Persian or Tajik or even Azeri? edit

Hello Jahangard!

Why did you remove the word Tajik where it was follower Persian and Tajik poet. Is it because Azeri Tusi lived in Tus in Iran?

What about Rudaki? Is he still Persian poet? He was was born in Panjrud-modern Panjakent. So I am going to add Tajik to this article.

I haven't edited Rudaki. About Homam Tabrizi and Azari Tusi, they were not Tajik. Persian-speaking people who live in west of Iranian plateau are not called Tajik. This word is used for those who live in Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. Jahangard 15:42, 19 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Also, the word Azari in Azari Tusi does not refer to his ethnicity. Jahangard 15:47, 19 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
