I am finding an interesting pattern regarding the history of Iranian people on Wikipedia. Despite both genetic and archeological finds, various writers of Iranian background are for unknown purposes deciding to collect all the ancient peoples of Central Asia under the rubric of Iranian peoples. Sarmatians, Scythians, Sakas, etc., are all considered Iranian origin by these writers. Its a wonder that the Goths aren't considered Iranian at this point. This is a vast disservice to Wikipedia in that it undermines the online encyclopedia's standard of scholarship. I urge the moderators and writers of Wikipedia to look more thoroughly into this issue.
