Talk:Rafsanjan

message: Hello Wikipedia! 
When I first arrived on this page there was... practically nothing. This is my hometown in Iran and it makes me sad that there was only a single mention about the pistachio industry, the arid landscapes and deserts, and a half-baked history section with absolutely 0 references. 
When the Farsi version of this page writes without any references or footnotes it's - in my opinion - considered cool. Go you for rebelling and not caring about Wikipedia guidelines. On the English page however... why would you add so much information without giving people any means of referencing it? Wikipedia doesn't do much, but at least it gives you a headway to find usable sources on a topic of interest. The way some of the sections look now, it seems like no effort was put into it. Jeez, even the Wikipedia page on Grand Rapids, a small town in Michigan with about the same population as Rafsanjan, has more pages than I would ever (want to) read. 
Let's face it, Iran's on the international black-list. The least we could do is to provide the English-speaking public more critical information about our historical past, rather than providing a Wikipedia that doesn't fall too short of something you'd find on a tourist board. 
Looking forward to seeing new edits. :)

Talk:Sardasht, West Azerbaijan

message: Is it true that "Sardasht is the first town in the world to be gassed"? Chemical weapons were recommended by Churchill in 1919 and then used later on against the Kurds by the British air force, but maybe they were only used in the countryside and not on towns before Sardasht - i guess that's what the contributor was suggesting. In any case, i put a citation needed tag. Someone should check this... Boud 21:52, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

MediaWiki talk:Welcomecreation

message: In one of the views on the rfc for users to have the autoconfirmed persmission to create new articles it was said that deterring new users from creating articles that could potentially get deleted, it'd be better to include information on how they can create and develop their article in a sandbox and point them to WP:YFA. I certainly think that'd be a great idea and in doing so the NPP-ers would have a lighter workload, considering a majority of NPs are CSD'd because the user has not familarised themselves with editing, let alone article writing.

The current statistics of the settlement of Tsalka do not change the historically Greek and Armenian ethnic makeup, however. For instance, historically Azerbaijani settlements in Armenia still feature their respective names in the article because those are notable former names (even though their original population is presently gone; same vice versa). The reason as to why Tsalka now features these names is because they are notable historical designations, while the district should feature these names is because they are notable current designations.

message: There is a line in the article that says,' According to some, confirmation that Troy's sacking was influenced by sponsorship pressure rather than any performance based reasons was seen in the appointment of Carlos Checa as Troy's replacement' the part, 'according to some' was not part of the article until recently and i can assure whomever wrote that that it is not just 'some' people who may think that is the reason troy was replaced, but troy said that himself. I was there at Phillip Island in 2004 to hear Troy tell a gathering of Flaggies after the race that he figured he would probably be replaced by someone who has had an association with Marlboro in the past, and sure enough, Carlos Checa was just the man, having ridden for Marlboro Yamaha in previous seasons. There is no favour being paid to Troy to make him appear a martyr, but that is the real reason he was replaced.
Also, how could you sum up a guys season by saying that Ducati's axeing of Troy looked more logical when he missed the last 6 races because of injury, that is just plain kicking a guy when he's down? It might be worth mentioning that Troy was only 5 points behind Carlos Checa in the Championship ladder after the Czech round, it wasnt as though Carlos was setting the world on fire riding that ducati.
:Troy was on a Honda though - three of those beat the highest-placed Ducati in the championship. If you can source Troy's comments, please do - otherwise they are pure speculation. At least there is now a second part of that paragraph providing another logical view.--MartinUK 12:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Since there was no other mention of any "controversy" and no reference, I found it prudent to remove the allegation. I did a GNews search for articles from 2006 with the string "laughlin kaist" and found several entries seeming to support a controversy. Sadly, many were behind paywalls and the rest were in Korean. So while there may have been a legitimate controversy surrounding Laughlin's tenure at KAIST, I cannot currently find sources to corroborate. JFlav (talk) 18:11, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
