RaboDirect Pro12 match report: Munster ensure Zebre end season winless
Last Updated: 03/05/13 10:30pm
Munster overturned an eight-point half-time deficit to ensure that RaboDirect Pro12 minnows Zebre finished their campaign without a single victory.
The Italian side looked on course to end a disastrous season with a flourish as they forged into a 22-14 interval lead.
Samoan international Sinoti Sinoti and fellow winger Giovanbattista Venditti both touched down for tries, while fly-half Daniel Halangahu kicked three penalties.
But first-half scores from Paddy Butler and Johne Murphy had kept Munster in touch and the game's decisive try arrived on 65 minutes as replacement BJ Botha went over shortly after coming on.
Ian Keatley, who finished with 12 points, held his nerve to slot the conversion and edge his side two points ahead.
Halangahu could not find the target with a penalty seven minutes from time which would have put Zebre back into the lead, while Keatley saw an effort sail wide of the posts in a nail-biting finale.
That gave Zebre one final crack to break down Munster but the visitors' defence held firm to seal a dramatic victory and one that ensured sixth place in the standings.
Rock-bottom Zebre did at least collect their 10th losing bonus point but it
will be scant consolation for the Parma-based outfit.

Ira Sachs' KEEP THE LIGHTS ON Set for Release in NY and LA, 9/7

|Trailer Releassed for LYLE, Starring Gaby Hoffmann
July 29, 2014
|Related: Ira Sachs, Keep the Lights On, Music Box Films
Directed by Ira Sachs and written by Ira Sachs and Mauricio Zacharias, Keep the Lights On stars Thure Lindhardt, Zachary Booth, Julianne Nicholson, Souleymane Sy Syvane and Paprika Steen. Keep the Lights On will be released on September 7th in New York and Los Angeles by Music Box Films, with a national rollout to follow.
Recipient of the esteemed Teddy Award at this year's Berlin International Film Festival, Keep the Lights On chronicles an emotionally and sexually charged journey of two men in New York City through love, friendship, and addiction.
Documentary filmmaker Erik (acclaimed Danish actor Thure Lindhardt in his first leading role in a U.S. film) and closeted lawyer Paul (Zachary Booth, Damages) meet through a casual encounter, but soon find a deeper connection and become a couple. Individually and together, they are risk takers—compulsive, and fueled by drugs and sex. In an almost decade-long relationship defined by highs, lows, and dysfunctional patterns, Erik struggles to negotiate his own boundaries and dignity while being true to himself.
Keep the Lights On is shot with a grainy beauty that resonates with the texture of New York City, accentuated by disco beats and a mournful cello, both from musician Arthur Russell's eclectic catalog. Director Ira Sachs's fearlessly personal screenplay is anchored by Lindhardt, who embodies Erik's isolation and vulnerability with a gentle presence. Harrowing and romantic, visceral and layered, Keep the Lights On is a film that looks at love and all of its manifestations, taking it to dark depths and bringing it back to a place of grace.

Aren't baby twitpics the best?!
Although this isn't the first time we've seen Jessica Simpson's beautiful baby girl Maxwell Drew Johnson, it's definitely a more intimate snapshot and, well, her eyes are open this time!
MORE: Jessica Simpson Debuts Baby Maxwell!
"Howdy friends," Simpson tweeted with the photo.
Maxwell gives us the cutest face with her chubby cheeks, pouty lips and intense love stare (well, we're assuming is a love stare instead of a get-out-of-my-face stare). And let's not forget—her edgy baby mohawk.
Now that we can see Maxwell's features, we gotta ask, who do you think she looks like more—mom Jessica or dad Eric Johnson? Let us know in the comments!

The top US energy official says global warming is what compelled federal regulators to grant permission to a nuclear power plant in Connecticut to use warmer sea water for cooling. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced today (on Monday) Connecticut's Millstone 2 power plant in Waterford has permission to use Long Island Sound water that's as warm as 80-degrees Fahrenheit.

WASHINGTON — WASHINGTON (AP) — The Institute for Supply Management reports on growth at U.S. services firms in September. The ISM will release its services index at 10:00 a.m. EDT Thursday.
SMALL DECLINE: Economists forecast the index declined to 57.5 in September, according to a survey by FactSet. That would be down from an eight-year high of 58.6 in August. Any reading above 50 indicates growth. The ISM is a trade group of purchasing managers.
