HI, is this IP a sock of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Afghan.Records this one]? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:25, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

:Hi Fylindfotberserk, that's a very good suggestion, but I wouldn't consider it. To put it bluntly, Afghan.Records was incredibly uncivil and dishonest/manipulative, whereas the IP doesn't really strike me as that. HistoryofIran (talk) 16:56, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

::I've observed that the IP geo-locates to Rajasthan or Maharashtra in India (depending on the website) over the years. Even if it is proxy, had to say they are persistent with this one. I wonder who's that. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:18, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi @HistoryofIran, I do remember you recommended a book about Babak Khorramdin Revolt, I wanted to read about it but before I wanted to do that, I was reading about the bio of the book which It says it just talks about the ideology of some irani History figures (Including babak of course) I mean would I find useful informations about babak for example his execution or some of his campaigns? I did some searches and I think I only read about Mohammed humaid al tusi campaign against babak, But I have already added his campaign in the Wikipedia page which ended as babak's victory and execution of Mohammed al tusi. If you still recommend for me the same book that you recommended before, then I will have to read it myself. Best wishes! R3YBOl (talk) 17:51, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

:Hi again R3YBOl. Sorry, but I don't remember the specifics, just that it mentioned Babak and his revolt a decent amount. HistoryofIran (talk) 00:18, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

::I will try to read about it in coming week or in my free time soon because I really want to expand the page. Talking about the page and sources , Why wouldn't I restore the sources you have removed and gonna write On them for example "Primary source says" or "Primary source claims" At least it will make the page look arranged. I would love to hear about your opinion. Huge Respect and regards. R3YBOl (talk) 20:58, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

:::Sorry, but info (WP:PSTS, WP:SCHOLARSHIP and WP:AGE MATTERS) is much more important than how the page looks. You can always fix its state with WP:RS. Best. HistoryofIran (talk) 21:45, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

::::well today I will look further for the book you recommended about babak's rebellion as much as the director of the book is I think british or american that already was against islam lol but I will see what's useful and decent, I would add it to babak khorramdin revolt's page. About the sources you removed, the texts of the campaigns should be deleted right? R3YBOl (talk) 08:37, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::Additionally, I found informations about some of babak's campaigns, for example the mohammed al tusi campaign that ended as babak's victory. Would this be accurate to cite in the page? I really like to know about your opinion about that also. best wishes R3YBOl (talk) 11:43, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

::::::{{tq|About the sources you removed, the texts of the campaigns should be deleted right?}}

:::::::{{tq|Yes, unless there is WP:RS which repeats the same info, which I doubt}}

:::::::Well the sources I have got are mostly primary sources (eg. al tabri, ibn al athir, So many other writers) that talked for example about the same event,same campaign, same battles. I will try my best to find reliable and secondary sources. But one last question and I really do apologize if I am distracting you, Is it fine to cite Sources of arabic scholars?

::::::::::Additionally in the book of the Nativist prophets of early islamic iran, By crone patricia,page 41

::::::::::States The Khurramis of the Jibal rebelled for the fourth time in 218/833, the year in which al-Ma'mün died on the Byzantine frontier, once again striking at a time when the capital was denuded of caliphal troops. This time the whole of the Jibàl was involved, including Isfahàn, Hamadhan, Masabadhan, Mihrijangadhaq, and the two Mahs (Nihawand and Dinawar).*" According to Nizam al-Mulk the Khurramis of Fars also joined and, as on the previous occasion, the rebels were coordinating their activities with Babak (who had been in a state of revolt for some seventeen years by then). They killed tax collectors, plundered travellers, slaughtered Muslims, and took their children as slaves. In Fars they were defeated by the local forces, but at Isfahan, where they were led by one ‘Ali b. Mazdak, they captured Karaj, the centre of the local ruler Abü Dulaf al-Tjli, who was away with most of his troops at the time. Nizàm al-Mulk has them join forces with Babak on the border between the Jibal and Azerbaijan; the Tarikhnama says that Babak sent reinforcements to the Jibal, and al-Ya‘qabi knows them to have defeated the first army that al-Mu'tasim sent against them, led by Hashim b. Batijar.°* But when al-Mu'tasim sent the Tahirid Ishag b. Ibrahim b. Mus'ab against them from Baghdad the revolt was ruthlessly suppressed: 60,000 or 100,000 rebels are said to have been killed, and the rest, said to number 14,000, fled to Byzantium, where they were converted to Christianity and enrolled in the imperial army

