message: Could somebody please explain to me how this is encyclopediac?--Sefringle 04:39, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a standard sort of tag used in writing to indicate that the quote is literally transcribed without corrective edits. It is no more or less encyclopedic than the word "ibid" or the character "#". ==Blue Tie 11:32, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Blue is correct. The poster in the picture has the name of the country improperly spelled as "Isreal" instead of "Israel." To ensure the reader knows that the caption is not a typo, but a faithful representation of the photograph, the [sic] is appropriate. -- Avi 13:49, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Because it was a scam perpetrated by IranFocus and predictibly relayed by a Western media eager to demonize Iran. Sadly, some people didn't even bother to to cross check the legitimacy of the claim. Note that the MKO is very likely behind Iran Focus. Lixy 20:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is mentioned under "Early political career" and here. The accusation is notable, but we can't present it as fact. <<-armon->> 00:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that what is presented is balanced and verifiable. It does not say he was involved for sure, but it indicates that there are fair reasons to suspect it -- and that some do suspect it. --Blue Tie 02:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Why/How is this related to Ahmadinejad? His name isn't even mentioned in the section, so far as I can tell.  If it is relevant, it needs to be rewritten to explain why. Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead)  06:35, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It isn't.  Someone just added that as part of a POV smear campaign during some opposition hype about the supposed threat to the ruins nearby.  I had mentioned that none of it was actually relevant to Ahmadinejad but for some reason I never got around to removing it.  I will now.  Thanks for pointing that out.
