Talk:Mohammad Reza Zahedi

Bad grammar

Previous statement:

 ... and was one of the top commanders of the Quds Force at the time of his death.

can't be separated to a new sentence like the current:

 At the time of his death, Quds Force in Lebanon and Syria,[2] designated as a terrorist organisation by Israel, Canada, the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain.

That just doesn't make sense and doesn't convey any meaningful information about Mohammad Reza Zahedi. Algotr (talk) 11:14, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

@Algotr Dude that's what I was saying. That's why I reverted @Makeandtoss's edit. Alexysun (talk) 18:01, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

I think we should clarify that Israel has been accused of the attack. This is the line the BBC is using https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68708923 I al also unclear why we are using Axios as a source when we have a clear BBC article.Tennisist123 (talk) 20:54, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Following up here, the article about the event where Mohammed Zahedi died 2024_Iranian_consulate_airstrike_in_Damascus, only goes so far as to say Israel is accused. These articles should match. Tennisist123 (talk) 10:58, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

On his death, Israel has not been confirmed as the attacker like the article leads users to believe. https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-794796 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgomez620 (talk • contribs) 14:20, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

The period before Quds force should be changed into a comma. 128.239.208.22 (talk) 14:58, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Terrorist designation in opening paragraph

@Alexysun: The terrorist designation of IRGC should not be in the opening paragraph per MOS:OPEN. This has been standard procedure across WP and you can check Osama Bin Laden's article. Makeandtoss (talk) 15:15, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

@Alexysun: The above discussion on grammar or style has nothing to do with the point here. The terrorist designation doesn't belong in the opening paragraph as demonstrated by the example cited here. Waiting for your self-revert. Makeandtoss (talk) 09:10, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

At bottom of current entry, change linked text "attacked several Iranian cities" to "targeted an air defense radar site near Isfahan, in central Iran" since this is consistent with the linked text (2024 Israeli strikes on Iran) and more accurate. Bgrove1 (talk) 04:56, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

The rank of Mohammad Reza Zahedi should be corrected, as according to Persian-language sources it is Major-General of the IRGC, not Brigadier-General. It remains unclear, however, whether his promotion was posthumous, as Persian/Farsi-language media has no mentions of him before his death.

Wikilink the countries

Bahrain, Canada, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, and the United States have designated either or both the IRGC and/or the Quds Force as terrorist organizations. I would like to wikilink the countries if anyone doesn't have any oppose. ExclusiveEditor _{Notify Me!} 16:08, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

The manual of style says major countries generally shouldn't be linked, as most readers are already familiar. Bahrain probably could be, and perhaps Sweden (not sure how well known they are globally), but linking the others probably isn't necessary. Jamedeus (talk) 17:42, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

 Done Been bold and did it for now, and changed order a bit. ExclusiveEditor _{Notify Me!} 18:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
