Talk:Sarv-e Abarkuh

Spelling
Why is it transliterated "sarv-e abarqu" when the city is (correctly) spelt Abarkuh? The Persian Wikipedia spells it ابرکوه (abarkuh); q and k are different letters in Persian (ک and ق/غ respectively). Is it some traditional English spelling, imported decades ago?
 * There is a variant spelling with ق mentioned in the Persian Wikipedia article on the town. Also the Encyclopaedia Iranica spells the town's name with a q. (I am not saying that the form with k is wrong, just that there is a spelling with q that scholars are comfortable with).--Cam (talk) 03:07, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Great Basin of California is not in Asia
The article says it's the second largest living organism in Asia, after another organism in California. What's up with that?
