Of these risings the first ([December 1848]?â"[July 1849]?) took place in Mázandarán?, at the ruined shrine of [Shaykh TabarsI]?, near Bflrfur6sh?, where the BábIs, led by Mullâ Muhammad â~All of Bârfurfish and Mullfi Husayn of Bushrawayh (â the first who believed â), defied the shahâs troops for seven months before they were finally subdued and put to death.
I think that there should be a warning against inserting text with illegible scanos in it. Where do they come from? Does anyone have a hardcopy of the 1911 encyclopedia so that he can fix them?
I do hate it when people just dump, unwikified, unchecked, incorrectly named and OCR error ridden 1911 text into wikipedia expecting others to tidy things after them. It is oftentimes far more difficult to update all this AND modernize pedandic Victorian, often wrong and ultra-biased prose than it is to do some research on the topic and create an article from scratch. Dumping of unimproved 1911 text should be highly discouraged.
