Hello.

Are you sure that Rumi was Persian? Although there are many sources which indicate he was Persian, I'm pretty sure he was Turkic and there is a good number of sources to support my idea. Please be open minded and check the other side of the story. Is it concrete clear that he was Persian, or just a thesis?

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.174.156.142 (talk) 15:41, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Well... My suggestion for you is to read Talk:Rumi page and talk page archives. Specially discussions about his ethnicity. You should read a consensus from discussion.:

"A consensus has been reached on this talkpage that Rumi has a Persian heritage. This has been based solely on reliable sources indicating the linkage of the historical situation of his birthplace and native language with Persian culture. Before reopening the debate on his ethnicity editors are requested to go through wikipedia's policies outlined at WP:V, WP:weight, WP:RS as well as read the archives where many of the same polemics are repeated. Specifically, modern authoritative biographies of Rumi such as that of Prof. Franklin Lewis, or google books/scholars for the most common frequent terms such as "Persian poet Rumi" and "Persian mystic Rumi"."

As you you see, there are many reliable sources about his ethnicity. If you have other reliable sources and you claim he has a different ethnicity/heritage/culture, Use the Talk:Rumi page. But you can't change sourced content or use your personal/unsourced claims. If you have reliable, verifiable, academic, and encyclopedia quality sources, citations, books, papers, and etc., provide them on Talk:Rumi. If your claims is acceptable, editors will collaborate with you. But I see you just used that talk page like a forum (without providing any source/citation). Read the WP:RELIABLESOURCES.

I would suggest filing an edit warring complaint against this editor[4] and has already been warned at least 2-3 times on their talk page. I am busy today and may not get around to filing at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. --Kansas Bear (talk) 17:33, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

map

See here [5]..based on that remove any such maps and replace them with what Taivo has put..The wikipedia madeup maps contradict Western academic sources: [6] (University of Texas) [7] (Columbia University)..these maps that claim Qom, Kordestan, Arak, Qazvin etc. as Azeri-Turkish speaking are created by fascist elements..I hope they do not show up in the future.--108.45.113.26 (talk) 01:44, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Date formats

Please don't change the format of dates. As a general rule, if an article has evolved using predominantly one format, the dates should be left in the format they were originally written in, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic. Please also note that Wikipedia does not use ordinal suffixes (e.g., st, nd, th), articles, or leading zeros on dates.

For more information about how dates should be written on Wikipedia, please see this page.

If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on Wikipedia. Thank you.

On that article I used American date format (mdy), because Britney is an American singer and also all dates in the article body has "mdy" format. I edited dates with a script and all of them are citations/references dates not other dates, because as I said the article Circus (Britney Spears album) currently has mdy dates. So I just edited some refs dates to match current format. Also script added Use mdy dates template. So can you explain why my edit/date formatting is not necessary? If I changed all dates and introduced new format to the article, I agree with you. For example, Adele and most Adele related articles use "dmy" format in all scopes. If I changed them to "mdy", my edit/formatting is wrong, unnecessary, and incorrect. But I think for that article (Britney album), my edit/formatting is helpful and necessary.

Prior to your edit, [9] the references in that article used predominantly and consistently the yyyy-mm-dd format for both the publication dates and the accessdates. This format is often used in the references beacuse it is shorter, and for other reasons. There was no need to remove that format from that article's references.
