I dont know how is this possible but these are 2 entries with the same name. One with Arabic and the other one with Ottoman Turkish and Persian. Heydari (talk|contibs) 09:07, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * We've had similar conversations before. They're different because the Arabic one uses &#x064a; and the Persian one uses &#x06CC;, which look identical word-internally. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 21:08, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Can you link me the conversation? Thanks. Heydari (talk|contibs) 09:37, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * , most recently Grease pit/2017/September. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 09:55, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Another one is here. As a native speaker and Arabic contributor, you should better because such misspellings (ی instead of ي or ک instead of ك in an Arabic term) are hard to track! :). If you're using an Arabic keyboard, then you won't make such mistakes but it's possible when you copy/paste and don't notice. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 10:07, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, you're not a native Arabic speaker but the point is important, anyway. We also follow strict spelling rules, writing out hamza when needed, dots over ة|tāʾ marbūṭa and dots under the final ي|yāʾ, which makes, among other things standard Arabic spellings different from Persian standards and often Arabic dialects. --Anatoli T.

 * Thanks!., ک - ك and ي - ى differences are obvious. But in this case they both use ي so i was bewildered for a moment :D. I'm using Arabic keyboard so that wouldn't be a problem for me. Heydari (talk|contibs) 11:09, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The differences in ک - ك and ي - ى are obvious but not in all positions within a word. As was mentioned above and  only LOOK identically but they use different letters - ي and ى. Terms  and  also look the same, don't they (especially if the same fonts are used!)? Not so obvious either.--Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 11:40, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah! I perfectly understand now (especially because the example). And yes, i use the same font. Heydari (talk|contibs) 11:59, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
