This article should perhaps explain what persian miniature is in the first section. I just read half the article and my best guess is that it is a style of painting, but I'm not sure of that. This article is linked to from the Wikipedia main page today (10/12/06), and it is written with the assumption that readers already know what persian miniature is. If this has something to do with illuminated manuscripts, it should say so in the article, and the links to miniature should perhaps go to that article instead of the disambiguation page.00962799154743
fair point - done, but not by an expert. Johnbod 15:50, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
this article is just copying its info from another site. Needs to be rewritten. 64.105.34.202 07:07, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Which site? Johnbod 10:53, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
a note of thanks to user 207.69.139.147, who added back some of the content from the history of the persian miniature that was not plagiarized. it was a good constructive series of edits, and kept the spirit of not just stealing other people's work to 'plump up' WP. thanks.

The title of the page is Persian miniature. But what makes this miniatures Persian? The article about Ottoman miniature is named Ottoman miniature and not Turkish miniature. But this miniature style in Persia was developed under the Mongol and Timurid periods 13th-16th century and not in the time of Ancient Persia,so this title is confusing.
Why are these miniatures not named Ilkhanid, Timurid or Safavid miniatures? This is closer to the reality than naming these miniatures Persian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DragonTiger23 ( talk • contribs) 16:01, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
here, until I find the ref: " Islamic angels are depicted as wearing the tight robes of northern Chinese style, though earlier ones can resemble Christian ones (as illustrated above), influenced by Armenian miniatures and other sources." Johnbod ( talk) 04:02, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
I have reverted these again. If you think "Central Asia" is vague, what about "Eastern"? That could well mean Japanese. There is evidence that Chinese, or other East Asian, artists were brought into Persia by the Mongols, as one might expect. That is why it is significant to say that no surviving work is clearly by one. In fact some modern Muslims claim that images they don't like, depicting Muhammad etc, were done by foreign non-Muslim artists, but again the evidence is against this. Please don't make cavalier edits, removing referenced material, to articles you don't know much about. Johnbod ( talk) 11:27, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
This large amount of new material is only referenced to the Iranian Wikipedia, & perhaps represents a translation of material there. It has no links, an unusual layout & is not very easy to read. I've moved it lower down. Also it uses American English, where the rest of the article uses British, and AH dates without always specifying the era. Johnbod ( talk) 16:55, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
