- I think it would be better if you mentioned this in parentheses somewhere in a reference section down in the article itself, so as to prevent any future possible deletions.--Zereshk 01:37, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- I did it. Thanks. -- Mensen 10:19, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] section on medicine
We must have a separate section on medicine, since the achievements there are relatively numerous. I can write a paragraph or two to upstart the section. Agree?--Zereshk 23:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Agreed --Kash 01:53, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Persian vs. Iranian
Hi! I'm doing a copyedit of this article as a member of the League of Copyeditors. I noticed that throughout the "modern" sections of the article, people are referred to seemingly interchangeably as Persian and Iranian. My understanding was that Persian is the ancient description of the country and people, while Iranian should be used to refer to modern country and its citizens. Is this the case? What is the date that Iran became a modern state (i.e., what is the "cutoff" date for calling someone Persian, if any?) Galena11 19:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your kind helps. Before 1935 the country was called Persia. So we can use this naming convention for science accordingly. Sangak 19:37, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Would this also apply to Persian literature? Galena11 19:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- No! Persian literature is associated with Persian language. there is no other name for Persian literature. Sangak 19:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- OK, so it should always be "Persian" throughout the literature article, and never Iranian? Galena11 19:41, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes! Thanks. Sangak 19:46, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Great, thank you for the clarification! Galena11 19:49, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
