Talk:Tabriz: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia

Reading over this page, I felt like having so much information bunched together in one section was overwhelming. There's also an opportunity for improvement since the period of time between Arab conquest and Revolution is so extensive.[[User:MarceloFelCav|MarceloFelCav]] ([[User talk:MarceloFelCav|talk]]) 20:24, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

== Neutral Opinion ==

Hello! I noticed that this article had been listed as requesting a neutral third opinion at [[WP:3O]]. I can see that all editors are very interested in contributing postively to this encyclopedia. I will continue to review this matter with the goal of offering an opinion in the next couple of days. It would help if the involved editors could make a brief (less than a paragraph) summary of what version they believe to be correct, and why (with sources) they believe it to be so. Thanks! —[[User:Matheuler|<~~font~~span ~~color~~style=" color:#871F78;">Matheuler</~~font~~span>]] 17:48, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

:Hi! Thank you for your contribution.[[East Azarbaijan]] is an Iranian province.Due to the fact that the country north of this province is spelled as [[Azerbaijan]] in English usage , our debate is to use the local Iranian name of '''''East Azarbaijan''''' or it's alternative '''''East Azerbaijan''''' in this article(and perhaps in all of the templates and pages that use this name ).Google tests for finding dominant English name are given in the above section.--[[User:Alborz Fallah|Alborz Fallah]] ([[User talk:Alborz Fallah|talk]]) 18:06, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

:: The discussion is about English name of a province in Iran; which I believe East Az'''e'''rbaijan is the correct word. The point about the other word (which I think it is used incorrectly, the East Az'''a'''rbaijan) is that first term of the word, East, translated from Farsi to English. But the second term, Azerbaijan, is transferred from Farsi to English (Azarbaijan). I believe that we have to use Azerbaijan word which is widely used in English for calling the region. So I suggest using '''East Azerbaijan''' word for the province name.--[[User:Microinjection|Microinjection]] ([[User talk:Microinjection|talk]]) 19:23, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Those responses are very clear. I can certainly see that both sides have a valid viewpoint. I would like input regarding the following: (1) What is the generally accepted practice in independent secondary sources (e.g. english language newspapers and academic journals) (2) What is the practice followed on other (perhaps more visible) Wikipedia articles (I will check some, but you likely have more experience in this area). —[[User:Matheuler|<~~font~~span ~~color~~style=" color:#871F78;">Matheuler</~~font~~span>]] 00:18, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

::Actually there isn't any official translation or an English newspaper in this matter (at least I haven't seen yet). But inside dictionary or maps normally Azerbaijan is used to calling this region (I mean for both of Republic of Azerbaijan + Iranian Azerbaijan provinces). However inside net various verbs is used for the proviences (East '''Azerbaijan''': http://iguide.travel/East_Azerbaijan_%28Iran%29 Western '''Azarbayejan''': http://www.salinesystems.org/content/2/1/9 East '''Azarbayjan''': http://www.iranchamber.com/provinces/08_east_azarbaijan/08_east_azarbaijan.php or '''Azarbayjan-e-Sharqi''' in google map and so on).--[[User:Microinjection|Microinjection]] ([[User talk:Microinjection|talk]]) 04:21, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Line 128 ⟶ 129:

::::''Azerbaijan'' is a common word which is used widely to calling the region in English (most of dictionaries and encyclopedias have used the word). The Azerbaijani word for the province is Sharqi-Azerbaijan; the Farsi name is Azerbaijan-e-Sharghi; Currently East Azarbaijan is used in the article. I'm offering change the name to East Azerbaijan since already the first term is translated from Farsi to English and it is used as an adjective so we have to use English word for the second term also (Azerbaijan).--[[User:Microinjection|Microinjection]] ([[User talk:Microinjection|talk]]) 13:50, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

:::::I don't understand how "Azarbaijan" vs. "Azerbaijan" is an issue of translation. They look to me as though they are both alternative transliterations of the same word. Unlike with Mandarin, there is no single agreed upon transliteration of Perso-Arabic script, so far as I'm aware. In [[Azerbaijan]], the Latin alphabet is used, and spells the name as such. I'm just wondering why we should ever use "Azarbaijan." [[User:John Kenney|john k]] ([[User talk:John Kenney|talk]]) 13:54, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you all again for these insightful comments. Following my review of the facts, I must conclude that the proper term for this article is '''Az''e''rbaijan'''. The term Azerbaijan is used in the Wikipedia articles on [[Iran]] and many associated Iranian articles. Even if the wordings were seen to be of equal merit (such as color and colour), for the sake of consistency we should go with the more used Azerbaijan. —[[User:Matheuler|<~~font~~span ~~color~~style=" color:#871F78;">Matheuler</~~font~~span>]] 02:58, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

:Pardon about my delay in responding .About the transliteration of Perso-Arabic to English , the word آذربایجان in Persian , has the [[Diacritic]] [[Arabic_diacritics#Fat.E1.B8.A5a|Fatḥa]], that makes it Azarbaijan in English transliteration .In Matheuler's search in Wikipedia , keep in mind that a '''''recent''''' movement in changing the pages that use the word Azarbaijan is in progress ( as an example , [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=East_Azerbaijan_Province&diff=312431015&oldid=310687268], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=West_Azerbaijan_Province&diff=313249005&oldid=309939323],[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Largest_cities_of_Iran&diff=prev&oldid=312080225] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Provinces_of_Iran_Labelled_Map&diff=prev&oldid=312080413]) that may have effect the whole outcome and your judgment (all from 5 to 11 September ). And to add , in using the name that is more similar to Azeri dialect , than to Persian ,in English ; there is concerns about neutrality (NPOV).By using a name that makes Republic of Azerbaijan same as province of Azarbaijan , there can be doubts about the legitimacy of artificial borders .Although the name Azerbaijan in historical sense was never been applied to the north region of Aras river until recently (1918).--[[User:Alborz Fallah|Alborz Fallah]] ([[User talk:Alborz Fallah|talk]]) 10:04, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

== Tags in "Firsts" in Iran ==

This article is currently on the Front Page as part of Today's Featured Picture, and as a general principle orange tags should be resolved before posting there. ''"Firsts" in Iran'' is tagged with orange tag {{t|more citations needed}} and the yellow tag {{t|tone}}. However, it seems that the orange tag has already been resolved; all points in the list are referenced. If there's no objection to removing the {{t|more citations needed}} tag, then I or someone else can go ahead and do it. The yellow tag may stay; some of the grammar is odd.[[Special:Contributions/130.233.213.141|130.233.213.141]] ([[User talk:130.233.213.141|talk]]) 08:42, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

== typo - needs correction ==

"the city was captured for Russia '''in 182''' by General Prince Eristov, who marched into the city with 3,000 soldiers"

This is obviously meant to say "in 182X". I tried to uncover "X" by reviewing the history of Tabriz article, but found nothing supporting in that page. I need to move on to something else, and wanted to flag the found issue. Cheers. [[User:Scootz555|Scootz555]] ([[User talk:Scootz555|talk]]) 14:11, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
