Talk:Qasem Soleimani

Mention of protest against his assassination and UN view on top of page.

Reports of celebration of his assassination are little to be found. Whereas, protests against his assassination were widely documented and verified. Also isn't the top of wiki's page a summary of the entire page?. There is nothing about celebration on wikipedia's content. Izan Mehdi. (talk) 14:48, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, but the fact that you already have a history of pro-IRI editing (eg [1] [2] [3]) makes it hard to believe in you. The fact that one single search already shows some results [4] makes your claim even less believable. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:56, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Sir, well on the Zahedan massacre, yeah I did something silly by using google translate to translate the sources and could not find that forces shot worshippers inside the mosque. But, the other two edits are about presenting both sides views. I'am not fan of this brutal regime but, having lived in Iran, I think there should be more balanced view of the country.

As for Soleimani killing, I ask again, isn't the top of wiki's page a summary of the entire page?. There is nothing about celebration on wikipedia's content. Yet there is about the protests and Un view on it and those are not editied by me. Izan Mehdi. (talk) 15:08, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

A government does not equal the country - the people do. The country is nothing without the people - the same people who are getting killed right now for protesting for basic human rights. If you want to present both sides, please do better. I'm not gonna intervene further here for now, please think of what I have said. Bests. --HistoryofIran (talk) 18:12, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Nickname

He also called Kotlet by many Iranians. Kotlet is an Iranian food. In idiom, Kotlet is who damaged badly. 5.209.152.127 (talk) 19:30, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

This is mentioned in this article https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-781773

"Iranians’ social media posts created a new hashtag, #Kotlet, referring to Soleimani’s death essentially as a well-known Persian fried meat patty. Iranians intentionally started cooking kotlet and shared these pictures on social media to show how much they liked kotlet, a double entendre for how happy they were that Qasem Soleimani had become like a kotlet, his body unrecognizable like a fried ground beef patty. Today, when people post videos of themselves serving kotlet as an anti-regime message, they risk being arrested." CurlyMoeLarry (talk) 22:45, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Grammar

Can this be cleaned up, please?

Under the Assassination tag:

    “A narrative mentions about the American drones which took-off from Kuwait land, and entered Iraq and did the mentioned operation, on the other hand, the headquarters of the Kuwaiti Armed Forces denied the news after a few hours. The second news says that an American UAV rises from the Al-Adeed base in Qatar and do the mentioned assassination-operation.” 2601:603:4E01:1420:868:E969:EE3B:A053 (talk) 15:49, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Iranian propoganda section

The 'Iranian propoganda section' is very weak. It is full of bague statements with very little specifics and unattributed opinions such as the passive 'Is believed to be'. It also has one of the signs are WP:OR, that is, a long list of weak sources for each statement. If the statement is supported, it only needs one good source, rather than the weak sources such as Vice and CNN. Ashmoo (talk) 14:45, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
