Talk:Safavid dynasty

The word Kurdish was changed to Azerbaijani. The ethnicity of the dynasty might be a dispute. Biased points of view for nationalism are common. 50.30.176.24 (talk) 23:45, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, we are two premaster students of Middle Eastern Studies at Leiden University (the Netherlands). For a Simple Wikipedia assignment for our History class we would like to add new information and make a couple of changes.

New topics we would like to add: - Pre-Safavid (Origins) - How the Safavid Dynasty emerged from the Safaviyya family - Economy (Silktrade) - Shah Abbas' reform policies and improvement of infrastructure / Armenian merchant role in the trade of silk / competition with the Ottomans - Architecture (Culture) - Significant buildings / Safavid architectural style

We were also thinking about making small adjustments to the introduction section by implementing (parts of) the "Origins" part. Furthermore we want to add short descriptions to the different kings in the "Safavid Shahs of Iran" section (which is now in pop-up style). We have been working on these topics in our sandboxes, you can check them here:

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
