Talk:Azar Nafisi

message: Mitso Bel I am removing the addition about the veil since there are no substantiating references. -- Thenothing 18:29, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's in a CBC interview I just added as a source. Robincantin (talk) 19:55, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I don’t know where to put this, since i’m not a WP editor and am unfamiliar with process. But i believe there’s an error in the excerpt from Atwood’s review of Reading Lolita in Tehran. I think the word ‘dismissal’ should be replaced by ‘vindication.’ 104.175.75.57 (talk) 22:25, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  New additions to article re veil 

message: Nafisi has been accused of having close relations with neoconservatives.[1][2] In the acknowledgements she makes in Reading Lolita in Tehran, she writes of historain Bernard Lewis as "one who opened the door". Lewis is the author of "What Went Wrong", a book which has been criticised in academic circles for its sweeping generalisations about the Islamic world, [3] and is also associated with neoconservatism. [4]
I suggest we delete this--CltFn 03:28, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It must be kept in the article. Numerous American authors and US-based Iranian professors wrote articles in US and European newspapers to make this point clear. It is not possible to write an acceptable encyclopedic article about Azar Nafisi without mentioning these points.-- Sina Kardar 12:17, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Azar Nafisi is associated with Neoconservatives. And this is important. (Already disscussed above). -- Joe Dynue 14:35, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

text: CltFn, define "original research" please or state what facts you are disputing. Since these are facts, I believe they are relevant to her being associated with neoconservatives, and emphasizes the point. Please add the edit back. - Thenothing 18:26, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

:Nafisi finally left Iran on June 24, 1997, moving to the United States, where she became close friends with Paul Wolfowitz, who introduced her to the writings of Leo Strauss. 
Ive been through the references at the bottom of the article but it doesn't seem to come from any of them, although maybe I missed it. Mutt 19:40, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Neoconservatism Section 

message: I removed this Exile and Literature: 06/16/03 audio: Azar Nafisi and Dmitri Nabokov from the article because it was listed under references but didn't indicate which bit of the article it was a reference for, and was add ([ diff]) without any addition or change to the article's content.  I don't have RealPlayer on my machine so I can't even do the research to work out whether it's a reference, aa worthwhile resource, or simply a link someone liked and added.  So I thought I'd leave it here in case someone else was interested in researching it.  -Siobhan Hansa 18:58, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this a reference? 

message: Was given as December 1, 1955. Interesting how such a huge mistake could be overlooked. Then again, this article seems to have attracted relatively little attention in the last two years, or even the last four years. Her autobiography, Things I've Been Silent About, was published two years ago in 2008. Although she is evasive about her age throughout this book, it is clear she was born in either 1947 or 1948. She reports she was sent abroad for schooling starting with England in the fall of 1961, after eighth grade. Although it would be consistent with the text that she started tenth grade, ninth grade is more likely, which narrows down her age to within a two year range (conceivably, within a three year range).

replies: text: This may or may not be true, but regardless you'd need a definite source to back up this assertion that states the exact year, otherwise it's original research.  So far, the only sources that mention her birthdate give 1955 as the year. Laval (talk) 13:10, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