STILL HEALTHY: Even if the expected decline occurs, the September reading would still point to healthy growth at service companies. August's reading was the highest since December 2005, pushed up by higher sales and orders. A gauge of new orders reached the highest level in 2 ½ years, suggesting sales should remain healthy in the coming months.
And a measure of hiring rose in August to its highest level in six months.
OTHER DATA LESS UPBEAT: The survey covers businesses that employ 90 percent of the workforce, including retail, construction, health care and financial services.
The survey's jump in August was an encouraging sign that growth may be picking up. But other data have been mixed. Consumers boosted their spending in August only slightly. And while the ISM's index suggested services firms added jobs at a faster pace in August, the government's employment report showed that hiring by services firms slowed that month.
On Wednesday, private payroll provider ADP said that hiring by service firms dipped in September from the previous month. The ADP figures usually diverge from the government's more comprehensive employment report.
The government's September employment report was scheduled to be released on Friday. But it will now be delayed because of the government shutdown.
The shutdown may depress consumer confidence, particularly if it lasts for more than a week. That could cause Americans to cut back on their spending at service firms such as restaurants, retailers and hotels.
Many economists forecast that growth has slowed to an annual rate of 1.5 percent to 2 percent in the July-September quarter, down from a 2.5 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter.
Growth may rebound to an annual rate of 2.5 percent to 3 percent in the current October-December quarter. But that forecast were made before this week's impasse that shuttered the government. The shutdown could shave about 0.15 percentage points from the fourth quarter figure for each week it lasts.

BBC Proms No. 53: Shostakovich Orango
Monday 24 Aug 2015, 7.30pm
Royal Albert Hall, London
The Piano Concerto No. 9 "Jeunehomme" ("Jenamy") in E flat major, K. 271, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was written in Salzburg in 1777, when Mozart was 21 years old.
The work is highly regarded by critics. Charles Rosen has called it "perhaps the first unequivocal masterpiece [of the] classical style." Alfred Brendel has called it "one of the greatest wonders of the world." Alfred Einstein dubbed it "Mozart's Eroica."
The work has long been known as the "Jeunehomme" Concerto. Théodore de Wyzéwa and Georges de Saint-Foix claimed that Mozart wrote the piece for a French pianist 'Jeunehomme' visiting Salzburg. This name is however incorrect; in 2004 Michael Lorenz demonstrated that the name was actually Victoire Jenamy (1749-1812), a daughter of Jean-Georges Noverre, a dancer who was one of Mozart's friends. Mozart had made Victoire Jenamy's acquaintance during his stay in Vienna in 1773.

How to not micromanage employees
I have been doing interviews the last couple weeks. Literally 50% of the people have said how they dislike being micromanaged. Can you give some examples how employers might micromanage their employees? How might one effectively get their point across without micromanaging? I would appreciate any opinions or examples.
I have no managerial experience as an LCO (I work solo or with one employee) but I do have lots of experience as a boss for up to a hundred employees. Since I may be off base for this industry I will keep it to general points:
1. So if you take the time to train and oversee an employee properly you shouldnt expect to many hiccups when they are alone. But... you need to EXPECT mistakes. Only when they make mistakes can you properly correct, retrain and/or discipline properly. If you are always over their shoulder you will never know what their true potential is, or lack thereof.
2. You need to fully understand your employees so you can adapt your leadership style. I personally would rather have someone just tear me a new one while yelling in my face than a cushy little sit down to chat about my feelings or some ****. Some people need more attaboys than others, I dont need a pat on the back often but a few times a year its nice to be recognized. Some people need it every day!
-All this to say some employees might be happy to do a debrief at the end of the week some might need a daily sit down to go over their work. So if you try to always get feedback every hour/day... some employees might see this as micromanaging.
I'll leave it at this for now as im sure there will be a ton of response from others.
I agree it's good to manage your guys with the daily tasks and expectations, but micro managing is the worse. I see alot of guys that micro manage there guys so much, I wonder why they even have employee's, they should just do everything themselves. Alot of us are probaly guilty of this a time or 2 but you got to trust your guys, if ya can't let them do there job, get rid of them. I agree with the above post also, and this is really important, you have to understand each and everyone of your guys, they all have different personality's and needs. It's tough sometime to do it all, but it really helps to understand your crew and be able to comunicate with them.
