Geography section

"It is one of the world's most mountainous countries, its landscape is dominated by rugged mountain ranges that separate basins or plateaus."

Please change this to either:

1. "It is one of the world's most mountainous countries; its landscape is dominated by rugged mountain ranges that separate basins or plateaus." (Note the semicolon)

Or

2. "It is one of the world's most mountainous countries, its landscape dominated by rugged mountain ranges that separate basins or plateaus."

(Note the removal of "is")

Thank you 2A02:C7E:2F68:AC00:5833:8A6:8446:B664 (talk) 10:47, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oops accidentally sources 2A02:C7E:2F68:AC00:5833:8A6:8446:B664 (talk) 10:47, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALSO

Please make lowercase "presidential" in this sentence

"Iran is officially governed as a unitary Islamic Republic with a Presidential system"

(presidential system unneeded to be capitalised)

I have made two requests so if one is bad but one good and you only do one of them you can mark my edit request as done anyway. Thank you 2A02:C7E:2F68:AC00:5833:8A6:8446:B664 (talk) 10:50, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

also maybe make "Islamic Republic" in that sentence not capital "republic"? I know Iran is Islamic Republic of Iran but "Islamic republic" not need be capitalise. 2A02:C7E:2F68:AC00:5833:8A6:8446:B664 (talk) 10:51, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I've made all suggested changes. Thanks for helping spot these! Thebiguglyalien (talk) 16:33, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Iran. (edit · history · last · links · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Please add the following to the literature section in the culture section to make useful changes to the literature section of this article:⬇️ Deconstruction in Persian Language and Literature

The book Kalagh az khoshhali dar post-e-khod nemi gonjeshk written by Reza Ghani Rayeni is an example of Derrida's approach to the problem of language as a phenomenon in which meaning and concept are always postponed, as the writing becomes full of confusion and contradictions in proportion as the expression of truth is postponed. Contrary to being placed in the genre of poetry, this book can be considered a linguistic study that attempts to open a way to enter into topics such as deconstruction in Persian language and literature.^[1][2][3][4]

 Not done - Please format edit requests in "please change x to y" format. estar8806 (talk) ★ 21:38, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now I corrected the request and wrote what changes should be made in the article, is it good now? Kamanipour (talk) 03:59, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have trouble understanding the editing process for such a page.

"Please change Relations between Iran and China is strong

to Relations between Iran and China are strong" Bill.pollard (talk) 23:05, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So what does it have to do with me?! I applied for editing the literature section, not Iran-China relations! Kamanipour (talk) 04:47, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Change Relations between Iran and China is strong economically to Relations between Iran and China are strong economically

(Subject/verb agreement: Relations is the subject, so the verb should be are not is) Bill.pollard (talk) 22:58, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
