FM-2030 Returns?[edit]

"Sadly he missed his goal by 30 years."...or has he? By having himself stored in a cryogenic state hasn't he gained the possibility of returning in 2030?

Putting aside the fact that it's doubtful that people who were preversed using current cryonic technology will ever be revived, I don't think it would proper to add such an argument in an encyclopedic article. --Loremaster 20:56, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

While your claim is original research, it's true that it wouldn't be proper to add something like that to wikipedia. Wikipedia should be objective: a wikipedia page shouldn't be able to be "sad"... Ran4 (talk) 02:16, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

POV?[edit]

"FM-2030's optimism about the potential for human development has not remained as defensible, either." The end of this article seems to veer a bit far from NPOV. I'd be grateful if the author might tweak that a little bit (don't feel qualified to do that myself just now). Also, might the "upwing" political position deserve its own article? --Ithaqua 08:36, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adopted name citation is in NPR link[edit]

The adopted name part can be heard in the NPR link at the bottom . I'm not sure how to cite that. --Rajah 05:04, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Simply follow the Wikipedia:Citing sources guidelines. --Loremaster 20:57, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The audio for that link is no longer offered. I was interested to know WHAT YEAR he changed his name. --174.114.108.250 (talk) 19:55, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life/Family[edit]

Is it possible to get some background information on him? I was checking some sites and they have some bio info. I think it would help give insight into who it was. He apparently was an extensive traveler beyond his childhood. Anywya, I think the article is too focused on his work and not enough on who he was as an individual.--DannyBoy7783 15:19, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I still think that! :) --DannyBoy7783 (talk) 03:23, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1948 Olympics[edit]

There seems to be some confusion about which sports he did at the 1948 Olympics. The NY Times [1] says he did basketball and wrestling, but he is not listed as a wrestler in Iran at the 1948 Summer Olympics#Wrestling, though he is listed as a basketball player. Also, I removed a reference that said he was a fencer at the 1948 Olympics, since Iran did not have a fencing team at that Olympics. But given the contradictory information, someone who knows more about his past may want to look into this. Gap9551 (talk) 02:33, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
