message: Our data is usually compressed to reduce size - improve transmission efficiency, what also makes it more noise-like: difficult to detect. I wonder if it is taken into considerations for hypothetical SETI signals?

thread_title:  Given name 

message: It seems quite wrong to refer to the Barretts of Ireland, in Connacht and Munster, as "Anglo-Irish", a term usually used to describe an eighteenth-century English/British community in Ireland. The Barretts have been in Ireland since shortly after 1169. There is extensive evidence that they had all become wholly gaelicised, had established their families into septs, operated under Brehon Law and spoke Irish. In this context, it just sounds wrong to call the Irish family "Anglo-Irish". A good analogy would be calling the Fitzgerald family of Norman origin "Anglo-Irish". It wouldn't happen. If there is an English family, perhaps then it would be better to say that Barrett is a surname which is both Irish and English, representing at least two separate families, of Norman and English origin respectively?

Talk:Amir Arsalan

message: Hello all,
I have expanded the plot section to add relevant details on the progression of the story. I intend to summarize the entire plot from start to finish, since the old Plot section only included the first 21/400 pages of the text. However because of the story's length, I will be doing so in several sessions.
I am a big fan of the story (of anything Persian TBH) and have/will be referencing both Aziz Ansary's and Darius Reshvani's English-language translations. I also intend to add historical context with sources so that English-only speakers can learn in-depth about the epic from this page. Many of the Persian terms are not familiar to the U.S. audience and as a result the story can feel flat and alien. My goal is to bring increase cultural understanding of the epic and hopefully increase the story's popularity in the U.S. as a result. An understanding of the geographical and political environment at the time the story was transcribed for the first time will enhance an understanding of the text. 
If I find any more English translations of the text I will add them to this page as well. Basically my goal is just to turn this into a full-fledged page to the best of my ability. 
Thank you! I look forward to hearing what you think of the changes.  Iloveschiaparelli (talk) 05:28, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

message: The current intro omits the ordinary firman, or written permission for a foreigner to be in the Islamic country. The ordinary traveller could buy one in lieu of a passport.

Talk:Mehrdad

message: I suggest to cut the connection to Afghanistan, because old Persian or Persian Empire was the land which is now mainly current Iran (the local name was always Iran). Afghanistan's history begins from the time when it was seperated from the Persian Empire - or maybe even later. So speaking about Mehrdad as a part of Afghanistans history is like saying Romulus and Romus are a part of German history just because Germany was some day a place in Roman Empire!
Mubed 19:17, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed the following content due to not being sourced.
The name is derived from Mehr, an angelic Zoroastrian divinity (yazata) of covenant, light, and oath. The Persian word mehr (مهر) also means "sun" or "love", while dād (داد) means "given". So, the literal meaning of Mehrdād (مهرداد) is "given by sun" or "given by love".
Mehrdad is a historical Persian name that derives from Middle Persian Mihrdāt (Old Persian Miθradāta), a theophoric name meaning 'given by Mehr'.
