Population of Tehran
Dear M samadi, I just noticed that you have also made a graph of the population of Tehran, similar to that of Iran. The same argument as we had earlier concerning the population of Iran applies here: the six zeros may be removed. Kind regards, --BF 00:51, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I uploaded the new version of that image and used it in the article. Thanks for your attention. --M samadi (talk) 11:56, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Stub categories
Hi M samadi - I've just reverted your hiding of and several other categories- stub categories (and similar editor categories like "picture required" categories) are never ever hidden - it defeats their whole purpose, which is to make the stub articles on particular subjects as easy for editors to find as possible. Grutness...wha?  01:19, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your message. But I considered the stub categories as maintenance categories. Every user can change his/her preferences (in Misc Tab) in order to see the hidden categories. I think that stub categories are for editors to find them not for simple readers. Hiding these categories, prevents the categories section of the articles from being disordered for readers and also left the option for editors to view the stub categories below the articles by adjusting their preferences. Considering these facts, in Persian Wikipedia, after a consensus, all stub categories were hidden. Similar talks and consensus may be made here in English Wikipedia. Regards.--M samadi (talk) 13:38, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * This argument has been made a couple of times in the past at WikiProject Stub sorting, but the overall consensus there was very strongly to keep them visible for the reasons I mentioned. Grutness...wha?  08:09, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I didn't know anything a bout that discussion. Thank you very much.--M samadi (talk) 10:25, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Demographics of Iran
I moved all the information to the Iranian citizens abroad article. Please let me know what you think. Khoikhoi 09:02, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It was a good idea. There are several links to the Iranian citizens abroad article, in related articles such as Iran and that article is the best place for those information. Thanks a lot.--M samadi (talk) 10:18, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Mehdi bahadori
A tag has been placed on Mehdi bahadori requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Somno (talk) 05:40, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Reply
Hi, I actually moved the valuable information to this section. I don't object the information, I objected to the use of an ethnic group infobox as "Iranian" is not an ethnicity. Khoikhoi 22:57, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Dear Khoikhoi, You are right. Considering the good sensation that template gives to the article and the fact that there isn't any note about ethnicity in the used template, I thought that it is better to use the template. but the template named Infobox Ethnic group and must be used only in articles about an ethnicity. Thanks for your message. Regards.--M samadi (talk) 08:15, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

How fast!
You were so fast in changing Mohammad ali Mojtahedi Gilani ! Could you help extending Category:Iranian Electrical engineers ? Do you know how long Mohammad Reza Aref has been professor of Sharif University of Technology ? Sicaspi (talk) 09:46, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry for the delayed response. I'm mainly active in Persian Wikipedia at the time, and rarely edit here. About Mohammad Reza Aref, I don't know how long he has been the professor of Sharif University, but I think that you can easily found your required information in the web, especially in his official homepage.--M samadi (talk) 09:15, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

On a famine and a related book
Dear M Samadi, you may recall the exchange that we had last year concerning the graph that you had prepared concerning the population of Iran over years (the exchange took place here). In one of these exchanges, dated 8 May 2008, I mentioned: "One other thing: you might also consider the possibility of showing the derivative with respect to time of the interpolation curve as an inset — the rate of growth or of decline (specifically the locations of near discontinuities in the rate) invariably signify social/economic/natural events that one can easily identify. For instance [...]. Further, by the end of the WWI, Iran suffered from a severe famine [my italic] (which was partly, but not entirely, a result of profiteering of some merchants and middlemen). I believe the kink in the data points just past 1920, signifies this famine (although counter-intuitive, when humans are faced with mortal danger they reproduce more, apparently to save their race/genes)." Just by coincidence some minutes ago I encountered a book by Dr Mohammad-Gholi Majd in whose "Product Description" one reads: "In this book, Mohammad-Gholi Majd argues that Persia was the greatest victim of World War One and also the victim of possibly the worst genocide of the twentieth century. Using U.S. State Department records, as well as Persian and British sources, Majd describes and documents a veritable holocaust about which practically nothing has been written." You might wish to pursue the matter. The dtails of the book can be found here: The Great Famine and Genocide in Persia, 1917-1919, by Mohammad-Gholi Majd, 162 p, University Press of America, 2003. Unfortunately, at present I have no time to look into the matter. Should you happen to be in a similar position, would you kindly bring this book to the attention of those who might be interested? This matter certainly deserves to be reflected in the Wikipedia entry of Iran (elsewhere I read that according to Dr Majd, between 8 and 10 million Iranians died as a result of this famine). Further, would you kindly evaluate the derivative of the population data with respect to time, as I had proposed earlier? With some population analysis, using some unbiased assumptions, one should be able to extract from your data the number of people who died as a consequence of this famine. With kind regards, --BF 02:16, 28 January 2009 (UTC).
 * Dear BF, Thanks for your efforts. I'll do it as soon as I find enough time.--M samadi (talk) 09:23, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * You are welcome. May I request you kindly to use BF in addressing me on Wikipedia? This to bypass Google. For now, I have been rude and without your permission changed your above text accordingly; I hope that you will accept my apologies for this intrusion into your text.


