Dates

[edit]

This was a real person; see below address for proof. The dates seem wrong probably because the author is using a different calendar, might be Zoroastrian. But obviously, the article's grammar is terrible.

Thank you. I gathered that he was a real person, but the idea that the calendar might be different completely escaped my mind.
And yes, this article is sorely in need of a good clean-up. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 07:35, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think it might be Islamic calendar dates (current year is 1413). But WP:MOSNUM says:

So this article needs to give his dates in Gregorian form, to avoid the confusion which has clearly been caused by the use of the Islamic calendar. PamD (talk) 07:42, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

New possible source

[edit]

I found a website which has a biography of Tavallali here. It gives a different year for his birth (1917) and isn't quite 'encyclopedic.' However, it is the most informative English-language source I've found. Should I go ahead and expand the article with information from here? Further input would be appreciated.
