On Yalchin Rezazadeh

Dear Faikpro, thank you for your message and kind compliments. Firstly, I am not a professional musician. As a matter of fact, I happen to do very little with my professional skills on Wikipedia. The entry I made on Mastan Ensemble (if you were referring to that) was just a consequence of finding the music making of the group, and their interpretation of music and poetry, remarkably interesting and refreshing. The work I did on Shamakhi Dancers was on the request of User:Arkankipcak. Be it as it may, I shall do some work on the biography of Yalchin Rezazadeh, but it may take some time before I start doing that (perhaps I shall start working on it during the coming weekend, or the following one). In the meantime, if you know any relevant details about life and works of him, please put them on the talk page of his entry; in due course I shall incorporate them into his biography (of course, you could incorporate these details into the main text yourself; I shall subsequently do some editing of the text).
Incidentally, I have put a note here: [1], which you may wish to consider (in any case, if you have the possibility, please watch the 11-minutes piece of the Köroğlu opera by Uzeyir Hajibeyov, the YouTube address of which I have provided; it is one the most fascinating operas that I know, and the dances, specially those by the main ballerina [her facial expressions and her very subtle and barely perceptible movements], are just heavenly — please also note that the libretto is in Persian). With kind regards, --BF 14:25, 29 July 2008 (UTC).

Thank you for your kind message. You are right, I should once visit the entire area, including Baku. You mention Haft-Peykar Nezami. Actually, I know Nezami's poetry very well; they are just intoxicating - once I start reading them, I cannot stop. The most interesting fact is that the language of Nezami of Ganjeh (in Persian: Nezami-ye Ganjavi) is very modern when one compares it with the Persian as spoken today.

Thank you also for the reference to the Mughal-e Azam film. To reciprocate your kindness, I should like to refer you to the film Rostam and Sohrab, made in Tajikestan in 1991; earlier I have added the pertinent links to the "External Links" section of "Rostam and Sohrab". With kind regards, --BF 21:20, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Dear Faikpro, you may be right (in these days and age of Google and similar search machines), but I do not know whether I am remarkable. With kind regards, --BF 13:44, 30 July 2008 (UTC).

On Askar/Asghar Khan Ourmiyavi

Dear Faikpro, unfortunately I do not know Askar/Asghar Khan Ourmiyavi (both "Askar" and "Asghar" are meaningful Persian names; the former means "Army" and the latter "The Younger" or "The Minor", to be contrasted with "Akbar" which means "The Older", "The Great/Greater"). It seems to me that the problem of finding information about him on the Internet might be entirely due to his name being badly transliterated. For instance, it is likely that "Ourmiyavi" may in fact be "Urmiavi", where "Urmia" refers to the place "Urmia", so that "Urmiavi" would in the present context mean: "Askar/Asghar Khan who is from Urmia" (exactly like "Nezami Ganjavi" which refers to the "Nezami from Ganja"). A good source of information about Qajars, is the Official Website of the Qajar Family: [2] and Qajar Dynasty: [3], [4]. You may also consult the website of Iran Chamber Society: [5], or that of Encyclopaedia Iranica: [6] (beware that the search engine of this Site is very inferior so that when it does not find an item, it does not mean that that item is not contained in there - they have a major problem with using a very strange type of fonts for which search engines are not designed). You might also consider this website: [7], or this: [8] and even Encyclopaedia Britannica 11th Edition, which is public domain: [9]. Consider what the on-line Britannica contains: [10]. With kind regards, --BF 19:58, 1 August 2008 (UTC).

Well , I think Askar Khan Ourmavi Afshar is the first Iranian ambassador to French , in the Napoline era . I'm not sure , but highly possible. Thanks--Alborz Fallah (talk) 15:07, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

On Parisa

Dear Faikpro, unfortunately I do not have Parisa's e-mail address. However, I believe that if you look into her Official Website (the address of which I have given in her Wikipedia entry), you will be able to find her e-mail address, or at least a relevant contact address, in the section "Contact Us". I hope this will be helpful. With kind regards, --BF 18:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC).
ps) The link to the Official Website is (also) inside the photograph box. --BF 18:45, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Dear Faikpro, I just realised that I had forgotten to answer your question. No, I know Parisa only through her recordings. She is just perfect, and I believe that from the technical point of view, Iran has never had a female singer of her stature; she is just at the absolute top of her profession. Kind regards, --BF 18:50, 6 August 2008 (UTC).

Dear Faikpro, thank you for your kind e-mail. As it happens, my great-great grandfather was a Persian poet and it happens that Parisa has put at least one of his poems to music. At the time we were all (the entire family) very proud of this. Parisa is truly part of my cultural heritage, since she has been consistently, from the very beginning until today, an extremely serious singer; she has never used her art as a means of enriching herself, and thus has remained faithful to her musical art. She is truly and absolutely a cultural icon of Iran.

I take the opportunity and thank you agsin for considering my humble work on Wikipedia as worthy of an award. With kind regards, --BF 20:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC).

Dear Faikpro, if you would apologise me, I shall not tell my great-great grandfather's name, since in that case I would be guilty of self-promotion; for this very reason, I have never undertaken to write a Wikipedia biography for him, although he certainly deserves one. In a sense, his name is not relevant. With kind regards, --BF 20:43, 7 August 2008 (UTC).

Re:Armenian Turks

I have never heard of 'Armenian Turks.' Maybe that phrase refers to Armenians living in Turkey. Parishan (talk) 11:35, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Pakhlava

I was thinking about the same thing when editing in Baghlava page , but when I searched in my books ( that are not so professional ) , I could not find anything . Indeed in Azeri Turkish we change some "B_"'s to "P_" and/or "Fa_" like : Baghla-Polo to Faxla_Polo . Anyway , I did not find a source for the origin of Paxlava/Baghlava...
Indeed the use of Sugar syrup in cuisine seems to be not so ancient , and that means perhaps it may be possible when the Turkish nomads became settled with the other civilizations of the region , they invented the Baghlava and the name can be a Turkish one : Indeed in Persian , the words with the "gh" ( I mean ق )are all loan words and not originally Persian .--Alborz Fallah (talk) 07:34, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

That is true that cooking Baghlava/Paxlava may go from Esfahan to the western countries like ottoman empire or Georgia , but considering the fact that the sugar was originally Indian and was unknown to Iranians for a long time before Islamic period of Iranians , that makes us to believe the invention of the Baghlava/Paxlava maybe a common Iranian-Turkish invention . After Iranian- Turkish mixture ,many of the Turks lived in cities and became civilian and not nomadic . Please see the Turko-Persian tradition.--Alborz Fallah (talk) 12:31, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Shamakhi dancers

Please refrain from operating with terms such as "vandalism" without first looking into the motives behind someone's edit. For the given article, please see the talkpage. Thank you. Parishan (talk) 23:46, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Shakarbura

I know it from Tehran traditions . It seems the tradition of making it first came to Iran via the immigrants of the former soviet Azerbaijan : don't know how much it is a custom in Iranian Azerbaijan ( have to ask it from the relatives , although the Tehrani traditions are also prevalent in Tabriz too ); but the name seems to be Persian , as the encyclopedia Moein says , the etymology is Shakar ( Sanskrit word means sugar) + Persian word (- Bizeh ) بیزه that means sieved  : sieved sugar . Bikhtan بیختن in Persian is from the middle Persian (Pahlavi language) word of Ve‘xtan.--Alborz Fallah (talk) 09:21, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of День совы (1968)

Hello Faikpro,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged День совы (1968) for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
