persia. I wanted to know more about Persian culture, Persian cuisine and the extent of the old Persian empire. But all I read, is centred on what we now know as the country of Iran. Why is that? I cannot see any discussion on this issue here on the talk page either, so if there has been a discussion, then please let me know.
I am Danish myself and have no affiliation to anything Persian, but I would guess this to be a hot topic for people from the area?

I think your confusion comes from the fact, that in terms of the state name, Persia and Iran are synonyms :) . Before 1935, Iran was known as Persia, on an international level - the article outlines this problem. So there are no such things, as "Persian culture" and "Iranian culture" being two different things (though the latter may, and does, apply also to the culture of so-called Greater Iran). It's one and the same country, actually it's the same case as ancient and modern Greece. The difference being, that the local name of Persia, Iran, became promoted on an international level, whereas the local name of Greece, Hellas, was not. More on this, here: Name of Iran. Anyway, if you were searching for Persian culture, there are appropriate sections in the article :) . See also Persian Empire. 94.72.119.168 (talk) 21:12, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

I am not an Iran expert, but I read articles on countries a lot. When I am waiting at restaurants or the post office, I often read the first few paragraphs about countries on mobile Wikipedia. I've looked at this article maybe five times in the past few months. Almost every time, the terminology used for Iran's government changes. Sometimes it's a presidential state, sometimes a theocracy, sometimes an Islamic republic, sometimes a constitutional government...and so forth.
Look, I don't care much either way as long as it's accurate. But the changing nomenclature every few weeks makes the site seem inconsistent and unprofessional. Whether the current nomenclature is the most acceptable or not, can we at least get that in writing here on the talk page from a wide selection of editors? That way, it will be official and the back-and-forth changes will have no basis. MezzoMezzo (talk) 05:33, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

These foods probably don't fall under the category of 'cuisine' but it would be nice if readers were made aware of the following facts with respect to the origins of certain fruits, vegetables and foods --
1) (2000 BC) - Peaches are a fruit of Iranian origin, as indicated by their Latin scientific name, Prunus persica, from which (by way of the French) we have the English word "peach."
2) (500 BC) - First cultivation of spinach
Spinach is thought to have originated in ancient Persia (modern Iran and neighboring countries). It is not known by whom, or when, spinach was introduced to India, but the plant was subsequently introduced to ancient China, where it was known as "Persian vegetable" (bōsī cài; 波斯菜; present:菠菜). The earliest available record of the spinach plant was recorded in Chinese, stating it was introduced into China via Nepal (probably in 647 AD).
3) (700 AD) - The Cookie.
Cookies appear to have their origins in 7th century AD Persia, shortly after the use of sugar became relatively common in the region.[1] They spread to Europe through the Muslim conquest of Spain. By the 14th century, they were common in all levels of society throughout Europe, from royal cuisine to street vendors.
4) ice cream
In the Persian Empire, people would pour grape-juice concentrate over snow, in a bowl, and eat this as a treat. This was done primarily when the weather was hot, using snow saved in the cool-keeping underground chambers known as "yakhchal", or taken from snowfall that remained at the top of mountains by the summer capital Ecbatana. In 400 BC, the Persians went further and invented a special chilled food, made of rose water and vermicelli, which was served to royalty during summers.[10] The ice was mixed with saffron, fruits, and various other flavours.
5) wine
The earliest chemically attested grape wine in the world was discovered at Hajji Firuz in the northwestern Zagros Mountains of Iran, ca. 5400 BC. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.143.139 (talk) 04:11, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Women living in Iran have encountered various challenges and obstacles socially, politically, economically, and psychologically that have affected character and integrity. In Iran today we see women’s rights activists have very little opportunity to voice their opinions. Although academics and lifelong learning is deemed valuable in Iran historically and religiously, there is legislation aimed to undermine women’s social and legal progress. An example is women’s rights to an education in Iran. The right to an education is increasingly viewed as a basic human right worldwide but it monitored and regulated in Iran. We see education is strongly correlated to economic growth and political stability. It nurtures awareness, liberation, critical thinking, and success.
The rise of independent women’s rights activists is due to developments in technologies and increasing participation in digital spaces. The reform movement in Iran in the 1990’s encouraged secular thought and feminist thinking. This challenged Iran’s traditional structure by raising self-awareness of social issues, notably women’s rights issues. The emergence of social media has been a great tool to abolish pre-conceived notions of Iranian Women and have gave them a platform to reach out to the world. The media shapes the worlds opinion by deciding what and what not to broadcast. Social media has aided the empowerment of women by attracting global recognition. It gives a voice to the most marginalized groups in society and energizes activists to spread information and create discussions around the world, instantly. Social issues can no longer be hidden from the world by the Iranian government because public scrutiny forces their actions into light, and holds them accountable for wrongful discourse. Bloggers continue to demand social justice and refuse to be silent, knowing there is a possibility of harassment or jail time.
Feminism and activism pose a direct threat to the current power balances in Iran. Media of all forms is a great way to raise important questions and start conversations about women’s lack of rights in Iran. Communication technologies including Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc. creates a stage for awareness and participation. Digital and social media is a very powerful tool and one of the most effective ways to advocate for women’s rights. The future gains of these technology platforms are endless. We can note that technology presents its own challenges in itself, because it is difficult to regulate and is quickly revolving. Women contributing equally to society will have an immense impact on socio-economic, social, and political development. Women being allowed to participate in society will not only benefit women, but all Iranian citizens; and on a bigger scope, the world.

