Why did you remove many battles in the article "List of wars involving Uzbekistan"
All these states were part of Uzbek history, Uzbeks participated in these battles, for example The Khanate of Khiva, the Khanate of Kokand and the Emirate of Bukhara are three Uzbek states, it is also written in Wikipedia, and is in books, Uzbek dynasties ruled there Hjoka78 (talk) 15:30, 25 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Why are you asking that question when I've literally stated my reasoning several times, including asking for WP:RS that supports this? I've written to you in the talk page of the article, feel free to answer, though I doubt you have even a single WP:RS to back it up. HistoryofIran (talk) 15:34, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Bregel, Yuri. "The New Uzbek States: Bukhara, Khiva and Kokand: c. 1750-1886." In Cambridge History of Inner Asia: The Chinggisid Age, ed. Nicola Di Cosmo, A. J. Frank, and P. B. Golden, 392-411. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2009 read this book Hjoka78 (talk) 15:52, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * You expect me to read 20 pages…? Just cite the quote(s). Remember, you need to demonstrate that every entity you added back was Uzbek or at least named their country Uzbekistan. HistoryofIran (talk) 15:54, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * And post it on the talk page of the article, not here. HistoryofIran (talk) 15:55, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Saka
Hi. The Language section seems like a clash between linguists/historians and geneticists. It could have unreliable citations too. In my opinion, the whole article needs review and source verification. --Mann Mann (talk) 13:32, 7 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi Mann Mann. Thanks for informing me, I think I have a pretty good idea who made it like this despite the consensus in scholarship. If I’m right, I think it’s about high time I take it to ANI. I’ll check later when I am home. HistoryofIran (talk) 13:39, 7 February 2024 (UTC)


 * They were added by this user. Click the link to see all of his edits on the article. When I saw his edits in 2019 (examples ), I thought he was just another account of Long-term abuse/Tirgil34. I submitted a SPI case in 2020 (please read it carefully). Anyway, it is better to review and verify his edits on the articles you watch. BTW, another thing that I read yesterday was some kind of cherry picking on Turkic peoples. It says: "Medieval European chroniclers subsumed various Turkic peoples of the Eurasian steppe under the "umbrella-identity" of the "Scythians". Between 400 CE and the 16th century, Byzantine sources use the name Σκύθαι (Skuthai) in reference to twelve different Turkic peoples." However, there are clarifications about it on Scythians which I think it should be added to Turkic peoples too: "In Late Antiquity itself, as well as in and the Middle Ages, the name "Scythians" was used in Greco-Roman and Byzantine literature for various groups of nomadic "barbarians" living on the Pontic-Caspian Steppe who were not related to the actual Scythians, such as the Huns, Goths, Ostrogoths, Gokturks, Pannonian Avars, Slavs, and Khazars.[14][18] For example, Byzantine sources referred to the Rus' raiders who attacked Constantinople in 860 AD in contemporary accounts as "Tauroscythians" because of their geographical origin, and despite their lack of any ethnic relation to Scythians." AND "Fascinated by this imagery, these ethnographers drew on it to claim populations who were completely unrelated to the Scythians, such as the Irish, Tatars, Mongols, Turks, and Indigenous peoples of the Americas, as being alleged descendants of the Scythians." Another thing I have noticed, this addition of "Eastern Iranic/Iranian" to some Central Asian and steppe related articles. One example was on Sogdia added by a sockpuppet. Two other examples are Massagetae and Sarmatians. There may be more articles like that. Isn't Eastern Iranian just a language classification? In my opinion, It seems unsourced and original research as a meta-ethnicity term. --Mann Mann (talk) 08:56, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thought it was another user. Thanks, fixed the Scythian bit too. Yeah if I'm not mistaken generally Eastern Iranian and Western Iranian is used for the language group, not the people, who are just referred to as "Iranian". I'll look into that too.

Talyshis
Hello, colleague. I am going to significantly edit Talysh people article in the near future (today I added a section on Forced assimilation in the Azerbaijan SSR, which I will also continue to edit and put in order).

I see that you wrote extensively about the history of the Talysh in the article. But, colleague, I think that the sections “In Safavid Iran”, “In Afsharid and Zand Iran” and “In Qajar Iran” are too long for the average reader and give him too little information about the Talyshis themselves. I would like to ask you to consider the possibility of shortening them by transferring some of the information to the articles Talish (region)/Safavid Talish/Talysh Khanate.

