User talk:K1

Your article of Ferdowsi is a duplicate of my article Ferdosi. I am going to redirect it. However, I urge you to add any aditional info. Your contributions are well-apreciated Alireza Hashemi

You can find the material which was replaced with a redirect here (/w/wiki.phtml?title=Ferdowsi&oldid=732450), BTW, or by hunting through the "Older versions" of the Ferdowsi article. Note that since Ferdowsi is now a redirect, you'll have to follow the link back from Ferdosi once it sends you there to get to the real Ferdowsi page. Bryan

Hi there. If you want a link to your talk page on your user page, it's User talk:K1 (though there's one in the sidebar anyway. A link to [[here]] will only lead someone to create an article actually called "here". that's why I removed it -- Tarquin 20:49 Mar 8, 2003 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Talk page. You'll also get notified of new messages here at the top of any page you load. -- Tarquin

K1 I think you misunderstood, Grand Voivodd had also done the same to my user page, althoguh you were right he appears to have deleted it himself. Dont forget to check out http://fa.wikipedia.com, soon it will be redirected to .org I have not written any of the material there and feel free to edit it as you like. If you know of other Iranians who would be interested in developing Persian wikipedia I would like to be informed. There is also and arabic font which we can use (fa) with all the ga,che,pa and je letters of the Iranian alphabet. Regards, Alireza Hashemi

You actually have a point, I have removed her (Princess Leila) from the List of Iranians. I know very little about other Iranian inlisted in the page with empty articles. Instead of always engaeing in discussion why not contribute by writng a new article. --Yours Truly

Hi Alireza. I have contributed a little, and I hope to contribute more in the future. I just like to point out that engaging in discusssions is also a form of contributing to Wikipedia. In the discussion boards, we present our points of view and from there on, after some discussion, we alter, or improve or even remove articles; as opposed to an individual on his/her own just changing articles that others have already contributed.

Hey Keyvan: are you from Vancouver? Wanli

Hello Wanli. No, I am not from Vancouver. Keyvan is a fairly common name among Iranians, and I understand there are many Iranians living in Vancouver. I am not one of them however. :-)

You happen to be a Keyvan that uses the shorthand K1, like the 1-couver guy.

Happy New Year! Regards

Thanks for writing the Norouz article. What are the similarities and differences of the Kurdish and Iranian New Year (Norouz)? Alireza Hashemi

I don't really know how the Kurds celebrate the Norouz. One thing I do know is that their view of the Norouz has been much politicized in recent years mostly due to the oppression they suffer in Turkey. Their view of the Norouz is underscoring the "liberation" aspect of it via the story of Kave vs. Zahak. In their view, Kave or "Kawa" as the Kurds pronouce it, is a revolutionary Kurd who liberated his people from the tyrant Zahak; and this marks the start of the Norouz! I don't know if they have always held this view of the origin of the Norouz or if this is an outcome of their political struggle in Turkey in recent history. My impression is that they do not set 7-Seen tables or visit each other in the form of our "eyd didani", but quite possibly the Kurds of Iran do this. Also I think 13-bedar is only practiced in Iran and not the neighbouring cultures. But the Kurds have definitely been celebrating the Norouz for a long time. They pronouce it Newroj ("new" not pronounced like the English word "new", rather, phonetically enunciated; and "roj" with the "j" sounding like the French "j", like the 'j' sound of the Persian name "Bijan").    --Keyvan 08:37 Mar 26, 2003 (UTC)
