Talk:Counties of Iran

Official?
Is there an official translation into English in Iran or English-speaking countries? What is it? "Counties"? СЛУЖБА (talk) 14:33, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

District
Asked this on the district page, but got no response. Does every piece of a district belong to either a city or a rural agglomeration, or is there territory that can sit outside of either and is thus governed directly at the district level? --Criticalthinker (talk) 09:56, 16 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the late reply. Every district has some combination of cities and/or rural districts, the individual boundaries of which appear to be coextensive with the district. The total districts are coextensive with the county, and the counties with the province. Few districts are just a city and few are just rural districts. The trend has been to create counties out of one or more districts, promoting a city in the new Central District into the county's capital, and often a former village to a city in the new districts created.

Orphaned references in Counties of Iran
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Counties of Iran's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "2011 census": From Khonj County:  From Esfarayen County:  From Ray County, Iran:  

Reference named "2016 census": From Esfarayen County:  From Ray County, Iran:  From Khonj County:  

Reference named "2006 census":<ul> <li>From Khonj County: Retrieved 30 October 2022</li> <li>From Esfarayen County: Retrieved 7 November 2022</li> <li>From Ray County, Iran: Retrieved 9 November 2022</li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 03:07, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