 * Incidentally, as you may be aware, for the population number $$\scriptstyle P$$ at time $$\scriptstyle t$$ one has


 * (1) $$\scriptstyle P(t) = P(t_0) \exp[\int_{t_0}^t dt'\, g(t')],$$


 * where $$\scriptstyle g(t)$$ is the population growth rate (it has the dimension of 1/time so that for the time $$\scriptstyle t$$ measured in years, it has the dimension of per year). It follows that plotting $$\scriptstyle \ln[P(t)/P(t_0)]$$ as a function of $$\scriptstyle t$$ provides one with the behaviour of $$\scriptstyle \int_{t_0}^t dt'\; g(t')$$. Differentiating the latter function with respect to $$\scriptstyle t$$, one obtains $$\scriptstyle g(t)$$. According to Eq. (1), a discontinuous change in $$\scriptstyle P(t)$$ at $$\scriptstyle t=t_1$$ corresponds to a contribution in $$\scriptstyle g(t)$$ of the form $$\scriptstyle A\, \delta(t-t_1)$$. Similarly, an abrupt (but continuous) change in $$\scriptstyle P(t)$$ in the neignourhood of $$\scriptstyle t=t_1$$ corresponds to a sharp peak or trough in $$\scriptstyle g(t)$$ in the neighbourhood of $$\scriptstyle t=t_1$$. The height (depth) of this peak (trough), $$\scriptstyle A$$, is a direct measure of the number of people added to (for $$\scriptstyle A >0$$) or removed from ($$\scriptstyle A < 0$$) the population under investigation. To be explicit, write


 * (2) $$\scriptstyle g(t) = A\, \delta(t-t_1) + g_1(t),$$


 * and assume that $$\scriptstyle t_0 < t_1$$. From Eq. (1) one obtains that


 * (3) $$\scriptstyle P(t_1^+) \equiv P(t_0) \exp[A + \int_{t_0}^{t_1^-} dt'\; g(t')] \equiv P(t_1^-) \exp[A] \iff P(t_1^+) - P(t_1^-) = (\exp[A] -1) P(t_1^-)$$,


 * that is


 * (4) $$\scriptstyle P(t_1^+) - P(t_1^-) \equiv (\exp[A] -1) \exp[\int_{t_0}^{t_1^-} dt'\; g(t')] \equiv (\exp[A] -1) \exp[\int_{t_0}^{t_1} dt'\; g_1(t')].$$


 * To calculate $$\scriptstyle P(t_1^+) - P(t_1^-)$$, one thus needs to (i) determine $$\scriptstyle A$$ (along the lines described above), (ii) subtract the peak/trough contribution from $$\scriptstyle g(t)$$ (that is, determine $$\scriptstyle g_1(t)$$), and (iii) calculate $$\scriptstyle \int_{t_0}^{t_1} dt'\; g_1(t')$$. The number of people "abruptly" added to or removed from the population (around the time $$\scriptstyle t=t_1$$) is readily obtained from Eq. (4). Please note that Eq. (2) describes an idealised case, so that in practice, where the peak/trough in $$\scriptstyle g(t)$$ has a finite width, one has to be very careful not to overcount/undercount things.


