Makes sense, I guess, since Iran proper probably doesn't appreciate Wikipedia very much and can borrow Great Firewall tech from China but probably should be its own separate Persian Empire Wikiproject. In any case, if any of you can read Farsi, the history section at Rasht is a bit of a mess. The few English sources on the place's history list prior names that other English sources attribute to a different nearby city. The name is derived from textile verbs in English but an Iranian source somehow attributes it to the place's location between two rivers. &c. &c. &c. Everyone else on the English net mentioning this city seems to be copying us and our unsourced probably mistakes, so it could really benefit from some cleanup from the Encyclopedia Iranica or similar Persian sources. — LlywelynII 11:43, 8 March 2024 (UTC) Ugh... There is an EI article that covers Rasht but it apparently sucks at a historical level. It pretends the city began in the 14th century, while the article on its province notes that Muslim apostles to the area were being buried "in Rasht" in the 10th century. — LlywelynII 13:28, 8 March 2024 (UTC) Iran-related hoax?

RodRabelo7 (talk) 23:46, 9 April 2024 (UTC) Official source for presidential election results Is there an official source or database for the results of presidential elections? For most of the elections, the results from different sources are quite different, so it would be good to have a definitive source.

Competitors may submit GAs, GTs, FAs, FTs, FLs, FPs, and DYK and ITN entries from/on developing countries to gain points and climb the leaderboard. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs. Iran is listed as a developing country for the purposes of this contest and articles related to it are eligible to be submitted for points, so I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content!

Web-julio (talk) 01:26, 24 June 2024 (UTC) Afsaneh Salari Could someone from this WikiProject take a look at Afsaneh Salari and assess it per WP:BIO? The article was originally submitted as a draft to WP:AfC, but was declined. The creator then moved essentially the same declined version to the mainspace themselves, but it was draftied for the reasons given at User talk:Mr.izadpanah#Draftification of Afsaneh Salari. The creator then moved it back to the mainspace. I asked an administrator who posts at WT:AFC about this at User talk:Primefac#Afsaneh Salari and it was suggested that WP:AfD would need to be next step if the subject doesn't meet WP:N. WP:BEFORE doing that, I'd thought I see whether anyone else feels this WP:NEXISTS and just needs better sourcing (perhaps even sources not in English). -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:17, 21 July 2024 (UTC) Wikiproject Would anyone be interested in joining a sub project of WP:Anthropology on oral tradition?

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts. We hope to see you there!

Hello! There's a Persian related film up for deletion and it looks like if sources do exist, they are not in English. Can someone take a look? The film in question is Nations Cultures. There's possibly nothing out there, but worth asking. Part of my reason for reaching out is that the film might not be called the same thing in Farsi, as I tried finding the film by using Google Translate and found nothing substantial.