Shouldn't Yalda be the primary name for the Yalda festival in the holidays section? Chelleh seems better to follow as the "also known as" in my opinion. WoziSSL (talk) 07:45, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
I used the title 1979 Revolution instead of the Iranian Revolution. Because the Iranian Revolution is a fundamentally vague title. The event cannot be regarded as "Iranian", because the target wasn't about the nationality, and that is a quite imprecise title; and also not as "Islamic", because the target was about freedom and a political and economic progress, and the religious rule was gradually imposed, embedded over a "republic". Besides, no such name is used in Iran for this event; the common non-controversial title is "Enqelāb e 57" ("Revolution of (the year) 1357" (according to the Persian calendar)), referring to an event in a certain time.

ye/e, meaning "of", is a preposition in Persian language.
Ye is used after the words ending with a vowel (e.g. pari ye jangal, "fairy of (the) woods"); and e is used after the words ending with consonants (e.g. pardis e man, "paradise of mine").
It is a separate (class of) word, and it must be written separately in sentences, just like the English of and the French de.
However, we have many articles here in which this preposition is hyphenated; which means it is attached to the previous word with a hyphen. This composition is fundamentally wrong, because ye/e is not a syllable, and it doesn't share a single role with another word.
This preposition is used on the page of Iran several times, and we should consider the mentioned issue about it.

Is Iran a totalitarian dictatorship? I'd say no. A totalitarian dictatorship implies, firstly, that, the state holds total control over society and seeks to control all aspects of life. In Iran, individual freedoms are seriously restricted, but there's certainly no total control - things like compulsory veil-wearing for women are less strict than countries like Saudi Arabia. There's also some democratic freedom, as evidenced by the election of Hassan Rouhani over less moderate candidates. Is it a dictatorship? Again, I'd say no - it's certainly not governed by a single dictator, but as a mixture of a theocracy and a limited parliamentary democracy. IMO, then, the addition of that category to the article makes no sense. Rwenonah (talk) 19:14, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
The Infobox states Iran's land area as 1,648,195 square kilometers or 636,372 square miles. In actuality, since a kilometer is six tenths of a mile, that would be 988,917 square miles; in other words almost twice the size of Alaska or four times the size of Texas or approximately the size of the United States east of the Mississippi River, meaning any military adventure taken there should be considered very carefully. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.242.248.88 (talk) 03:04, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

I've locked the article, due to the ongoing edit war. If I were to block Aidepikiwnirotide, it would prevent him/her from discussing the issue. Therefore, I'm going to assume that they are mature enough to discuss the issue - which seems to revolve around the addition (or not) of an image showing the tomb of Cyrus the Great. I will admit I know little of Iran, and nothing of the Achaemenid Empire (not even looked at the article as I write this), so therefore I consider myself completely uninvolved in the issues. It needs to be explained why the image should be included (or not) in the article and a consensus formed as to its inclusion (or not). Mjroots (talk) 20:03, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
P.S. The following text is just my personal opinion and not any more: in my opinion, despite good intent of Reza Shah, he had to keep Iran as native name and Persia as western name to avoid such these problems. sometimes some people deem Iran is a new country and Persia doesn't exist any more. Aidepikiwnirotide (talk) 22:53, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
@Brustopher and Aidepikiwnirotide: Please note, the terms Persia and Persian are basically pointing to only one of the founding tribes of the Iranian society. But non-Persian speakers of Persian language, without considering ethnic differences, also occasionally introduce themselves as Persians. This generic usage is actually what can cause a confusion in an article which clarifies the Iranian society to be formed by the divided "Persian, Median, and Parthian tribes."
Practically, all of the founding tribes of the country's society have been referred to as Iranian, both by the native individuals and (since the recognition by the order of Reza Shah) by the West. To realize why this term can cover all of the founding tribes of the nation, it is necessary to note that the word Iran is a derivative of the Sassanid term eran, which itself derives from the Proto-Indo-European etymon aryo; and the English term Aryan is a modern derivative of this etymon, which refers to the Iranian speakers of Indo-European languages, who are of Proto-Indo-European ethnicity, and are the founding tribes of the nation.
(Read: Aryan#Etymology and Indo-European migrations)
That is why I have replaced the words Persia and Persian with Iran and Iranian, while referring to the country and the nationality of its peoples. I also believe that this information should be added to the section of Etymology.
–Rye-96 (talk) 14:49, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
What is more important than "meaning" of name, is the "name" itself. My purpose is to prevent possible confusion by using both historic names of Persia and Iran simultaneously, otherwise we need always to attach history of Iran to old Persia. It must be also considered we are editing the English page of Iran, so, consequently we need to consider usual western name of Iran (i.e Persia that is used yet informally) without considering ethnic issues, if we want to represent well current Iran.

There are loads of dead links on the Iran page. There are also links which reference things which are over a decade old and lack current value. Some opinions and facts which are older than ten years old lack relevance, and I have made a point to remove all such references and links. Overtime, I will find more current references that are younger than ten years of age. The dead links should not be reinstated as it means that the article will have information being referenced by sources which do not exist. (It potentially also creates an issue that a user could also 'make up' a reference and claim that it's dead, in the hopes that such a claim be bought). Suffice it to say that none of this is tolerable, and the dead links will be kept out of the article. For what it's worth, most of the dead links have secondary references which aren't dead. I have checked some of the dead links and this is very much the case. I thus ask editors to please stop adding dead links to the article and to remove dead links because they are unhelpful and counterproductive in the verifiability of the Iran article.
