Farmanfarmaian source edit

@Amir Ghandi: Hi, I managed to get a copy of Farmanfarmaian's 2008 book, War and Peace in Qajar Persia: Implications Past and Present. However, I when I search, I cannot find "Abdullah Mirza" or "Abdollah Mirza" or "Dara". The cited page, 195, appears to be a page with only a photo (Figure 8.1) of four people, including a baby. Would you help me to resolve this? Peaceray (talk) 21:05, 5 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

are you sure? i have the persian version and i asked from some that have the book and they all say the exact that i wrote in article Amir Ghandi (talk) 21:24, 5 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Amir Ghandi, I think it is likely that the spelling & pagination is different in the English version. Please see my email. Peaceray (talk) 22:21, 5 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Amir Ghandi, check down the links in this search & I think you will eventually find the book. https://www.google.com/search?q=table+of+contents+war+and+peace+in+qajar+persia&client=firefox-b-1-d&sxsrf=ALeKk00f7qdEXM5CDiifsGYCpa6zM_kI2g%3A1617667942441&ei=ZqdrYIe1GpPf-gTKx5OABg&oq=table+of+contents+war+and+peace+in+qajar+persia&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAxQAFgAYKFkaABwAHgAgAHYAYgB2AGSAQMyLTGYAQCqAQdnd3Mtd2l6wAEB&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwiHgMvYqujvAhWTr54KHcrjBGAQ4dUDCAw

Guild of Copy-Editors edit

Hi @Amir Ghandi:, you've done a great job on this article so far. I would suggest listing this article at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests once you're done, as there are some serious grammar/prose issues that may hamper the GA review. Keep up the good work! - LouisAragon (talk) 21:36, 5 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

thanks @Amir Ghandi:, if your not busy, would you take a look on Khosrow Mirza article? Amir Ghandi (talk) 21:53, 5 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • User:Headbomb/unreliable finds the source from Maryam Thaqafi (sid.ir) as a predatory source which states: There is community consensus to deprecate the source. The source is considered generally unreliable, and use of the source is generally prohibited. This include a slew of predatory publishers and journals, propaganda, fake news, and other terrible sources of information. The source should only be used in exceptional circumstances, similar to blacklisted sources, but these circumstances are not as rare.
    • should i delete the source and the sentence "He was interested in Fortune-telling through Astrology and wrote few books on it."? Amir Ghandi (talk) 10:50, 15 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yes, delete the reference, but I would try searching for a replacement before deleting that sentence. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 11:18, 15 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
