Talk:Kermanshah

Etymology
Why is the theory of Mohammad Mokri deleted? It is one of the more plausible thories? The theory of a connection between Kurmanji and Kirmashan is not convincong at all. This due to that the dialect spoken in kirmashan is a mix of Gurani/Kelhuri and Kurmanji. Kurmanji is also a very recent phenomenon in Kirmashan and in southern Kurdistan as a whole. This makes the theory ridiculous as an ancient name could hardly be derived from a recent happening. The theory that the name is derived from Kerman + Shah is also not very plausible as the native name is Kirmashan and never Kirmanshah. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.225.3.240 (talk) 16:58, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

After I explained in detail where the name "Kirmanshah" comes from and providing helpful evidence for the future scholars of Kurdish matters under a new article "Kirmanshah", some of you deleted it in favor of these erroneous folk etymologies you repeat in here, complete with the pseudo-French spelling of the city's name: Kermanshah. Socrates was correct: the more ignorant we are, the more certain we feel. Well then, stay in your ignorance. As the old adage goes: "One cannot force knowledge on the unwilling."

Kurdish city
A city of near 1.000.000 citizens and is missed that is a kurd city (in fact reality is modified saying that is a persian city where is speak the persian language and others minority languages, but kurd not enclosed). This seems to be created by a persian chauvinist. Please give justice to kurds.--83.52.18.98 (talk) 08:38, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Bazaars
This section was totally unclear. It seems to indicate two bazaars, but the text about the second bazaar indicates that it has the same naming history as the first bazaar (...so are they the same bazaar?). It is also totally uncited and mostly a list of things you can buy (some of them not translated into English). Anyway, if anyone wants to fix it up and stick it back in, here it is.
