Content Dispute I m going to try and mediate the Iranian peoples dispute here could you please post your arguments there and we ll try and come to an reasonable comprimise 1 Hi History section needs clarification while linguistically all of those people are related but it does not mean that ethnically they are all related to eachother I am pointing to the last paragraph of the history section It should be clarified Thanks Talk Modern Persians themselves are a diverse group of peoples descended from various Iranian and indigenous peoples of the Iranian plateau including the Elamites Although all Persians are linguistically connected to each other ethnic backgrounds are diverse with many different cultural traits Would something like that be preferable to you Yes but the word Iranians instead of Persians Persians are by themselves a member of that linguistic group Talk Ok I stand corrected I m not familiar with the topic matter at hand here I m googling trying to find information if nobody objects I propse changing the paragraph to the above it seems clearer to me No sorry this paragraph Thus not unlike the previous example of Germanic peoples involving the English who are of mixed Germanic and Celtic origin Iranian is an ethno linguistic group and the Iranian peoples display varying degrees of common ancestry and or cultural traits that denote their respective identities Talk Here I meant Iranian peoples linguistically are related but it does not mean that ethnically they are all related to eachother so the claim refering to common ethnicity in the articler is not correct Talk Ok is Germanic peoples involving the English who are of mixed Germanic and Celtic origin also an ethno linguistic group If so should we add only to Iranian is an ethno linguistic group and the Iranian peoples display varying degrees of common ancestry and or cultural traits that denote their respective identities The Iranian people Unlike gernmanic people are from quite different etnicities like Turkic Persian and others uncertain The whole sentence is wrong and POV we should drop the word common ethnicity and clarify that it is only a linguistic term Talk 2 The info box does not belong here Iranian peoples are not an ethnic group They are several different ethnicities speaking different languages It should be removed as in any other linguistic group Talk I think you have a valid point there I would like to see the argument to the contrary before making a recomendation though 3 Aryan is a linguistic term that refers to an ancient language group that was ancestral to the Indo European family of languages
