Merge?
None of the information from the "merge" was added. Boğazköy appears to be about a village, this page is about a district - are these terms interchangeable when in Turkey?--ZayZayEM 05:17, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * No, but the thing is, the info is outdated (from 1911). Boğazköy/Boğazkale is no longer a village, but is much larger, that is why it's now a district. See the Konya article for example. &mdash; Khoikhoi 05:37, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Ah, rightio. Well, no problem with merging then. Just think that the final article should be bigger, not smaller. The information @ Boğazköy isn't a pointless repeat of the Hattusa article. that article is pretty big, it saves a user having to read through all that, and gives them the basic information about this place.--ZayZayEM 06:38, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, but keep in mind that it was back in 1911, it would be best if we could be more up to date. &mdash; Khoikhoi 22:45, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

BTW, "Boghaz Keui" is just an attempt to pronounce the Turkish name before it was written in the Latin script (1928-onwards). It was never officially spelled that in the Ottoman Empire, which used the Ottoman Turkish alphabet at the time. &mdash; Khoikhoi 03:22, 31 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Also, here's some information I found from the former-article (now redirect) Boghazkoy:


 * Boghazkoy is the site of a major Hittite capital called Hattusas, in what is now Turkey, some 100 kilometers from the Black Sea and 150 miles from Ankara. Occupied between about 1600 and 1200 BC, Boghazkoy is most famous for the recovery of over 10,000 cuneiform tablets. The site was discovered in 1832 by Charles Texier, and was subjected to detailed drawings and archaeological excavations throughout the 20th century. The most recent excavations have been conducted by the Deutsche Archäologische Institut (DAI), led by Kurt Bittel, Peter Neve, and, most recently, by Jürgen Seeher.


 * Original entry from Boghazkoy at About.com

name
if this article is to remain separate from Hattusa, it should unambiguosly discuss the town and district, not the archaeological site.

It should also be noted that Boğazköy was renamed to Boğazkale as a result of the archaeological discovery. I am not sure, but I think that the -kale suffix suggests greater importance than the more ignoble -köy suffix. Some reference addressing the renaming would be appreciated. --dab (𒁳) 10:17, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