Although I don't have any employees as an lco. I have been a manager/shop foreman for 15 years. An example of micro management would be if I asked you to trim a shrub. And as you get your first couple of cuts. I stop you to take the trimmers because your f'n doing it wrong!!! Just kidding! I usually just show them the first time so they know what I expect. I always tell them concentrate on the work not on the mistakes. Quality is first, speed is second. If I see them making a mistake. Generally I let them mess up if its not a huge deal. That way I can explain the correct procedure while the mishap is still fresh on their mind. The next time they make that mistake they will think of what I told them. No one is an overnight rock star. They will make mistakes. The key is to not to let them get away with making the same mistakes over and over. Especially if they think you will bail them out of a jam.

Don't let prospects or current employees tell you how to run your business. My response would be I will manage as much as required to ensure the best product, that part is up to you.

Different levels of employment may have different levels of autonomy. If you are a division manager in my company, you are judged by your ability to control 3 things - direct labor, materials/supplies and sales. If my leadership team has clearly defined job skills/levels, committed to training/coaching/continuing ed, objective KPI's and giving timely feedback/reviews - they have the autonomy to run their division as they see fit. If they arent hitting their goals - the leash gets shorter and I try to coach up.
I have found that scaling a company has worked well in the past when I empower, give credit and avoid controlling - I have gotten stuck before when I have taken control and made all the decisions, rather than influencing those decisions.
the Military will refer to it as Logistics.
Take for example a company like Fed Ex or UPS... how do they make things happen? How to they ensure service at an acceptable quality? They are logistical entities that happen to deliver packages as a means of income.
Can you go to work for mcdonalds and make a burger the way you want?
Or do they teach your the processes and procedures?
This is the difference between a Line cook and a chef.
The Line cook gets taught to make an egg a certain way, the sous chef calls out the order "Next Egg" expecting the line cook to do what he's been trained and hired to do.
The chef doesn't tell the line cook what temp to put the fire at, which espatula to use or how to season the egg.
He merely critiques the end result.
Either it is acceptable or it is not.
Same with Mcdonalds manager spends more time in the office than they do out on the line.
they look at numbers and file paper work, they trust the workers to do their jobs they were trained to do and only deal with issues AFTER the fact, if there is an issue.
MICRO managers actually do NOT know how TO manage, so they ad lib with micro management.
Micro management is "don't mow right to left, MOW LEFT TO RIGHT!!"
It shouldn't matter as long as
A) the job was done in the time specified and
B) the job was done to the quality specified.
IF the jobs are going over their allotted time, you notify the employee and possibly discuss why, and make clear your intent this needs to remedied.
Same goes for quality. Same process.
"Your results are not satisfactory, fix it" in not so many words.
If the process isn't followed and sub standard quality or time persists, retraining, discipline or termination follows.
Attitudes like "my way is better" or "I like to do things this way" are NOT following the established processes and procedures.... so essentially "ME. MY.I" don't belong here....
This isn't their company and apparently, this isn't their job either.
50% of the people (possibly more) complaining about micromanaging are either exaggerating or there's a REASON why they were BEING micromanaged.
the other fellows ran into a bad manager (which is way more than 50% of the management out there)
It's hard to tell which one you are hearing from at an initial interview, but taking a gaze at their employment history might leave some clues.
I don't like to be micromanaged? Who says that in an interview? That can be translated to: "I can't listen to directions". Throw out their resumes.

1. Know your employees personalities
2. Remember, you hired THEM to do a job, they will make mistakes or not do things how you would do things.
2A. Train them to succeed
3. Open communication
4. Explain rather than Tell. Employees understand more when something is explained to them rather than telling them to do things. For example, lets use spraying weeds with weed killer. Instead of saying "You have to spot spray 1 inch above the weed", try saying "When spraying weeds, hold the wand an inch above the weed. This way, wind can't blow the spray into the customers plants".
5. Don't be a "Do as I say, not as I do" leader
The biggest thing to me is systems. Proper systems will help employees understand their roles and job responsibilities.

Breaking Local News
Terrorism Group Could Be On The Rise in WV
West Virginia officials are becoming increasingly concerned about a group called "sovereign citizen" that rejects taxes and laws. The Charleston Gazette says state and federal authorities sent a letter earlier this year to local law enforcement officials about the group's increasing presence in West Virginia. Thom Kirk, director of the West Virginia Intelligence Fusion Center, says those numbers could be growing because officials are now more aware of the group and are conducting additional training on the subject. A 2014 study by a national terrorism group listed sovereign citizens as the nation's number one potential terrorist threat. In West Virginia, there are 19 members registered with the website of the National Liberty Alliance, a sovereign citizens group.
