message: The article says: The name of 'Mahabad' (mah+abad) is the Persian translation of the ancient Mannaean name meaning place of moon, which is also a cognate with the Kurdish word mang. I dont know to what degree this is true, as the poorly known Mannaeans themselves were absorbed by Medes; but I'm sure that the Persian word 'mah' as in 'Mah'abad means Medes or Media (Thus Mahabad meaning Cultivated by Medes or Land of Medes). Kurdish translation of this 'Mah' is Mang which also can be seen in the name of Kurds for themselves KurdManj (or KurManj). Asoyrun 17:54, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi. Since Piranshahr is at 80 from Mahabad and the title "Piranshahr 6 Mahabad" makes no sense in my way, I tried to undo the changes which Neekan (talk) made on this page. However, I got the message "The edit appears to have already been undone." and my reverting of the changes was not visible on the preview page and had no effect. Can someone help me undo the changes or undo them? Thanks.

message: Your edits show that you are trying to eliminate the kurdish identity of mahabad in this article , which is an obvious matter and accepted fact. Explain your reasons and why you are concentrating your energy about this particular city? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reverter33 (talk • contribs) 
Instead of accusing me of such things with no basis, you should explain why you are supporting the severing of the Iranian identity of Kurdish people. Kurds are Iranians, you cannot say "The people are Kurdish", there are other Iranians living there too. Such as Persians, Azeris etc. "Most People follow Sunni branch of Islam.", who said this, where is it from? "Modern Kurdish State in Mahabad", the Republic of Mahabad wasn't a Kurdish state, it was a Soviet puppet state, it didn't mention in it's constitution that it was a "Kurdish state". "In 2017 thousands of Iranian police forces arrived in the city after Kurds in the region celebrated the Kurdistan Referendum.", this is fake news, provide evidence for this. "...ethnic Kurds rioted following the unexplained death on 4 May 2015 of Farinaz Khosravani, a Kurdish hotel chambermaid. Khosravani fell to her death from a fourth-floor window of the Tara, the hotel where she worked. Anger mounted following reports that Khosravani died attempting to escape an Iranian official who was threatening to rape her." Why is there the need to put "Kurd" in every sentence? The lady was supposedly had threats of rape made against her, that's it. The people naturally erupted, this happens everywhere in Iran. Everything I delted was unsourced and written with bias and politically motivated. Iran isn't Turkey or Iraq, our Kurds are Iranians, Iran is their nation, their race, culture and history is Iranian. Stop trying to sever this tie and separate us.Migboy123 (talk) 12:37, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

=== here is another part of the text which you can add ===
==== Culture ====
The prolific translator into Persian, Mohammad Qazi came from Mahabad. He translated more than 70 important literary works into Persian.
Some poets and writers have hailed from this city in the 19th and 20th century. Wafaei(1844-1902), Hejar (Abdurrahman Sharfkandi)(1920-1990), Hêmin(Sayyed Moháammad Amini Shaykho-al-Eslam Mokri)(1920-1986), Abdorrahamn Zabihi (1920-1980) and Giw Mukriyani, all from Mahabad, are considered as the main writers and poets. The first Kurdish-Kurdish-Persian Dictionary in Iran was written by Hejar. Kurdistan's national poet was the title given to Hejar(along with Hêmin) during the short lived reign of the Republic of Mahabad in recognition of his poetry's service to the cause.
After the fall of the Pahlavi monarchy in Iran in 1979, "Hêmin" set up the Salaha-al-Din Ayyubi Kurdish publishing house in Urmia, which publishes Sirwe (from spring 1985), a quarterly cultural magazine that Hêmin ran until his death in 1986 .
The dialect of Mahabad, is adopted as the literary standard of Kurdish language in western Iran.(which is very close to the standard "sorani" used in Iraqi Kurdistan) Hedayts (talk) 00:50, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
