Talk:Aydin Aghdashloo

message: Why is his name also translated into the Latin azeri script? He is not from the republic of Azerbaijan and as such the translation is irrelevant. I will thus be removing it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.208.154.118 (talk) 15:59, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Azeri Latin Script??? 

message: Aydin Aghdashloo is a very important Iranian artist and cultural figure and this page is in no way promotional. I'm not sure how this bot works and what parts of the article should be re-written but I have tried to follow Wikipedia rules in creating this page. I will however try to re-write the page very soon to follow the guidelines. 
Aydin Aghdashloo has been involved in Iranian culture - before and after the revolution - for 40 years. He's been building and managing museums, running art biennials, publishing extensive researches on Iranian art history and cinema and teaching in universities. He belongs to a generation of Iranian intellectuals which although effected by the Iranian revolution, stayed in Iran and worked to keep Iranian culture from deminishing. 
Because this discussion is very subjective and I am describing to a bot why Aydin Aghdashloo should remain on Wikipedia, I request some more specific feedback to what should be changed in this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Takinson (talk • contribs) 13:59, April 27, 2010
:I've tagged the article as requiring more references from reliable third-party sources. Most of the sources in the article appear to be self-published (blogs, personal websites, etc.), but the article should be built on reliable sources such as newspapers, books and magazines. Once you've added some more sources the tag can be removed (or you can comment here for review).

message: A lot of the article uses gregorian dating, but then out of nowhere there are a few places where it uses the Persian Jalali dating system, or the Hirji islamic calendar-- which is unclear and confusing to most readers of the article, and probably against wikipedia policy for consistent dating systems. Let's not make readers figure out 3 dating systems just to understand the chronology of this guy's life.
Examples:
"In the first years of 1360s Jalali, he researched and wrote teleplays of the two films "History of Writing" and "Traditional Workshops" for Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting"
"His book Evident and Hidden is describing a long interview with him in which Aghdashloo inspects and criticizes the cultural and artistic events of the 1340s Jalali in Iran."
"His writings have also had an important role in publicizing old artists like Mirza Reza Kalhor, Lotf-Ali Shirazi, and calligraphers and painters of the 12th and 13th Hijri centuries."
" Later, he exhibited a series of his books and handwriting, which included 140 books and pieces from fourth to fourteenth Hijri centuries, at Negarestan Museum and sold all of his series to the museum."
"In 1983, he helped the production of the series "Towards Simurgh" about the history of Iranian painting since the beginning until the fourteenth Hijri century by IRIB"
If someone already familiar with the Jalali and Hirji calendars can convert these dates to gregorian for the article that would be great-- there is really no good reason for suddenly switching to another calendar in the wikipedia.

replies: text: Flagged this with cleanup tag. If someone more familiar with these dating systems can consult https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS:ERA to make things more consistent, that would be great. Thanks 69.201.47.185 (talk) 15:24, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Use of Hirji and Persian Jalali era dates in article instead of gregorian 

message: Some allegations are being added to the page that are based on a couple of tweets. These allegations aren't verifiable. Also, the sexual misconduct allegation isn't proved and is only an allegation at this point. It should stay away from the opening paragraph. CameliaMTF (talk) 15:31, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Just one user (Shiraz Sangak) who keeps adding it back. I'm sure the article will get protected soon. I've fixed it for now. 217.132.165.144 (talk) 17:46, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

text: Not sure about Camelia but recent edits seem invested in the subject. For example, claiming that a person connected to the subject has "brought ridicule upon himself" is not objective. I think this article needs the attention of an admin. 217.132.165.144 (talk) 20:14, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

text: The Farnaz Fassihi tweets link to a controversial blogger named Afshin Parvaresh who is infamous for publishing yellow-journalism posts without any evidence or references and shouldn't be used as source. Also Aghdashloo's children references seems irrelevant to the topic. These allegations shouldn't be in the opening paragraph of the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by CameliaMTF (talk • contribs) 09:02, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

text: The recent edits on this page seem biased in a developing story. I agree about the tweet in question (Farnaz Fassihi) which I checked and links to nowhere . Since there is nothing other than this tweet regarding other victims it should be removed. Also there is a statement from Mr. Aghdashloo's students in his defence here  which is missing from this article. This section is now bigger than all the other sections with irrelevant quotes that seems to be a self-promotion from Ms. Omatali and Khezrheidari. Can admins look into this? 185.70.60.4 (talk) 15:20, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems like this article is being vandalized by one or two editors. Admins please check into this as there are no reliable sources and somebody has locked the article. 1- why is there a reference to this developing story in the opening line? 2- the  tweet used as source by Farnaz Fassihi is not a reliable source as it links to an Instagram page that was taken down for bullying and harassment. 3- None of the material in support of Mr. Aghdashloo are included here. I want to point out the sensitivity of this topic as there are false allegations of rape here without any source. As Mr. Aghdashloo lives in Iran and Iranian law has capital punishment for rape this is a very dangerous vandalism. CameliaMTF (talk) 10:42, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sexual misconduct allegations 

message: From the history of this page its evident Aghdashloo's son Takin (known as Takinson on Wikipedia) is behind the inception of this page, now well known for his defence of his father's accusations of sexual assault by referencing his father's royal lineage (twitter.com/takinson). It appears users such as CameliaMTF have been systematically attempting to edit out the recent accusations against Aghdashloo, who is one of the central figures in the #MeToo movement that reignited itself in Iran during August 2020. This should be a flag to the Wikipedia community to watch this page. Recent updates from IranWire were updated to the story by myself.
: Claiming I am Aydin Aghdashloo's son for editing this articles is ridiculous. Looking at your contributions it is more than evident that you are particularly invested in this topic and based on your logic you might be Ms. Sara Omatali or one of her family members.CameliaMTF (talk) 17:13, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aydin Aghdashloo's role in 2020 Iran #MeToo movement and subsequent edit wars to downplay his role on this page 

message: Aydin Aghdashloo’s Sexual misconduct allegations part of his page has a source that has been removed from Instagram( Afshin Parvaresh Instagram page was removed due to publishing these allegation without any reliable sources) Also there are several updates that are missing from his page including his recent works, many letters of support that he has received from his students, and his fellow artists. How can the page be unlocked so can be edited accordingly? A living artist page should not be locked as it has to be updated. No other artist had the controversy mentioned in the first paragraph of his bio specially when there is no proof. I hope page can unlocked so the correction can be done Thank you Mahshidboz (talk) 14:39, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Not done: The truth of the allegations is not at issue but whether the allegations have been made is. The allegations are reliable sourced to IranWire, the Washington Post, and the New York Times, among others.  Under the Core Content Policies and the Biographies of Living persons policy we do not attempt to discern "truth" but reliably-reported statements.  These are reliably reported.  The defense by a group of students is, on the other hand, not.  Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 20:10, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I think Eggishorn have missed the point of the edit request. I am not contesting The Washington Post or IranWire articles. However, none of sources refer to "22 allegations" but one tweet by Farnaz Fassihi which is an unreliable source as it links to nowhere. Also, the reference to this section in the opening paragraph (lead) is against Wikipedia's NPOV rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CameliaMTF (talk • contribs) 11:11, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