Saw Mill Serving Coal Industry Is Cited For Violations
A West Virginia sawmill that serves the coal industry is facing an $85,000 in federal penalties for what the government says is a workplace that puts its workers at risk of serious injuries. OSHA said Monday the proposed penalties follow two investigations and a safety inspection at Wayne Lumber and Mulch Inc., and that the Wayne mill continues to expose its 14 workers to "willful, repeat and serious safety and health hazards..." OSHA says the mill has 15 business days to correct the alleged violations or contest them.
Drug Screens Have Been Added At Some Pain Clinics
It's not as simple as making an appointment at a pain clinic and getting a prescription fo pain meds. Former narcotics officers are being used at some West Virginia pain clinics to screen patients. The Charleston Gazette reports Hope pain clinics in Beckley, Fairmont and Kanawha City are charging patients $150 for an initial screening and $75 for visits after that. The screening includes a drug test, background checks and an interview with an officer, and a controlled substance monitoring database is checked to see if patients have been visiting multiple clinics for prescription pills. It's all part of a broader effort to help curb West Virginia's prescription drug problem by reducing the number of pills on the street.
Yeager Airport Receives Grant Funding
Yeager Airport has more money coming its way for infrastructure improvements. The Central West Virginia Regional Airport Authority gets more than $3.6 million in federal funding for the Yeager projects, awarded by the FAA. The money will help with an electric Preconditioned Air (PCA) system and other clean technology projects that improve air quality. U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin announced the funding.
Emergency Alert Test Wednesday Will Be Comprehensive
West Virginia is gearing up to test a national alert system this week. The Federal Emergency Management Agency will lead a test of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System Wednesday afternoon. The West Virginia Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, the West Virginia Broadcasters Association and others will participate in the test. It is expected to last about two minutes and goes beyond traditional TV and radio emergency notifications to include alert messages to Facebook, Twitter, websites and digital signs. U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall says West Virginia is the only state to be chosen for this integrated test. The results will be used to inform a nationwide evaluation of the system next year.
School Audits Begin Today
Initial performance audits of West Virginia schools will start today as part of a new statewide assessment program. The audits involve onsite visits of all schools by the Office of Education Performance Audits over the next two years. They will provide Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, the state Legislature and the West Virginia Board of Education an overall view of performance. Among the reasons for the visits are to identify needs for professional development and assess the adequacy of school buildings. The visits also will determine if schools are in compliance with state school board policies and if they are meeting quality standards adopted by the board. The results of the audits will be used as part of an A-F grading system that will begin in the 2015-16 school year.
Arrest Made in St. Albans Murder Case
There's been an arrest after a man's body was found at St. Albans City Park last week. 24-yera old Michael Benbow from North Carolina has been charged with murder, accused of murdering Micah Burdette. Burdette's body was found in St. Albans City Park on Tuesday, and police reports show he was shot in the head. Investigators used text messges from Burdette's phone to connect him to Benbow....Burdette had arranged to meet a man named "Smoov" at the park, and police figured out that was Benbow's nickname.
Woman Arrested For Having Gun At A High School Football Game
A woman carrying a concealed handgun at a high school football game is facing charges. 44-year old Lisa Lizotte of Meadow Bridge was arrested Friday night and charged with carrying a concealed handgun, and it's a felony since it was on school grounds. She was also charged with public intoxication and obstructing and officer, according to the Fayette county Sheriff's Department. Police were called after a disturbance at the game.
Six Arrested At A West Side Bar
Six people are facing charges after a raid at a bar in Charleston last night. Police went to the Park Place Bar on the West Side after getting complaints of some drunk and loud people congregating outside the bar. WCHS TV reports there were several people with active warrants and evidence of illegal gambling.
The Supreme Court Will Hear Cases At Marshall U
The West Virginia Supreme Court is going on the road next week. The court will hear cases at Marshall University's Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center on Tuesday as part of the school's celebration of Constitution Week. The cases include an inmate's challenge of a state law that bars jury trials for people found to be mentally incompetent. A Lewis County Circuit Court judge found Justin Sean Gum incompetent and ruled there was sufficient evidence to support a second-degree murder conviction. The judge sentenced Gum to 40 years at William R. Sharpe Jr. Hospital in Weston. Also on the docket is a woman's appeal of a circuit court ruling affirming the Bluefield Municipal Board's order to euthanize her dog.

TVTMaster (talk) 17:37, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
maybe something about, how the start of the qajar dynasty started the down fall of iran. maybe another revolution, with a proper governemtn could solve the problem.
