I was wondering if anybody knew the proper pronouncation of "Azadi"

Āzādī--Zereshk 16:04, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest the pages be merged under the title "Azadi Tower", and we can say there that: "Azadi Tower is located in Azadi Squre..." etc.

Any takers?--Zereshk 16:04, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. Aucaman^Talk 01:29, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article claims that the design i.e., number and shape of marble blocks, was designed by computer. Really? In 1969?? --46.51.44.171 (talk) 05:37, 4 October 2015 (UTC)r[reply]

According to the website of Hossein Amanat, the designer of the tower, computers were used『to define its com­plex woven sur­faces,』it was apparently a new technology. I've edited the article, with citations, to reflect this. AJORDAN (talk) 21:19, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The official name of the tower has been the Azadi Tower since 1979. But someone under the name of @IRFakeFreeAN hijacked both the English and Persian Wikipedia pages and did a page-move vandalism in both versions and renamed both versions into the "Shahyad Tower" (the former name before the Iranian Revolution). I've just renamed the English Wikipedia page back and removed any indications that the "Shahyad Tower" is the current name in both the English and Persian Wikipedia pages, but I can't move the Persian Wikipedia page.

I'm neutral in this page, but please follow the official (after 1979) name! Also please forward this to the Persian Wikipedia admins, as well as maybe Wikidata as well, since I can't move the Persian Wikipedia page (I might not be autoconfirmed yet in the Persian Wikipedia).
