Why must there be an opinion stated by a Comic book artist?

Fair use rationale for Image:Dialamonciv.gif
Image:Dialamonciv.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

POV
I have a problem with the following line from the article:

Tensions with the United States increased after the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq

Since when was this conflict referred to as the "Anglo-American invasion of Iraq"? It seems a little biased to me. Attila226 17:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of contrasting statements about the success of the IRI
KneeJuan deleted an introductory statement about the sucess of the Islamic Republic success of the Islamic Republic claiming it was a POV statement, giving "undo weight given to two individuals`s views". I reverted the deletion.

''The success of the Islamic Republic as a system is disputed. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called it "'a perfect model of splendid, humane, and divine life ... for all the peoples of the world.'"'' ''While others, such as journalist Afshin Molavi, claim that "over the past 26 years, Iranians have witnessed the collapse of an idea. Khomeinism, the idea that clerics should rule the state, has died in the court of [Iranian] public opinion."''

Both quoted sources are qualified to give an opinion on Iran. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad obviously speaks for a good number of Iranians. "Afshin Molavi has covered Iran for news outlets including The Washington Post and Reuters and is the author of Persian Pilgrimages: Journeys Across Iran. He is a Fellow at the New America Foundation." http://www.foreignaffairs.org/20041101facomment83602/afshin-molavi/buying-time-in-tehran.html --BoogaLouie (talk) 01:24, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Survey over deletion
I'm soliciting opinions from the editors listed in the WikiProject Iran

Give your opinions here:

Keep
Naturally I'm for it for the reasons stated above. --BoogaLouie (talk) 21:02, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Delete
Wikipedia is not a quote repository. --KneeJuan (talk) 01:21, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Survey a dud
No one voted except the two people who were arguing. will request comment after I'm done with other projects --BoogaLouie (talk) 21:04, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Blatant POV
this article is written with a Blatant, anti-Islamic Republic POV. wikipedia should strive to report facts, not your political views. by selectively reporting information gathered from clear anti-IR sources, this article paints a biased picture that is far from the truth 69.235.27.136 (talk) 07:52, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

This article needs editing
Sentences such as "...the Israel-Hezbollah 2006 War provided an eye-opening for the world of Hezbollah weapons said to be Iranian imports" do not meet Wikipedia's quality standards. If possible, fix errors you see. 23 October 2010. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.32.136.199 (talk) 18:26, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Plagiarism?
Footnote #106 (...was enforced - men were discouraged from wearing ties, women were obliged to wear either scarves and long coats or preferably the full chadour...) was taken verbatum from the book "A History of Modern Iran". Perhaps it should be reworded? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.94.131.53 (talk) 15:06, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Direct links from the body to the ADL's blog?
That's probably not the best way to go about things. 66.65.86.213 (talk) 07:25, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Women in politics
There's a sentence in here that reads "In late 1990s, Iranians sent more women to Iranian parliament than Americans sent to U.S. senate." The cited reference is no longer online. In the late 1990s, there were, on average, 16 Senate elections per year in the US vs. 68 elections per year for the Islamic Consultative Assembly in Iran. So I believe this comparison is not meaningful without more data. Is someone in a position to provide the additional information? If not, the sentence should be removed. 71.197.166.72 (talk) 07:28, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
