Talk:Nowruz

message: Hello,
I beleive it is inaccurate to describe Nowruz as Iranian or as from "Iran" as it undermines all other regions which are also persian. The Persian empire and its religion and traditions are larger than the region of "Iran" and emcompasses other regions such Afghansitan, Tadjikistan, Turkey and others. Therefore, I believe it will be more accurate to refrain from all mentions to "Iran" and keep the term "Persian" instead, ie:
"Nowruz (Persian: نوروز [noːˈɾuːz]) is the Iranian or Persian New Year..."
"It is a festival based on the Iranian Persian Solar Hijri calendar..."
"The day of Nowruz has its origins in the Iranian Persian religion of Zoroastrianism and is thus rooted in the traditions of the Iranian  Persian peoples;"
Overview
"The first day of the Iranian Persian calendar falls..."  
"the first month of the Iranian Persian solar calendar, which is the official calendar in use in Iran, and formerly in Afghanistan."
Please review and correct all the mentions to "Iran" or "Iranian" to "Persian" and "Persian regions" in the article. 204.138.127.13 (talk) 13:00, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

message: Now or No is the same word as new and just its pronunciation has been changed by the passage of time. Ruz is the same word as rise which its pronounciation has been changed in the same way. There are many words such as mother or brother which are in Iranian language just with different pronunciations. New Rise means new rise of the life in the spring ... 72.1.195.7 (talk) 18:29, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

message: Currently we have five images in infobox (excluding the map), and 4/5 images are from Iran. I think the images need to be diverse (representing different regions and celebrations); e.g. 2 images from West Asia, 1 image from Central Asia, and 2 images from another region or community.  What do you think? --Mann Mann (talk) 03:07, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: What do you think about this slightly different proposal; 2 images from Iran (the current Persepolis and haft-sin), 1 from another area in West Asia, 1 from Central Asia and 1 from another place? HistoryofIran (talk) 13:13, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmm... If we keep two images from Iran (Persepolis and haft-sin), then what about the image of Kurdish girl with a torch? She is from Iran too and I think it's a good image. I suggest keeping haft-sin in infobox and moving Persepolis to the a relevant section in the body of article. As for West Asia, an image from Azerbaijan would be a good choice. For Central Asia, I added Kazakh tradition. For another place/community, it could be from South Asia, Europe, Russia, or America. It just needs to be a quality image. --Mann Mann (talk) 16:56, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

message: @TheDoodbly No, it is not redundant! There exists only textual information. So visual map of these texts is not redundant. About inaccuracy, this image gives a general sense no need to be actually percise. The same as the image :File:Persian_Language_Location_Map.svg for  Persian language which is not accurate because does not contain for example, American Persians, but gives a good general sense. I revert your edit and if you disagree, please discuss here. Thanks, Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 06:50, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: It does not seem that much meaning is imparted by said visual information. What is the map supposed to tell us that the list isn't? Plus, its key is unsourced, and it is a poorly-done raster image, which immediately makes it a candidate for my reverting if added to an article. Remsense诉 09:02, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
