Talk:First Herat War

McNeil
Who is McNeil? This article would be improved if someone could insert a brief clause to describe his role at the place in the article where he is first mentioned (I assume he was sent on diplomatic mission to the Shah from Britain, but this is not clear.) Please feel free to remove this message when you've done this. RuthLivingstone (talk) 08:00, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Someone pulled him out on 3 January. I thought they would continue so I did nothing. He's back now. The whole thing looks anglocentric and I expect someone will overwrite it with the Persian version.Benjamin Trovato (talk) 00:41, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I think the article is heavily based on obsolete, 19th century or so British sources (aka old propaganda). It mentions almost nothing about the other side. See also Izydor Borowski - article about the Polish commander of the Iranian side. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:48, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I noted the same thing 4 years ago (above). I am still waiting for the Persian version. Benjamin Trovato (talk) 18:32, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

– Both articles are about the entire campaigns not just the sieges of Herat. This leads to awkwardness in the lead. The proposed titles are used in, e.g., War and Peace in Qajar Persia: Implications Past and Present, edited by Roxane Farmanfarmaian. "First Herat War" is in fact the common name; "Second Herat War" is rarer since it is usually treated in the context of the Anglo-Persian War. Srnec (talk) 02:38, 5 May 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.
