Talk:Abu Hanifa Dinawari

message: Note Dinwari according to Encyclopedia Iranica is not Kurdish.  Also Yaqubi, the geographer and traveller maintains that Dinvar is a city whose inhabitants are a mixture of Arabs and Ajams.
According to prof. Mehrdad R. Izady he was a Kurd. Kirmashan and Dinawar are also predominantly Kurdish. Yaqubi says "Dinawar is a city whose inhabitants are a mixture of Arabs and Ajams." - Ajam originally means non-arabs, but has later come to define especially Persians, but the original meaning is non-arabs.
Dinawari was Kurdish. Just look at his book about the ancestors of Kurds. It's clearly written in a Kurd's POV. Plus, many of the Kurdish principalities/dynasties were circulated around Dinawar so Kurds did clearly form the majority of that area. There are no sign of him being Persian so I don't know why Encyclopedia Iranica is writing that he was Persian. But it's also important to know that around this time Kurds were seen as nomadic tribes of Persia and were also sometimes labeled as Persians. But still, he was what we today call Kurds and NOT Persian.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.249.87.235 (talk) 20:24, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Put the records right please

message: It seems strange to me that (given two calendars that don't start on the same day of the year) Wikipedia has a precise birth/death year in the Christian calendar and a range of two years for birth/death year in the Islamic calendar. I would think if any precise records of this individuals birth and death date exist they would use the Islamic calendar (which would then imprecisely correspond to a range of two years in the Christian calendar).

message: First of all, you should explain that "nationalism nonsense", that's a serious personal attack. Second, you should explain your revert with a good edit summary, some reason more than "nationalism nonsense". Both Iranica and EOI explicitly mentioned that he was of Iranian origin. There's a consensus regarding the unreliability of Britanica. And, as I mentioned, Ludwig W. Adamec is a specialist on modern Afghan history. That means we can't use Britanica or Adamec. So, either explain your revert, or I have to revert you. -- Mazandar (talk) 20:42, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Perhaps you should do some research next time before you revert and rudely call a users edit for "nationalism nonsense", William. Just wanna comment that 'Kurd' wasn't an ethnic term at that time, but was instead used to describe Iranian nomads. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:23, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

message: "Akrad" is the Arabic word for "Kurd". It does not mean and has never meant "nomad". Stop your bullshit and quit changing a historic fact.
The book is called "The origins of the Kurds". Not "The origins of the Nomads". If the book is about the origin of the nomads, then is it about all nomads the world has ever known? Do all nomads have the same ancestry? How is it even possible to write a book on the origins of a people with a ***LIFESTYLE***. It is obviously a book about the origins OF AN ETHNIC GROUP.
Go to the Arabic page and copy-paste the arabic-written title of that book and paste it in the translation service of your choice; it translates to Kurd and has always meant that.
There are plenty of historic castles in Syria and other parts of the Levant with "Akad" in their original name.
If you change it again, I will request this item to be revised by an admin and have you banned and this article locked.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.82.163.173 (talk) 13:13, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  To the anti-Kurdish Persian: stop changing the meaning of the word Akrad 

message: Can you explain us why Ludwig W. Adamec is not a reliable source? Is there a consensus regarding the unreliability of Ludwig W. Adamec? Btw what is the difference between these 1 and 2 edits? Why do you accept one but not the other? I don't think that Persian ethnocentric edits are helpful for neutrality of Wikipedia. ;) Cheers!

replies: text: Pretty rich of you accusing me of "Persian ethnocentric edits" when you think 1 source regarding a Kurdish origin equals 8 regarding a Persian origin. Also, that's not what WP:UNDUE means, feel free to read it when you are done casting WP:ASPERSIONS on your fellow editors. I simply overall reverted you - free to move the ethnicity down, I don't mind. --HistoryofIran (talk) 12:31, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
