Seyed Mohammad Marandi
Hi this BLP that you have written has been reported to the Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard - perhaps you would comment or join in the discussion there - I think the main issues are the quality of the sources WP:RS and the neutrality of the overall article WP:NPOV and those issues create a violation of pour WP:BLP policy. Personally I wound say the article needs a degree of rewriting and the sourcing improving. I have also nominated the picture for deletion at commons, where did you get it? Youreallycan (talk) 22:53, 2 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi,
 * Thank you very much for the notification. I will certainly join the discussion. I agree with you about rewriting the article. It is already time for that, since the article was originally written a long time ago. As regards the sources, they are quite trustworthy beyond dispute. However, I will entertain suggestions as for the overall improvement of the article. The picture is public domain, and you can find it on the net anywhere by searching for the subject's name in Persian.

 * Hi thanks - can you provide a link to where the pic is stated to be public domain. You have the pic currently with this statement - I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following license:w:en:Creative Commons attribution share alike 	This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license. -

This license asserts that you are the owner of the rights ot the picture which is incorrect as per your comments you are not the owner. The picture appears to be a cropped screen grab from this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMUF8leJ_mM - Youreallycan (talk) 01:17, 3 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Here is a link: Seyed Mohammad Marandi. I am not the owner of the picture, but I remember I chose the closest option to public domain I came across. That is all.
 * Timelesstune 02:36, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link - there is a Public domain template at commons and if we can verify it we can change the template and close the deletion discussion at commons.

My Persian is zero - I have translated it to English and can't see where it says the article or the picture is Public domain? sorry to be a nuisance, can you point me to it? I am logging off now, so no hurry, no worry, stays open for at least seven days so we can sort in over the next few days, regards. Youreallycan (talk) 01:41, 3 December 2011 (UTC)


 * My dear friend, as this whole project is an open one, you, or anyone else, for that matter, have a perfect right to know why I used this picture. If you studied the history of my activities on Wikipedia, you would know that the first article I created was a bio of the writer and political activist, Reza Parchizadeh, which was unfortunately deleted after a very long and strenuous discussion. During that discussion, I was forced to contact Parchizadeh to corroborate a few pieces of information on him. I have since kept in touch with him. The open letter you translated, wherein the picture is inserted, is Parchizadeh's. He in person allowed me to use the picture in this article. He also said he had no claims on it.
 * Timelesstune 03:20, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
 * This Parchizadeh person, he is an opponent of the subject of the article, yes? Are you connected to this Parchizadeh person in a way that could be considered a WP:COI ?  - you wrote an article about him, since deleted,  that was described as a promotional resume and you are the main author of an article about his political opponent that has been reported as basically attacking in nature? Youreallycan (talk) 15:24, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

To say that Parchizadeh is a political opponent of the subject of this article is not to put it accurately. He is a human rights activist, and he is opposed to the way Marandi misrepresents the events in Iran. When the protesters to the outcome of the rigged Iranian presidential election of 2009 were being executed in Iran, and when Marandi was telling the foreign news agencies that those people were saboteurs who deserved to be executed, Parchizadeh was the only one who spoke out against him. Dr. Ahmed Shaheed's recent report of the status of human rights in Iran to the UN is now evidence enough that Parchizadeh was right.

I came to know him through his many articles on the subject, and later his books, and, with regard to his humanitarian activities, thought that he deserved to have an article in Wikipedia. That is why I wrote that article, completely without his knowledge. As a matter of fact, I came in contact with him only when the article was about to be deleted. Now, I respect him, and I admire his work. Sometimes I also send him emails and ask him about things. Beyond that, there is nothing else. It is not a political campaign, I assure you.

Timelesstune 09:15, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

This is Parchizadeh's latest article on the storming of the British embassy in Tehran, “Legatration, War and Crisis Management in the Premises of the Islamic Republic”. If you are really interested in finding the truth, read it and compare it with Marandi's account of the same event. I am not necessarily talking about facts, which are there, by the way; rather, what I am talking about is the sanity of the argument.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:19, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Seyed Mohammad Marandi. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:22, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at Seyed Mohammad Marandi. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:35, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The edit-warring on Seyed Mohammad Marandi has been going on way too long, and you simply must stop. Even if you are firmly convinced you are right, edit-warring is not acceptable and just gets you blocked - as you have now discovered after ignoring my warning, above. You should discuss your dispute on the article Talk page and seek consensus, and if that is not successful, please see WP:DR for help with resolution of the dispute. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:38, 8 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I have also looked more closely at the edits you have been making to the article, and they clearly breach Wikipedia's WP:NPOV policy. You must not include any of your own judgments or conclusions, and the article must not be written to appear to take one side in any debate or for the article narrative itself to make editorial-style comments. For example, one of the sentences that you were warring to include was "With regard to Marandi's allegedly questionable conduct in presenting unreliable accounts of the events in Iran to the outside world" - loaded phrases like "allegedly questionable conduct" and "unreliable accounts" have no place in the narrative of an encyclopedia entry. (I appreciate they are not much different to the sentence you were replacing, but neither version of that sentence is remotely acceptable here) -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:41, 9 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Dear Boing! said Zebedee, thank you very much for your due comments and actions. I am going to edit the article and remove the alleging or offensive commentary from it. Please supervise the edit after it is done. By the way, could you or anybody else you see fit possibly keep an eye on this article? As you see and as I explained before, the subject of this article is a controversial individual, so it is likely that the article be vandalized again. I'd much appreciate it.


 * Timelesstune 11:05, 10 December 2011 (UTC)


 * The editing is done. Please see to it.

disputed content
Hi - the repeated edit warring over this disputed content is better avoided in a BLP article about a living person. I have removed it to the talkpage for discussion and evaluation.


 * Talk:Seyed_Mohammad_Marandi

I have made a few comments there, please join in on the talkpage, until we have resolved this through discussion please do not replace the disputed content - thanks - Youreallycan (talk) 01:43, 11 December 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem. I needed that specific source to further corroborate the facts. As far as it is logically maintained that the practice of the subject of the article with regard to the presentation of events is not in accordance with reality, it is not that important that one of the sources be left out. After all, this whole project is about telling the truth. Timelesstune 01:25, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
 * No, the project is *not* about truth - it is about reliably sourced verifiability and notability. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:32, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Then I trust the sources included are adequate enough in the regard? Aren't they?


 * Timelesstune 01:55, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm deliberately keeping away from offering an opinion on the content and sources themselves, as I am acting only in an admin capacity here and need to avoid WP:INVOLVED. Consensus on the article Talk page is the way to decide on the reliability of the sources -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:00, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Good. I understand what you mean. I hope what is right be done. Thank you for your impartial administration.
