Should the page just be named after the individual or the incident? Think the "Amir Hekmati affair" might be more appropriate but ready to hear others opinions. Plot Spoiler (talk) 05:33, 10 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

It may be me being biased, since I created the article, but I think it should center around the actual person, rather than his surroundings, because he is more notable at this point than whatever repercussions we may see. If this escalates into something greater, then I will be all for changing it to center around the event, or, in fact, creating a separate article that links to this one. So, I'd say to sit tight and wait for repercussions before pursuing changing the context. DarthBotto talkcont 07:23, 12 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

IRIB this afternoon: Hekmati executed

edit

According to IRIB received here in Tehran this afternoon, Amir Hekmati was executed this morning. Can this be verified? --106.187.97.225 (talk) 15:12, 31 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

They repeated the news item in their Swahili broadcast yesterday. Seems to hold. Should this Wiki entry be updated?--185.94.31.80 (talk) 09:17, 1 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

According to this article Amir Hekmati may have been executed, or murdered from my perspective, on May 31, 2015. There probably has not been enough sources to substantiate this yet.[1]Easeltine (talk) 15:28, 1 June 2015 (UTC) The good news is that on Facebook, Free Amir Hekmati, dated June 1, 2015, 3 hours ago from 8:30 PST "In a phone call this morning to our mother, Amir asks us to thank each of you for all of your efforts on his behalf and for the support that you have given him and our entire family." Amir, still may be alive. [2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Easeltine (talkcontribs) 15:36, 1 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Photo in uniform

edit

It would be nice to use a photo that does not show him in uniform. He was a civilian when arrested, and he is primarily notable for being a civilian prisoner in Iran, not for being a soldier. At the time of his arrest (August 2011), he had not been in active military service for six years (since his discharge in August 2005). He was not notable while he was a soldier. —BarrelProof (talk) 03:20, 24 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Conflict of Interest

At https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Hekmati_Amir_92.jpg, an IP user claimed that he was the uploader of the image, User:Roninryu, and that he is the subject. That may or may not be true, but if it is, his edits here are in violation of WP:COI. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:02, 17 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
