Iranian Wikipedians desperately need YOUR help. If you are intelligent enough to use these forums, you can help!
Why do we need help?
Separatist Arabs and Kurds, plus a few politically-motivated Arab and
Israeli nationals, have been repeatedly and systematically vandalizing
the Iran-related articles on
Wikipedia,
the largest open-source encyclopedia on the net, propagating false
information, maliciously editing/disputing/deleting such articles
without one shred of proof to backup their wild claims, applying the
straw-man falsification approach, trying to establish new 'facts" to
further their racial/religious/political agendas.
In order to prevent this situation, we need to have a large Iranian
presence on Wikipedia and guard the integrity and quality of all the
Wikipedia articles that are related to Iran and Iranians. Articles such
as
Iranian peoples and
Persian people
are being rewritten, edited and interpolated (vandalized) by
politically motivated individuals whose motto is ""The modern Farsis
are a semitic-Turkic people. We should prove this to the world".
Interested to help?
It is really an easy job. You can donate as much as a minute a day, a
week, or a month. It doesn't matter as long as you show some support.
Follow the following directions:
1- First: Sign up to Wikipedia
here.
2- Second: Learn how to contribute to Wikipedia - it is very easy, all
you do is press Edit on a page, and get your voice heard. But make sure
you don't break the rules. The best way to get started is by reading
the introduction.
3- Third: Help out! Get in contact with other active Iranian Wikipedians and add your user-name to
WikiProject Iran under "Participants", and you will be informed about topics that need attention.
4. Make sure to read and comment on the discussion (Talk) page of such articles (such as
ersian_people" target="_blank">Talkersian_people) and support your informed opinion with evidence.
Basically, we need books, websites, encyclopedia, etc sources to
support our arguments, we have hundreds of sources already, however the
more people means easier victories.
Please help spread the word. Email or post this "plea for help" to
other friends Iranian or non-Iranian who have an informed interest in
Iran and Iranian people.
History should be based on facts. It is in interest of ALL Iranians to
represent the true and accurate history of Iran and Iranian people on
such widely used and viewed source as Wikipedia.
