Talk:Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar

message: The description of his death is strange and it seems fictitious.
Using a reliable source, someone needs to research his death.
:I agree. The “death by watermelon” story obviously is an apocryphal tale. It definitely has holes. If the servant could poison the watermelon, then he could easily taste it by the same method. I mean if the poison was injected into the watermelon with something like an injection syringe, then the servant could easily have drawn some juice from the watermelon with the same injection and tasted it. And if the watermelon was brought to the king after being cut open, then there was no problem in tasting it. So the story does not gel well.

message: Why is there a Persian connection here? Were Qajar tribe and Agha Mohamad Persians? It sounds like Agha Mohamad took over the country back from Persians (i.e Karim Khans successors)? 
This is one last time that Turks took over IRAN (not Persia) until Reza Pahlavi was put in power by the British.
Is there any written notes, speeches left from Agha Mohamad Khan (The last Great King of Iran) to anyone who views this page?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.161.3.194 (talk) 04:43, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

message: If Agha Muhammad launched a rebellion in 1794 and proclaimed himself Shah two years later (~1796), then how is it he "was assassinated in 1797...after about 16 years in power." (emphasis added)
Could the 16 refer to the number of months he reigned?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.104.195.100 (talk) 23:01, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

message: The article states:
In 1778, Agha Mohammad Khan moved his capital from Sari in his home province of Mazandaran to Tehran. He was the first Iranian ruler to make Tehran—the successor to the great city of Ray—his capital, although both the Safavids and the Zands had expanded the town and built palaces there. One of the main reasons noted for moving the capital farther north was ...
The reference to "farther north" is confusing.  Khan moved his capital from Sari to Tehran.  Sari is north of Tehran, therefore the Khan moved his capital south, not north.

message: He also raped 50 Punjabi Muslim girls on his expedition to Punjab, a part of former Mughal Empire; but he failed to conquer the Punjab. So he destroyed the cities of Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar and Muzaffargarh. And he forced the regional Maulavis to supply him 50 Regional Muslim Teen Girls as a part of Ransom for leaving their region. 2405:205:C929:D527:B26A:A137:9FC8:2E0C (talk) 11:29, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

message: User:HistoryofIran, Kurdish chieftains didn't control Kalat and Darra Gaz. Darra Gaz was controlled by Chapshlu Turkic khans, while Jalayer tribesmen controlled Kalat. Read Christine Noelle's book "The Pearl in its Midst: Herat and the Mapping of Khurasan (15th-19th Centuries)" and  for more information. Also my map lists the sources involved in it's creation on Wikimedia Commons (although i made that map before I read Christine Noelle-Karimi's book, so it needs to be updated as it excludes a few minor ones like Darra Gaz). Although they may have been considered De jure Afsharid, they effectively acted entirely independently from the weak government in Mashhad and frequently fought with Nasrullah Mirza Afshar and Nader Mirza Afshar. The map shows de facto control and not de jure control. Kailanmapper (talk) 19:06, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Your map uses the Russian Wikipedia and John Malcolm, who lived in the 18th-century. Sorry but that's already pretty big red flags. Whether they were autonomous or not, if they were de jure Afsharid that should be somehow shown, as in every other map. The quality of the map isn't the best either, which makes even a guy who has seen such maps of eastern Iran loads of times hard to comprehend what is going on. For map-making, I would highly advise Inkscape. --HistoryofIran (talk) 19:12, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

text: "It doesn't seem that bad honestly compared to the loads of garbage wikipedia maps out there" doesn't sound very promising. A more zoomed map generally looks worse with the same details as a more outzoomed map, amongst other things because there is more place for zoomed map to make the area more detailed. Cities and rivers would be a good start. Perhaps create a box where you can amongst other things add the name of the entities instead on the map itself? That would make lots of space for other details (cities) - Something akin to this     Not sure how to explain this bit, but some of the colors kinda look off. All this is much easier to do in Inkscape. --HistoryofIran (talk) 20:21, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

text: You don't need detailed information to add the rivers, you can find them about everywhere. Amu Darya and Helmand would be a good start. --HistoryofIran (talk) 20:31, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

text: I forgot; regarding Malcolm, just because he is often cited in secondary sources, doesn't mean that it's a good idea to use him. Lots of primary sources are cited; that is, well, how we have our secondary sources. But primary sources also often suffer from biases and errors, which secondary sources will for the most part correct. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:21, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