Also, I believe that the section describing the history of the Talyshis during the Talysh Khanate should be named after the Talysh Khanate (even though it was actually part of Iran de jure).

With respect, colleague. Smpad (talk) 23:03, 11 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello. Its a bit hard to avoid mentioning other entities too much, as the history of the Talysh people is basically confined to the Talish region, with the Talysh not being mentioned that much directly. Articles about ethnic groups are also usually this size and longer. As for having a section named “Talysh Khanate”, Ill take a look at it. Are there any particular sources not used in the articles you’re thinking of that can improve the history section? If so, which ones? HistoryofIran (talk) 23:19, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I am planning to supplement the article with “Introduction to the history and culture of the Talysh people” by Asatrian & others and with The Evolution of Talysh Ethnic Identity: From Soviet Manipulation to Contemporary Reality by Petr Kokaisl (Petr Kokaisl, from Kyrgyz Wikipedia), if Kokaisl's work will be approved by the Russian wiki's version of Reliable sources/Noticeboard as a RS.
 * Also, I would like to express to you my concern regarding the sources from the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (organization with direct subordination to the Azerbaijani regime, which is still carrying out the forced assimilation of the Talysh), which has an interest in Turkicizing and de-Talyshizing and de-Iranizing the history of the Talish in general. Thus, the article Talysh Khanate is teeming with the works of a certain Irada Mammadova, who even calls it only “Lankaran Khanate” (the adjective “Talysh” is highly undesirable for Azerbaijani authors for obvious reasons). Can anything be done about this?
 * With respect, colleague. Smpad (talk) 00:15, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but Kokaisli seems like a poor source. The source is published by Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, which focuses on agricultural education and research, which is irrelevant about the history of a people. Rules of other Wikis don't matter here, otherwise we would be using revisionist Aliyev/Soviet-sponsored Azerbaijani sources too (which I'm pretty sure have seen being used in the Russian Wiki). Searching Kokaisli's through the internet, he seems to be a minor scholar a best, and who doesn't even specialize in the Talysh. What are the other sources you're thinking of? And I agree, Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences shouldn't be used, I added some info about its revisionism in its article, and will add more in the future. HistoryofIran (talk) 00:25, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Also, your addition at "Forced assimilation in Azerbaijan SSR" is appreciated, but it's overkill and repeats some of the info mentioned at the Demographics section. It should be much shorter and concise so there is a balance; as we know, the history of the Talysh is more than just being assimilation targets in the Azerbaijan SSR. HistoryofIran (talk) 00:27, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your quick evaluation of the Kokaisl source. Unfortunately, I didn’t find any more interesting new publications on the Talyshis. Regarding forced assimilation. I'll try to shorten the section. But still, the forced assimilation is the central event in the history of the Talysh in the Soviet Union. This stands out brightly from other cases of forced assimilation in the USSR and was an immediate prelude to the creation of the short-lived Talysh-Mugan Autonomous Republic. It is also important to note the production of assimilation narratives of Soviet ethnography. I will continue to quote Goff for Soviet history and the period of the Talysh-Mugan Autonomous Republic. With respect, colleague. Smpad (talk) 00:51, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and I get that, but that's also what we have Talysh assimilation for. The "Forced assimilation in Azerbaijan SSR" section is currently the largest one by far, more or less as big as the Safavid, Afsharid and Zand sections (all which span almost three centuries) combined, which is too much. HistoryofIran (talk) 02:27, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello, colleague. I have a question. Users in Ukrainian Wikipedia don't understand why I consider the source named "Cultural terrorism. Table of toponyms for the de-Azerbaijaniization of the territory of the Republic of Armenia. From the brochure “Acts of Armenian Cultural Terror”, published in 1997 in Ankara with the support and participation of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary M. Novruzov." an unreliable source.
 * They ask me to provide evidence that there is a consensus in the English Wikipedia to remove from articles sources affiliated with Azerbaijan and Turkey on Armenian topics. Please, could you say where I can find such a resolution?
 * With respect, Smpad (talk) 01:03, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi. There isn't any consensus per se in the English Wikipedia (there is rarely a specific consensus on a certain topic). You just need to show WP:RS that support your arguments, same as you would do in any other Wikipedia. HistoryofIran (talk) 01:30, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Who knew?
The user that goes by the name of “HistoryofIran” (who is actually an Azeri Turk based on his edits).

