[edit] Lack of democratic reforms?
Although there is a merit to criticizing the limited extent of the democratic reforms during the white revolution, the statement that the revolution's program totally lacked such is wrong. As far as I know, it was during this period that women in Iran were given the rights to vote and to run for office in elections. This was one of the major reasons for the conservative clergy to criticize the white revolution. Shervink 11:56, 17 July 2006 (UTC)shervink
- After reading what you posted, I decided to join in on the article and balance out that statement. What do you think of it now? ♠ SG →Talk 13:48, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, I just thought this should be included somehow. Sounds good to me now. Shervink 14:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)shervink
- This article really needs some sources. I have some books that are about the White Revolution. One of them is by the Shah, it is called "Answer to History". Is it possible to use this book if what is sourced isn't POV? For example, the goals of the White Revolution. The Shah is obvioulsy not an independent source so I am not sure it would be wise to use his memoir, but as of now this article doesn't have any sources.

- Hi Agha Nader. It's great that you show interest in improving this (and related) articles. If you don't have any other sources at hand, I think using the Shah's writing is ok as long as you clarify that it is from him, so the reader does not get the impression that someone totally impartial has said it. By itself, however, I think it is good (even necessary) to include the Shah's views on the White Revolution. Shervink 16:20, 6 February 2007 (UTC)shervink
