Sakartvelo[edit]

I have a general concern on the convention: საქართველო - sakartvelo - "k" in this word is actually "q", how was it decided that it should not be "saqartvelo"? Alsandro 16:53, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Saqartvelo seems to be more correct transliteration. However, Georgian national system of romanization requires to use k. --Kober 17:04, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great job Giv Koberidz from Tbilis, you finnaly achived Portal for Georgia :) and finnaly Bagrationi is a separate article. BTW did you visit Bolshevik occupation museum in Tbilisi? I saw photos of the exibition and they were amazing. Keep up with the great work! Lus Dingl from Canadistan or Canad :) Noxchi Borz 15:43, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Luis, thanks a lot. Yes, I visited this museum - a long-needed one indeed. And its collection is becoming larger. I like your sense of humor, my friend from Canadistan:):)--Kober 13:49, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There was a photo of Cholokhashvili on that exhibition, he is sitting on the chair. I cant find that one anywhere :( Our friend from Ajaristan or Ajar has better sence of humor, like Abkhaz and Ossetians, he cuts Georgian words to make them sound funny. :) Suhum, Batum, Tshinval, Kutais, etc. BTW did you ever ask yourself a question why do abkhaz call themselves “Aps'wa” and call Abkhazia “Apsny”?
Latin word Abkhazia originated from Georgian name Apkhazeti. Do you know where the word Apsny (translation: the country of soul) originated? One of the regions in Adigey. Tell me this, how did it ended up on the shores of the black sea? And why do we call those separatists today "abkhaz" when they are not? Did you know before 1900s there was no single tension between so called "abkhaz" and mingrelians? Where did i get all of this? research my friend :) German universities have best books about Caucasus. Some of them published in 1800s. Sad eh? Very sad. BTW article about Abazin migration to N Caucasus from Abkhazia is a complete falsehood. Now try to explain that to people. That’s why not everyone has abilities for science called history :) All the best qartvelians

. Noxchi Borz 00:39, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Totally agree with you. I requested a citation for that claim in the Abazins article. Medieval Georgian called who-are-now Abkhazs Apsars and Abkhazia was referred to the whole Western Georgia until the term gradually narrowed to denote a region which was largely forested and scarcely inhabited except for a few larger towns populated by Mingrelians and foothills populated by Svans and only in northeast by Abkhaz.
Btw, do you mean a photo depicting Cholokashvili in a French hospital? There was another photo of Cholokashvili and his friend Alexander Sulkhanishvili sitting at the table.--Kober 05:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Kober, yes that article is based on false information or someone’s personal agenda. The one you attached to my user page was the one i was looking for. If you can find better quality one, i would be very grateful. You are correct, the whole Western Georgia was called Abkhazia with the capital in Kutaisi:) Noxchi Borz 13:14, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I will try to get more sources about the modern-day Abkhazs: Roger Rosen might has written something about it. As you know there was a man called Sergo Orjonikidze in Georgian history. I think he is one of the darkest parts of Georgian history and as you know he was the commander of the Red Army which took over Georgia in 1921. As I remember from the history, he has something to do with the migration of northern Caucasusians in Georgia. He granted land to Ossetians (modern day South Ossetia) and I believe he was the one who gave Sochi to Russians and supported the migration of Abkhazs. In addition he gave many territories to Turkey and Azerbaijan,which were located south to Adjara and Kakheti. If you visited the Soviet Occupation museum in Tbilisi you probably saw what people did to the statue of Orjonikidze in 1991. It is also ironic that the person who stopped Orjonikidze from giving out Georgian teritories was Stalin. In addition, the capital od South Ossetia Tskhinvali was called Orjonikidze during the Soviet times.
Oh, now I see The Truth. Orjonikidze moved Abkhaz to Abkhazia and got Tskhinvali named in his honour. One surely has to do lots of research to come up with facts like these ))) Alæxis¿question? 15:49, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I think you were talking about Cholokashvili's picture where he is a fedora hat. I am going to try to get that picture online. By the way my family comes from Matani, Cholokashvili's birthplace. Sosomk 09:30, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This user opposes aggressive separatism in Abkhazia and South Ossetia and supports the unity of the Georgian state.




