Avicenna should be replaced by ibn Sina, since that is the actual name Hamdsain (talk) 16:23, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:54, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

did you mouse-over the link to Avicenna in the article?

oh, I forgot that Wikipedia is not a reliable source . 2601:542:103:A1F0:90B2:8D74:37FB:4D2A (talk) 03:27, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I propose a change in the description of a picture. Change『Sun (far right) – Earth (far left) and Lunar phases』to "Sun (far right) – Full moon (far left) and other Lunar phases. Earth is missing, it should be placed in the centre of the circle of Lunar phases." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_phase JUDr. David Uhlir (talk) 08:33, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Changed the image caption, using the wording from another article. RudolfRed (talk) 00:44, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

i don not why they call biruni iranian, he is a turk, written books in arabic nothing to do with Iran.its shamfull and a big lie Irani2024 (talk) 17:58, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The name section says his name came from a persian word birun while its totaly a big scandal becasue bituni is the city he was born in him not outskirt. Irani2024 (talk) 19:01, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because its based on WP:RS, unlike your claims. Though it's clear that you don't care about WP:RS, and that despite being named "Irani"2024, you're clearly not one [1]. Have you edited here before? HistoryofIran (talk) 13:06, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Al Biruni is not from Iran. He is just a persian speaker scholar and it is not a reason to be from Iran. Instead he belongs to old Afg ghaznavid empire and his land was Uzbekistan. for more details check below https://www.britannica.com/biography/al-Biruni Subhan Ahmad KDR (talk) 12:03, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
