Greetings

Safavid dynasty ‎is a controversial topic. I know that you mean well, and your intention is to re-write and clean-up the page, but you deleted a lot of useful references in the process. Usually for such major-re-writes, it's recommended that the editor drafts the changes on his own user space, before moving it to the main article spaces. It would be greatly appreciated if you could do the re-write on your user space, and then present it on the article talk page for discussion and input. Regards.

Ghotbi jaan, you're missing the point. These academic citations are needed because certain fringe theorists even dispute that Safavids were Iranian. You remove the citations, you open a pandora's box. You're also removing the entire background section, without a consensus. This is not good. As I said before, I know that you mean well, but you're new to Wikipedia, you don't know what we deal with here, on daily basis. The citations are there, to refute wild claims about the background of Sadavids. Kurdo777 (talk) 20:49, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Safavid dynasty

Instead of making terse statements on someone's talk page, it is customary to use the article's(Safavid) talk page to explain what you are doing and why you are doing that. Thanks. --Kansas Bear (talk) 21:31, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Edit - Great Seljuk Empire

Hello Mghotbi 85.

I am contacting you regarding an edit you made on the page Great Seljuq Empire. Here is exactly what I wrote on the talk page:

Hello, I was hoping somebody could give me the exact quote stating that the Seljuk Empire was known as the "Persian Empire." I have attempted to find the source listed, but I could not get my hands on it. I have never seen the Seljuk Empire referenced to as the "Persian Empire," and my real question is whether the reference to the Seljuks as "Persian Empire" is a widespread thing, or merely one writer/historian's opinion. If this is so, I believe that adding the name "Persian Empire" to the info-box is unnecessary and maybe even misleading. If I am wrong, I will gladly accept my mistake.

As you were the user to have done the edit, I hope you will be able to answer my question. If the use of "Persian Empire" is not a widespread name for the Great Seljuks, I think it is the best to remove it from the info box. I have never heard it used before, so I do not believe it is a term oft used, and therefore it does not belong there, but as I have stated, if I am mistaken, I will accept my mistake.

Thank you. ---Seljuq--- (talk) 04:27, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

I agree with the user above me, your edit is not backed up by a good source because your edit has no linking to a source where this is stated, please provide us more information. Redman19 (talk) 21:18, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your article Safavid dynasty - it doesn't even exist on Croatian Wikipedia but I'm planing to make something similar very soon. I also share the same interest about Iranian history like you do, and I wrote some of most comprehensive articles about Iranian dynasties, places and peoples like Median Empire, Achaemenid Empire, Persepolis, Kurds, etc. Keep a good work, like I do! ;) --109.60.3.75 (talk) 22:53, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
