Talk:Nuclear program of Iran

message: Hey all, I just found that the first two paragraphs of section 2.5.2 is a copy/paste of page 171-172 of the book How Iran Plans to Fight America and Dominate the Middle East by Gabriel G. Tabarani.  Either that or that author did a copy/paste from this wikipedia page, though I doubt that.  See this link for the book from which it was stolen. 
I don't edit wikipedia often, so I don't know what the procedures are for reporting this.  Hopefully this is okay, what I'm doing.

replies: text: Good call. It seems that the author in question copied from wikipedia. See this edit by  on 2 April 2007. It looks like that paragraph developed organically. The book was first published more than a year later, on 16 October 2008. Uglemat (talk) 11:16, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

message: Why an article  is used to prove Iranian role in Argentina bombing in one occasion , but it can not be mentioned for balancing the POW and giving the alternative explanation ? ( my edit is reverted  ) --Alborz Fallah (talk) 04:35, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The claim I reverted seemed to be sheer speculation. NPguy (talk) 02:29, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Whole story of Iranian role is still a claim . No international court has sentenced Iran yet . I think if we are going to show the claims , it is reasonable to show both sides view . Isn't it against WP:NPOV to use an article in one occasion and dismiss it as "only a claim "  in other occasion ?--Alborz Fallah (talk) 12:10, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: You may be right that the entire article is speculative and should not be cited here either way. NPguy (talk) 03:07, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Other article from Asia Times , "Argentina's Iranian nuke connection" is also expressing the opposite point of view from the sentence that is been cited in this wikipedia article: "Some have linked attacks such as the 1992 attack on Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires and the AMIA bombing as part of an Iranian campaign to pressure Argentina into honoring the agreements" . The Asia times says :"... Argentina was continuing to provide Iran with low-grade enriched uranium and the two countries were in serious negotiations on broader nuclear cooperation when the bombing occurred. " and " undermine the official argument that Iran's top leaders were motivated to order the bombing by Argentina's decision in 1992 to cut off its supply of nuclear materials to Iran." More than that , Some in the beginning of first sentence seems to be a WP:WEASEL .--Alborz Fallah (talk) 16:18, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This article was mentioned in the press.  Normally, that would be a compliment.  Unfortunately, this recognition was not for content, but excessive length. At 270,000 characters, the article is not useful to a lay WP reader. To start, the lede is too long to give a compact and cogent overview.
Four hundred twenty-one references demonstrate that a lot of work went into creating this article.  It  would be a shame to lose it. Therefore chopping out some detail and relegating it to subsidiary articles makes sense. Most of these subsidiary articles already exist.  A couple of new ones would cover the U.S. positions 2006- present and Iran positions. 
What other ideas? Rhadow (talk) 15:40, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely agree. The article should be cut by 80% down to 50 kb. --Ita140188 (talk) 11:38, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, I have tried today to reduce much of the lede and summarize, but needs work. I will continue on this in my sandbox. I hope my contributions are useful. Chavmen (talk) 00:09, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
