User talk:Khirurg: Difference between revisions

Could you point me out any other empire or state that ruled all of Turkey for 200 years, or even close to it, had a considerable historical impact, and that's not listed in the lede?.. Especially as all other pre-Turkic history in some way, whether culturally or ethnicity-wise has been mentioned. - LouisAragon (talk) 16:50, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hellenisation page

Hi, I have notice that you have undone my revisions on the Hellenisation section on the Alexander the Great page, and when you undid th revision gave the reason POV pushing. However I must disagree as while you undid the revision you kept the sources, and it was I that added those courses to support what I had written. Thus, what is currently written is not supported by any of the sources, or any scholarship. Furthermore, I fail to see how I was pushing my point of view, I was entirely fair and was not trying to detract from any side, I was simply reflecting modern scholarship on the matter and thus was not pushing my point of view. Indeed what you have replaced my revision with is entirely inaccurate, again I can understand your concern that my edit was perhaps an instance of historical revisionism; however it is not. I was simply correcting the section due to the addition of the mount Meru bit, keeping the original sources which are in no way relevant even contradicting the point made about mount Meru. Indeed, on the issue of mount Meru that is traditional Hindu "cosmology" (as it was describing the universe, not the solar system) and was not accepted beyond explaining the metaphysical universe, in traditional Indian astronomy/astrology; however, the use of a heliocentric planetary model with elliptical orbits was favored until the arrival of the Ptolemaic model which proved very popular as the arithmetic was simpler and yielded equally accurate results with the relatively inaccurate data available at the time. I will refrain from making any more edits until we resolve this issue, please do contact me soon as i want to settle this amiably and with no further disagreements. Looking forward to hearing from you.Bodha2 (talk) 18:47, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Closure at WP:AE

Please see this notice which I added at Talk:Turco-Albanians. Though the enforcement request against you was closed with no action, the moral of the story for all parties seems obvious. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 19:10, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for January 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Europe, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Theodosius and Holy League (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

attempt to intimidate

I made a single revert on the article and you came running to my talk page slapping it with a "3RR" warning. A bit hasty, especially since you've also made at least one revert. I can't avoid the impression you are trying to "win" this disagreement by intimidation rather than merit.Volunteer Marek (talk) 07:34, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh no, you haven't just made "a single revert". You actually have three reverts in the last 25-26 hours. Athenean (talk) 07:36, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Revert Greece intro

Hi Athenean. User Yozerehs removed a section in the Greece introduction stating that "Greece is a democratic and developed country with an advanced high-income economy, a high quality of life and a very high standard of living". The reason for that was there is no citation. Obviously the citations exist (HDI, GDP per capita, Newsweek's best countries, all of these are found in the developed country article) and in my opinion no citation is needed since the links provide enough reference material. In any case can you please revert ? Thanks. 188.4.171.253 (talk) 16:39, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

to this and this. Look, you are making bad faith assumptions on article talk page. This is not the place. If you really have concerns of this nature, please report/discuss them on appropriate administrative noticeboards. Thanks, My very best wishes (talk) 21:53, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I know the subject, but did not edit this page for years. My comment was a kind of explanation: I only edit BLP pages about people who are interesting to me. Well, that was not entirely true. I also edit BLP pages when I see that someone else edits them clearly inappropriately - as in this case. My very best wishes (talk) 13:55, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
