A fact from Rudaki appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 March 2023 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that Rudaki (portrait pictured) is acknowledged as the founder of New Persian poetry in Iran and the father of Tajik literature in Tajikistan? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2023/March. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rudaki.

I would like to suggest that in listing publications by authors such as Rudaki, it would be a) useful, b) respectful, c) a demonstration of Wkepedia's true universality, to also list publications in the original language, or the most diffused closest language (Urdu, for example?), and not limit them to european languages.

Regards

Urdu? Rudaki lived in Panjrud (now Panjakent, Tajikistan) and he is considered a founder of Tajik-Persian classical literature.

Not long ago a book Father of Songs by Sassan Tabatabai was published. It is said that this book is the first of its kind which provides English translations of Rudaki's poetry.--Ibrahimjon (talk) 09:13, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey all, I did a copy edit for language and have removed the copy-edit tag. I added expert tags for certain sections, because certain phrases are very ambiguous but can only be improved by an expert, for example:

• "he was the first who impressed upon every form of epic, lyric and didactic poetry its peculiar stamp and its individual"
• "unequalled models of a refined and delicate taste"

Note: checked the page with Earwig's Copyvio Detector and Pantheon.world[1] seems to have plagiarized the Wikipedia page, not vice versa. Benji man (talk) 15:25, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Iranians/persians in the east were called as "Tajiks" at the time of Samanid Empire. Currently, this identity is used throughout Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and China.

It would be proper to correctly point out his ethnicity as "..was a *Tajik* poet, singer and musician who..".

"The first major poet to become known for writing in New Persian was Abū ‘Abdullāh Ja‘far b. Muḥammad Rūdakī, a native of the village now known as Panjrūd in the Zarafshan Valley of northern Tajikistan.", p73, https://cmes.fas.harvard.edu/publications/history-tajiks-iranians-east Wikihelperr134 (talk) 23:58, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. It originally said "Persian poet", I removed it per MOS:ETHNICITY. Also, Iranians/Persians were called a variety of things, Tajik among them (which was also used in the west [2]). Still, "Tajik" was not an ethnicity like the way it is today. --HistoryofIran (talk) 01:35, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I am new, not aware of all the nuisances yet: Is there a reason (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdowsi)'s ethnicity is mentioned as Persian then? Wikihelperr134 (talk) 07:19, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not particularly. That article hasn't received much love unfortunately. --HistoryofIran (talk) 10:39, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