::::::::::::"Primary and other" well in my first message I meant among of those 15 Links, only two of them are primary sources and two different ones are not highly reliable..{{tq|And I'm not sure I understand the question in regards to Crone.}} you previously recommended Patricia Crone's book,The nativist prophets of early islamic iran, I found that it supports my point of about that one campaign you previously removed from Babak Khorramdin Revolt (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Babak_Khorramdin_Revolt&diff=prev&oldid=1282363739) sources because that they were not reliable, and I agree with you on that but What I am trying to say is that I found the same information in Patricia Crone's book of The nativist prophets of early islamic iran page:41, for the full information I already typed the whole battle with the year of it. I just wanted to know if it's totally reliable to add this as a citation and edit the battle since it had more deep informations. I wish you got my point. R3YBOl (talk) 13:00, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::::::14 out of 15 those links look like primary sources to me, I am in a bit of hurry so don't have time to check the remaining one right now. If Crone supports whatever you previously added, feel free to remove the CN tag and cite her (though I would be surprised if it's 100% the same as what you added.

::::::::::::::Ok I will work on that, Thank you. R3YBOl (talk) 14:17, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

::::::::::::::Hi @HistoryofIran, I decided to ask you a question here about some book, I didn't really want to create a new Section in your talk page because it's somehow might be annoying and disturbing. Anyways I wanted to question about the page Shapur II's Arab campaign (since you're the creator of the page), We know that this campaign happened in 325, but the thing is that in some Arabic book that it's author is Jawad Ali, And jawad ali is a scholar and a historian, He received a doctorate from the University of Hamburg, and he was a professor at the History department of the University of Baghdad, He did mention about some "Arab retaliation" against shapur II that happened during 363 ( in Battle of Ctesiphon (363)) like Approximately after 5 decades. I was wondering if I can use him as a source to create a section in the page that you have created "Shapur II's Arab campaign", He has talked about a decent amount of info of how arabs were seeking of revenge of the 325 campaign. they participated in capturing Ctesiphon. After the capture of Ctesiphon he didn't mention anything about arabs in the campaign, except that he mentioned that Julian was killed by the sassanians (He didn't mention the arabs involvement during julian's murder which this makes it that arabs have nothing to do with julian and Battle of Samarra (363)) . as I do remember if You flip more pages in the same chapter he did mention again about how shapur and arabs later had peace. This type of context was mentioned in al tabri also. I would like to hear out your opinion since you may know more than I do. since the Book that I am using this time is Written by a scholar and historian. Best R3YBOl (talk) 14:48, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::::::::Hi again R3YBOI. I did a very quick check, and Jawad Ali looks WP:RS to me. I don't how much info that ultimately ends up being, but please just remember that Shapur II's Arab campaign is still about his campaign, so we shouldn't have a info about something else on par with the info about the campaign itself. In other words, the new info should probably be short and concise, as the article itself is quite short. HistoryofIran (talk) 12:38, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::::::::Oh, this has been the topic of discussion before I see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shapur_II%27s_Arab_campaign&action=history]. I would start out with citing what Jawad Ali says in the talk page, page number, name of source, etc etc. HistoryofIran (talk) 19:43, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello, HistoryofIran,

I really appreciate the content work that you do here on the project. But it seems like you make appearances on ANI on a weekly basis. I know that you are a frequent target of other editors due to the subject area that you edit in but looking over some talk pages, I am also seeing you say provocative comments to editors whom you clearly don't have any respect for.