The Qajar Dynasty
Good article but I made one little edit to the article. The Qajars were a Turkmen tribe that held ancestral lands in present-day Azerbaijan
I changed into: The Qajars were a Azeri tribe that held ancestral lands in present-day Azerbaijan
Because this way it would be easier to understand that it were the Azeris and not the Turkmen from other Turkic tribes.
Escaping Iran with substantial assets after '79[edit]
"After the last Revolution, many such Qajars absconded Iran with substantial money, often the result of kickbacks and bribes from governmental posts, and continue to enjoy the fruits of such wealth to this day."
From what I know, I don't belive this to be correct. If you do want to include it, get a good reference and prove it. If you can I wont remove it. However just putting information up on wikipedia (without proof) is't a good thing. It's better to stick to less info, but quality info rather than total rubish.
Furthermore, I know most of the article is not referenced, which is a shame. Maybe you can make a good example by leading the rest of us with a good reference?
The phrase Turkmen is incorrect and misleading when relating it to the ethnicity of the Qajar[edit]
The Qajar were Turks, i.e. Azerbaijani Turks, but not Turkmen. Maybe Turcoman, referring to Iranian Shiite Turkic tribes, would be more appropriate, but not Turkmen. Turkmen refers to the Turkmen of Turkmenistan, who had nothing to do with either Azerbaijani or Iranian rulers. Please do not put this word (Turkmen) in the article, because it is purely misleading. Bm79 16:42, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- They did not descend from Ohguz Turks, however, they did speak a language of Oghuz origin. To say that they are of Oghuz origin is wrong, because, and this is the most obvious reason, they werent Mongoloid!Azerbaijani 21:23, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
- Oghuz Turks aren't mongoloid either. Look at Azerbaijan, Turkey, Gagauzia etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 14:23, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
Ottomans During World War I?[edit]
With all due respect, I find it unlikely that Iran was jointly garrisoned/occupied during World War I by the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire, and the British... simply because the Ottomans were involved in combat against both of these powers, especially in the Arab Revolt. I would love to see some evidence of how this joint garrison worked, or of its existence. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by GWRunkleIV (talk • contribs) 23:57, 27 March 2007 (UTC).
- I imagine it worked like most joint garrisions between warring nations; they shot at each other. 188.8.131.52 13:57, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
As per the Azerbaijani history template, its unnecessary. Are we then also going to add Armenia, Georgia, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, etc... templates? In the Ottoman empire are we going to add Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria, Israel, etc... templates? It doesnt make sense and is unnecessary. Other than that, I made some corrections.Hajji Piruz 13:40, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Again Qajars have more relevance to Azerbaijan, as they spoke the same language and shared the same culture as the rest of what's now known as Azerbaijan. Both Ganja and Karabakh regions of Azerbaijan were governed by Ziyadoghlu Qajars, so it's absolutely relevant. Do not remove the template without proper discussion and consensus. I also added some references to Qajars from Iranica, etc. Atabek 18:01, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- THis makes absolutely no sense at all. The Qajar dynasty is different than the early Qajars that ruled in the Caucasus, as they are their descendants. Also, I removed some repitition and made other corrections, such as wikilinking Turkmen to its proper article.Hajji Piruz 18:35, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Hajji Piruz, please, provide references for your edits. Qajars were a Turkic dynasty without any doubt, there are tons of references on the subject. Atabek 18:34, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- What did I do? The article clearly says they were Turkmens.Hajji Piruz 18:35, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Turkmens are original Oghuz Turks, I don't think we would have disagreement on that. But anyways, I am fine with your current revert of yourself. Atabek 18:44, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Thats only so that I can talk to you about this, because I know that if I didnt revert, someone else would appear to revert me, no use in fighting over it.
- Several things:
- a)Why did you wikilink Turkmen to Oghuz Turks, when there is an article about Turkmens already: Turkmens
- b)Why is the Turkmen stuff in the introduction when it should be in the backgrounds section.
