Talk:Humam-i Tabrizi

Cyrilic
Why are the verses written in Cyrilic? I think they should be written in the original script that was used by Homam. --alidoostzadeh 18:48, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Spotchecks
, I realized after I promoted this to GA that I should have been doing spotchecks during the review. I've now done some; everything I checked was basically OK, but there's one sentence that I think needs attention. -- Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 13:24, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * "Humam's poetry was influenced by poets such as Sanai (died c. 1130), Anvari (died 1189), and Saadi Shirazi (died 1291/92)." The names are supported by the source, but the dates are not -- can we either remove the dates or add sources for them?
 * Hello. I just used the dates listed in their respective Wiki articles, as I thought that shouldn't be controversial. Tbh I always do that, I think it gives a good insight on when these figures were actually active, and adding citations would just unnecessarily clutter the sentence imho. --HistoryofIran (talk) 13:43, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's enough. Aside from the fact that we can't use the Wikipedia articles as sources, there's no way for a reader to verify the information.  If you're getting the dates from Wikipedia articles with reliable sources for those dates, I think those sources need to be added.  Multiple citations don't bother me, but if you dislike them you can bundle them. Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 20:54, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Aight, I'll see what I can do. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:45, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I've removed all the parenthetical birth death dates, since as you say they are not sourced. To be honest I don't think it's always a good idea to include them; that's what links are for.  In some cases I can see that the reader needs to know the dates of someone mentioned, but that's not true in every case.  Please source anything you re-add.
