# Talk:Ismail II

The style of illustration is the reference for Bidjan's Tarikh-i Djahangusha-yi Khaqan Sahibqiran depiction of Esmaeil I and is just standard for nearly all illustrated manuscripts of Alamara-ye Shah Esmaeil.

If one looks at the full page it's normal unrhymed prose from a historical work, not set as poetry at all so even someone who doesn't speak a lick of Persian must have to realize that this can't be Shahnameh and I really wonder how this article passed GA review when a glaring mistake like this concerns the very first information in the Infobox.

Now, if we do speak a lick of Persian the text literally begins telling us the person depicted undertakes military campaigns in Khuzestan as Shah... Shah Esmaeil I certainly did so in 1508 CE, but Esmaeil II? Well the fifteen months he was in power are pretty much described on this page. 
Then there is the second character in the picture the one being made a govenor by our Shah in the picture: Shah Rostam Abbasi.
You know the guy with the big beard he has to shave that looks like this in essentially all Persian miniatures of him and who was confirmed by Esmaeil I...
