Please refrain from changing the adjective Iranian to Persian. Iran is a country, and it's citizens are called Iranians, and that's the proper terminology. Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 22:41, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * This is a second request to please stop changing Iranian to Persian. Iranian is the internationally recognized way of identifying people from Iran.  Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 13:48, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, your arguments don't pass muster. While the term "Persia" directs to Iran, the most common name of the country is Iran in English, and the country itself has asked international bodies to call it Iran since the 1930s.   Secondly, most international bodies such as the UN and the EU name citizens of the country as Iranian.  Persian is an ethnicity within the country, and does not include all ethnicities in the country of Iran, which includes other ethnicities such as Azeris, Kurds, etc.  Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 03:02, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, doesn't change a thing. The most common name of the country in English is Iran, and that's all Wikipedia cares about. Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 22:26, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia uses Iran and Iranian for all things in Wikipedia. The name of the country is Iran as requested by itself, as defined by the UN, as defined by the EU as definied by any international organization.  It's citizens are known as Iranians in Wikipedia, because all of those international bodies and sources call them Iranians.  Furthermore as I mentioned Persian is an ethnicity within the country, and does not include all ethnicities in the country of Iran, which includes other ethnicities such as Azeris, Kurds, etc.  Stop going against all the consensus in Wikipedia.

 * Not true. Wikipedia has policies, one of them is Naming conventions and as part of that policy names should be used which are "most commonly used to refer to the subject of the article in English-language reliable sources".  Also please read Iranians_(citizens_of_Iran), which uses Iranians, and not Persians, which is one sub-enthnicity within the country. Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 19:10, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Persia is a redirect to Iran because that is the most common name of the country in English today. Persia is the historical name.  Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 21:57, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Don, you don't get it. Your viewpoint doesn't matter.  What matters is that in current day English most sources use Iranian, and that all that counts, and if you continue acting in such a manner, just as editor M D Potter. noted below, you will be blocked.
