@Cwmhiraeth: Thanks for the copyedit. As for the long sentence you mentioned here, I think Saff V. meant to write the following: "Dissatisfaction of Iranian people and scholar had arose as a consequence of some incidents, by the time Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar came back to Iran. Finally, by dismissal of Ein al-Dowleh, Shah issued a constitutional order." @Saff V.: Can you comment on it, please? --Mhhossein talk 06:01, 2 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Some points

@Rachel Helps (BYU): Thanks for the edits. However, please note that:

  1. Iranica does mention Behbahani's sit-in in Rey. "...and the next day, at the suggestion of Ṭabāṭabāʾī, the two moǰtaheds led the ʿolamāʾ of the capital out of Tehran to take refuge at Shah ʿAbd-al-ʿAẓīm," the article reads. Please note that Shah ʿAbd-al-ʿAẓīm is located in Rey and that the source says nothing about Behbahani being the leader of the sit-in.
  2. I made some changes to the 'Assassination' section to make it more accurate. --Mhhossein talk 04:50, 4 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Mhhossein:, I'm not familiar with Iranian history at all. I tried to simplify the text, but I made a mistake. Iran and its Place Among Nations simply said that the sit-in was "aided by Behbahani's association with the British." I've reverted it back to the previous wording: "seeking sanctuary in Rey after objections were raised to the rise in the price of sugar, and punishing the merchants involved." I'm confused about this part of the sentence because it says that Behbahani punished the merchants, when it was Alāʾ-al-dawla who punished them, according to the Iranica source.
The main reason I changed the assassination section was to reflect the in-line citations, so I'm glad you were able to add the information I took out, supported by another source. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:06, 7 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Hi Rachel Helps (BYU). The true version is that it was Alāʾ-al-dawla who made the punishment. --Mhhossein talk 17:08, 8 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
