message: Actually I am against the idea of the article Persian people.  Everyone know well that Persian speakers call themselves Esfahani, Khorasani, Mazandarani, Larestani, Hamadani, Yazdi, Araki, Qazvini, Shirazi and etc.  The name Persian as an ethnicity should be avoided.  What we should have is an article about Iranian people and just mention that Persian is understood by about 95%+  of the population (I have statistics on this) as a first or second language.  Then any relavent information can be put under Iranic speakers.  Persian is a language, but Iranian is the ethnicity.  Under the group of Iranian people we can say the majority of Iranian people speak Persian or related dialect/language (Baluchi,Kurdish,etc.) and these are termed "Iranians" and then we can discuss the Aryan history (Zoroaster, Medes, Achaemenid, Parthians, Persians) and etc.  The term Persian should just be reserved for the Persian-Dari language and the Persia as a Western equivalent to Iran.  That whole article on Persian people needs to be deleted since it can be hijacked by users that have ill intentions.  Our ethnicity is Iranian as our Aryan ancestors have bestowed upon us for more than 3000+ years and Dari-Persian (Persian for short) is the common language of Iran which is one of the Iranian languages.

message: i shifted Mitso Bel's comment to the following:
*2005-2006 US-Israeli threats to attack Iran: discussion for deletion of this article started 8 May, original research, POV claims
since someone has already claimed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2005-2006 US-Israeli threats to attack Iran that "votestacking" occurred here (on Wikipedia:Iranian Wikipedians' notice board) because of an overt request to "vote to keep" the article.
It seems to me reasonable that people knowledgeable about Iran - which in particular means Iranian people living in Iran - should be encouraged to participate in the discussion about whether or not to delete an article about threats to attack Iran. Let me quote Ayatollah Jimbo: Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing. What's the point of giving free access to the sum of all human knowledge to the 70 million people in Iran if that knowledge excludes the claims that many of them are threatened with being killed? Isn't that part of human knowledge?
On the other hand, we still want people to make decisions in line with the WP:NOR and WP:NPOV guidelines, and the question remains whether or not the article 2005-2006 US-Israeli threats to attack Iran is a valid encyclopedic article. Many people believe it should be deleted.
So if you feel you can contribute to the decision either to keep or to delete the article, please do so in a way that respects NOR and NPOV. Boud 00:26, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I have written an article about the Sassanid Byzantine wars.  Some of the information I actually got from Wikipedia but about 90% of it is from other sources.  The article can be read here: http://www.allempires.com/article/index.php?q=sassanids_byzantines
If you think it is suitable, I can add it to the Perso Roman Wars section.Iranian Patriot 03:50, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: also, some one should clearly point out here that this report : 2006 Iranian sumptuary law , was a falsification and untrue.  it is part of the policy to demonise the enemy before you attack (much like the run up to the iraq war).  also, it should be noted that the owners of that paper are conservatives who support US policy in the mideast.Iranian Patriot 03:58, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
