 * I forgot to mention I took out the Hystory section because I couldn't find any resources other than the Kurdish Blog showing the fact or the existence of the sultani tropical kurdish calendar, please provide me with more sources for the fact so we can add it to the article! --Flavallee (talk) 11:06, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Kurdistan
From Ángel García  angel.garcia2001@googlemail.com

The chapter "The Kurdish Days of the Week" has a lot of mistakes. ´Arabic "yaumu s-sabt", not "Sabbath". Roman calendar in 321 AD, not BC. (the Iranian language in Arsakidian Persia) - not Sasanian. Ardashîr took power only in 221 AD. "the ´Arab conquest in AD 621" is wrong. The battles were in 637 and in 642. "(Friday) which is a free day of work for many Muslim cultures in Mideast." - Muslim, not in other states.

The next two phrases need complete reformulating. "Jemu which is Avestay world Jem that have survived..." is not English plus wrong. Gumu´ah is normal ´Arabic for "gathering, Friday" from root gama´a "he collected, gathered". García 217.226.33.187 (talk) 20:52, 26 May 2008 (UTC) I forgot: last line SéKshembe, CHúwÂrshembe, PéKshembe without K's - these are wrong. García 217.226.33.187 (talk) 21:04, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Rewritten after redirect.
Hello all. This page has been edited to redirect to Iranian Calendar. It was previously filled with information although much of it was unsourced. I think the subject matter is significant enough to warrant its own article rather than a redirect. A Google Scholar search returns at least 42 published results that contain enough information to start an article. So for now I've taken out all the unsourced information and added the sourced information. This article can now serve as a stub that can expand. I would like to welcome all feedback on how to expand this article and improve its quality. ~ Zirguezi 12:54, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

NPOV
This page now has a neutrality disputed template. However no explanation is given. Can someone elaborate please? I will be removing it in due time if no editor can provide feedback ~ Zirguezi 00:02, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Newroz
The article now says:


 * The First day in this month is called "Newroz" it means "New Day"

So, it talks about «this month» but it has not mentioned any month previously. And Newroz is, in fact, the first day of the year. I guess somebody removed a part where somebody mentioned the first month of the year and this, then remained incorrect.

Challenging academic sources.
There seems to be a cycle in the history of this page where information based on academic sources are added which are subsequently slowly removed over multiple edits. Obviously this article doesn't get much traffic from users which means edits are often left unchallenged. However I would like to see that any removal of academic sourced information is based on consensus, preferably on this talk page. Specifically the entire section on months has been removed multiple times even though it has an academic source backing it. The version of 19 April 2020 has no less than 9 academic sources, which have almost all been removed, sometimes without giving reason.

I have added back the information based on academic sources. However I cannot verbatim copy/paste them here due to obvious copyright reasons. I would like ask that anyone who challenges these sources discuss it here first so I can provide (a link to) the original excerpt. I would also implore anyone with an interest in this topic to first read [Izady 1992, p. 241.] which is available on Sci-Hub under https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315059037 and is the main source for many of the claims in this article. Finally a friendly reminder that sources should not be reject just because they are difficult or costly to access per WP:SOURCEACCESS. I welcome all feedback on this topic. ~ Zirguezi 22:36, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Please add my descriptions back
Whoever removed my added definitions and other month names, please add them back. I used general Kurdish knowledge for the meaning of the months, as they're as obvious as deciphering where the word 'grasshopper' came from. There aren't many official sources on the names of Kurdish months, but rather I also got help from other Kurds on Quora, my relatives and this website (http://rojbash.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=348). Not to mention that the month 'Xerman' STILL says that it comes from "Xerm". Any Kurd knows 'Xerman' in خەرمانان means 'Harvest' 🤦🏻‍♀️ And Galarezan is clear too, it's at the time of Autumn and many sources say that it is called Galarezan and many Kurds. Also the definition for that month is clear enough. Noorhanakurdi (talk) 08:00, 3 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Everything on Wikipedia should be based on reliable references. Blogs, your relatives nor Quora are considered reliable references here. Semsûrî (talk) 10:12, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I came back to this page to see if it had been corrected. Sure, but that is like saying we can’t write water is wet because we haven’t given a reliable reference. I’m not sure which source told you Xerman comes from ‘Xerm’ meaning ‘warm’ (which is ‘germ’) but that’s the least ‘reliable’ source ever. ‘Xerman’ means harvest. Even if you speak Persian you would know. Noorhanakurdi (talk) 19:20, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

This doesn't represent every Kurdish calendar, just the modern nationalist calendar
As the title says, this only refers to the modern Kurdish nationalist calendar, but some Kurds still use an older calendar with some of the month names derived from Aramaic such as Nisan and Sibat Himeaimichu (talk) 14:38, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
