Infobox image

Instead of the mediocre option in the infobox, where the face isn't clearly visible, I recommend this image: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Portrait_of_Mojtaba_Khamenei.jpg What do you think? Can you vote? Acratopotes (talk) 09:28, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

Personally, I think the recommended alternative is better than the current option. Emiya1980 (talk) 10:28, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

Recommendation: Add patrilineal descent section

Since Khamenei is a Seyyed, being a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad through his grandson Hussein, I think it would be useful to add a genealogy/patrilineal descent section (see Aga Khan V article as an example of this). HieronymusFlex (talk) 05:22, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

HieronymusFlex That would be interesting, but it requires some inside knowledge, so maybe you can add such a section once you have made 500 edits and you are extended-confirmed? Friendly, Lova Falk (talk) 07:13, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

If anyone would be willing to add this, here is a source quoting from Professor Nasser Ebrahimi of the Qom Seminary that contains his genealogy:

I get a security warning when I try to open that source. Still, I know nothing, really nothing at all about genealogy, so writing a section from scratch would be too much for me. But HieronymusFlex, if you write the section and make a formal edit request, or tag me, I promise I'll take a good look at it and add it if it is good. Lova Falk (talk) 07:06, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

Had prolonged absence?

In the lead of the article, it says he had a prolonged absence from public view. It should say he has been absent from public view, since he is yet to show up in public. Yavneh (talk) 21:56, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

Fixed Good point, thank you! Lova Falk (talk) 07:09, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

I think there should be at least a mention that it is questioned if he is still alive. GrandPeople44 (talk) 04:52, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

GrandPeople44 we have now: "causing confusion over his fate." How would you like the article to say this? Lova Falk (talk) 08:15, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

Ah I see that now. I saw that in the 2026 part just not in the above body. Though if I were to put it in the top part I'd put a "or was, see (reference) about conflicting reports and prolonged absence." in a number parentheses after the word "is".

But that's optional at this point of course, if you also think it'll help. GrandPeople44 (talk) 10:43, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

I am not in favour of breaking the flow of text by adding "see (reference)", so I won't add that. But thank you anyway for thinking! Lova Falk (talk) 17:29, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

Website update

A website, separate from the previous Supreme Leader’s, has been launched for him recently. It contains all his statements released so far, as well as a biography.

आपने जन्मदिवस को <निधन> likha hai ~2026-43876-17 (talk) 23:17, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

Google translate says: "You wrote <passed away> on your birthday". As far as I can see, we didn't write this in the article. This is the English wikipedia, would you please write in English. Friendly, Lova Falk (talk) 07:01, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

@Lova Falk Holy blackpilling. Alexysun (talk) 08:20, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

@Lova Falk Do you know why they changed the IP user IP address name thing. It used to be that you could geolocate an IP editor. Alexysun (talk) 08:22, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

@Alexysun It used to be that you could geolocate an IP editor. That is exactly why they changed. Protection of IP editors' integrity. Lova Falk (talk) 16:39, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

@Lova Falk Protection of IP editors' integrity? Surely you mean another term than integrity? Alexysun (talk) 05:32, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

@Alexysun Privacy. Also see WP:TAIV EvergreenFir (talk) 06:03, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

@Alexysun A false friend. In Swedish, integritet means having a strong sense of personal boundaries and a right to privacy, and I should not have translated it as integrity. Lova Falk (talk) 07:50, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

How is the infobox image of him from April 2026?

Pretty sure I read in the New York Times that he had to get a prosthetic and also his face needed plastic surgery from after the missile strike. So how is the infobox image of him from April 2026? Alexysun (talk) 08:25, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

Good point. The source of the picture does not give any information about when the picture was taken. I changed the text. Lova Falk (talk) 16:48, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

Thanks. Alexysun (talk) 07:55, 31 August 2026 (UTC)