Sveti-tskhoveli[edit]

[[Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg -->|100px]] Hi. I just wanted let you know that I just update an article about Sveti-tskhoveli Cathedral. The article needs lots of technical work and more pictures of the inerior of the church. Please help me out if you have some pictures.Sosomk 15:29, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Soso I would be very grateful if you can find that photo of Cholokhashvili. You also should create the article on Sameba and place the photo of Sameba on Eastern Orthodox Church article. It’s the second largest (if not more than Sofia) Orthodox Church in the world. The only photos you see on that article is of Russian churches. Ldingley 17:05, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Great job on Svetitskhovrli, Soso. Thanks alot.
Dear Luis, Soso promised to try to get the photo of Cholokashvili. Also I started to work on History of Abkhazia article, but I have not yet put it on wiki. I'll soon post a draft version on User:Kober/Draft so you can you make proper corrections and additions. All the best, --Kober 17:41, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Givi, Thanks for your Canada Day surprise and for helping me to find the photo. It was a great idea to do the article on History of Abkhazia. I'll take a look. All the best. Ldingley 18:27, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

colors and formatting[edit]

The box header colors are too bright and do not fit well with the Wikipedia color scheme. Would you mind more subdued, pastel shades instead? I could make the change and if everyone objects, this could be reversed. best. - Alsandro 16:36, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to make the changes :). Feel free to modify the portal page as you see fit.--Kober 16:51, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

alright then. I made minor realignments to balance the boxes at the bottom of the page; changed the box header color to a shade of light blue as in the wikipedia color scheme (it blends well with the links, I think); and inserted the welcome line into the introduction box header, that's about it. Also the news box photo has a problem in firefox, I think this is a common bug and there is a fix for it (which I have to look up). I couldn't compare how it looks on MSIE though. If any objections or another color is prefered, please let me know. cheers. Alsandro 19:32, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Luis, I did enjoy the image and mood reflected in this :), but we have to remove it as I don't want you to have some problems here. Anyway, thanks a lot for your support. They deserve more! --Kober 19:58, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Kober, im already in problems my dear friend :) Georgia is in a bigger problem of loosing Abkhazia due to their insufficiency and inaction. Western or my support is not enough. It all comes to what Georgia will do in the end. BTW do you know where this apsua hand comes from? Abazgin tribes had a white flag with the red hand in the middle (just like Apsua one). They marched under that flag against Tsarist forces and now ended up on the side of Russians, ironic. Kober who labeled this article Abkhaz people? Ldingley 20:14, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Kober, can you please review Abkhaz people and make corrections? We will fix your link to the History of Abkhazia article on that disputed section. Thanks. Ldingley 01:20, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The pic was hillarious, I think it was awsome. I agree with Luis and I don't see any reasons why should Kober and Alsandero care about the idiots like Bagapsh and his government. If they don't like it, screw them. They are stupid anyway. I don't like many things about thm also. I don't justify any tolerane towards them. Russian media is also full of crap saying: cruel Georgian are oppressing the ethnic minorities. The fact that there is not a single house in Chechnya, which was not bombed by the Russians seems to be ok. Chechen genocide in Russia also seems ok, but making fun of the defacto, thug Abkhazia government is a facism. That does not make any sense. It would be better for Bagapsh to come on his mind.Sosomk 08:14, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't care about Bagapsh and Co and I also found the picture great, but I don't want Luis and the portal page to be subjected to sanctions from admins, who sometimes misuse their powers because they frequently have biased opinions. Luis and I are currently trying to improve the Abkhazia-related articles which are mostly biased and I think this is a better way to let the world know the truth about the Abkhazia tragedy. --Kober 08:31, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You have a point Kober. I hope I did not offend Bagapsh and Co with high sensibilities.:)Sosomk 08:43, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear soso, thanks a lot. We desperately need info on Sameba. Thanks again!Ldingley 17:32, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Here is a huge article in Georgian about Sameba. I started translating it, but I'm not very good at architectural terminology and I need some more time to complete it.--Kober 15:47, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think soso is a qualified person for architectural terminology :) Ldingley 16:10, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Good job, Kober. This article has a good foundation to start with. However, we will have to modify the article little bit to make it good looking. In addition, I believe that the claim that the Serbian cathedral is the biggest Orthodox Church is not true, because I know it for sure that Sameba is the biggest after Hagia Sofia. However, Hagia Sofia is not a christian church after Turks converted it to a mosque. EU parliament asked Turkish government to give the cathedral back to the Christians, but I don't know when it is gonna happen. So, I belive that the statistics that say that the Serbian church is the biggest is definetely not true. I am gonna try to see somebody who works for the press center for the Georgian Patriarchate. I think they can give us good help for the article. We also need the artchitectural plan and lots of pictures and etc. In addition, we all are kind of busy trying to relax in summer and if we can finish during the month of August will be great.regards.Sosomk 10:58, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Georgia (country)[edit]

Dear Friends, As you see there are lots of meaningless resistance around the issue of moving Georgia (country) to Georgia. So should we consider the move from Georgia (country) to Georgia (Sakartvelo). In my opinion it is more correct. At least it follows the constitution of Georgia.Sosomk 10:38, 23 July 2006 (UTC) uuhg. no. let it be the way it is--UltioUltionis (talk) 22:27, 5 April 2008 (UTC),.[reply]

Sukhumi[edit]

Dear Georgians (qartvelebi, ibero-kavkasiel, cousins of Basque, Corsicans and proud sons of kartlos)! Kober, good job on Sukhumi, you were correct, before it looked like a guide book for Russian tourists in 19 century :) We need to improve Georgian-Abkhaz conflict and fix Sameba. Take your time with History of Abkhazia, let me know if you need help. Soso can you help out to complete the Holy Trinity Cathedral, Tbilisi article?

