Death

Why is there text about the death of Ali Reza and the remaining family in the text of her death section? These seem very out of place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.97.244.194 (talk) 00:31, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Deleted "Category:Royalty who committed suicide" because the evidence favors accidental overdose (perhaps combined with ME) rather than suicide. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1335290/Shahs-daughter-stole-to-fuel-her-drug-habit.html "A post-mortem examination showed that shortly before her death she had consumed Seconal, the commercial name of the anti-insomnia barbiturate quinalbarbitone, five times higher than the minimum lethal dose, as well as a non-lethal quantity of cocaine. The hearing was told that the amount taken did not automatically signify the intention to take an overdose because the recipient could have developed a strong tolerance to barbiturates through repeated consumption." JustinReilly (talk) 18:14, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

What "evidence" favors accidental vs intentional overdose? It's pretty clear that she died from an overdose, and had stolen the barbiturates she took. Although opinion pieces like this say it was suicide, and other reports like this one prominently state that both sister and brother committed suicide, it's clear that the medical examiner in London declined to make a statement regarding cause of death. The family members opinions on the matter have to be discounted given the stigma associated with suicide.

In sum, I agree with removing "suicide" absent a reliable source, but I disagree with your comment about the "evidence" - if anything, the circumstances favor suicide but adding that to an article would be WP:SYNTH absent a reliable source. -- Scray (talk) 20:51, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Unsorted text

How do we fix this box? None of these titles are used or claimed by the family in any official manner.Mowens35 19:00, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

The princess "spent most of her time commuting between her home in Connecticut and Europe"? So, she LITERALLY spent the majority of her time in transit? Probably not, so this sentence should be clarified or sourced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.31.206.84 (talk) 18:13, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

The titles are wrong. It is the 'imperial' family, not the 'royal' family; her mother is/was 'Empress'/'Shahbanuo' (the correct Iranian title with its own internal link), not 'Queen' Farah. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.239.152.174 (talk) 05:42, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Secobarbital vs Seconal

In this edit I reverted a change from "secobarbital" to "Seconal" because the former is a direct link to our article and also represents the International Nonproprietary Name for this drug. Subsequently, another editor restored their change to Seconal claiming in the edit summary that they are the same thing; however, "Seconal" is a proprietary commercial name, and might differ from country to country. The INN is preferable in a worldwide encyclopedia (hence the title of the secobarbital article). -- Scray (talk) 18:00, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Secobarbital is marketed in most countries as Seconal. And even in countries where it is not it is still universally recognized. Diazepam for example is marketed Antenex in Australia but it is still referred to as Valium in the vernacular. If there is any confusion by a future reader as to what exactly Seconal is not only does the article provide a description as well as citing online references they can click on Wikpedia's full article on the subject.

"Universally recognized" is your own opinion - and is obviously not a fact. As I said, I'm not going to edit-war over this, but I think the burden is on you to justify this since you made the change, and I don't think you've succeeded. -- Scray (talk) 02:03, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

"Universally recognized" is not my own opinion when as I've stated before, secobarbital is marketed in most countries as Seconal. Additionally, as I've stated before American propriety names often take precedence over the localized brand name in foreign countries. This is a fact. And I don't need to "justify" anything as there is nothing wrong with my edit. So if you do not wish to "Edit war" over this then I politely end this conversation.

Semi-protected edit request on 19 December 2016

Please change/delete "She has descended from a line of Kings like Cyrus the Great who descended from Noah and Adam." part, to something like "She was part of the last dynasty to rule Iran, in a country ruled by monarchs for the last 2500 years". I think the current text is misguiding about the Iranian shah dynasties, because Cyrus and Mohammed Reza (Leilas father) aren't even in the same bloodline as far as we know, they belong to 2 different dynasties; the Achaemenides, and the Pahlavis. And likewise the thing about Noah and Adam is based on religious thoughts, and i don't think it's appropriate to link royalties to religious figures. Nb1992 (talk) 08:42, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
