Talk:Ruhollah Khomeini

Which photo do you think is the best?
My opinion is this: I don't like the current photo right now, Khomeini is blurry, the color correction is bad. Let's arrange a sort of opos, who likes which photo more and why. I personally like the third option: it has good colors and a look. Roman Kubanskiy (talk) 18:52, 14 February 2021 (UTC)


 * I would go with first. The second is also good. -- M h hossein   talk 13:26, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Your thoughts? -- M h hossein   talk 12:19, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I described above. Roman Kubanskiy (talk) 17:13, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Which one do you think should be used? Roman likes the third. -- M h hossein   talk 05:32, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Honestly, the third one is the best picture in my opinion. It’s a close up shot at his face (the most recognizable part of any human being), and the resolution is clear enough so people can tell it’s him. BlueBlurHog (talk) 15:18, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * From the options the first one is the best, at first sight serious, but when looking closer, he seems friendly. The second one is maybe a bit too heavenly, celestial with the bright blue background. (while searching for other options I found out this one is the state portrait, and I can understand their choice). The third has a well perceivable background that seems to take some focus off Khomeini. Are those books in disorder? The sixth I'd support as a compromise, but there he turns his body away from the article, so I'd see it just an acceptable compromise in search of a better one.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 09:54, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Please remove nationality parameter per MOS:INFONAT. 112.204.223.12 (talk) 09:16, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: From my understanding, the nationality parameter is unnecessary if the nationality can be inferred from the birthplace parameter. Here, the birthplace is listed as Sublime State of Persia, which is not exactly the same state as the current Islamic Republic of Iran. I think this creates the possibility for confusion, especially with the name we're currently using for Khomeini's birth state (as opposed to Qajar Iran). Cannolis (talk) 22:56, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Correction of periodical math error. Personal information in sidebar states Birthdate 1902. Death states died in 1989...(aged 89). Math suggests this should say "age 87", not 89.

Personal details Born	Ruhollah Mostafavi Musavi 24 September 1902 Khomeyn, Iran[note 2] Died	3 June 1989 (aged 89) Tehran, Iran Norrismantooth (talk) 19:07, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The issue stemmed from the birth year in the infobox being incorrectly listed as 1902 - per our article "According to his birth certificate, Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini, whose first name means "spirit of Allah", was born on 17 May 1900 in Khomeyn, Markazi Province although his brother Mortaza (later known as Ayatollah Pasandideh) gives his birth date of 24 September 1902, the birth anniversary of Muhammad's daughter, Fatima." Looks like someone used the birthyear given by his brother there and everywhere else we use the birth certificate year so corrected that Cannolis (talk) 19:30, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
