Talk:List of pre-modern Iranian scientists and scholars

message: I couldn't help but notice so many mistakes concerning the profession of Physics. 
A person who studies, teaches or researches the science of physics is referred to as a Physicist and NOT a Physician as this article refers to. 
Please consider changing Physcian to Physicist. A physician (Physio) is a person who practices Physiotheraphy not Physics.
Thanks.
:It would be best if you pointed out which ones are you exacyly refering to.
:One must be careful. Some of these guys were both physicians and physicists. Polymaths were common in the classical era. 
:But alot of them were in fact only physicians.--Zereshk 03:33, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The disclaimer at the top says:
By "Iranian", all the peoples of historic Persia are meant, i.e. what is today Iran, Afghanistan, and all the countries of Central Asia ("common modern definition") that were historically part of the Persian empire .
This is a ridiculus statement. Iranians are simply all people that come from Iran. Many great names like Al-Farabi (from Turkestan or Afghinistan), Al-Biruni (from Uzbikastan), or Avicenna(from Uzbikastan) are not from Iran, so why are they (among others) listed in the list of Iranians ???

replies: text: You are mistaking what the west called Persia with Iran. Iran (i.e Greater Iran)is all of those territories that you mentioned. Iran has relatively recently broken up (within the past 300 years) and what Iran is today is what is left of what Iran was. That does not mean these people were not Iranians. They certainly were not from Uzbekistan or Afghanistan, etc... because all of these nations are relatively new, especially in the case of Uzbekistan, which is a very new nation. Claiming these people as Afghani or Uzbek because they lived in an area which eventually became "Uzbekistan" or "Afghanistan" is like calling the Aztecs Mexican because they lived in what later became Mexico. These people hailed from Iranian areas, and many of them were Iranian linguistically, culturally, etc...Azerbaijani 04:03, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Iranian here means ethnic Iranians .  Just like all Arabs are not from Arabia.  Avicenna was from Balkh which is still Persian speaking.  Biruni was Khwarazmian (Persian).  About Farabi  sources exist that he is Persian and some sources he is Turkish.  Afghanistan(19th century) and Uzbekistan(20th century) were created much later. --alidoostzadeh 05:20, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Arabs want to steal the Persian Gulf. Arabs/Turks/Indians want to steal Iranian heritage figures, and when you provide academic sources affirming their Persian identity like Oxford, Britanica, Encycl. Islam, they complain everything is Persianated. Why live in the shadows of Persians. Get your own historical/scientifical/philosophical/poetical figures! I'm running into a lot of governmental sites and cultural heritage sites that make these false claims. Very displeasing indeed. Thanks for all your hard work, and for at least putting up a good fight, even if it's merely on wikipedia. Merci!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ditc (talk • contribs) 18:24, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I think there are no persian and world scientist before Islam, Arab muslim were spread through the world teach many things, there are many Arab descent in persian scientists list....they should not be in persian list.
now there are no persians, Iran is not a persians, Iran is a mixture many nations mostly Arabs.
there's no need list of Arab or persian scientists...there should be a muslim scientists list, cause Islamic civilization did generate those scientists. Allah knows best  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shatree (talk • contribs) 08:55, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
