message: Whoever added the Arabic template is mistaken! For the hundredth time, Iran's language is Persian, not Arabic! I added an Arabic translation, though. The name should also be translated into Persian. --Anas Salloum 20:39, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

message: This article needs extensive citations. It is mentioned that 2nd stage is derived from Taepodong-1 and 3rd stage is of Chinese design. Iran has apparently announced these are of internal design. Strong citations are needed to prove or at least make the claims strong. Please discuss if you do not agree. 60.53.173.190 (talk) 11:51, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I had no desire to inflate (or diminish) the accomplishment. I've added, as planned from the beginning, some references & further relativisation of the claims. Feel free to improve upon the text, but I think it stands close to as neutral as knowledge at this time will allow. Personally, I wouldn't mind independent confirmation that the satellite really is up there, & to stay, & for that a little more time has to pass. Sincerely --nielspeterqm (talk) 12:43, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Now it almost obvious that the launcher has been a 2 stage rocket not a 3 stage Discussion. In addition Iranian animation of the launch Youtube Video shows a 2 stage launcher. The satellite has been released using spring method from a relatively big 2nd stage (as also discussed in previous reference). Sarmadys (talk) 02:34, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article is wrong 

message: There is an issue about whether ISA said they were going to have a man on the moon by 2025. The source given was  this. The only other internet source I found on a quick hunt was this. Is there any knowledge about this? I couldn't find anything on the Space Agency site other than that they were going for manned space flight within 10 years. Fainites barleyscribs 11:26, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the claim, simply because there is no Iranian source to back it up. There are plenty of Iranian English language publications and media. None seem to have reported on this. What is needed is an official Iranian agency or political figure making such a claim that they intend to land a man on the moon, as opposed to a third party quoted opinion in an article in the American media, that cites no source for the claim. The Iranians have a space program. They have a satellite launch capability. They have openly stated that they wish to orbit an astronaut at some point in the 2020's. I am not aware of any claim that they wish to land a man on the moon, let alone a robotic probe some type. I would argue that some media claims may hold a bias, in one way or another. The anonymous IP that reverted my edit(s) and called me "racist" seems rather aggressive in prompting his point of view. I am of that ethnic "background" myself, and want the Iranian Space Program reported on as accurately as possible. That is the reasoning behind my removals. The Scythian 20:43, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: OK fine. I was pretty sure that if the ISA had made this claim it would appear somewhere more official than a couple of old newspaper articles.Fainites barleyscribs 10:29, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey, if they said it, I am all for inclusion. So far, it has only been superficial western sources that appear to be repeating the exact same line. I am also getting a little annoyed at repeatedly being called a "vandal" and "racist" by this user, "Irooniqermex," who I suspect is the same as the anonymous IP address who posted on my talk page, as well as did the previous reverts. His tone and attitude is combative. Given that his account is so new, and his attitude so aggressive, I would not be surprised if he is a banned editor. Not that it really matters, but I'd rather discuss this without all the accusations flying around. The Scythian 19:33, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

text:  I also consider the edits as vandalism since cited material has been deleted without due process. There are sources out there and just because the vandal does not see it, does not mean non-existence. Even the official Iranian news agency has released a statement by ISA director referring to the program (http://irna.ir/NewsShow.aspx?NID=30273333). There are other sources as well pretty much solid. These western sources could not have made this up by themselves. Whether Iran will go ahead and do it or not is entirely a different thing. The important thing with reference to these articles is the fact that they have announced the existence of such a program officially which is enough a warrant to mention here. Many countries have announced such programs and not all will end up completing them. That will only be decided in future and wikipedia is about today and is not a crystal ball neither its editors should act like one. SO STOP DELETING MATERIAL. Other sources:

--Irooniqermez (talk) 17:43, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

