Talk:Aliqoli Mirza Qajar

Questions for a Farsi speaker
in case he/she is interested Elinruby (talk) 22:53, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * are there articles about the books or the newspapers? Elinruby (talk) 21:46, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * there's the iranica article for ya
 * “He was responsible for building Persia's first telegraph line, the government printing house and the governorates of Malayer and Tuyserkan.” Am I correct in thinking he *built* the telegraph line but was just in charge of the other things? Or was he also responsible for their creation? The sentence is a bit awkward and confusion about facts is making it harder to reword.
 * my bad, he theorised the telegraph line and directed the printing house
 * ”Mirza” comes up quite a bit. Is it a title? Or possibly a family name? Elinruby (talk) 21:53, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * its a title
 * Does “Diwan” just mean poetry? If this is a description not a title, it shouldn’t be capitalized. Also on this list, is it in two parts like that because the items in the second list aren’t books but some other type of writing?
 * diwan of divan is a collection of poems so it sould not be capitalised, regarding the list, i don't quit think its fit into the article so with your permission of course i would like to change it back
 * I did not find an article for Mirza Nazar Ali Hakim bashi Qazvini, but he is described as an influential Sufi. I leave it to someone else to judge notability. Also Abdol-Rahim Heravi, Abd al-Razzak Bey, Ma'ater-e soltaniya, Mirza Nazar Ali Khan, Malkam Khan (Mirza Malkam Khan already linked), Fars mosh Khaneh (Faramosh Khaneh)), Ahmad Karzbar, Hakim Semnani, Council of Benevolent Reforms, Sheikh Mohammad Mehdi Shams al-Ulama Abd al-Rabbadi, Mirza Abolfazl Savji, Mullah Abdul Wahab Qazvini, and Mirza Hassan Taleghani, also Aqa seyyed Ali, al-Firriest (Al-Fihrist)), Mohammad Taqi Sepehr (Mohammad Taqi Mirza?), Tarikh-e Qajariya, Mirza Taher Isfahani and Mirza Ahmad Kashani
 * i pointed out the ones who had the article, a little misspelling i should say, the rest dont have one
 * is Mirza Hosein Khan Moshir od-Dowleh the same person as Aliqoli Khan Mokber al-Dowleh? If so he has an article, but it talks about railways not telegraphs, and the name seems slightly differer
 * they are diffrent persons, you see, -Dowleh and Khan are titles
 * found a Wikidata entry for Mohammad Hassan Khan Etemad al-Saltanah but don’t see an article?
 * in english he doesnt have one

hey mate, i'm the one who expended the article and i thought to take advantage and answer your questions.Amir Ghandi (talk) 14:29, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
