Article is a mess[edit]

with all due respect, this article is nonsense http://sify.com/news/international/fullstory.php?id=13267652. Tha uthor does not even know the history. He says that this was built after the fall of Shirvanshahs and at the begining of Iranian-Russian wars. He forgets that there were hundred years in between. Shirvan Shahs fell in the 16th century to the Safavid Empire. Safavid empire existed untill the 18th century. A brief invasion of Afghans was averted by nader Shah in the same century. Iranian-Russian wars began in the 19th century. Yet at one place the artcile says that this building was built in the 18th, at another place in the 19th century. This artcile is a mess.--Babakexorramdin (talk) 16:44, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For your attention: I cited this from the source there. As you could see these were the pushers of the Hindu theory who had misquoted the source.

According to historical sources, before the construction of the Indian Temple Of Fire (Atashgah) in Surakhani at the end of the 17th A.D., the local people also worshipped at this site because of the "seven holes with burning flame". And thus the name "Surakhani" - holes with burning fountains. (Observations from the Ancients Farid Bakharov - Azerbaijan International)

Indians in Azerbaijan[edit]

I have removed the section (see stable version) about Indians in Azerbaijan as it is based on speculative synthesis: "since 80% of India is Hindu, it is likely that at least some of the Indian residents [in Azerbaijan] are Hindus" (emphasis added). The policy on original research notes:

If one reliable source says A, and another reliable source says B, do not join A and B together to imply a conclusion C that is not mentioned by either of the sources.

That is precisely what was done in this article: the separate facts that there are Indians in Azerbaijan and that most Indians are Hindu were joined together to reach a conclusion that is not mentioned in any of the sources. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 21:10, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
