Talk:Ibn al-Haytham

message: I added "or Persian" to the lead section based on the below source:
*
The source in page 129 says: "One field in which mathematics played a prominent role was optics. The master of this branch of science was Alhazen, a Persian who lived in 10th Century."
Also in the beginning pages of the book it writes: "THE AUTHOR: Desmond Stewart is a British writer who for many years has lived and traveled widely in the Middle East. He completed his studies as a classical scholar at Oxford in 1948; in the same year he received an appointment as Professor of Literature from the Iraqi Ministry of Education, and subsequently taught in Lebanon. He has contributed articles on Middle Eastern affairs to British and American publications and is the author of The Arab World and Turkey in the LIFE World Library."
About the Consulting editor it writes: "THE CONSULTING EDITOR: Leonard Krieger, University Professor of History at the University of Chicago, was formerly Professor of History at Columbia and Yale universities."
I mean the Authors are experts in the field of history and the Middle East. But unfortunately my edits were reverted. I want to start a fresh new discussion here. --Academal (talk) 18:58, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: BTW, don't get me wrong. If I'm not responding and you see no activity by me, it doesn't mean I accepted Alhazen is not Persian, but it is because I don't have enough time to put effort on this matter. Before writing the above message, I had already gone through the Archives. I leave this matter for future generations. There are books from around 1500 AC, which specifically call Alhazen, a Persian. I hope once other researchers covered that part in secondary sources, and it became a solid fact, the Wikipedia article also be corrected. But I still believe, even the current sources are enough for "or Persian", like the one I mentioned above, or the ones collected in Archive 4. But future research might show ONLY "Persian" without "or". --Academal (talk) 16:27, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Persian origin of Alhazen 

message: The sub section "scientific method" should be removed from the section "book of optics" of this article as it is not related to optics. It deserves its own section or it should be placed in the section that discusses other works of ibn al haytham

replies: text: I am just saying that this topic deserves a separate section because the section 'Book of Optics' is about his contributions to optics like visual perception, Alhazen's problem, camera obscura etc

thread_title:  Scientific method in book of optics section 

message: This article doesn't mention Alhazen's contributions to catoptrics and dioptrics and focuses exclusively on Alhazen's contributions to theory of vision. Alhazen studied the nature of images formed by mirrors and lenses. He demonstrated that the incident ray, normal and reflected ray all lies on same plane. None of these things are mentioned in this article
