1001 Nights
I have "reverted" your last edits to this article - although they were, I'm sure, well-intentioned.

The reasons are as follows:

The Arabic title is first - because the work as we have it (as opposed to prototypes on which it may have been based) is in Arabic, not Persian.

I would actually prefer "Persian" here, as the prototype concerned pre-dates the modern state of Iran - BUT "Iranian" is the word used in "The encyclopedia of Islam" that is used as a source for the "prototype" - hence it is a more accurate representation of what our authority says here than "Persian". In any case we don't need both.

 * Although only an ignorant Westerner I do know the difference between "Persian" and "Iranian" - something like the difference between "English" and "British", or "Mekeo" and "Papuan". Probably best to leave it as "Iranian" though - since that's what our source says. After all, "Persian" gets quite a few plugs further down. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 13:37, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
