Talk:Herat

Majority Sunni?

The article says the city is majority Sunni, but it is unsourced. I don't think this information is true. The main population is Farsiwans, which can in the end be called "Persians" or "Iranians". And they are Shia. 2A00:1028:919E:BE42:3CAB:CA8:FBC7:3917 (talk) 11:54, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Greater Khorasan

Dear Wiki editors,

I made a recent change to the article and added a subdivision on the city info box named "Historical Region: Greater Khorasan" which has been reverted by dear friend @Khestwol.

My sources for this change are:CENTRAL ASIA iv. In the Islamic Period up to – Encyclopaedia Iranica (iranicaonline.org),Khorasan | Region, Location, & History | Britannica and other offline sources mentioned on the article Greater Khorasan. Also according to the article Greater Khorasan and its sources: "Khorasan comprised the present territories of northeastern Iran, parts of Afghanistan and southern parts of Central Asia. The province was often subdivided into four quarters, such that Nishapur (present-day Iran), Marv (present-day Turkmenistan), Herat and Balkh (present-day Afghanistan) were the centers, respectively, of the westernmost, northernmost, central, and easternmost quarters." I would like to also mention the fact that a university named Khurasan University (deep inside the Eastern section of Afghanistan in JalalAbad) has been named after (or in honor of) this region. I am also aware that my claim might seem Nationalistic so I have added the word "Historical" besides region for unbiasedness. I am not making any Pan-Iranian claims so I would appreciate your unbias comments. If consensus is made, I request that this change be made to the articles Merv, Balkh, and Herat.

Your sincerely, Ehsanbasafa (talk) 07:34, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, the Subdivision and Country parameters in the infobox are for the current, and official, subdivisions (not historical subdivisions the city was ever part of). Please check other cities, e.g. Rome and Ankara, on how we use the city infobox throughout Wikipedia. Khestwol (talk) 09:33, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
