message: Added a small paragraph about the references made to Rostam in PoP: Sands of Time, a popular PC game.  Noticed these while playing the game, did a little research... yeah.—Preceding unsigned comment added by The Blue Meanie (talk • contribs) 05:32, 25 March 2007
: I removed this section because this information isn't very relevant to the subject at hand. These mentions aren't even notable enough to mention in of SoT's own wiki article. The content of this article should be limited to information to enhances the readers direct knowledge and understanding of this mythical hero. This was just fancruft. --75.2.85.12 03:47, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Is Rostam used as a contemporary name? If so, how widespread is its use? To give some background, I know of an identical name used by the Javanese. It could be just a sound-alike, but there's a possibility that they're related. — Gareth Hughes 17:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Rustom is frequently used among Zoroastrians. Just because it is not used as much in Iran, does not mean it is not used at all. It is commonly used among the Parsis. Warrior4321Contact Me 23:32, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rostam as a contemporary name 

message: In the intro it says
:In some ways, the position of Rostam in the historical tradition is parallel to that of Surena, the hero of the Carrhae. His figure was endowed with many features of the historical personality of Rostam. The latter was always represented as the mightiest of Iranian paladins, and the atmosphere of the episodes in which he features is strongly reminiscent of the Arsacid period.
Does "His figure" refer to Rostam or Surena? Was there a "historical personality of Rostam", i.e. a real person of that name? If so, what do we know about him, and why does the rest of the article not talk about him? "The latter" seems to refer to this historical personality, and what are the "episodes in which he features"? AxelBoldt (talk) 00:10, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unclear first paragraph 

message: Why do you keep writing the adjective "Persian" regarding heroes and stories of Shahnamah? Ferdowsi treats "Persian" as only a language, and uses Irani, Zabuli (Specifically for Rustam) etc. Sources of stories in Shahnamah are basically old Iranian stories and cannot be thought of as Persian folk tales. Avoid using wiki pages as ground for promoting ethnic ideals, this is a disgusting behavior.حضرت محمود (talk) 19:38, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Persian in Shahnameh 

message: Someone that want to add a bit about the kurdish version of Restem Zal? Cause according to the Shah-Name, he was persian. But the epic stories of Restem Zal has existed long before the Shah-Name was written, Kurds claim Restem to be Kurdish while Afghans claim him to be Afghan. I surely don't think that the Restem-person/character was alive during the Arabic invasion of Persia, he is probably much older than that. I think it would go as far as during the Median Empire, probably a warrior of them, or a time were the Aryan people lived very close to eachother, they were maybe even one single people that splitted into Kurds, Afghans and Persians. If he was alive during this Aryan people era, then it explains why all of the different people claim Restem Zal to be of their origin.

message: I think it would be more accurate to clarify that Zabulistan was a territory including Ghazni and Zabul, not just Zabul. Sometimes Zabul was even considered synonymous with Ghazni. 2A02:8428:809E:6701:E4ED:5B5E:1EEB:E8EB (talk) 05:19, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
