including the OED, disagree that Farsi should be considered a deprecated term in the English language. It seems to bethe case that you personally find the word Farsi to be distasteful in an english context - althpugh there is nothing inherently wrong with using the word. In my view this is a case similar to changing date formatting from BC to CE because of personal preferences - when according to the MOS, one should follow the dating system used by the mai contributor to an article. Establishing an account only to change the term Farsi to Persian because of a personal preference is disruptive to the establishment of consensus which is the basic wikipedia operating principle. When the editors who deal with farsi/persian language have established a consensus to disallow the use of the word Farsi - then blanket changes, like the nes you are undertaking can be made - not before.
545:. You may disagree with it but it is official. We can of course put it into discussion, but after all we should accept the fact that the word "Farsi" should NOT be used in English text, as it is officially decided. You may not be aware of the history, but the whole thing started less than 30 years ago. That means until late 70's the word "Farsi" was not part of English vocabulary. The fact that some people started using that and made it popular does not make it right. It should be actively corrected. Even if some people search for the word "Farsi," we should redirect them to the correct source, instead of trying to facilitate their search. I hope the issue is clearer now. 734:
or most common name – any names of languages, that are also more or less widely used and that are likely to be heard, regardless of its political correctness. Your counterexample of "Suomi" doesn't work, because "Suomi" isn't used in English (or German, French, etc.), but "Farsi" is (though, not as commonly as "Persian"). A better comparison would be "Sakha" vs. "Yakut". People searching the list for Farsi should be able to find it. Furthermore, this is not an English text, but a list of languages, along with their alternative names, if they should be used ot not. So your claims are clearly invalid for this very article. Please accept that. —
541:. I understand your points. My effort in editing the texts does not meant to disrupt wikipedia. For your information, I did not use any automated tool! I did it manually. It is a hard thing to do but I considered it important enough to do so. In addition, automated tools are prone to mistakes. While I tried to evaluate every text to find out in which context the word should be replaced and in which one not. Clearly my judgment is different from yours, but it does not make me wrong, and does not make you right as well. In fact, it is not about me being justified or not, it is an official decision from 1060:, which just means that we use the language that actually exists, rather than trying to set standards. The fact is that, as multiple people are telling you here, the terms "Persian" and "Farsi" are both used in English to refer to the same modern language. Hence, both are acceptable on English Knowledge (XXG). Further, to repeat what Geo Swan has said, changing direct quotations is wrong, and changing the terms used in particular referenced material is bad. Neither should be done. 641:, I don't speak (and cannot read) the language in question; most English speakers cannot. That particular article has a history of low-quality edits, which is one reason I jumped on it so quickly and reverted the entire thing. I realize that most of the foreign language terms in the article don't have referencing, but I'd appreciate it if you provided referencing for your version of the text. If you do so, I have no problem whatsoever with that part of your edit. 753:. I did all the changes manually in order to have a good judgment for every article separately. Clearly my point of view is different from some other users. I still think that my example of "Suomi" versus "Finnish" is valid. The fact that something is common does not make it right. What if some people start using Suomi now and make it popular? After 20 or 30 years, should we accept that name to enter official texts? I do not think so. 775:(a Turkic language from Siberia), which used to be called "Yakut" (German: Jakutisch) for quite a while, but as the speaker prefer to have their own name used, "Sakha" in this case, this has gained wider use now and has even become official. Linguistic works call the language "Sakha" almost exclusively now. If something like this happens to "Finnish/Suomi", then okay, then "Suomi" should also be included in that particular list. — 589:. The phrase "جنگ داخلی امریک" is not correct. The correct phrase is "جنگ داخلی آمریکا." I hope that you see the extra character at the end, and the change in the other character. I kindly asked you not change the Persian phrase in case you decide to undo my edits. I understand that you may not agree with me, but please accept the fact that my knowledge of Persian language is better than yours. Thank you for your understanding. 678:. I would like to add that I did not established my account solely to change this particular term. It is evident from the date that the account is made and the dates of the edits. It just happened that I am interested to this topic (besides many other topics). If you see few contribution of mine in Knowledge (XXG) English is just because I contribute more in Knowledge (XXG) Persian (whenever I have time). 690:, and point of view of OED and other references, enough to perform the changes. Apparently it is not the case for Knowledge (XXG), although it is for me. I hope the editor establishes a consensus soon. Let me also add this, as my personal point of view, that the consensus should not be based on what the majority of Knowledge (XXG) users prefer, but rather what scientifically is evaluated and published. 685:
I made systematic changes simply because there were systematic inconsistencies, and you appreciate that more than 95% of my edits were justified. The discussion is just about some disagreements on less than 5% of those. I do, however, agree with you that the editor should have established a consensus

With regard to the communication you had with dbachmann (dab) above, I probably should have said "informed" rather than "warned"; there was no need to say more than that. My point is that you did have information about this issue on Knowledge (XXG) before you made your mass edits. With regard to the

In fact, it is not a matter of personal preference, but a matter of consistency in individual articles and throughout the encyclopedia. One may use Farsi in place of Persian throughout a particular text or in a systematic fashion throughout the encyclopedia, but from an editorial point of view one
592:
Last, but not least, I see no justification to use the word "Farsi" in this particular article. The article is not about the names of the languages, and other languages are stated by their English names. The word "Farsi" is used as stand alone, without the name "Persian" beside it. I appreciate if

In the late 70s and early 80s, the word "Farsi" was introduced into the English vocabulary by some non-native English-speakers, who, themselves, were unaware of the name of their mother tongue in a foreign language. If you deny the authority of an authorized party to introduce the name of the

897:. You mentioned a very important point. The fact that every couple of months someone changes Farsi to Persian means that there is an official/scientific reason behind it. It is not just personal point of views. Although many users may disagree, the official decision remains valid. 682:
may not use Persian in most of the occasions and suddenly use Farsi in the next sentence. This will confuse the reader more than giving him more information. It is at least wise to use Persian as the official name and use Farsi in brackets beside it only if necessary.

Their last point is ludicrous, and quickly dispelled by a 1-second Google-Scholar Search, that shows thousands of scholarly papers using "Farsi". 844:; Most probably you "always have done" that simply because you consider Persia and Iran two different entities, while, in fact, they are not. 75: 985:
