Politics of Khuzestan[edit]

You've been selectively removing and, transferring content on Politics of Khuzestan, Arabs of Khuzestan claiming that you're doing all this due "the result of the AfD". That's a false claim, "The result was Rename to Politics of Khuzestan and keep for now". [1]. This is gaming the system, please revert all of your edits until a consensus has been reached on the discussion pages of related articles. --Mardavich 07:36, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the AfD was to keep the article, but to sort out POV issues, which I am doing. The proposer of the AfD argued that content should be reallocated to other articles that are more relevant and this was not contested by me or anyone else voting either to delete or to keep. In fact, you argued to merge the article with other articles! Nothing has been removed from Wikipedia, just reorganised and shortened. Changing the name of the article from Ethnic Politics of Khuzestan to Politics of Khuzestan obviously requires a different editorial approach, with some sections removed and some added.--الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz 11:52, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If the content you are removing from Politics of Khuzestan is contentious (which it obviously is), I would recommend not transferring it into the Arabs of Khuzestan until the material has been discussed. While it needs excising from the politics article, a merge should be a considered blending of content, and not all content may be suitable. That said, bold changes can provoke a discussion, so provided it doesn't break out into an edit war I don't see anything wrong with the occasional bold merge.

Yomangani: I am trying to do one thing at a time; I don't have time to spend hours and hours on this. I have transferred content and once I've finished my edits to Politics of Khuzestan, I'll move onto the other articles and ensure that there is a blending of content that ensures balance. There is nothing to stop someone putting a POV tag on the Arabs of Khuzestan article in the mean time. I'd just ask for a bit of patience and when I've finished, no doubt there will be editors who will begin disputing!--الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz 12:23, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, my suggestion was meant to be helpful in avoiding those disputes in the meantime: you can always remove the information without transferring it over, as it will be available in the history for you transfer at a later date. Anyway, I'm not pushing you to work on it - I'd like to think of myself as disinterested party (otherwise I wouldn't have closed the AfD). Cheers, Yomangani ^talk 12:31, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ahwaz, please revert yourself on Arabs of Khuzestan. You're simply transferring the POV ethnic content of Politics of Khuzestan into Arabs of Khuzestan without allowing other editors to discuss the issue. This is gaming the system, please revert all of your edits on Arabs of Khuzestan until a consensus has been reached on the discussion page. --Mardavich 12:40, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why not just put a POV tag on the page, discuss the content and make changes to what has been added?--الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz 12:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's what you should be doing, your actions are not in sync with the result of the AfD. The consensus of the editors was not to move the POV bits of Politics of Khuzestan into other articles, creating a bigger problem. The renaming is not just a cosmetic procedure, please revert yourself on Arabs of Khuzestan. --Mardavich 13:03, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mediation[edit]

Ok, first things first, please tell me what happened. Include as many other people as possible that I can also talk to in order to get a comprehensive understanding of the situation. Yankee Rajput 20:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you say "the great majority of Iranian Arabs, are descendants of the Aryans or the non-semitic indigenous peoples living on the Iranian plateau before the Aryans arrived" on User:Khorshid/Misconceptions. I would be interested to know if you have any sources to support this, as it is an issue that has generated considerable heated debate on the Arabs of Khuzestan article.--الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz 00:03, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That article is by Zereshk, it was going to be deleted so I put it on my userpage. Khorshid 00:25, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mediation II[edit]

Thanks for the information. Do you mind if I ask more questions later if needed? I am going to ask all parties now for their views. Yankee Rajput 01:18, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you...[edit]

Salam Ahwaz, how are you doing? thanks a lot for reverting my user page. Jidan 13:03, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I totally understand how you feel. The same thing happens to List of Arab scientists and scholars, Arabian Gulf, etc. If you have the time, you can open an arbitration (or whatever you call it) and pull as many neutral users as possible. I have put the articles you told me on my watchlist. Your info seems to get removed instantly by iranian nationlist. BTW, as time goes by, everybody will figure out that Wikiepdia contains a lot of rubish, specially in politic related articles. You shoud really think of making a website and posting your articles there, that way you will get the credit and nobody will revert it. Jidan 13:58, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion on WP:AN/I[edit]

Yes, you did delete my message. You don't think it's against the rules? Well, it's impolite. However, I assumed you did it by accident. I linked to the diff that shows you deleting my post. I accidently deleted my own post once, then responded to it, then became confused about what I was talking about. KP Botany 00:56, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note to admins[edit]

This is just to inform you that I have been reverting vandalism to Ethnic minorities in Iran and Arvand Free Zone by User:Mardavich and User:Behaafarid. They are suddenly reverting all my recent edits on these articles after I voiced an opinion on Talk:Persian Gulf , which User:Mardavich disagreed with. They have never had any previous involvement with these articles. Their reversions include fact tags, wikilink updates and legitimate edits to ensure NPOV. As such, they are vandalising these articles and consequently my reversions do not count as a breach of 3RR.--الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz 13:27, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You desrve this...[edit]

		The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
		For your excellent and long-lasting contributions effort to articles related to the Arab ethnic minority in Iran, such as Politics of Khuzestan, Arabs of Khuzestan, Ethnic minorities in Iran , Human rights in Islamic Republic of Iran, and many others. Keep up the good work, and stay coooool! Jidan 20:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, it took that long. I hope this barnstar will encourage you to continue editing. BTW, correct the barnstar if there are any grammatical mistakes :). And always be smart and stay cool Jidan 20:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Election results[edit]

I think these results from Ministry of Internal Affairs, that could be considered as the most reliable source in this case, might help you. But unfortunately it is not a multilingual website. Hessam 17:43, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think a reliable or official statistical source could be found. Maybe it's better to focus on each person and link him to his political party. Also you can't find an Injective Function for this! Hessam 18:40, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page from Majlis website contains full results. Also This might be helpful. Hessam 19:48, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ويكيبيديا - الموسوعة الحرة[edit]

Hey Ahwaz,

Do you edit in the Arabic wikipedia? Jidan 13:46, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think I might, although it takes me a while to type in Arabic. Are they friendly on Arabic wikipedia? The problem is that English-speakers rely on English Wikipedia for information which is often wrong or distorted. We need more Arabs editing English Wikipedia.

--الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz 13:56, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We are veeeery friendly there and we will help you in anyway. We are in short of people there. We have only about 22,490 articles, its a joke when you realize that we are 300 million people, while Danish Wikipedia has 55.339 articles with 5.5 million people. And since you are blocked now for 1 week, why not give it a shoot? Most arabs don't know the situation there in Ahwaz, you have to let them know! Jidan 14:08, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Comments[edit]

You seem to be informed about Iran's politics. Please share your insight at Talk:Ali Khamenei if you have time.--Patchouli 08:07, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
