Talk:Shapur I

message: The caption to image :Image:Valeriano.jpg says:
:Shapur I receives the homage of Valerian (Standing, his hand is hidden in his sleeve as the sign of submission) and Philip the Arab(on his kneels), the Roman Emperors he defeated and took prisoner.
When did Shapur capture Philip? What is the reference for the interpretation of this relief?--Ahrarara 01:53, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well my reference is also noted on the image's page. It's from the book : Persia An Archaeological Guide by : Sylvia A. Matheson. Persian Savant 23:07, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The article Valerian (emperor) states that Valerian was stuffed with straw after being skined, yet this artical says dung.  Which is it?

message: Along with other minor things, my edits of 28 March 2007, address/resolve the following copyvio issues:
#Most of the text in the "Co-rulership" and "Accession" sections was a direct copy from the Encyclopedia Iranica article on Shapur I.
#Many of the <ref>s were pointing to a ripped-off copy of the Iranica article rather than to the original. This sort of copyvio'ing is systematic for the site in question, which steals legitimate academic sources in order to present itself as a reliable source.
#Some of the text in the "War against the Roman Empire" was from "Valerian and Gallienus".

replies: text: Here we go again, FullStop can you please stop your POV pushing? Do not remove the entries that are supported by references. You are most welcome to add to the entries, but do not delete them since they are not to your personal taste. As I advised you before try to be constructive than destructive!. ← ← Parthian Shot (Talk)  11:53, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Vague accusations of 'POV pushing' and calling legitimate edits vandalism  are anything but constructive.  I suggest you stop edit warring here and at Iranian women and actually address issues appropriately.  Thanks.  The Behnam 14:22, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

text: It is indeed a tad hypocritical for users to "advise" other editors to be constructive while they themselves prefer to revert edit rather than actually *reading* the changes or (god forbid!) actually discussing what specifically they have a problem with. -- Fullstop 15:41, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

message: That wax figure of Shapur is downright lame. From the cheesy clothes, to the bad hair and the face caught in the headlights expression. It doesn't do him any justice. GET RID OF IT! The Angus McBride paintings are much more respectful and heroic.Rawoyster (talk) 07:11, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  That Wax Figure Is Really, Uh... 

message: Disclosure - this was brought to my attention on my talk page. I've reverted an edit based on  - as you can say, it states that "This is a short prose work, simple in style, probably written in Pars towards the end of the Sasanian period. It too was the work of priests, and a comparison of it with Firdausi's rendering shows how effectively Zoroastrian elements were obliterated in the Muslim redaction. The Kârnâmag contains some historical details; but its generally romantic character has been explained as due to contamination with legends of Cyrus the Great, still current then in Pars." Mary Boyce, 'Middle Persian Literature' (in Handbuch Der Orientalistik --I. Abt., IV. Band 2., p. 60.)". Dougweller (talk) 19:02, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Zosimus calls him Sapor in A New History. Isn't this name worth mentioning, just as the article on Shapur II offers alternate names? Mang (talk) 14:02, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  also known by the name Sapor 

message: Hi, I was wondering why the sources of encyclopedia Iranica are against each other? In two articles it says the mother of Shapur was Murrod:
Brosius, Maria (2000). "Women i. In Pre-Islamic Persia". Encyclopaedia Iranica, Vol. London et al.
Shahbazi, A. Shapur (2002). "Šāpur I". Encyclopaedia Iranica
While from one article it says it was Daneg:
Gignoux, Philippe (1994). "Dēnag". In Yarshater, Ehsan (ed.). Encyclopædia Iranica, Volume VII/3: Dehqān I–Deylam, John of. London and New York: Routledge & Kegan Paul. p. 282. 
So what should we write in the inbox? Xani LapZerin (talk) 23:33, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: That's because it's written by different authors. We need to see what other sources say (especially newer ones) to make a conclusion. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:56, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

text: Sounds like a fair suggestion, I agree, at least until we know more. --HistoryofIran (talk) 00:27, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
