Name[edit]

@Esetok: Feel free to take your concerns here. --HistoryofIran (talk) 15:08, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fake name[edit]

Watwat (Vatvat) derived from arabic word وطواط which means "swallow (or bat)". In persian language his name is also وطواط (see this persian publication of "Diwan Watwat"). In every persian sources - he is وطواط, not واتوات. Persian واتوات is fake name added by someone who don't know persian/arabic lang. Esetok (talk) 15:31, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So what? By that logic we should add the Arabic script to every person with an Arabic name, something which Muslims usually have. --HistoryofIran (talk) 15:43, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So that: his persian name is وطواط (read any persian book/article/research about him). Persian uses arabic script (if you don't know). Don't add fake name. That's all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Esetok (talkcontribs) 15:52, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If your concern is a typo, then by all means, go ahead and correct it. If you're gonna be patronizing, then at least do it right. Persian uses the Persian alphabet (a modification of the Arabic script), not the actual Arabic script, which you tried to add. --HistoryofIran (talk) 15:58, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
