Interviews

Interesting interview with a doctor who was with her when she was dying: BBC material (YouTube) and with her fiance channel one Shahram Homayoun (YouTube), in Persian and Al Jazeera (in English) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vuvar1 (talk • contribs) 11:34, June 25, 2009(UTC)

Correction on the etymology of the name "Neda"

Need to correct the etymology of the Name "Neda" as Arabic rather than Persian. --Zaman (talk) 16:32, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Rename?

Wouldn't Neda Agha-Soltan be a better name for this article? Tangerine Cossack (talk) 22:17, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Every time an innocent person is murdered, somebody says that the person is not notable, but the murder is. Go figure.Redhanker (talk) 03:10, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, the person is notable because of the way they were murdered *shrugs*. If they aren't notable at all, why include biographic details? Horatio (talk) 22:41, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

False flag?

In Australia, ABC news reported that she had been shot from the rooftops. The next news report from a different source stated that the protesters had commenced a new strategy, in that they were protesting from the rooftops. Is it a possible 'false flag' incident, that is, was she shot by her own people in order to obtain sympathy for their cause? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.129.109.157 (talk) 20:56, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

POV issues

The article suffers from several POV issues; The text gives the readers the impression that the death was in fact a killing carried out by the Iranian government. It's in the lead saying it was done by Basij, without having denials accompanied by it. The article does not say anything the "intersection" documentary by Marzieh Hashemi. Also, it dedicates a whole section to "CIA conspiracy theory" while just dedicates almost a line to the "conspiracy of western governments". The article gives the least space to the counter arguments. For example there are allegations regarding the role of an un-known woman in the incident, or how some anti-government parties criticized a documentary by Iranian government, even when it was not braodcasted. --Mhhossein 08:12, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

One may also take a look at this Persian source raising doubts over the death incident, which is likewise not covered in the article. --Mhhossein 11:38, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Can some one say which source supports "Wolf Blitzer was incredulous that Ghadiri would offer a conspiracy theory..."? Also, why sources like this is not used to balance the view points? --Mhhossein 12:31, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

there are reliable sources supporting the killing of Neda by the Iranian Government : . I quote : "The 26-year-old's death has come to symbolize Iranian resistance to the government's official election results since it was captured on amateur video. Within hours of its being posted online June 20, she had become the iconic victim of the Iranian government crackdown. But Iran has been pushing back against eyewitness reports that she was shot by pro-government Basij militiamen perched on a rooftop near a demonstration.
I quote again "That's when she was shot dead. Eyewitnesses and video footage of the shooting clearly show that probably Basij paramilitaries in civilian clothing deliberately targeted her. Eyewitnesses said they clearly targeted her and she was shot in the chest."
I quote : "Neda shot by Iranian militiaman, doctor tells BBC"
Need more ? i have other sources in English and French all saying the same thing. Best regards.---Wikaviani 14:40, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
They are quoting eyewitness's records, none of your source are saying she was killed by government. --Mhhossein 07:55, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
@Mhhossein: So when CNN says "she had become the iconic victim of the Iranian government crackdown" this does not mean that she was killed by the Iranian government according to you ? what would we need to say so then ? Khamenei coming himself in the streets of Teheran to shoot down this young lady ?? Come on man.---Wikaviani 08:26, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
No, it does not mean. The source should be clearly making the accusation in its voice, without attributing it to others (e.g. witnesses). Please collaborate in building consensus. Who killed Neda is not the only POV issue of the article, read my comment and you'll see I've raised several other POV issues concerning the page. --Mhhossein 13:46, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
  • "(...) none of your source are saying she was killed by government."
Are you sure you're looking at the material posted by Wikaviani?
There are literally dozens of WP:RS sources that state that the the woman in question died at the hands of a militiaman affliated to the Iranian regime. Here's one of them:

"In recent years the unjust suffering or death of specific individuals, referred to here as violent person-events, has been at the centre of political protest in several countries: such as the case of Neda Agha-Soltan, shot and killed by a regime-related militiaman during protests against the fraudulent presidential election in Iran in 2009 ". -- Olesen, Thomas. "Dramatic Diffusion and Meaning Adaption: The Case of Neda", in Spreading Protest: Social Movements in Times of Crisis Donatella della Porta, Alice Mattoni (ed). ECPR Press. p. 71

All theories compiled by the Iranian government are dismissed by WP:RS as conspiracy theories:

"The reaction of various organs and officials of the Islamic Republic was entirely predictable and all predicated on their penchant for conspiracy theories. This whole incident, they insisted, was a plot by the CIA, the BBC, and the CNN to defame the Islamic Republic and thus pave the way for a velvet revolution ". -- Dabashi, Hamid (2016). Iran: The Rebirth of a Nation. Palgrave Macmillan. p. 150

- LouisAragon (talk) 14:57, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
Sure, carefully checked them. There's actually no concrete evidence saying who killed here and it's still a debated topic. The first source, i.e. "Spreading Protest", does not make us ignore plenty of others just reporting the witnesses's records. Likewise, though you can include Dabashi's opinion in an attributed manner, it does not mean we should remove IRI's claims from the article. I don't see how you say it's dismissed by RS. --Mhhossein 15:40, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
The IRI sources are not reliable, you've already been told that by numerous editors on numerous topics before. I've read your above comment, your proposal to include strongly biased IRI regime sources in the article is not a WP:NPOV way to neutralize the article, rather, it would go against WP:WEIGHT. Why don't you provide several high quality sources like the one i posted above to support your claims ? You cannot because the whole world know that basijs militia killed that young woman and you are trying to cover this. Also, your accusations of edit warring toward me are baseless since you're the one who needs to follow WP:BRD and achieve consensus when you have been reverted before reinstating your POV tag, , see WP:ONUS. If we cannot fnd a common ground and if you continue edit warring to push your POV, we'll go for a RFC.---Wikaviani 16:32, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
Mhossein, I would advise you to stop. You have already been strongly warned for pro-IRI pov-pushing not so long ago. --HistoryofIran (talk) 17:14, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
@Wikaviani: BRD and ONUS has nothing to do with discussion, which is on the neutrality of the article. There are unresolved issues here and you call or removing the tag, this has some clear messages! @HistoryofIran: That you come here and remove the tag from the article without commenting here warrants a warning. Also, I think it was you who were blocked for his POVs, so don't blame others with baseless accusations and try to work instead of edit warring. --Mhhossein 18:53, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

@Mhhossein: "BRD and ONUS has nothing to do with discussion" :

Yes it has, this is the way this encyclopedia works, whether you like it or not.

"There are unresolved issues" :

And who exactly consider this as "unresolved issues" ? which reliable source ? Marzieh Hashemi ? a Press TV journalist ?? do you really think that Hashemi can/wants to contradict the government version of the course of events ? Stop wasting our time with your WP:FORUM-like posts to push your pro-Mullahs POV without providing any reliable source and desist from thretening other users who made only one revert of warning, the only one who deserves to be warned for edit warring here is you and only you and so have you been by me on your talk. Just drop it or provide high quality reliable sources, not like the crap you posted above in your first comment of the section..---Wikaviani 20:33, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
