Sky is falling

Droughts are ubiquitous on earth. Even England goes through it once in a while, never mind California (regularly). Everytime there is a drought, the Global Warming cult members run to shouting "I told you so!!!". And then when it rains a floods, with all becoming well, they never apologize for crying wolf. So the decade long drought in Western US ended late last year, and now the same ended in Iran with the massive rainfalls ALL over that country (in March and April 2019). Every hole in the ground there is filled to the brim with water, including the ancient salt flats in the Kavir. It is floods and too much water that is the problem in 2019 not shortage of it!

So this article, true to form, shows Lake Urmia at its lowest point in 2014-16, but of course won't bother to show it gradually filling up in 2017-2019. Now it is nearly full. Just check the YouTube for nice new films on the health of the lake and the wildlife returning en masse—Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:1383:a207:223:12ff:fe20:7bc7 (talk) 17:02, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Water crisis in Iran → Water scarcity in Iran – Water crisis to my mind suggests an event like the 1973 oil crisis or the Flint water crisis. The article itself seems to be a more general review of water scarcity in Iran. RoanokeVirginia (talk) 19:20, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Support. Like you said, I think crisis implies an immediate and acute situation, and that's not what the article actually discusses. Erinius (talk) 00:49, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

• Support per nomination and Erinius. The appropriate term is indeed "scarcity", not "crisis". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:00, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Probable AI generated content

Hi -- I tagged this as possible AI generated; in addition to the edits tagged as "AI generated citations]], the large content additions by Razgura display many indicators of LLM use not thoroughly reviewed, and thus it all needs review for tone, hallucinations/copyvio/source-text integrity, etc. Gnomingstuff (talk) 14:48, 9 September 2025 (UTC)

@Razgura: Was any of this content generated by an LLM? Jarble (talk) 05:07, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

These are edits from a long time ago. it’s possible I used an LLM to help me check translations, and as I said, it was a long time ago and I don’t really remember. Razgura (talk) 14:11, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

@Gnomingstuff and Jarble: Razgura was blocked as part of a sockpuppet network that extensively misused LLM-generated content. All of their edits can be reverted per the policy on block evasion. — Newslinger talk 11:28, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
