Talk:Hossein Derakhshan

message: The beginning summary of this article says (since not long): "It is assumed that the whole arrest story of him in November 2008 is a sham and that he has been collaborating with pro-Ahmadinejad groups on the rigging plot of presidential election of June 2009 eversince."
The reference is a blog article belonging to an individual and is solely his personal view of the story. I have no connection to neither persons but I assume that this sham claim is more of a conspiracy theory and it should be proved by a lawful resource rather than somebody's personal opinion!
I therefore removed the sentence! Note that "Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material — whether negative, positive, or just questionable — about living persons should be removed immediately and without discussion from Wikipedia articles". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.102.65.174 (talk) 16:03, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Sham" Claim 

message: Removed from the article; not especially relevant to a short bio
:Derakhshan supported Mostafa Moeen and Ali Larijani during the Iranian presidential election of 2005.  The election was boycotted by many Iranian opposition leaders who believed all the candidates had been co-opted - or would be co-opted if elected - by the regime in the oppression of its political opposition.
:Derakhshan visited Israel in January 2006. He claimed that he went to Israel as a symbol of dialogue between Iranian and Israeli people; his visit was widely covered by the Israeli media.
—Preceding unsigned comment added by Sj (talk • contribs) 
:The latter sentence concerning his visit to Israel is especially relevant. Do not remove again or you will be reported for vandalism. DragonRouge 20:58, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Random personal details 

message: There are a few unnecessarily long quotes on the page that need to be summarized instead of quoted. There are also a lot of unsourced claims about appearance in media, and generally the page appears to be pro-Derakhshan instead of being neutral. roozbeh 18:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

If every journalist who could be googled was on Wikipedia it would just be a who's who of the terminally vain.

message: Hoder's now been arrested in Iran. He's a Canadian... anyone who has initiated anything on his behalf please let us know. I've contacted my MP. You? --Jasonnolan (talk) 02:44, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Something useful, NPOV and notable would be to have a solid section about his arrest and support campaigns in this present article. i've started off a section by copying what's in the summary paragraph, but i'm sure there must be a huge amount of material. A problem could be people claiming that we cannot ever use blogs as references. The counterargument would be that in the case of a famous blogger who is arrested, a lot of the best references will naturally be among the blogging community. Boud (talk) 22:06, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

message: "However, his account of events were contradicted in an October 2006 interview.Iran, I blog., CBC News, October 2006> In this interview Hossein said his experience with the secret police "was quite friendly and professionally"."
I wanted to check on the validity of this claim that he contradicted himself and went to look for the referenced video.  I am unable to find it on the site.  Needless to say, a claim that he contradicted himself about one of the important events of his life to that point (being detained by Iran) is important enough that we need to make sure we get it right.  Does the source exist anywhere, and does it back up this claim?--Jimbo Wales (talk) 13:27, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: He is not Muslim, he is an atheist!

message: Someone put in www.roozonline.com as a source to claim that Hoder's release date was 19 November. That's rather vague sourcing. I didn't remove the claim (since it's credible), but I'll let someone else find the specific article on Rooz or another WP:RS - in Persian would be fine if it's a specific article.
The wording I put is also a little awkward, because the Thomson Reuters article doesn't say if the pardon and release were on the same date, or whether the pardon was in January or March 2014, which is hinted at by that article, without a direct claim. But better awkward correct (sourced) statements than elegant wrong ones.
