Talk:Rudaki

list of extnt publications

I would like to suggest that in listing publications by authors such as Rudaki, it would be a) useful, b) respectful, c) a demonstration of Wkepedia's true universality, to also list publications in the original language, or the most diffused closest language (Urdu, for example?), and not limit them to european languages.

Regards

Urdu? Rudaki lived in Panjrud (now Panjakent, Tajikistan) and he is considered a founder of Tajik-Persian classical literature.

Not long ago a book Father of Songs by Sassan Tabatabai was published. It is said that this book is the first of its kind which provides English translations of Rudaki's poetry.--Ibrahimjon (talk) 09:13, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Copy edit - June 2008

Hey all, I did a copy edit for language and have removed the copy-edit tag. I added expert tags for certain sections, because certain phrases are very ambiguous but can only be improved by an expert, for example:

• "he was the first who impressed upon every form of epic, lyric and didactic poetry its peculiar stamp and its individual"
• "unequalled models of a refined and delicate taste"

QPQ: Done.

Overall:

Both hooks look good from a technical point of view. My personal preference would be the first one - I always feel quotes should carry the citation with them, so if anyone feels the second is more interesting, then maybe it should be reworded slightly? @HistoryofIran and Onegreatjoke:, do you have any thoughts on this - or would you rather the first hook was used?

Is there a reason that his ethnicity is not mentioned?

Iranians/persians in the east were called as "Tajiks" at the time of Samanid Empire. Currently, this identity is used throughout Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and China.

It would be proper to correctly point out his ethnicity as "..was a *Tajik* poet, singer and musician who..".

"The first major poet to become known for writing in New Persian was Abū ‘Abdullāh Ja‘far b. Muḥammad Rūdakī, a native of the village now known as Panjrūd in the Zarafshan Valley of northern Tajikistan.", p73, https://cmes.fas.harvard.edu/publications/history-tajiks-iranians-east Wikihelperr134 (talk) 23:58, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello. It originally said "Persian poet", I removed it per MOS:ETHNICITY. Also, Iranians/Persians were called a variety of things, Tajik among them (which was also used in the west [2]). Still, "Tajik" was not an ethnicity like the way it is today. --HistoryofIran (talk) 01:35, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. I am new, not aware of all the nuisances yet: Is there a reason (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdowsi)'s ethnicity is mentioned as Persian then? Wikihelperr134 (talk) 07:19, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Not particularly. That article hasn't received much love unfortunately. --HistoryofIran (talk) 10:39, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
