Talk:Zand dynasty

message: User:Wayiran tries to include a dubious unsourced low-quality map (which is not even known what it is about). To include a map sveral criteria should be met: 1- The map should have an acceptable quality 2- The map should have a reliable source or it should be based on information from reliable sources 3- If the map is not made by Wikipedians, we should make sure that it's not copyvio. In this case, none of these criteria are met. Wayiran has brought this dubious low-quality map from a no-name website. Alefbe (talk) 06:32, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unexplained unsourced changes/additions to Zand dynasty 

message: This article uses authors as a reference who are known to be Kurdish revisionists, such as Mehrdad Izady. Most notably, the article also relies on Minorsky, in the typical manner of a pro-Kurdish revisionist text, while completely ignoring the most widely recognised and prestigious peer reviewed source: Encyclopaedia Iranica. The Zand dynasty was of Lurish origin - the Lak section of the Lurish tribes (http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/zand-dynasty). In Iran - the country whence they hailed from and which they actually ruled, this is common knowledge. There is not a single document which would lead us to believe that the Zand DYNASTY, i.e. Karim Khan and his successor, saw themselves as a Kurdish dynasty ruling over Persia. In short: the reference to Kurds is both factually wrong and makes no sense here. Kurdish nationalism is a recent phenomenon and is seriously damaging Wikipedia, because Wikipedia contradicts the most reliable scholarly sources whenever Kurds are involved, which is a pity.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.157.216.80 (talk) 05:19, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

message: Why is this theorycrafting relevant to the lede of this article? - LouisAragon (talk) 16:56, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure why it wouldn't be, since the ethnic origin of the dynasty's tribe is still uncertain. If it's enough of a concern then it can be replaced by a mention of Karim Khan's tribe (Zand tribe). I added that simply to end the repeated edit-warring between Kurdish and Lurish origin in the lede. --Qahramani44 (talk) 18:33, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Qajar dynasty and Qajar Iran 

message: In the text, it says: "The dynasty was founded by Karim Khan Zand, chief of the Zand tribe, which is a tribe of Laks, a branch of Lurs who may have been originally Kurdish." Whilst just clicking on the Lak main page, it tells us that Laks certainly are Kurds and speak a branch of the Kurdish language? Laks might be culturally similar to Lurs by living amongst them, but does that tell us that they are a branch of the Lurs?  Krqftan (talk) 03:55, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