Moving in Abkhazia[edit]

Abkhazian govt in exile is gonna move in Kodori region of Georgia which is the territory of Abkhazia. So, I believe that this is a great move towards finally getting total control over Abkhazia. Great job Kober on govt article and hopefully we will be able to spend our summer holidays in SokhumiSosomk 18:21, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Saint George[edit]

I added Georgia section in Saint George Please, read it and let me know your opinion. Does a folk tale need to be there? Sosomk 11:56, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good job, Soso. I think a tale is an interesting one and there's nothing wrong with it to be a part of the article. What about to create a separate article about St George's cult in Georgia? There's a lot to write about. Thanks, --Kober 12:24, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Georgian Bible[edit]

I think Luis added a section in Georgia's article about religion. I added some more sentences and please see if it is relevant. Sosomk 13:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of the name[edit]

I was just wondering that the section in the Georgia (country) page might not be very accurate. I know it for sure that George is a Greek name and means a "farmer" and Georgia is a "farmland". The eastern world knew Georgians as jurgs or gurgs, indicating farming. My point is that the name Georgia comes from Greeak , not from Persian.Sosomk 11:24, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there are two theories concerning “Georgia.” One you have mentioned about the Greek is version is also part of the theory. In Persian the word "Gorj” means wolf. There can be two explanations why Persians called qartvelians as people of wolf. Vakhtang Gorgasali, when thrusting on the invading Persians, had an interesting helmet made of wolfs head. Many Persian generals called him "Gorj” meaning wolf. Another explanation can be made from the alleged worship of wolf among the qartvelian tribes and upon discovery of this practice, Persians called these people the nation of wolf. Some of the Afghans told me that in their interpretation the word Gurj گرجستان for Georgian means people of beauty or beautiful people. That was probably due to Shah Abbas deportations of physically beautiful youth into Persia and Aghanistan. For example, Afghans call a dog (im not sure what kind of the dog it is) which they conceder beautiful, gurji. But greek version is highly probable. Georgian name had different stages of transformation, ex the name Iberia: Tiberani-Iberani-Iberian-Iverian. In Assyrian: Iberani, In Armenian Virq originated from Iber/Tiberani/Iver. Persian: Gurji-Gurj-Gurjistan, Turkish originated from Persian Gurj, Gurcuse-Gurcustan, Russian also originated from Persian Gurj, Gruzin-Gruziya. Abkhaz originated from Mingrelian Qortu: Қырҭтәыл Qarttwal-Qarttwala, Chechen (belive it or not Chechens in south call Georgians Kists) Kart-Kist, and so on. But I belive the name Georgia did not originate from Persian Gurjistan جورجيا, but more from Greek Γεωργία. Ldingley 17:15, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cross[edit]

Gentleman, see any similarities? Amazing eh? Both nations are Fist/Early Christians. From my trip to S Egypt. Ldingley 18:53, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, it's unbeliveable. Sosomk 18:57, 3 August 2006 (UTC) I would never think that any Cross would be similar to Bolnisi Cross. Sosomk 18:59, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Soso, take a loot at the third one. See the grapes around the cross just above Christ in the cercal? Its typically Georgian style (cross with grapes) but its Coptic :) Actually cross like this was very common among early Christians. Bolnisi Cross of Georgia is one f the earliest Christian symbols of early Christian communities. Ldingley 19:03, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Elimination of Latsabidze Giorgi biography in French Wikipedia[edit]

Hello my name is Adolfo, I have 39 years and I studied piano for 30 years, I'm writing from Spain. My teacher was from Georgia and he spoke of his country's best musician Latsabidze Giorgi, I study their records and know well their work and career. First I want to congratulate you for your good article on Latsabidze in the English Wikipedia. I'm writing because I need your help because Latsabidze's biography has been removed from the French Wikipedia, they have told many lies about Latsabidze, they say they have never won the international competition Rubeinstein of Paris, who has never received the scholarship Carol Hogel, who has never recorded an album etc .... As you can see here:http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion:Giorgi_Latsabidze/Suppression I wrote to administrators to demonstrate the lies they tell: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion_utilisateur:LPLT (August 12) http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion_utilisateur:Wikinade (August 15) After demonstrating that they lie, I have requested that the biography is restored in the French Wikipedia as you can see here:http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipédia:Demande_de_restauration_de_page#Giorgi_Latsabidze (August 17) They've given the reasons as you can see and I have proven to be lies. I need your help and the help of the English Wikipedia, I need people to write to show their disagreement with the decision because only tell lies about Giorgi Latsabidze. I can not and I just need people to agree with me that it is written in the French Wikipedia showing their disagreement.
