Clarify[edit]

Need to clarify. Does the next president serve until the end of Raisi's regular term or is it a new four-year term? I am quite suspicious over the insertion by the IP in the infobox. Borgenland (talk) 15:44, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Missing info[edit]

Mahan alihaji (talk · contribs), please provide the exact quote in [1] that supports your claims of Jalal Jalalizadeh being a candidate in this election. I have been reading the article three times and clicking ctrl+F in a futile exercise to corroborate this. Borgenland (talk) 16:52, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Women[edit]

what does it even mean https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024_Iranian_presidential_election&diff=prev&oldid=1226930033&title=2024_Iranian_presidential_election&diffonly=1 Baratiiman (talk) 17:20, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's already duplicated in the candidate box. Better for you to put a footnote stating that she's a woman. Borgenland (talk) 17:23, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Colors[edit]

The Front of Followers of the Line of the Imam and the Leader official color is black, however in the 2013 election inbox a more neutral color was selected for their candidate. Should Alireza Zakani's color be changed to a more neutral color like orange or some other color? Same question, should Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf's color be changed to another color such as yellow/gold as reflected in the 2013 election article to be more distinctive from Pourmohammadi's green color?

Below I'll list a proposal of candidate colors so that they're more distinctive and easier for readers to discern.

Proposed candidate colors
Hex code Percentage
#A91101      Jalili
#ffbf00      Ghalibaf
#FE6100      Zakani
#00008B      Hashemi
#9370db      Pezeshkian
#08974a      Pourmohammadi

I perfectly agree with you, especially with the colors of Ghalibaf and Pezeshkian. I suggest we flip the color of Jalili with Hashemi. (check the 2013 election article) Oganesson007 (talk) 20:02, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good. I'll wait for further consensus before formally switching colors. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 20:13, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TDKR Chicago 101 i think Pezeshkian and Pourmohammadi need to be swapped, green has historically always been a reformist color. Rhraj (talk) 13:03, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good thinking! I think that's a good idea to follow precedent. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 17:33, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I respectfully disagree. Purple is a perfect color for Pezeshkian, as it was also Rouhani's color (the main reformist candidate in 2013 & 2017 elections. Pezeshkian is the main, official candidate of the reformists and Zarif, the key member and a minister of Rouhani's government, is also anticipated to become the minister again if Pezeshkian wins). Green on the other hand is more related to principlists, as it was Raisi's color in 2017 and 2021.
My take is it's much better to keep the colors consistent with previous elections (2013, 2017, and 2021). Oganesson007 (talk) 03:28, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Oganesson007
except Rouhani is rather center, in 2013 as you can look up reformist candidate is Mohammad Reza Aref, not Rouhani, it was a strategic vote for reformists, it's even mentioned in the reformist article on Wikipedia.
You can look up Rouhani's party Moderation and Development Party
Zarif himself was a reformist figure who worked extensively in the ministry of foreign affairs during Khatami's presidency.
He was rather a reformist that Rouhani used.
Green goes back to the Iranian Green Movement .
But all that is irrelevant because #01989c light blue has been selected and used in the last two days in the meetings. Rhraj (talk) 14:42, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Jalili should be green
See Persian Wikipedia
Also look at this [2] from the edit request below AlexBobCharles (talk) 16:07, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reformists Front section has been sabotaged[edit]

Pezeshkian is being quoted and referenced wrongly, he never said to vote for others nor that he's only there to promote it. Rhraj (talk) 12:58, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think Iran International which is known to be very hostile toward Iran , misquoted him, as of you see the full statements in [3] it seems he meant it in a more literal sense of the word "principle" instead of a political faction AlexBobCharles (talk) 12:10, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also if you check the source [4] he meant that its better to vote than not vote , not that vote for other people. It seems that the person who wrote these is not fluent in Persian and misunderstood AlexBobCharles (talk) 12:12, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The more i read the article , the more i see errors like this.
The article needs to be checked AlexBobCharles (talk) 12:45, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
why do you delete the source? "What he means" is not what he's said
he did not say he is melted in supreme leader this isn't steven universe he said he is melted in velayet Baratiiman (talk) 13:28, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Read the source
بنده رهبری را قبول دارم؛ اصلا ذوب او هستم
رهبری means Leader
He didn't say ولایت فقیه AlexBobCharles (talk) 15:36, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Baratiiman
Sources like Iran Intl are biased and politically motivated. They tend to mistranslate and misquote. He's quoted by Iran intl regarding morality police that "he'll talk with them", while what he exactly said was "This force and plan is darkness, people who don't wear hijab are our children too, we shouldn't hit them or treat them badly, like my children i will talk with them"
This them is referring to people not the police.
This is only one example of how badly certain media mistranslate and misquote him. Rhraj (talk) 14:57, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If it is any consolation to you, @Baratiiman (who was largely responsible for such incoherent edits that led to the article needing a cleanup tag) had been flagged multiple times for tons of crappy grammar and POV language (a fondness for bashing rather than criticising for example) yet they insist on editing poorly in a classic case of WP:IDNHT. On another note, how the devil does a person melt? Borgenland (talk) 14:17, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Polling numbers[edit]

Should they be adjusted to remove the undecided/other vote or to take into account that in all polls? Right now the oldest one doesn't take it into account but all subsequent ones do. 193.210.194.248 (talk) 13:09, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Other candidates and Second round[edit]

Should Pourmohammadi and Ghalibaf's votes be included in the infobox too? They aren't independent and have parties backing themAlexBobCharles (talk) 11:50, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why not. David O. Johnson (talk) 11:38, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also how will the second round be formatted?
Seems we need to use 2 infoboxes AlexBobCharles (talk) 12:32, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Color of Pezeshkian[edit]

The color of the Pezeshkian is #00989D You can see this color in Persian Wikipedia

In English Wikipedia some of the editors edit this color and chenge it to wrong colors. HosseinKh87 (talk) 18:07, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for results contradict each other[edit]

Right now, the Al Jazeera source lists Ghalibaf's vote total as being 3.38m. However, the Iranpress source lists Ghalibaf's figure as 3363340. It looks like the Iranpress source has a typo, replacing the 8 with a 6. Looking at Persian Wikipedia, they are using ISNA as their source for the election results, and that source is in line with the Al Jazeera source. For that reason, I'm going to edit the vote counts to be in line with Al Jazeera and ISNA, and I'm going to replace the Iranpress source with the ISNA source. If anyone here has any concerns, let me know. JasonMacker (talk) 22:36, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
