Talk:Imam Khomeini Square

Change title to Toopkhaneh Square

Toopkhaneh is more specific, is commonly used, and has more historic weight. Other locations like Naqsh-e Jahan Square or Shah Mosque also have their historic and commonly used unofficial names as their titles. We could mention that the square is officially called Imam Khomeini in the first sentence. Amhmr (talk) 09:13, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

@Amhmr Hello. Since you mentioned Naghsh-e Jahan Square in Isfahan, I write about it firstly. Both Naghshe Jahan and Imam are mentioned in state news agencies and travel websites in the same amount, but Naghshe Jahan is a UNESCO site, so that name is more suitable. In the case of Imam or Toopkhane, since there is Imam Khomeini station next to the square, it is more appropriate to use Imam. funny thing is, neither Imam nor Topkhane has not much prevalence in english news. I wrote a rather huge history section in the article, so one could understand the whole idea behind the three names. The.shahab (talk) 09:33, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

@Amhmr Also, I can mention Place Charles de Gaulle in Paris. Many people refer to its historic name (Place de l'Étoile) and many people (especially foreigners) use the official name. The.shahab (talk) 09:56, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