- c)Why is anything Turkish linked to Oghuz Turks?Hajji Piruz 18:46, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Because Qajars were not quite the same Turkmen as known today (meaning from Turkmenistan). They lived in Anatolia for a long tme, and were also part of Shahsevan tribes in Safavid Iran. It's better to designate them in general as Turkic rather than Turkmen or Turkish, to avoid mixture with present-day countries. Moreover, they, just like Safavids, were Azerbaijani-speaking, and their power-base was Azerbaijan. Atabek 19:14, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- But they were not Oghuz, they simply spoke a Turkic dialect. Like almost all Turks in the Middle East, they were simply speakers of Turkic dialects, not actually ethnic Turks. Saying they were Oghuz is highly incorrect. This is only your POV and OR.Hajji Piruz 19:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Actually the Turkic dialect spoken in modern Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iran, and Turkmenistan is Oghuz Turkic subfamily. It's different from Uzbek, Kazakh, and other non-Oghuz dialects of Turkic group. And I don't see why your reaction is so negative. Just like there are Persian peoples today, which are not quite the same as original Persians of Achaemenid era, there are also Turks/Turkmens/Turkomans/Azeri Turks, who are descendants of Oghuz Turkic tribes and adopted their language. What's wrong with this? I don't think the definition severes ties to Iran. Atabek 19:35, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Saying that the Qajars are Oghuz and saying that they speak an Oghuz Turkic dialect are two different things. Actually, there is almost no descendants of the Oghuz in Azeri populations, there is only a linguistic descent, thats it. Saying that the Qajars were Oghuz is pretty hysterical given all the evidence against it. They were Turkomans no doubt, but you Wikilinked it to the Oghuz.Hajji Piruz 00:26, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- Hajji Piruz, saying Qajars were Oghuz Turkic, is the same as saying that Qajars were Turkic/Turkoman/Turkish tribe, which is what tons of references say without using "-speaking" extension. Qovanlu Qajars were part of Shahsevan tribes, which were Turkish from Anatolia. So as I said, you are welcome to make a choice between the above. I think saying Qajars were Turkic is NPOV, rather than using Turkish, Turkmen or Turkoman.
- Same with Achaemenids, we don't say they were Persian-speaking, we say they were Persian. Sassanids were also not Persian-speaking but just Persian. Atabek 00:55, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- No its completely different. They were Turkomans, not Oghuz Turks, and they were not Turkic, they were Turkic speaking. Your example with the Sassanids and Persians is completely off.Hajji Piruz 13:27, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- Hajji Piruz, I brought 6 references there that Qajars were Turkoman/Turkmen/Turks/Turkic. I can bring another 66. It's immaterial if the origin is referenced as Turkic, Turkish or Oghuz Turks, they mean the same thing in context of Qajars. Atabek 21:33, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- The Oghuz were a people from 1000 years ago. We have an article called Turkmen, thanks for showing everyone that your basing all of this on your own POV and OR.Hajji Piruz 03:47, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Turkic vs Turkish vs Turkmen vs Turkoman[edit]
Various sources use any one of these definitions to identify Qajar tribe. So I think for the purposes of disassociating Qajars with Turkey or Turkmenistan, or with modern Turkomans in Iraq, the best is just to use Turkic. Please, provide your comments in this regard. Atabek 23:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Houshyar - revert warring[edit]
Do you even review what you're reverting? Atabek 23:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- I have reverted changes back. Please do not remove sourced info without discussion on the talk page. I am not an expert in the matter but some of the removed info seems to be relevant Alex Bakharev 00:28, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you Alex. Meanwhile, I welcome everyone's participation in discussing the edits here. Atabek 00:37, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- I fixed that section with info from kadjar royal family's own website, hope, this will clarify all, by the way, i think Qajar dynasty and Qajar (tribe) must be covered in separate articles, because there is much info on this page that relates to Qajar tribe more that to Qajar royal family. Ateshi-Baghavan 01:31, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure we can use their own website to write about their own history...(obviously there will be POV issues involved, as they will tend to be biased towards themselves on some issues I'm sure). Anyway, I made some fixes and Wikilinked topics to their proper articles.Hajji Piruz 13:43, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Source wording[edit]
Hajji Piruz, renaming Turkoman to Turkmen, when the source webpage of Qajar family itself says Turkoman looks most definitely as OR. FYI, Oghuz family includes Turkmens, Azeris, Turks of Anatolia, Turkomans of Iraq as well, not only Turkmens. Also, the Iranian Turkmens citing is also a POV and OR, as it's clear from the text that Qovanli Qajars that ruled Iran came from around Caucasus and Anatolia. Atabek 18:55, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- That's your original research. The source only says Turkomans, without any further elaboration. Also, Caucasus was Iran at time, all the major encyclopedias call Qajar "an Iranian dynasty" or a "Persian dynasty", look up Qajar on any Encyclopedia out there. [1] [2] AlexanderPar 19:05, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Reference to Frye[edit]
Added one more reference to Richard Frye, and reworded the introduction of text. Some sources claim Qajars were Turkish tribe others say Turkmen tribe, I believe the compromise is just to use the word Turkic, as in this context it means the same as both, share your thoughts. Atabek 16:47, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- Yea, I inserted the word Turkic. I also re worded to for it to flow better.Hajji Piruz 01:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with replacing Turkish with Turkic. I also think we should replace Turkmen with Turkic along the same lines to avoid association with Turkmenistan. Qajars were not ethnic Persians, so, it's important to improve the flow you mentioned by using the word Iranian. Also, the word "originally" wasn't used by Frye, so let's stick to the source for clarity and avoidance of OR.Atabek 18:31, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- Don't interpret sources, when the source says Persian, then Persian it is, that was the official nationality back then. AlexanderPar 19:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- The Qajars not only became Persians, but they considered themselves as so. In their trips to Europe, they knowingly identified themselves as Kings of Persia...They were originally Turkic, but after a few decades of rule they had become Persians in every sense of the word.
