Talk:Politics of Iran

QUESTION: The presidential term is listed as four years, but for how many terms may an Iranian be president? Tzanyrr (talk) 20:38, 1 July 2009 (UTC)Tzanyrr

This page ought to be updated to reflect the results of the 2005 presidential election. Could someone be kind enough to do it?

Parties
Unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment to do a thorough correction, but the part about parties is definitely misleading. The groups mentioned in the table (Green Movement, Alliance of Builders etc.) are definitely not parties as in the definition used in political science. They are important and influential power groups in Iran, but they are not parties.

Hooshang Amirahmadi
I removed the section about Hooshang Amirahmadi as the citation provided was not operable and the wording suggested a pro-Amirahmadi POV, and thereby a violation of NPOV. 147.9.201.86 (talk) 18:31, 13 January 2009 (UTC) pie

Clean up tag
The article needs some clean up. Each of Iran's government branches now have their own pages. Yet it is hard to navigate thru them from here, which should be the starting point.

Also the information is not presented in a concise, organized manner. The main page of Iran has a good section on politics in Iran, which could be used to make this page's organization of topics.

Somebody please take up this task. Im busy elsewhere for the time.--Zereshk 02:09, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Wrong Link
This page shows the Telecommunications ministry to be at www.dci.ir

DCI is in fact Datacommunications of Iran, which is a subsidiary of the government telephone company, TCI (www.tci.ir, Telephone Company of Iran). TCI itself is not the same as the actual Telecommunicaitons Ministry, the link for which I don't have, but I'll try to get it.. --Commking 06:33, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Bias
The page says "In February 2004 Parliament elections, the Council of Guardians banned thousands of candidates, including most of the reformist members of the parliament and all the candidates of the Islamic Iran Participation Front party from running. This led to a win by the conservatives of at least 70% of the seats. Approximately 60% of the elegible voting population participated in the elections", which is fair enough but this reflects badly on the situation of democracy in Iran when it is not mentioned that in the more recent June 2005 elections they did not do this.

Issues
What are current "hot topics" in Iranian politics, especially domestic politics? -- Beland 09:24, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Merge
There should be an article about political groups and parties in Iran, but the content of this article is more relevant with "Government of Iran". So the article should remained with different content.--Sa.vakilian 08:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC) ok then, we have a List of political parties in Iran and will have Politics and Government of Iran --Gerash77 05:38, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Section move
I'm going to move the subsection on "Criticism" to the bottom of the page in its own section. It seems more appropriate to list criticism after actually giving details about the system, and this is usually done for criticism sections. The Behnam 06:19, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

previous governments
Would it be possible to have this article, which seems to deal exclusively with the current government, have a pointer to whatever article describes the previous systems, if such an article can be found? Like in the "See also" section, or something. TIA,

--Jerome Potts 03:23, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Criticism of the system
In the last paragraph it says: "Neither of these two laws are mandated by the constitution and are ordinary laws passed by the Parliament or the Assembly of Experts [11], which therefore can theoretically be reversed." What does that mean? Which are "these two laws"? The paragraph doesn't make sense because no "two laws" are mentioned in the previous paragraph.

Rachid12051 19:39, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I removed the paragraph, the comment seems to have been trunkated, her it is: Removed paragraph, discuses two unspecifyed laws, acording to talkpage the problem has existed since 2007. The sources gives 404 error.

Poor source citation 12
Can radio free Europe be considered an unbiased source of info? The article linked to cites no sources, nor does it say where it obtained any information. Does this warrant removal? 128.189.176.237 (talk) 01:28, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I fully agree. RFE is definitly not unbiased. it would definitly warrant a removal.--Lexiko (talk) 23:44, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Important notice
The government section of the "Outline of Iran" needs to be checked, corrected, and completed -- especially the subsections for the government branches.

When the country outlines were created, temporary data (that matched most of the countries but not all) was used to speed up the process. Those countries for which the temporary data does not match must be replaced with the correct information.

Please check that this country's outline is not in error.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact The Transhumanist.

Thank you.

Merger proposal
I've copied the following from Talk:Government of Islamic Republic of Iran, where it was incorrectly placed. --Stfg (talk) 14:45, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

>>>COPIED MATERIAL

This appears to be a duplicate article. Most of this content already exists in a more comprehensive article, Politics of Iran. I suggest that any new, sourced content from this article be placed in that article, and then this article should be turned into a redirect. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:10, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The article has notability and is different from the Politics of Iran. It seems that this article is main and the Low-related and unrelated topics of Politics of Iran should be moved here.Homiho (talk) 06:33, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

I disagree with you. There are separate articles for Politics of India and Government of India or Government of the United Kingdom and Politics of the United Kingdom. However, most of the duplicated information should move to one of them.-- Seyyed(t-c) 11:03, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * If the consensus is that there should be two articles, then there should be less duplication between the two articles. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:35, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

>>>END OF COPIED MATERIAL
 * The forking of the content also breaks the attribution requirement of the CC-BY-SA licence; the forker didn't note the source of the content in her/his edit summary (although possibly Jonesey95's talk page message counts as adequate attribution). Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 21:08, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * How does it break the attribution requirement?Homiho (talk) 06:25, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I just told you above; you broke the attribution requirement by failing to attribute the source of the article you forked. To expand; "Attribution—You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work.)". When you split/fork/copy inside WP  you must follow these instructions:

"To conform with Wikipedia's licensing requirements, which require that content contributors receive attribution, the page receiving the split material must have an edit summary noting 'split content from article name '. (Do not omit this step or omit the page name.) A note should also be made in the edit summary of the source article, 'split content to article name '. It is a requirement of Wikipedia's licensing that attribution be given to the main content author(s). The Copied template can be placed on the talk page of both articles for this purpose. For further information, refer to the main Copying within Wikipedia guideline."Baffle gab1978 (talk) 02:58, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * 1)I deleted the similar contents of these two article from "Politics of Iran". please remove the merge tag.

2) I used Template:Copied to solve the problem that you said.Homiho (talk) 12:25, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

As I see, there is little duplicated information. Government of Islamic Republic of Iran is about the legal structure of the government of Islamic republic of Iran while Politics of Iran is about political activities in Iran.-- Seyyed(t-c) 04:53, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

Tourism in Iran
Tourism in Iran is still slowly developing, but it has been improving. The transportation, people, and sites are incredibly amazing. Everyone is kind and warm-hearted. I watched a YouTube video of a person called Jacob Laukitis who really enjoyed his stay in Iran. Politically, the situation is very complex and tough, but the Tourism industry is improving importantly. What are your thoughts on the situation? Please recall your words before you answer. Thanks y'all. Njabulo Mhlongo (talk) 18:57, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

Iran is indeed improving. Miracles really do happen. Njabulo Mhlongo (talk) 18:58, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
