Talk:Assembly of Experts

message: In the Function section, the entry states:
"Whenever the Leader becomes incapable of fulfilling his constitutional duties, or lobs one of the qualifications mentioned in" Constitution, "or it becomes known that he did not possess some of the qualifications initially, he will be dismissed."[5] (The assembly has never dismissed a sitting Supreme Leader.)
Then in the History section, the entry states:
The Assembly of Experts of the Leadership was first elected and convened in 1983. The first Assembly of Experts chose Ayatollah Montazeri as the successor to Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Khomeini. In 1989, however, they reversed their decision and dismissed him after Khomeini denounced him.[12
This was confusing to me, seeming to either be contradictory or imply that Montazeri wasn't a 'sitting Supreme Leader'. 
Clarification?
:Montazeri never was a sitting Supreme Leader.  He was in line to succeed Khomeini before Khomeini got mad at him.  The Behnam 18:06, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Is Supreme Leader elected from amoungst the members of the Assembly of Experts or from outside the Assembly ?

thread_title:  A question 

message: Using Ayatollah is wrong. Because the members should be Mujtahid not ayatollah. Some of the members are Hojatoleslam. Even a candidate for 4th assembly of experts ,Mohesen Esmaeli  , isn't a cleric. I mean the abality of interpreting Islamic law is essentioal.--Sa.vakilian 10:46, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The Behnam tries to delete this section. He/She says in the http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assembly_of_Experts&diff=106135110&oldid=106095089 that: "seriously, no OR, no POV, just like Guardian Council. This is WP, not MKO website." 
He/She tries to accuse other people who are not in agreement with him/her as being terrorists, anti-IR, anti-mullah, etc. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Guardian_Council#Vicious_Circle to see his/her impolite wordings. Farhoudk 15:32, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You know we are discussing an identical section elsewhere, so stop pretending that my reverts are without justification.  Please see  and you will see that Farhoudk is now pretending that there is no discussion about this section.  The section is practically the same, and has the same problems, and so does not belong on the page.  Patchouli and Farhoudk, please stop pushing your POV on WP.  Thanks!  The Behnam 15:35, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

text: We will not re-add the section here or anywhere else until we reach a resolution at the primary discussion.  The Behnam 15:36, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I regret to inform that the "vicious circle" not only should be inserted in the Guardian Council article but also in the Assembly of Experts and Constitution of Islamic Republic of Iran as well. Farhoudk 16:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have responded at the Guardian Council talk page.  Could we keep the discussion there in its entirety? It is annoying jumping between pages just to say that a response to the same thing was posted elsewhere.  The Behnam 19:24, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vicious circle 

message: I am not sure why someone would add the picture description "Mullahs-in-chief" to the this image . I suspect it is vandalism. It seems that user Patchouli had added the image and the description. Unless there is an explanation to the description, I will remove it. Agha Nader 02:54, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please do.  That kind of description is perfectly in line with Patchouli's edits, but is not in line with WP rules.  It appears to be an opinionated description.  If you need a formal explanation, consider that there is no such thing as a mullah-in-chief.  The Behnam 02:58, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Confirmed: Patchouli added the image along with the description here .  The Behnam 03:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The picture itself is sort of no-value-added, and doesn't have any real details, so it may as well be removed in its entirety.  Just some random picture from IranFocus.  The Behnam 03:04, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for removing it. I hope user Patchouli will answer for this obvious POV edit. Agha Nader 03:13, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nonsensical Picture Description 

message: I confused the two as Gerash77 called to my attention. My mistake.  Since I've been making mistakes I'll ask a question before editting. 
Could not the sentence "The Assembly of Experts of the Leadership was first established in 1983." be made clearer by saying "The Assembly of Experts of the Leadership was first elected and convened in 1983." --Leroy65X 18:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that would be better. Thanks.--Gerash77 19:07, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Confusion over assembly of Experts for the Constitution and for the Leadership

message: Can someone cite the source that describes how many assembly members each province can elect?  For example why does Tehran have 16 members while Kerman has three.  Is it based on population where the more populated provinces have more members?  I am interested in the answer, but more interested in a citation of Iranian law as mentioned in Article 108 of the Iranian Constitution. Throckmorton Guildersleeve (talk) 15:05, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

message: just fodder for someone else to note, Rafsanjani's out as president and there seems to be some strangeness with who are the vice presidents. If I understand things right, the 1st VP is born in Najaf and used to run SCIRI there which is tied to Ayatollah Sistani. TMLutas (talk) 07:05, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