text: My source is from IRNA and not ISNA. It directly quotes ISA director. So get over your ego. So stop twisting the facts here. You need it to be translated so get it translated for yourself. Your behavior is unacceptable. Your threats are unhelpful to say the least. It is you who has started this edit war unnecessarily. I have put multiple sources which agree with original edit. You have failed to put even a single source to back up your claim that there is no such program. Do not call me uncivil or I will report you to an admin.--Irooniqermez (talk) 20:51, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You attitude is extremely uncivil and aggressive. I asked to simply tone it down, and now you are making more threats. I would like to see a translation, and also suspect your are a formally banned editor, addition to the anonymous IP address that reverted my previous edits. You are trying to bully your way through this discussion with threats, and game the system by using multiple accounts.  The Scythian 21:01, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It is you who is uncivil here. You threatened me. Go above and read what you have written. Furthermore now you are accusing me of being banned. Your behavior is getting shameful. It is enough. Either go away and cool down or I will report your unconstructive behavior. Wikipedia is based on sources. I have provided them. You have none. You are in no position to demand anything from me. It is you who is being a bully. Either bring up a source or go away swallowing your pride. You lied up there on multiple occasions. You tried to "form" public opinion by falsifying my source name. And now you are here without an apology. Stop it here. This is my last warning. Or else I will report you. --Irooniqermez (talk) 21:22, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I will not go away. You have no right to tell me to. I have every right to engage in discussion of this article, and every right to constructively edit it. I will not be "bullied" by you. I also welcome your hollow threat of "reporting" me. You need to learn to and abide by the rules of Wikipedia. The Scythian 21:27, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok. Lets see and start over. You deleted CITED MATERIAL without engaging in any discussion. Then you started threatening others when it was restored simply because the material was not suitable to your palate. Then you demand of me to back down and accuse me wrongly. Your emotive behavior to play a victim here is nonsensical. It is you who is bullying here. Provide a source for you claims. I have put mine. You have put none. You are on the side of err here persistently. And it is you who needs to abide by rules here. Even if you think despite all these sources from networks such as CBS and IRNA any need for more, you should have tagged for more sources. Deleting cited material is vandalism. End of the line.--Irooniqermez (talk) 21:45, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You are the anonymous IP address that made accusations on my talk page. It is obvious. Your aggressive style is also a trademark of editors that regularly are banned, and then aggressively return. I removed the material instead of adding a tag, simply because there appeared to be so little discussion on this article's talk page. I haven't made any claims. My argument is that western sources are making a very passing claim that Iran has some declared intent to land a man on the moon. I also would wish for a translation the IRNA article, if it is available, as that would be useful to this article. If I recall correctly, the IRNA releases a good deal of English language material? I believe an Iranian source to be essential to back up this claim. You have been accusing me of racism, lying, vandalism, and threatening to ban me, used hidden text within an article, and ordered me not to even engage in discussion of a topic, instead of simply trying to discuss the matter in a civil manor. You also seem to be eager to engage in an edit war, which I have refrained from playing along with. I am currently awaiting an administrators opinion guidance on this matter, as I really do not like being threatened. I also await your "report" that will get me "banned" for simply expressing an opinion on a talk page. The Scythian 22:03, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Let others now decide on this matter. You are still accusing me and trying to play a victim. About the IP dont know. I have already enlisted help and just put a notification on your talk page. Your assertion that there is not enough discussion so you can go and delete cited material on low traffic articles is grossly against the rules of wikipedia. You demanded for an Iranian source as opposed to a western one ( which I have already put one) is laughable too since I regard western sources as more reliable. It is you who is engaged in an edit war. I never said I want to ban, it is you who is trying to throw mud at me. Go and read what you have written. Your behavior is completely unacceptable. I am trying to keep cool here and not match your childish accusative behavior. --Irooniqermez (talk) 22:16, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Man on moon

message: Someone has requested for clarification on the $3.9 billion annual budget. The reference is valid but quotes the minister of communications and IT of the budget that ministry has allocated for the organization. I suspect that the amount has been a one time allocation to buy satellites etc and has not been sustained for next years. In addition, launch vehicles etc. are being done by defense ministry and they are possibly not included in this budget.Sarmadys (talk) 06:19, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Budget 

message: I removed  as the info is confusing, or just plain wrong. It talked about Shahab SLV twice in a confusing way. It mentioned Shahab SLV being used to launch Omid yet I can find any evidence Shahab SLV ever existed. Shahab appears to be the name of the Iranian ballastic missiles, and while their satellite launch vehicles (SLVs) may be based on Shahab, it seems they are given different names like Safir. Also Omid wasn't launched until 2009 yet the sentence may lead one to believe it was in 2004. And from what I can tell only one Omid was ever launched. Iran has launched additional satellites but from what I can tell, none of them are called Omid. And the existance of Shahab 4-6 is apparently disputed, so whether Iran refined Shahab or simply moved on to SLVs based on but not called Shahab appears to be disputed. (In itself the info gained from the development of the SLV is likely useful if Iran does ever want to further improve their ballastic missiles.) Nil Einne (talk) 06:55, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
