`   0) You are correct that Azerbaijani is not thought in all levels of education but this is the case with all of Iran's language except the official language.  This is no different than France, Germany or etc. which teach one official language.  Or in Turkey, they medium of education is Turkish and in the republic of Azerbaijan, it is not Talysh, Lezgin and etc.  So this cannot be considered ``Oppression``. This point is already mentioned in the article.  As per control over ``Azeri language broadcast``, the government controls  broadcast in all languages including Persian, English, Kurdish, Arabic etc.  This is not a particular case to Azeris. Now again, lets describe WP:RS.    A) If BBC report has no author or non-reliable for controversial topic, then it is not reliable.  Simple as that: see WP:RS.  BBC does not meet WP:NPOV as it is a government broadcasted organization on controversial topics with no authors.  Here is WP:RS: ````When taking information from opinion pieces, the identity of the author may be a strong factor in determining reliability. The opinions of specialists and recognized experts are more likely to be reliable and to reflect a significant viewpoint than the opinions of others. When using opinion pieces it is necessary to attribute the information to the author, and not to assert it as fact.`` ``   So I consider that issue as finished. Because news-reports (if the author is reliable) needs to be attributed to the author, if there is no author, then fortget it. Self-promotion from a website itself does not make it a reliable.  Unless you show who the author of the report is, and show he is reliable, then it is a moot point.  It is not worth discussing and the source can easily be removed due to authorless source.  + In his book called ``Iran's political, demographic, and economic vulnerabilities`` http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=J0J99-Tf-_sC&pg;=PA54&dq;=iranian+azeris&hl;=en&ei;=0HaTTZulJNOw8QOEvNizBA&sa;=X&oi;=book_result&ct;=result&resnum;=3&ved;=0CDkQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q;=iranian%20azeris&f;=false he says:         B) James Mihanan does not even have a Ph.D.  Note: ``He is a free lance writer and reseracher who is currently living in Barcelona``.   Websites that self-promote authors (say good stuff about them) are not reliable if the reviews are not in independent journal pulications.  Plus as I showed you what he states contradicts a Full Professor with Ph.D. from UCLA.  And it is factually wrong, ``Azeri`` was never official in 1979 to begin with for to lose official status.  Free lance writer without a Ph.D. making a false claim that Azeri was official before 1979.  Sorry, I do not see how that is reliable.  + ``The demands of Iran's Azeri community remain relatively modest focusing on the expansion of cultural freedoms such as local control over Azeri-language broadcasting, greater say in local government and promotion of Azeri langauge at all levels of education, including university instruction.``         C) Masoume price, her own website mentions she has no academic position: ``She is also a freelance consultant on issues related to Iranian culture and advices and produces material with respect to legal issues related to Iranians in cases such as divorce, child custody and other compensations.``.  Self-promotion through websites is not reliable criterion for an author. Authors can write anything on their webpage.  Actually Professor. William Beeman has clearly stated Chehregani is a separatist (contradicting Masoume Price).  Again Masoume Price has no academic position.  + This clearly suggests that Azeris are not cultraly free as the article claims them to be. They have no control over the Azeri-language broadcasting television which is directed by the government. They do not have the amount of say they want to in the local government. To add yo this Azeri is not used in all levels of education. This also supports Mr Minahan about the points he made cocnerning the use of Azeri in the education system.     -     - D) In Wikipedia, the strongest sources win. Nikki R. Keddie is considered Western source as she is a full professor in UCLA. Her ethnic origin does not matter as she is part of a major Western university as a Full Professor (not a lecturer but Full professor).   Wikipedia is not concerned about ethnic origins of authors but rather their reliability which I assess based on their academic credentials and affiliation with major universities.  Specially Full Professor triumphs over say a free-lance writer.    There is nothing to challenge her reliability. Your point about MESA has no bearing on it. MESA is a big organization, and she did not create it. Her resume shows she is a Full professor . Mihanan does not
