Talk:The Little Black Fish

Comments

• I remember an article about Samad’s death by his father in an Iranian newspaper after his death, the article was titled something like “The little fish was drawn in a lake” implying that Samad was killed by SAWAK. It was a great piece and I love to read it again, does anyone have a copy? Kiumars

• I removed the following line because the story is universal and has nothing to do with a specific country, unless you can provide references!

Sea= land of freedoms... Pown= Iranian society ... black fish= the average Iranian... Kiumars

• How about some basic information, like when was this book written or first published? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.54.229.148 (talk) 08:19, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Sources

The source doesn't say that this book was originally written in Azerbaijani, but claims that he was forced to translated his works to Persian, this is a big claim and needs a reliable source for its verification, which you have not provided. And also I saw an Azeri book listed in here "تاپما جالار ، قوشما جالار(مثلها و چیستانها)" ‍‍‍, which contradicts that claimPejman47 (talk) 16:19, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

• The source says Behrangi wrote in Azeribaijani language, then translated them into Persian in order to make them available in Iran (at that time). It's a quite clear sentence. The source is reliable, unless you disprove what's written there. Regards, E104421 (talk) 14:20, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

when a source is reliable at least its publisher and author must be known! in which in this case, is NOT. see WP:RS‍, you also didn't answer to part of my previous comment!~‍‍‍Pejman47 (talk)

• See "Samad Behrangi's life" A biography by Professor Iraj Bashiri, University of Minnesota. Regards. E104421 (talk) 15:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Samad Behrangi published also in Azeri > تاپما جالار ، قوشما جالار --Babakexorramdin (talk) 00:10, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

A personal website which is hosted on Angelfire, is not a verifiable source. Verifiability is the key to inclusion. --CreazySuit (talk) 07:49, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

• That personal website belongs to Professor Iraj Bashiri, University of Minnesota. See the link. From now on, i shall respond on the Talk:Samad Behrangi page where this discussion belongs to. Regards. E104421 (talk) 13:13, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

"Black Fish" is definitely NOT "an average Iranian". The Little Red Fish could very well be... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruby Emam (talk • contribs) 03:29, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Iranchamber, Azeri

Dear E104421, iranchamber.com is not a reliable source, by the way, it dosn't read what you wrote. Azeri has never been banned in Iran, as for example Heydar Babaya Salam was published in 1954.--Raayen (talk) 15:02, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

• As i had already stated above i responded on the Talk:Samad Behrangi page where this discussion belongs to. Regards. E104421 (talk) 11:03, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

OK, let's leave reliability for now. The source doesn't say what you edited.--Raayen (talk) 17:44, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

• I've replied on Talk:Samad Behrangi and provided the quitation there. Regards. E104421 (talk) 13:55, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Banning

Actually, it was not banned. According to this BBC article, the book was published by the 'Publications of the Center for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults' a subset of Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults in 1967.