- Also, Turkmen does not mean a person from Turkmenistan necessarily. The word Turkmen should not be removed, as the Qajars were of Turkmen descent.Hajji Piruz 20:25, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- POV and OR. That's not what Richard Frye, who wrote that Qajars were a Turkish tribe, said in a book written after the reign of Qajars. There is no word original there, you can't change an ethnicity in a matter of 80-100 years. Otherwise, we should also recognize that Safavids were a Turkish tribe despite single reference to Safi ad-Din having Kurdish roots. Atabek 22:11, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
We arent quoting Frye in that sentence, we are just using him as a source.Hajji Piruz 16:51, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- The anon IP, which is the same editing Safavid page, has modified the reference to say Qajars were of Azerbaijani Iranian descent. Qajar tribe moved from Anatolia into Caucasus and later to Iran. Richard Frye said "Turkish dynasty" and the consensus was that Qajars were a Turkic dynasty. Atabek 06:51, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
maternal relationship[edit]
when your mother is from a dynasty, you are a member of that. There is no difference between mother or father in this case--Pejman47 17:51, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- I added back the reference that Qajars were of Turkic descent, because that's what Richard Frye reference says - Qajars were Turks. Qajars did not originate in Iranian Azerbaijan, so it's simply false to say that Qajars were Azerbaijani Iranian descent, and then quote Frye on it. Atabek 23:33, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
I winkilinked some of the subjects in the introduction. These need to be wikilinked so that users can click on subjects that interest them. Also, the Qajars did become Persians. They even referred to themselves as Persians and used the term Persia. Its even sourced.Hajji Piruz 01:20, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
"Persian" is a nationality, "Pars" is an ethnicity[edit]
It is important to distinguish between Persian as a nationality (Persian: ایرانی = an inhabitant of Persia) and Pars as an ethnicity (Persian: فارس or پارس). At the time of Qajar dynasty, the name of the country in English language was Persia (a country named "Iran" did not exist at that time in English language), and, therefore, all the inhabitants of the country were Persian (the adjective "Iranian" was not introduced in English language at that time). In Persian language, however, the name of the country was always "Iran (Persian: ایران)" (in fact, no country named "Persia" has ever existed in Persian language).
Regardless of the fact that the Qajars were ethnically Pars or not, there were all Persian, and they were kings of Persia. It was only after 1934 that Reza Shah (from Pahlavi Dynasty) ordered to use the name "Iran" internationally. Using the name "Iran" in this article (and other articles related to the time before 1934) is, therefore, not appropriate. It will create confusion for the reader if he (for example) refers to a map of that time and tries to find a country named "Iran." I will, therefore, replace "Iran" with "Persia" in this article wherever it refers to the name of the country. Please give your comments here if you consider this not justified. FakhredinBlog 14:32, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- FarkhredinBlog, "Qajar Iran" returns about 188,000 hits [3], while "Qajar Persia" returns 158,000 [4]. Iran is not a name which just appeared in 1930s under Reza Shah, it was used before in Iran itself as the name of the country. Thanks. Atabek 15:00, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- In the Atabek's editions , I think it is better to mention in the opening that Persia and Iran are used as equal words in this text, such as using something alike persia/Iran...Indeed it may be problematic to call the Turkic language Qajars " a Persian dynasty"...( I mean an Iranian dynasty fits better)--Alborz Fallah 16:15, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- FarkhredinBlog, "Qajar Iran" returns about 188,000 hits [3], while "Qajar Persia" returns 158,000 [4]. Iran is not a name which just appeared in 1930s under Reza Shah, it was used before in Iran itself as the name of the country. Thanks. Atabek 15:00, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- That's fine to put an introductory note, which would clear things up, that in historical Western context Iran prior to 1935 was referred to as Persia, so the words maybe used interchangeably. By the way, intro text used to say Iranian dynasty, because that's what book by Abbas Amanat says "Iranian monarchy", I don't know why it got changed to Persian. I think for the purposes of Wikipedia article, it's better to stick to modern more general definition of Iran. Atabek 16:23, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Atabak, thank you for your comment. Just a few points:
1. I completely agree with you that "...Iran is not a name which just appeared in 1930s under Reza Shah, it was used before in Iran itself as the name of the country." To see the point more clearly, we should distinguish between "Persian" and "English" vocabulary. Since "Persian" is the official language of Iran (Persia), the usage of the name "Iran" in Iran itself was limited to Persian vocabulary. In this sense, we have the same point of view. I should emphasize that in Persian vocabulary, the name of the country is (always was, and will be) "Iran." However, for English language it is a different story. The name "Iran" is only introduced into English language after Reza Shah, and before that time, this word did not exist in English vocabulary.
