I propose a change in the description of a picture. Change "Sun (far right) – Earth (far left) and Lunar phases" to "Sun (far right) – Full moon (far left) and other Lunar phases. Earth is missing, it should be placed in the centre of the circle of Lunar phases." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_phase JUDr. David Uhlir (talk) 08:33, 27 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Done Changed the image caption, using the wording from another article. RudolfRed (talk) 00:44, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

The name section says his name came from a persian word birun while its totaly a big scandal becasue bituni is the city he was born in him not outskirt. Irani2024 (talk) 19:01, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Because its based on WP:RS, unlike your claims. Though it's clear that you don't care about WP:RS, and that despite being named "Irani"2024, you're clearly not one [1]. Have you edited here before? HistoryofIran (talk) 13:06, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

scame in geographic state

Al Biruni is not from Iran. He is just a persian speaker scholar and it is not a reason to be from Iran. Instead he belongs to old Afg ghaznavid empire and his land was Uzbekistan. for more details check below https://www.britannica.com/biography/al-Biruni Subhan Ahmad KDR (talk) 12:03, 5 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

There has been an error in the origin of Al Biruni's name. His name originated from the word 'burun', which means nose. Hence his facial feature was the cause of speculation among his contemporaries.

This section "Al-Biruni's name is derived from the Persian word bērūn or bīrūn ("outskirts"), as he was born in an outlying district of Kath, the capital of the Afrighid kingdom of Khwarazm.' should be changed to 'His name originated from the word 'burun', which means nose, because he had a very big nose. Hence his facial feature was the cause of speculation among his contemporaries.' [1] Usgoblin (talk) 05:49, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I don't think that source looks good enough William M. Connolley (talk) 11:45, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wait, really? I don't see how this is user-generated or potentially biased. (Probably because I speak none of the languages the site is available in, forcing me to use google translate to verify.) ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 11:54, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm sorry. I couldn't find a source in English. All the available sources are in Russian. Usgoblin (talk) 17:39, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Sources in foreign languages usually aren't an issue at all. They don't need to be English (although encouraged). ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 23:08, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
The language isn't the problem, that page's author is anonymous and it cites no source for that claim. Hi! (talk) 23:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
