message: I think the academic career section is written as an advertisement. Espacially the plagiarism scandal is undermined  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Windcatchers (talk • contribs) 20:00, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. It seems an editor is trying to crowd out other less career-friendly information with filler on her seminars and journal articles. I have tried to trim it to a more appropriate length. Recent edits by an anon in Tehran (who could that be? :-)) have added to it. --BoogaLouie (talk) 22:58, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Along with that, the anon added more filler - a subsection called Women as Presidential Candidates "... news reports indicated that Dr. Ebtekar may stand for candidacy ..." in 2009. When you check the citation news report Ebtekar does not rule out presidential candidacy. tehran times, April 14, 2009
you find that all Ebtekar has said was she hasn't ruled out running for president. A google search finds zero buzz about her being a candidate.  --BoogaLouie (talk) 18:42, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: More mischief from anon

message: The following was deleted: Originally known as Niloufar Ebtekar, she changed her public name sometime after the hostage crisis to Massoumeh. 
and replaced with an earlier edit from an anonymous editor with the Tehran address: Like many Iranian girls, she has two names, she was named Massoumeh at birth, but known as Niloufar among friends and relatives
====Problem==== 
*Whether many Iranian girls or girls from any country have two names is not really the crucial information you want in the WP:lead. What is noteable is the fact that the name Ebtekar used publicly changed from one for which she was known all over the world at one time (as public spokesperson for the 1979-81 hostage takers), to another name, and further that she asked the reporter who uncovered this fact not to make it public. 
*Like many Iranian girls, she has two names, she was named Massoumeh at birth, but known as Niloufar among friends and relatives, is not really supported by the citation given </ref> which says only Niloofar Ebtekar, Mary's real name, had lived for three years in the Philadelphia .... nothing about two names, or being  named Massoumeh at birth. --BoogaLouie (talk) 16:18, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Why? Most of the sources I have seen, indicate that she's still called Noloufar, her official name has always been Masoumeh. So there was never a change of name, only one source makes such claim. --KneeJuan (talk) 16:32, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The point is she was known as Niloufar during the hostage crisis and called herself Massoumeh when she appeared in the international public eye again some years later during her political career as VP. There is one source that scooped it and talked about it (Elaine Sciolino), but the only quibbling is whether she changed her name or always legally had that name (Massoumeh) but didn't use it before.  We can change the wording to Originally known as Niloufar Ebtekar, she began using  Massoumeh as her first name sometime after the hostage crisis,  if you don't like the phrase "changed her public name." --BoogaLouie (talk) 17:50, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
