Edit request from 65.119.25.226, 25 April 2010

Location: In the first sentence, please replace “Georgia” with “Armenia” because the Mountain is located near the border with Iran and Armenia, not Georgia.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made.--ℳøℕø 00:33, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done (diff). As charming as the location given by the Turkish Ministry of Culture & Tourism is ("near the border with Iran and Georgia, between..."), the article should read "Iran and Armenia". A quick look at any map of the region (including the one illustrating this very article) & Britannica’s entry on Mount Ararat should suffice as reliable sources. — Thank you for mentioning this detail, 65.119.25.226. - Best, Ev (talk) 15:39, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Ev. It feels good to have people like yourself who place facts, fairness and the truth above everything else and are willing to make a stand to preserve these all important virtues.

EDIT REQUEST:

Turkish name of it should be written before the Armenian one, since it's in Turkey. Like this, Mount Ararat (Turkish: Ağrı Dağı; Armenian: Մասիս, Արարատ ... Otherwise show me another example like this, make me believe it's not about "Turkey". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.254.186.122 (talk) 19:28, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

bible ?

"The Bible says that Noah's ark landed on the mountains of Ararat. This does not refer to any specific mountain or peak, but rather a mountain range within the region of Ararat, which was the name of an ancient proto-Armenian kingdom also known as Urartu."

have you ever know that quran is much more older than the bible ? and the bible is only "human creation " ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.82.94.84 (talk) 05:33, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would suspect that many of these citations would fall afoul of WP:SELFPUB. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk(P) 09:55, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
