Dab, it is not the same period in history. They are two completely different Persian empires. &mdash; EliasAlucard|Talk 14:51 10 Sept, 2007 (UTC)

Conversion to Islam
The Article states: "After 640 AD the area was taken over by the Islamic conquest and the majority of the population was forcefully converted to Islam"... But, does not offer any citation for this claim?. Without proper citation, this statement is a POV. --Theotherguy1 (talk) 15:50, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I think some citations are definitely needed. From my reading conversion was often discouraged because of tax policies: non-Muslims were taxed much more heavily than Muslims. So large-scale conversion would have resulted in a huge tax revenue loss. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.254.31.36 (talk) 22:14, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Mosul to Adiabene?
Are you sure about this? These cities are fairly close together, and both far, far upriver of Ctesiphon. Twin Bird (talk) 03:22, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Paganism in the 10th century?
The article makes this claim and there is no quote or page whatsoever. I will tag it momentarily. This is a pretty extraordinary claim-- I'll probably remove in a month or so if a proper citation doesn't come in.--Calthinus (talk) 08:32, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Asōristān → Asoristan – Per WP:USEENGLISH. --HistoryofIran (talk) 12:57, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose the macrons tell us long vowels. Removing them serves no benefit. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:24, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * The long vowels are apparent in the lead though (as in every other article), which should be enough. We don't use macrons as a general rule, see WP:USEENGLISH. There aren't any Iranian-related articles with macrons for good reason. Academic sources generally don't use macrons either. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:29, 29 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Support per WP:TSC. Constantine  ✍  21:47, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment: I fail to see how WP:TSC applies to this. WP:TSC is in regards to characters that cause technical issues in titles, not characters used in other languages than English. Steel1943  (talk) 13:31, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Support. I'm finding very few sources that use the macrons, though there are plenty of sources on Asoristan ( vs. )--Cúchullain t/ c 15:48, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per reason stated, that being: WP:USEENGLISH. --Comment by  Selfie City  ( talk about my  contributions ) 22:45, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
