The campaignbox doesn't have a show button and is instead permanently expanded. There should be a show/hide function but it's absent for some reason! Can anyone fix this? Parsa1993 (talk) 00:49, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Show/hide is working on my end. See suggestions on my talk page. Zpeopleheart (talk) 01:29, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

After some thought, I have come to the conclusion that the use of the term "Naderian" is, at least for now, inappropriate for Wikipedia. This is because no current academic publication uses that transliteration. In fact, there exists no descriptive term for events and matters relating to the person of Nader and his reign and era in the English language. Of course, the term نادری exists in Persian, but this hasn't been borrowed by any English language scholars. My creation of the term "Naderian" was meant to offer just such a transliteration, but essentially this is "OR"^[1] and so inappropriate. Quite soon I will have to start a Ph.D. and I will be introducing a transliteration of the Persian term نادری but I don't think I will go with "Naderian" this time round. Perhaps "Nadery" or "Naderi" would be better as they more directly correspond to their Persian equivalent. In any case, none of the above terms appear in any of the available literature at the current moment. Therefore it's best if we just simply use Nader's campaigns/Nader's wars. (I would rather not use Nader Shah's campaigns/.... since it's slightly longer and also there are numerous biographers who simply refer to him in the majority of cases as simply Nader rather than his adopted title of Nader Shah).
