September 2013
Hello, this is minissa. I had tried to update the "Persecution of Baha'is" section back in late May/early June and didn't notice that I had messages on my request to help format my citations properly. So it looks like another editor just reverted the info when I didn't reply, which means the info in this article regarding numbers of who is in jail in Iran (or awaiting trial, etc) is really out of date as of at least June, 2013. My source for my exact numbers was Anthony Vance, director of the Baha'i Office of Public Information in Washington, whom I guess is as straight from the horse's mouth as one can get in the USA. His info was this: "as of May, 2013, 116 were imprisoned but at least another 448 are awaiting trial or sentencing. Some are deprived of any communication with others, and have not had formal charges laid; in recent months in Semnan, mothers with nursing infants as young as 1 month of age have been imprisoned." I think the problem was that I signed the update (which I thought you were supposed to do) but I guess that made it look like I was the source, or was sourcing myself, although on the talk page I clearly said I was trying to source a formal statement from Vance and didn't know quite how to do that. I can run over to some of the genocide watch sites and see if their info is current and then cite them if that would be better. I just hate to see this inaccurate info sitting under "current situation" when there's better info from a reliable source, even if that source happens to be primary, and when recent news now includes a religiously-motivated murder, a letter from the female Evin inmates to the new president of Iran, the summer elections, new legislation in our own House and Senate, and so on. Can you steer me in just getting these statistics updated? The editor who actually reverted the info lists as being on an extended vacation, and you were the one other who commented (plus looks like you keep abreast of Baha'i affairs).

 * Since you are new to wikipedia you should learn how people do things rather than presume you know what is right. That has been a problem of yours since the beginning.--Smkolins (talk) 11:54, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
