Tai peoples,...

I am informing you that the fanatic tai-only user has striked again. He is currently reverting your edits and claim that you are aswell, like many other non-related users, a sockpuppet... 213.162.72.195 (talk) 21:54, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

• GAB is closing that the sockpuppet investigation proposed by that Tai-only user (most likely User:Bokworm8899). Still, I decide not to revert their edits for fear of starting an edit war.Erminwin (talk) 06:54, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

remember Wiki's tenant: Verifiability, Not Truth

Sometimes the Reliable Sources may seem questionable, but we can't just drive-by change article text without a Reliable Source to back it up. HammerFilmFan (talk) 04:32, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

• @HammerFilmFan: The "Reliable Source" John Chambers's "The Devil's Horsemen" did not identify the "Saxins" (p. 48, 49) / "Saxin tribes" (p. 31) with "East Saxons".Erminwin (talk) 09:52, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

better read the footnotes more closely - the revamping of this article was done in collaboration with 2 professors who authored books on the Mongols, besides my own colleagues at Duke

Do you have an RS that has a better definition of "Saxins"? This article has been vandalized by drive-by IP's from Russia, etc., since we re-vamped it a few years ago - I am not sure without digging through the history of where the definition was obtained-several other history buffs have tried to fix the article when this happened, and it's possible a reference was lost-Chambers does indeed not directly define who they were-this may have come from email correspondence from Morgan, or Trumble. I am all in favor of improving this article. I'm going to search through my various sources in the meantime. Thanks. HammerFilmFan (talk) 20:36, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

• @HammerFilmFan: Hudud al-'Alam 'The Regions of the World' - A Persian Geography 372 A.H. (982 AD), by V. V. Minorsky & C. E. Bosworth would be such a RS. Minorsky wrote that: "The first element of Sārigh-sh.n is evidently Turkish [sic] sarigh "yellow" [...] I am strongly inclined that the name *Sarigh-shin is the original form of the enigmatic [...] Saqsin, as the geographer of Mongol times called a town situated by a mighty river and usually quoted along with the Volga Bulghar, cf. Bartold Saķsīn in EI." (italic in original)

Non-correlation between statement and sources

Hi, the recent sock-edits, including the whole sequence in the leading part #Origins, about the proto-turkic homeland simply isn’t backed up by the sources. There is not one sentence in the given references. You have to check the sources before you allow abusive sockcontent. However, considering the context of that „Transeurasian theory“, an absolute minority view among linguists, these studies belong to the article Altaic languages. Yours thankfully —Lithuist (talk) 08:46, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
