Talk:Abdol-Hossein Farman Farma

message: An infobox is needed. The layout of the article and how it is written could be cleaned up a bit. After that it could easily be a candidate for a good article. --Psychless 03:02, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have to disagree with your assesment. As other on this talk page have mentioned there are very few sources and all of them are written by his relatives. The article also contains no footnotes. For these reasons I am going to change its assesment to C class. Bosstopher (talk) 08:31, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Memoirs written by his daughter and other family members are not reliable sources since they are biased. --Agha Nader 22:26, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reliable Sources 

message: There is not a single one in this article.  And, yes, those written by members of this "clan" do not count.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.182.234.84 (talk) 01:02, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  References? Sources? Citations? 

message: In the lead it says that he had 8 wives, while later on in the article it says he had 4. Bosstopher (talk) 08:32, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contradiction 

message: I  removed three categories:  :Category:People from Tabriz (he was not from Tabriz, but from Tehran, as was his father); and Category:E'tedalion Party politicians. This last page doesn't make much sense in its current state. Reliable sources are needed to prove (1) that such a party existed, and (2) that Abdolhossein Farmanfarma was a member of it. I have also removed Category: Knights of the Garter, which is absurd as he never was the shah of Iran (and in Iran only shahs were ever appointed).
Another category need to be sourced:  that he was Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George is dubious; there might be a confusion with his son Firouz Nosrat-ed-Dowleh III, wo was awarded this honour. (This is confirmed by one of Nosrat-ed-Dowleh's  granddaughter, who has never heard or read that his father was awarded the same). Sapphorain (talk) 12:17, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: In passing, the article on the "E'tedalion Party" has since been deleted as an apparent hoax. -- Euryalus (talk) 13:29, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Categories 

message: The German page asserts the exact opposite ("Er unterstützte zunächst Mohammad Ali Schah politisch wie finanziell in seinem Kampf gegen die konstitutionellen Bewegung") of what the English page says ("During the Iranian Civil War Farman Farma sided with the constitutionalists who were victorious"). If no evidence is provided for one version, I will delete this part. Sapphorain (talk) 21:51, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Constitutionalists: reference needed 

message: He has been governor of five provinces, Kurdestan, Azerbaidjan, Kerman, Teheran, and Fars (Shiraz), in some cases several times. He was appointed only once in 1908 governor of Esfahan, but immediately  declined and refused to leave Teheran. So it does seem inappropriate to classify him as "governor of Esfahan". Sapphorain (talk) 21:37, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Governor of Esfahan? 

message: There is no evidence he was prime minister from February to July 1915. This is not mentioned at all in the chronology of his life in "Shahzdeh's tree". I put a "citation needed" tag on the dates of this alleged first term. Sapphorain (talk) 07:34, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
