"to make control" - phrase

"If one is diabetic, it is essential to make control of one's blood sugar levels a priority." - Pedantic, yes, but "to make control" is indeed correct grammar. It may well be untrue in the article... your version may well be more correct, and I defer to your strongly held opinion. Thank you for your edits, and I am sorry that my reversion upset you. All the best, and happy editing.- Sinneed 03:09, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Requesting help to give the Zoroastrian POV in a Persian history article

Hi, I'm referring to Muslim Conquest of Persia#Religion article. Here, the article seems to be focusing on only the positive aspects of the Muslim Conquest of Persia, and gives little to no details about the negative aspects, such as burning of temples, killing of priests, etc. I tried to rewrite the article as shown in this revision, using the following 3 sources:

1. Zoroastrianism (EconomicExpert.com)
2. Edward Granville Browne, A year amongst the Persians, Adam & Charles Black, 1893, pg 594
3. HISTORY OF ZOROASTRIANS IN IRAN UNDER THE CALIPHS (642 CE To the 10th Century) (Zoreled.org)

from the Persecution of Zoroastrians article which you appear to have helped writing, however the user claims that those sources do not meet WP:RS, particularly since 2 of those are websites although I've tried to explain to him that only personal blogs/promotional websites, are not credible sources. I'd like to welcome you to join the discussion and to explain why those sources meet WP:RS, or to help find other sources which will help make the article more objective. If you would like to make other edits to make that article more neutral, those would be welcome as well.

Please feel free to respond on my talk page if you'd like to discuss this further. Thanks.

Hi, thought I would respond to your comments on your own talk page.

I'm not a Zoro, I'm an ex-muslim - now an atheist, but I would just like to keep the article objective & neutral. Currently the article is too biased in favor of the Muslim side of the story.

The timeline for the article has been established to be only the Rashidun invasion of Persia. We've also proposed that the article be renamed to 'Rashidun Conquest of Persia'.

The problem currently now is only finding published sources, since I don't have access to a good library currently. I've done some internet research and found a few WP:RS sources like BBC, Britannica, and Encyclopedia Iranica which mention Prosecution of Zoroastrians following Rashidun invasion. I should be able to rewrite the 'Religion' section of the article soon to balance things out and give also the Zoroastrian POV of the invasion.

I would definitely like to add a 'Motivation' section to the article, if you can think of any published sources which give some insight of this, that would definitely be helpful in creating this section.

One more thing I found on this article, which you listed in your article is the following claims:

'All non-Moslems were made to pay an extra tax called the Jizya. The penalty for not paying, was death, enslavement or imprisonment. Even when the Zoroastrians paid the tax, they were subjected to insults by the tax-collectors. ' But I've been told that I can't use that website as a source since it is Zoroastrian website and not a 3rd party site. If you can think of any WP:RS sources which confirm this claim, that would definitely help and I would be able to add that claim to the article. Cheers and good luck with your exams :). digitwoman (talk) 12:46, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Non-free files and rationales

In order for non-free files such as this one to be used in articles, they need to have separate, detailed, named rationales on the image's page. As of this message, there isn't one on that image's page for this article. The only rationale there is for a different article. Do you understand?--Rockfang (talk) 11:09, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
