- Of course! It's such a shame that so many core concepts in Computer Science do not have well-written articles. I do my best to right that! GearsDatapack (talk) 20:32, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
2025–2026 Iranian protests
[edit]In the Persian-language article, your claim is seriously challenged, and they rely on a completely different set of sources. Their argument seems more credible, especially since they reference well-known outlets like the BBC and Radio Farda and are speaking from within Iranian society itself. In Iran’s domestic context — where I myself am an Iranian activist based in Bandar Lengeh in southern Iran — the roles of the Prevention Police, the Criminal Investigation Police, and the NOPO Special Unit in such matters are very clear and well established.
Also, the ground force unit that carried out the operation in Kermanshah was the Saberin Special Forces Brigade. Additionally, the Nabi Akram Corps of Kermanshah is part of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), not part of the Basij, which itself operates under the IRGC.
Furthermore, Ali Moayedi, head of the Prevention Police, and Mohammad Ghanbari, head of the Criminal Investigation Police, are both senior military commanders in Iran.
Please revise your article accordingly and align it with the Persian-language article. میثم سجادی (talk) 02:50, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

- Hello! I'm sorry that there has been some miscommunication between the English and Persian languages, and I understand that this is a highly contentious topic. However, I have not contributed to either article, and I do not speak Persian so unfortunately I am not able to help with this situation. GearsDatapack (talk) 07:06, 28 January 2026 (UTC)
- متأسف نباش، من برای تو یک سلسله منابع و واحدین ارائه کردم که میتونی اصلاحش کنی متن رو.

- I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you're trying to tell/ask me here. {{GearsDatapack|talk|contribs}} 18:29, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
- I’m asking you to sort out and edit the article on Iran’s nationwide protests in 2025–2026 so it lines up properly with Persian Wikipedia.
The sources used are all legit and official. Also, the English article says the Nabi Akram Provincial Corps in Kermanshah is part of the Basij, which is straight-up wrong. میثم سجادی (talk) 19:01, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
- @میثم سجادی
- Well I'm sorry but I don't feel I'm able to fulfil this request. I don't speak Persian so I am unable to verify or extract information from the sources provided. You would be better off editing the article yourself, or if you are unable to, making an edit request. I am also a little confused as to why you asked me specifically to do this, as I have never touched that article, or any Iran-related article. {{GearsDatapack|talk|contribs}} 19:56, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
- مطمئن باش و به من اعتماد کن، من منابع را بررسی کردهام. میثم سجادی (talk) 20:32, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
- Mate, trust me, okay? I have checked all the sources and the admins of Persian Wikipedia also confirm them, the sources are accurate and completely reliable, I have put a lot of effort to translate them for you and even made a table to make reading it easy for you, I cannot edit the article about the nationwide protests 2025–2026, so please add this information so the text is corrected and the Persian Wikipedia text becomes like the English Wikipedia text, which each of them has written completely different sentences.
Here’s the kicker: the English Wikipedia’s got it wrong saying the Nabi Akram Kermanshah Corps is part of the Basij, nah, that’s completely off. میثم سجادی (talk) 01:04, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

- Be that as it may, posting this on a random user talk isn't the way to get this change implemented. Please make an edit request on the relevant talk page. {{GearsDatapack|talk|contribs}} 02:31, 30 January 2026 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, misinformation is widespread in cyberspace. Unfortunately, I cannot edit those pages. I am an Iranian from Bandar Lengeh and a verified and stable user on the Persian Wikipedia. However, the Persian Wikipedia is independent of the English Wikipedia and my account there is separate from my account here. میثم سجادی (talk) 11:26, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

- I understand that you can't edit the article. I am asking you to please make an edit request on the talk page of the relevant article, rather than asking me directly. {{GearsDatapack|talk|contribs}} 12:01, 30 January 2026 (UTC)
- Unfortunately I can't even edit the talk page, the talk page is uneditable and locked. میثم سجادی (talk) 12:48, 30 January 2026 (UTC)
- Ah I see. You should still be able to edit it though, as you are autoconfirmed. {{GearsDatapack|talk|contribs}} 13:03, 30 January 2026 (UTC)
- Please request an edit on the talk page for me, I'm sure you're doing this for me, brother. میثم سجادی (talk) 13:17, 30 January 2026 (UTC)
