Talk:The Lurking Fear

message: It seems to me that the story has influenced a number of B-Horror movies, such as Wrong Turn, you know the whole inbred, freak plot.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.132.191.73 (talk) 09:37, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Influenced

message: I realize this isn't really related to anything, but anyone else find it interesting that the article mentions the phrase "creeping death" and a ghost that "rode the midnight lighting" (both phrases related to songs on Ride The Lightning)? Especially with the other Lovecraft references Metallica made (The name of The Call of Ktulu and the lyrics of The Thing That Should Not Be).
Neither phrase in the story deals with the subject matter of the respective songs, but it's still interesting, at least to me (inspiration for the title, maybe?). Salur 10:58, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Without an independent source saying that the songs were inspired by The Lurking Fear, I think drawing that conclusion ourselves would be original research. Nareek 12:14, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Rabia Balkhi

message: Hello, I'm working on a project regarding 'Attar's Ilahi-nama and was looking for more information on Zayn al-'Arab / Rabi'a Balkhi. I tried tracking down the third source listed here, the Indo-Iranica journal. I'm afraid I can't find the page referred to here. Also, Volume 2 has four issues, so we should probably specify which it is. There is an article on Rudaki in Vol. 2 No. 1 but she is not mentioned there, as far as I can tell. Any help with tracking down these sources would be greatly appreciated, and we should especially try to clarify them in the article for others who wish to read further.

message: I find it highly unlikely that anybody could write that many books in one year, no matter long each one is. Furthermore, as Cold Tom won book prizes in 2002, it couldn't have come out in 2004. I have taken the liberty to change the Cold Tom date to 2002, which is what it is on the Cold Tom page.

Talk:Farrukhi Sistani

message: Please take your concerns here instead of edit warring.
"Iran didn’t exist either back then" "The state of Iran the word Iran is referring to in the article was found in 1979" "If you say the state of Afghanistan has no relevance here the state of Iran has no relevance"
Here's some sources to refute these claims;
"Though the initial decades following the bloody irruption of Chinggis Khan and his sons on Iran" - Persian Notables and the Families
Who Underpinned the Ilkhanate, page 182
"So, this is the period in which Drangiana, the old Achaemenid and Arsacid province, slowly morphed to form the new entity of Sakistan, resulting from the Saka conquests of East Iran." - ReOrienting the Sasanians: East Iran in Late Antiquity, page 33
Do you see any mention of Afghanistan or Greater Iran? I have a whole library of sources like this - if you want, I can gladly post more. --HistoryofIran (talk) 18:09, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure of the relevance of those quotations. However, it would be interesting to know if Farrokhi came from the part of Sistan which is now Iran or the part which is Afghanistan. Does anybody know this? Kanjuzi (talk) 04:58, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: No idea, if I remember correctly, he simply refers to Sistan as his home in his poems. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:41, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

text: If he came from Zaranj, the old capital of Sistan, that's just across the border in Afghanistan. So it might be more accurate, instead of saying that Sistan is a region in "eastern Iran", to say that it is a region which crossed over the modern border between eastern Iran and what is now southern Afghanistan. To most readers "eastern Iran" would imply somewhere within the borders of present-day Iran, and so might be misleading. Kanjuzi (talk) 17:57, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I mean, historians do that as well. It is important to emphasize that he lived in a Iranian world, considering his poems and career. He himself uses the term "Iran" occasionally in his poems. Afghanistan really has no relevance. --HistoryofIran (talk) 18:49, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
