new edits

I made a little edit but kept the previous version which was mainly about Zoroastrianism "somewhat unchanged". I think editor interested in this relationship (Sasan and Zoroastrianism) should develop this further and use better sources. If noone reacts I may do it myself.

The Zoroastrianism project has a huge backlog of articles to create and expand. There is much work to be done and a low number of people trying to eliminate the backlog. Thus, for this article, please take the initiative and do it yourself. When the project gets the time to get to this article, it will improve upon your work. warrior4321 01:34, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Protection

I've just fully protected the article for three days due to the ongoing edit warring. Please discuss the matter on the talk page instead of continually reverting. Mark Arsten (talk) 17:30, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Mark. Thanks for your interest in the case. If you look at IP's edits, there is no substance to them. The IP mechanically changes names to unattested variations. This includes changing the destinations for links to broken ones. He actually changes the name of a title of a book, as if his preference could apply to that. I told him explicitly at User_talk:2.186.180.59#Sasan why this was inappropriate, but he ignores and repeats. I don't believe he can actually understand what is written, though, due to language differences (see for example his contribution to this talk page: [1]). --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 17:43, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Some Info needs more citation

Article misses one important reference to the historical Sassan's identity, that in my view is the most accurate. The book Karnamak i Ardashir i Papakan starts with a clear introductory to Sassan:

"Sassan shapan i papag bud. U ne-danest ke Sassan haz tokhmake dara hast."

(Sassan was shepherd of Papag, He (Papag) didn't know Sassan has seed of Darius in himself.)

Also article mentions he was a great hunter, as well as a high Zoroastrian priest. This seems to be just a personal view as we know high zoraostrian mupats (priests) are vegetarian. Let alone that hunting is a strange habit for a holy man.

I will edit the roots and meaning of the word when i get enough online references. --AccomplishedNoob (talk) 20:37, 11 February 2015 (UTC)Sassan
