@Dr. Grampinator: Assassin, Nizari, Batini, Mulhid, (and sometimes Isma'ili) all refer to the same thing, which is the Nizari Ismailis of the Alamut Period (the use of the term "Assassin" is declining in scholarly sources). Both Mawdud ibn Altuntash and Aqsunqur al-Bursuqi were killed by the Nizaris/Assassins. --Z 11:51, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
Well, they don't all refer to the same thing as you well know, but that's not the point. Edits are supposed to enhance an article, and your changes just added confusion. Internal links are supposed to provide additional clarification. Neither one you added does so. By throwing in a Persian reference that most people can't read and Cook's article just muddy the waters. Why not use the original sources that are accessible to anyone?
