Talk:Saffarid dynasty

message: Hi. I noticed the 2nd map on this article shows the Umayyad Caliphate lands, even though the Umayyads had fallen over 100 years before and thus weren't directly related to the Saffarids. I have a map of the Saffarid Dynasty lands in 900 AD (immediately before they were defeated by the Samanids). The map also depicts the neighbors of the Saffarids at that time, which is educational and very helpful for people reading the article. I will upload it soon and would like to replace the Umayyad map. Are there any objections? Thomas Lessman (talk) 20:12, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

message: (1) There is no Tajik nation. (2) The Saffarid dynasty was prior to the Mongol invasion which completely altered the locations and relationships of the various peoples in the area. (3) No citation is provided for a relationship between the Saffarid dynasty and the non-existent Tajik nation.  Obviously, I am not talking about Tajikistan which is perfectly real. --Bejnar (talk) 08:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

message: User:HistoryofIran I didn't see the other sources after, I checked them, they all say "Persian" specifically, how about changing it to "Sunni Persian" in the lead then?

thread_title:  Lead 

message: O.k i dont even know what to discuss in here. really? there is NO reliable source that confirms (as i stated before) they were persian by ethnicity. Infact ALL consider it either iranic or persianate. So if it is not a POV then what it is? I hope it is not a discussion for the sake of it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.211.44.102 (talk) 21:10, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, Persianate is a culture not an ethnicity. --Kansas Bear (talk) 21:54, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

text: The article is well sourced. If you think Persian is wrong, then you should provide enough reliable sources about the origin of Saffarids. And your #3 is a rant. If someone disrupts or vandalizes WP articles, I assure you there will b some very effective ways to deal with them. --Wario-Man (talk) 22:27, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
