If you can't think of any particular corners to improve on Wikisource, how about taking a look at Portal:Religious texts, Portal:Wars or Portal:Texts by Country for some ideas? Don't forget to list your contributions on those pages as well so others will find and read them in the future!

Author:Nezāmi-ye Ganjavī
Author:Nezāmi-ye Ganjavī is an author who wrote in the Persian language, in the Persian Empire, in what is now Azerbaijan, born to a Kurdish mother. Given that Category:Azerbaijani authors and Category:Persian authors are subsets of Category:Authors by nationality, and he was never part of an Azerbaijani nation, Category:Persian authors is more relevant.

More importantly in some ways, I simply reverted your first edit because it had no edit summary and simply (and ungrammatically) changed Persian to Azerbaijani instead of actually expanding the text to approach the issue of who he was, in a massively different cultural and political environment. I suspect you'll find many editors on pretty much all the Wikimedia projects have a similar negative response, as trying to pigeonhole ancient people and places into modern categories has caused many a flamewar on various projects, with little overall gain.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:38, 4 September 2009 (UTC)


 * That is twice that we have had to revert the edits. Please re-read the information above, and leave modern nationalism aside from medieval authors.  A third time would be unwise. billinghurst  sDrewth  15:45, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
