Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Dougweller (talk) 05:57, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Darius I
I see your changes were reverted - we've discussed the name on the talk page and if you want to change it, you'll have to get a new agreement and get the title of the article changed. Dougweller (talk) 05:59, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

i am sorry that my changes did not fit your rules and regulation. just to explain - i tried to change the name from Darius to Dariush which is the normal pronunciation in Farsi. Perhaps that could be included in the “source” in another way. I was also trying to insert the Farsi spelling of the name, as it is entered on the Wikipedia page for Cyrus the Great, however, except for copy and paste the Farsi script I know of no other way of entering the name. I would appreciate if you could show me how it is done for a wiki page — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.222.220.61 (talk) 13:14, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Questionable source
You should take Avid Kamgar's translation of Zarinkoob's book to Reliable sources/Noticeboard, since it was published by AuthorHouse, a self-publishing company.

Per Wikipedia's stand on self-published sources. --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:55, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

In response to your somewhat unintelligible remark on October 10, 2016 I must say, I followed on the message and the links you sent a bit, mostly reading your pages but did not get anywhere to be confident what *exactly* you are asking for. So I decided to respond to your message here.

First I appreciate Wikipedia’s policy of being careful with the information added to its content by readers, as many of us depend on Wikipedia for information. Second in defense of my book Two Centuries of Silence is of course the translation into English of Do Gharn Sokoot.

1.	Do Gharn Sokoot itself needs no defense; you can satisfy yourself by a little online search. 2.	So I assume that you may doubt the translator’s qualification, and the authenticity of the translation. To that I must say that I am a scientist and a researcher with many qualifications which you can read on the inside cover of the book. 3.	I have translated the book very faithfully, at the cost of sounding a bit foreign and somewhat repetitious, as the original is. 4.	Furthermore, during the years of translating books on Iranian history and researching I realized that much information about Iran―missing from the Wikipedia pages―are covered in Two Centuries of Silence, which is now translated. 5.	The edits that I have made so far are all fairly minor, but I am working on a major edit to the Two Centuries of Silence Wikipedia page itself.

If there are any specific questions, please let me knowAvidkamgar (talk) 14:40, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Persimmon
I tried to change the impression that: “Persimmon’s English name derives from Khormalooخرمالو.” While, if anything it derives from the word Persia and not from the word khormaloo. Do you not agree?Avidkamgar (talk) 14:40, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Warning
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --Kansas Bear (talk) 02:08, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

dear Wikipedia Police - thank you for choosing my paragraph in wiki page on "Two Centuries of Silence." but it was not a good decision on your part to remove all of my other contributions to Wikipedia. True that my book is self-published, but it is a very good and true translation of a very famous book, by a great Iranian historian. i have given up proving my point. your policing is not democratic. you do it, because you can. respectfully, Avid Kamgar, Ph.D.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Avidkamgar. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. ''You shouldn't be adding your book to articles. You may suggest its addition on article talk pages and if others agree, hopefully they will add it.'' Doug Weller  talk 12:01, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Original research and NPOV
Please also read WP:NOR and WP:NPOV. You are adding phrases such as "rightly points out", "wistfully" to articles. That is not encyclopedic and Wikipedia does not tell readers what is correct. We can say that X says that Y is correct, but we can't state that in Wikipedia's own voice. Doug Weller talk 12:35, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
