Untitled[edit]

Iranian websites are legally not protected under International copyright laws because Iran is not a member of WTO, nor a signatory to the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works. (see list here), and Iran does not correspondingly adhere to International Copyright laws itself. Accordingly, Iran officially copies and distributes pirated copies of Microsoft Products, Hollywood Movies, and various Published material. Wikipedia is not legally responsible for anything even if something was copied from a government website from Iran.--Zereshk 20:19, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please restore the original web page. There is no basis for deleting it because of an unwarranted copyright allegation.--Zereshk 00:06, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Roman Ghirshman[edit]

I recently speculated that a recently entry noting that "Professor Robert Gishman" had missed stuff could be a contravention of WP:BLP, and reverted. I now see that Roman Ghirshman, who is dead, was meant. As uncited WP:NOR the reversion remains valid. --Old Moonraker (talk) 10:20, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology[edit]

@Ted hamiltun: Hello, The Elamite language is a linguistic isolate.^[1]^[2]^[3] so there is no specifically relation between Elamite Language and Arabic Language. please Undo my edits or I will reporting your action.

@Gholaghabijan: he used a travel and personal book named "Right to Passage: Travels Through India, Pakistan and Iran By Zeeshan Khan" as the source. if he restores it again, than report him to admins immediately.188.158.112.88 (talk) 03:45, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Garbled bits[edit]

Some of this article is garbled. (1) "In the outer area are royal palaces, a funerary palace containing five subterranean royal tombs." This is an incomplete sentence. Is the funerary palace one of the royal palaces, or is it different from them? (2) In what language is the name "Chogha Zanbil"? The article is unclear but seems to suggest it is Persian, presumably modern Persian. In what language is the name "Dur Untash"? The article says the "original name" was Dur Untash and that is Assyrian. Since Elamite is not Assyrian, this makes no sense. (3) The statements that Elamite is a language isolate and the translation of "Chogha Zanbil" (from what language?) do not belong in the paragraph of history. I suggest a paragraph devoted to accurately and precisely giving the missing linguistic information, including the original name in Elamite, if possible, rather than Assyrian.