2. The proportion of the hits shows that "Qajar Persia" is also a popular hit, and the hit "Qajar Iran" is only about 16% higher. As both hits receive substantial attention, I think our choice in Wikipedia should be based on scientific and historical facts.
3. I agree with Alborz Fallah to have an introductory note. In this case please take it into account that Persia is not only a historical name. The name "Persia" can officially be used again since 1959 (for more information please refer to the article "Iran naming dispute"). FakhredinBlog 10:01, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
- During the Qajar era, Persia was the name of the country and Persian was the nationality in the English language, so the correct terminology here is Persian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 06:19, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- It is complete nonsense to say that the word "Iran" was introduced into English by Reza Shah in 1935. See the 1911 Britannica for instance, which calls the country Persia, but uses Iran as a geographical term for the plateau on which the country of Persia is located. It was a longstanding synonym for Persia in English well before Reza Shah decided that the country should not be called Persia in English anymore. john k (talk) 22:11, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
New edits[edit]
Mani1, you have removed the references to the descent of Qajars in your most recent edits. Please, do not remove sourced material from the article without discussion on talk page. Address your points and justify your removal, obtain consensus and then edit. Thanks. Atabek 19:49, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

- I have removed and changed the terms in question. Also, I changed murder to "death", since I could not find any mention/source for murder. If this is incorrect, then provide a source for the "murder" and change it back. --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:49, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
My contribution to the article...[edit]
I added Turkic to the list of languages of the Qajar dynasty, which I cited from Encyclopædia Iranica. It appears that Turkic was used in court by the Qajar rulers -- at least according to the source in question. This makes me wonder if the Qajar dynasty was indeed Persianized, as the lead sentence of the article suggests, or if this information is actually wrong. I think it's best if the lead sentence simply stated that it was an Iranian royal family of Turkic origin, unless someone could find the quotation that would confirm the dynasty was Persianized. --Nadia (Kutsuit) (talk) 16:30, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
Derogatory comments in introduction[edit]
In the sentence
"In Iran, the Qajar dynasty is commonly considered the weakest dynasty in Iranian history that lost many of its controlled areas to the Russians",
the portion
"is commonly considered the weakest dynasty in Iranian history that"
is derogatory, vague, is not neutral, and and is not backed by any source, so I removed it. Its author's (User:HistoryofIran) comment
"i don't think we need a source that the Qajars were one of the weakest Iranian dynasties, i mean look what they did to Iran."
is simply not acceptable by wikipedian standards. Sapphorain (talk) 08:51, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
Original research by user:Karak1lc1k[edit]
User:Karak1lc1k, continues to edit war Azerbaijani language into the template, yet the source clearly states, "Turkic".
"''Turkic-Iranian Contacts, John R. Perry, Encyclopaedia Iranica, (August 15, 2006);"Turkic was also the mother tongue and, to an extent, the court language of the subsequent Afsharid and Qajar dynasties".[5]
Nothing in the source supports "Azeri Turk". Therefore this, yet again, is original research. --Kansas Bear (talk) 15:15, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- Done
Ardabil Becomes a Province: Center-Periphery Relations in Iran, H. E. Chehabi, International Journal of Middle East Studies, Vol. 29, No. 2 (May, 1997), 235;"Azeri Turkish was widely spoken at the two courts in addition to Persian, and Mozaffareddin Shah (r.1896-1907) spoke Persian with an Azeri Turkish accent...." --Kansas Bear (talk) 18:47, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