 * Lastly, for $$\scriptstyle g(t) \equiv g_0$$, independent of time, Eq. (1) deduces to


 * (5) $$\scriptstyle P(t) = P(t_0) \exp[g_0\, (t - t_0)].$$


 * Because $$\scriptstyle g_0$$ is here multiplied by $$\scriptstyle (t-t_0)$$, for $$\scriptstyle g(t)$$ a sufficiently smooth function of $$\scriptstyle t$$ in the neighbourhood of $$\scriptstyle t=t_0$$, neglect of the dependence of $$\scriptstyle g(t)$$ on $$\scriptstyle t$$ for sufficiently small $$\scriptstyle \vert t-t_0\vert$$ leads to an error in $$\scriptstyle P(t)$$ which is at least quadratic in $$\scriptstyle (t-t_0)$$ and thus is negligibly small.
 * With kind regards, --BF 01:25, 29 January 2009 (UTC).


 * Ps: Above I have expressed things in terms of the integral of $$\scriptstyle g_1(t)$$ over $$\scriptstyle [t_0,t_1]$$. One could equivalently express things in terms of the integral of $$\scriptstyle g_1(t)$$ over $$\scriptstyle [t_1,t_2]$$ where $$\scriptstyle t_2 > t_1$$. For your numerical analysis, you should consider to use both formulations, as in this way you will reduce the uncertainty in the numerical value for $$\scriptstyle P(t_1^+) - P(t_1^-)$$ arising from the fact that your numerical data are not exact and that you know $$\scriptstyle g(t)$$ at a relatively small number of $$\scriptstyle t$$ points. --BF 01:41, 29 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Dear M Samadi, I think the most convenient way to proceed is the following: (i) take $$\scriptstyle t_1 = 1918$$ (the year at which the WW I ended); (ii) extrapolate $$\scriptstyle \ln[P(t)/P(t_0)]$$ from both below $$\scriptstyle t_1$$ and above $$\scriptstyle t_1$$ to $$\scriptstyle t_1$$. Following the considerations in my earlier message on this page, the difference between the extrapolated values of $$\scriptstyle \ln[P(t)/P(t_0)]$$, from above and from below, may be identified with $$\scriptstyle A$$. For $$\scriptstyle P(t_1^-)$$ you similarly use an extrapolation of $$\scriptstyle P(t)$$ from $$\scriptstyle t_0 < t_1$$. Please note that for sufficiently small values of $$\scriptstyle A$$ one has $$\scriptstyle \exp[A] -1 \approx A$$, so that, following Eq. (3), $$\scriptstyle P(t_1^+) - P(t_1^-) \approx A P(t_1^-)$$. Since in the case at hand $$\scriptstyle P(t_1^-) \approx 10^7$$ (see ), it follows that for sufficiently small values of $$\scriptstyle A$$ one has $$\scriptstyle P(t_1^+) - P(t_1^-) \approx A \times 10^7$$. Thus a value of $$\scriptstyle A \approx -0.1$$ implies that there can have been of the order of $$\scriptstyle 10^6$$ excess deaths as a result of the famine. In this connection, in my first message I mentioned that "(elsewhere I read that according to Dr Majd, between 8 and 10 million Iranians died as a result of this famine)". With reference to your population diagram, a death toll between 8 and 10 million does not seem credible. Perhaps you wish to check the validity of your numbers and also see what total population number has gone into the calculations of Dr Majd. You may also wish to discuss the matter with someone at the official website of "Statistical Centre of Iran", from where you indicate that you have obtained your population data. Kind regards, --BF 10:17, 29 January 2009 (UTC).

Concerning Faramarz Payvar's image
I do not believe that the photograph that I uploaded yesterday can be uploaded to Commons: it is a copy-righted photograph, even though I have heavily edited it (please consult my copy-right statement) so that it can be used only in one Wikipedia entry. The situation would have been different if the image were a free one. In know of one case when a similar image, i.e. with a similar copy-right statement, was used in two Wikipedia entries, on which the image was deleted from Wikipedia altogether (I had to fight in order to get the image restored and have it displayed in the entry I had originally uploaded the image for). Before closing, I take the opportunity and remind you that despite the considerable effort that I made in writing the details concerning population dynamics (on this very page), you never did what you at the time had promised to do. I wonder why I had to go through all the trouble if it was for nothing. Kind regards, --BF 15:44, 10 December 2009 (UTC).

Article Feedback Tool update
Hey M samadi. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.

We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.

Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 21:39, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

2013 presidential election shahrestan official data?
Hi. At Talk:Iranian_presidential_election,_2013 you put a link to the low-level data - the link is now password-protected (ordinary apache authentication, it seems). Do you know where the shahrestan-level data is? If it's on a non-official site it would still be interesting, even though it's the official results which would be most interesting.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!