If you believe an editor is not competent, you can critique their work without calling them incompetent. Please focus on the content and do not make snide comments just for the sake of so-so editors being an easy target. I realize that editing articles about Middle East/Asian history can be a minefield but let's try to descalate conflict and try not to bait other editors, can we agree on that? And I'm saying this after reading several article/draft talk pages, I don't want to make this about a specific editor. And I do want to acknowledge that other editors play a big part in making some talk pages a hostile environment. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:15, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hello Liz. Thank you for taking your time to write this, but I have to challenge this; how am I baiting users / making snide/provocative comments? Because that is certainly not the intention. If you're referring to Eminİskandarli, I am showing annoyance in my replies, that's it. If I was truly aiming to bait them, I would not have given them so much WP:ROPE. I gave them several chances to stop insulting me, but as you can see, they insult as they please, "provoking" them is certainly not needed [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Ottoman_occupation_of_southern_Iranian_lands_(1821)&diff=prev&oldid=1279410717]. A very good example is PayamAvarwand, who has attacked me countless times (and not only me), disrupted articles since winter, yet you keep giving them WP:ROPE and thus I did, but so far it has been futile. On that particular user months of WP:ROPE I have tried to give, explaining the rules of this site (which they several times openly said they don't care about), months of cleaning up and months of taking insults (such as ridiculing me for liking beer). That would not be something a user who you're describing would do.

:Here [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Attack_on_Lankaran_(1812)&diff=prev&oldid=1284013820] you indicate that me and Eminİskandarli are "insulting each other" ("Wikipedia is not a forum where editors insult each other."), yet all I did was warn them for their persistent attacks ("Constantly attacking me isn’t going to help unless you’re aiming to get reported by me to WP:ANI. I’ll say it here as well: read WP:NPA and WP:BATTLEGROUND. WP:ASPERSIONS too."), which they then reply to with another another attack ("shut up"). That is not me provoking them nor insulting them, that is them showing why they're WP:NOTHERE. HistoryofIran (talk) 09:57, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

:And they're still attacking me as we speak [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Attack_on_Lankaran_(1812)&diff=prev&oldid=1284069779 And now my page should be destroyed because of a liar]. HistoryofIran (talk) 11:25, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

I am reaching you and others because you have been involved in § this dispute. I sincerely apologize for the issue and starting from now on, I will rewrite all the articles from scratch (or at least try). I have priorities on rewriting some articles, such as Roman–Palmyrene War of 272–273 and Odaenathus' Sasanian Campaign, while others, like Armeno-Sassanid War of 363–371, I will rewrite in User:Hollowww/Valens' Persian campaign at some point. Some other articles will be rewritten, such as the Roman–Parthian War of 194–198, while other, I think, should be deleted, like Caracalla's campaigns of 214–216 and Maximinus' campaigns of 310. If you wish to help me, I appreciate it, contact me in any way and we will see how to manage things.

"Empire of the Iranians" was already used as the translation of "Ērānšahr" in this article’s infobox before, I merely corrected it to how it was before. And besides, I think it is an accurate translation of "Ērānšahr".

“Ērān”, from which the modern name “Iran” deprives from, is the plural form of “Ēr”, an ethnonym used by the peoples of the empire meaning “Aryan” (I.E. “Iranian” since “Aryan” and “Iranian” are the same thing). “Šahr” usually means “land” or “country”, but can be and has been translated to modern English as “realm”, “domain”, “kingdom”, or “empire” depending on the context, and I think “empire” is the most accurate translation of it in this context.

In this war, the Iranians were victorious in most battles, especially in the final battles, and had also captured some cities. Therefore, the result can be considered a partial or decisive victory for the Iranians. They won the siege of singara, captured Amida, captured Bazabad. If the writing is accurate, they did not achieve a decisive victory, then the Sassanids achieved a partial victory.?@HistoryofIran 2A01:5EC0:E002:D69C:1:0:9722:236B (talk) 13:51, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello HistoryofIran,

I noticed that my edit was reverted due to a lack of a reliable source. I completely understand Wikipedia's sourcing standards, but I wanted to clarify that the casualty figures and troop strength I provided come from a book that I referenced. However, when I search online, it doesn’t appear in digital databases.

Would it be acceptable to cite the book with its title, author, and publication details, even if it’s not available online? Let me know if there are additional steps I should take to ensure the information meets Wikipedia’s standards.

Thanks for your time!