I remember Mann Mann posting a concern on my talk page about similar social media silliness. It's not easy when I'm busy LARPing as an American. 🙄

Also, just to let you and any talk page stalkers know, I nor any of my family, were at the KC Chiefs parade or the subsequent shooting, so we are all safe. I guess it's best just to avoid parades, crowds, concerts, etc.

Stay safe, HistoryofIran! --Kansas Bear (talk) 17:43, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Why you deleted my article from the sources list?
Dear HistoryofIran, Why you deleted my article from the list of sources to the article related Adurbadagan? You wrote that I am not historian! Who told you this boolshit? Are you historian specializing in the Sasanian period? A I am Phd and I am historian! I am author of many articles related to the Sasanian period of Iran publicated in US, UK, Poland and India, Canada, Israel. My article "Adurbadagan and Arran in the Late Sasanian Period" was publicated in the International Journal of History in 2023. Sir, I don want to write a lot to you because you can check my identity and who I am in linkedin just typing my name Mahir Khalifa-zadeh. I am Professor and PhD! Pls restore my article in the list of additional sources to the wiki article related to Adurbadagan.

Mihranids and Mihran
Dear HistoryofIran,

You are wrong deleting my updates in "Caucasian Albania" article related to Mihranids/Mihran because you are not historian. I know my profession very well and you can be sure I not making historical mistakes!!!

For your knowledge - Mihranids is a Russian/Soviet school termin, however Mihran is original Persian and more correctly Pahlav name of the Mihran House. Mohran House was wuzurg - Great Pahlav of Eranshahr. Even you wiki mentions Seven Great Houses of Iran which were Pahlav (Parthian) origin.

Next, you are wrong that the "Caucasian Albania" termin is more natural. The original Iranian name of the region was: Parthian - Ardan, Pahlav - Arran! However, Alvan is Greek name and Albania is Latin.

With best wishes

 * I did not revert because "I'm not a historian". In Wikipedia we follow WP:RS (by citing it) and WP:COMMON NAME. Not what you think is right or not. Repeatedly stating that you're a historian does not make your edits any less wrong. HistoryofIran (talk) 02:20, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * No, your comment is: not historian! pls check again!
 * Regards, Mahir6219 (talk) 17:28, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * First, I am just replied to your comment that "not historian" and your comment damaged my reputation! Who are you to write this kind boolshit!
 * Who gave you right to conclude who I am, historian, biologist or medical officer? Did you check my background? No! I told you check me first in linkedin who I am!
 * Second, I added my article into the list of additional sources and if you are expert on Iranian history must read it. However you are not expert or historian related to the late Sasanian period. So pls fix your voluntary mistake and add me or I will write add my comment that you are not professional!

 * Sorry, but Wikipedia is based on WP:RS. For historical stuff, we base it on academic historians. And "International Journal of History" publisher looks like predatory publishing, just like this journal added by an account which I assume is also yours? . Moreover, you also changed info in the infobox which was supported by the sources in the body of the article, and even sourced information. HistoryofIran (talk) 00:52, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * what is predatory publishing? This and other journals are dedicated to History and are in the list of Cambridge University! This Journal has high citating score! So pls add my article into list of additional reading/sources
 * Regards,
 * Prof Mahir Khalifa-zadeh Mahir6219 (talk) 17:27, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * You can click predatory publishing and read about it. And no, they're not. Take it to WP:RSN, they will tell you the same there. HistoryofIran (talk) 17:29, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I dont know what are you talking about. Predatrory or not predatrory. Article is publicated and pass 3 blind check of prfessionals in the Sasanian period of Iran. So i ll include my article into the list of the additional readings/sources (not primary!) and pls do not delete. Thank you in advance. Mahir6219 (talk) 00:00, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Not how it works, see WP:SCHOLARSHIP. Again, if you're so confident that you will be considered reliable, take it to WP:RSN. HistoryofIran (talk) 00:14, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I checked reliability of the "International Journal of History" via link that you provided. So did not found any declines in its reliability. The Journal has hight citation rate.
