editHi Championmin from a balmy spring evening in Melbourne.
Alas, I can read almost nothing of the Persian language outside of what Ustad Sahib Google Translate tells me.
Could you possibly look into this?
Peter in Australia aka Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 11:50, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply] ×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
My mental breakthroughs:
My first (I was upset by your words here):
I'm sorry. that's my best try! go with it if you see it! Championmin (talk) 17:20, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My second (I'm angry and rude here):
Oh, I forgot to say that I wrote this for you with Google Translate. It was not worth typing! Championmin (talk) 17:26, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My third (I calmed down and confessed, And I ran away with "bye"):
Apart from the tongue wound, to be honest, I use Google because I'm a bit lazy and my grammar is not good. At the same time, I spend my idle time with wiki. I have no other entertainment at the moment. In any case, my translation is like machine, you are correct. bye Championmin (talk) 17:34, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My fourth (It occurred to me to enlighten you about lit. name etc):
To be honest, "Operation Farmandeh Kole Ghowa" means "Commander-in-Chief Operation" (I have said in the first line of the article (lit. etc)), but I didn't translate it because it was a specific name for the operation. That is, if you tell an Iranian official in the United Nations: "Operation Farmandeh Kole Ghowa", he knows what you are saying. But if you tell him "Commander-in-Chief Operation", he says I don't know and gets lost in the crowd. Difference requires compromise and forgiveness from things that the other party does not have. Meanwhile, as an Iranian, I am only willing to meet you at the UN. You go to the judge one way. I lose unfairly. 10 < 100. This is known. But if you come to Tehran, I can tell you the pure meaning of Rumi's Persian poems. There are several coffee shops on our street. I usually go to the street every few hours and smoke a cigarette. People smile. It is commuting. Have a nice evening if it is evening there. It's night here with these words... Championmin (talk) 18:11, 4 October 2024 (UTC) Championmin (talk) 18:13, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
My 5th (I continued, ):
- If you say: Commander-in-Chief to an ordinary Iranian, he will put it in the dictionary. There, it means the leader. Then an ordinary Iranian thinks that you are talking about the leader of his/her country. They are very prejudiced. But not me, I am not interested in politics. I collect knowledge and love with myself and others only to deliver to others (smile! یادت میاد؟). Championmin (talk) 18:22, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
My 6th (I wanted to be mysterious here, But if you translated this with Google Translate, you would understand that I am a very simple person):
- ممنون میشم اگه جواب بدی، با نوشتن اینا به شوق امدم و تپش قلب گرفته ام.
- use ustad sahib ... i say Ostad Saheb. It means that it teaches things to you (>ustad) and owns you (>sahib)! Championmin (talk) 18:27, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
My next and next and next... Go with it :)
- It teaches things to me, yes (my Ostad lit. my master), but he does not own me (no sahib!)
- My owner is the space in which I walk. The space where sounds and pictures are transmitted in it, is the place that raised me. That's my God. I can't escape from her. Wherever I go, I am inside it, the space around me swallowed me. The space around me includes: People, sounds, pavement, air, cars, my computer, wiki and also you ... every thing you can see, everything is created from the same basic material: life force. You are walking in the unity.
- >>>I have learned these ^ from Rumi. Eight hundred years ago, he lived around here.
- If I want to tell you about other cultures that I researched: Don Juan (teacher of Carlos Castaneda) says: The universe is a living thing. The universe is female. She is the mother and the creator of every human being.
- me?
- She creates time for you by moving the planets according to a great intelligence. If we remove all objects, only black matter remains. Black matter is nothingness. When there is no planet to move, the existence of time expires. When the sole of your foot is on the black matter, In fact, you have stepped on nowhere, if there is no time and no place (space), Well, you will no longer exist, Your body is "your place" (space) and your mind is "your time".
- The universe as a whole wants to communicate with you. She can talk to you through the mouths of all people, see you through the eyes of all people, and hear you through the ears of all people. Before you and me, She owns everything. She created all the facilities, so She owns them all. It is your owner too. It also own me. She is typing these words for you with Championmin's hand! They say that you should train under a good master for several years before facing the universe as the whole. The whole is too cruel to tell the truth. She has no human characteristics. In fact, She created human characteristics, She herself is different from it. Indians call her (universe) the great oppressor. universe as Forest lion, you as A deer that does not know is a deer. You will definitely be hunted. Championmin (talk) 19:12, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
did you know me?

Aisxulos
editYou left a gentle and constructive message about OR at User talk:Aisxulos back on 12 October. Today they've made the same problematic (well, downright wrong) edit with the same summary[1], and still haven't edited any talk page. Do you want to follow up in some way? I've tried edit summaries, the article talk page, the editor's talk page and ANI and have quite run out of ideas. I suppose we can just keep reverting. NebY (talk) 16:46, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
