Information on Turkish Wikipedia[edit]

I have looked at and put in the information that exists in Turkish Wikipoedia at the appropriate places.Noyder (talk) 02:06, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The term Jewess is usually considered derogatory; would it be possible simply to say that she was Jewish? Or, better yet, to either leave out this information or give some reason why it matters? Histprof 20:27, 27 June 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Histprof (talk • contribs)

It is definitely relevant to say that she was Jewish - the former religion and origin of all the valide sultans are stated because it is historically relevant, and there should not be special rules for the Jewish ones. But you can change Jewess to Jewish without asking--Aciram (talk) 11:13, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ethnicity[edit]

Just wanted to note that there seems to be a concensus that she was Greek. Another claim is Venetian. Sources:

Greek.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]
Venetian.^[9]

It is pointless to ref-bomb the article, so I've tidied it.--Zoupan 16:15, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
