The edict attributed to Mardavij in the "agenda" section seems like a recent forgery. He possibly could not know about Aryo-Barzan. Moreover the style and the language does not comply with the style and language used in lower middle ages in Iran.

Are there any credible references for this quote? If not, I suggest it should be removed. If the quote is indeed a forgery, as I strongly suspect it is, it violates Wikipedia's impartiality and truthfullness.

There are other problems with this page. Please let's get together and clean up the page so it becomes actually factual and useful.

April 25th, 2006: Since no one made a comment on the article, I removed the speech attributed to Mardavij. I will clean up the rest of the article later.

Anti Daylamite Sentiment

edit

Insistence on using the non-historic "Gilaki" term, Gilani is the typical term assigned to lowlander peasants & dehqans working Daylamite owned fields in the height of Daylamite political power, Daylamites were the ruling class who occupied the nexus of highland citadels overlooking Gilan & other easily accessible lowlands. No historic record of lowlander Gilani peasants establishing any dynasty. The medieval Caspian power base was always the Daylam citadels, until the arrival of the Mongols & later mainstream Islamic Turks who were able to rule from the lowlands by establishing garrison settlement & supressing what they considered heretic Daylamites.
