Talk:Diyarbakır Province

Untitled
It reads:"Diyarbakir province has been ruled by Akkadians, Luwians, Hittites, Hurrians, Mittani, Assyria, Urartu, Arameans, Phrygia..." I don't think Diyarbakır had ever been ruled by Luwians or the Phrygians. (Luwians lived at the coastal band and Phrygians lived in the North west Anatolia. ) I'll call the editor.

Alternative names
This article is related with a province (Diyarbakır Province) not with a city (Diyarbakır). So we mustn't add alternative names of the city of Diyarbakır. We can add alternative names of the province of Diyarbakır with reliable sources. Takabeg (talk) 06:38, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Citation Needed
"Since World War I, due the massacres of the Christian population and mass imigration[citation needed]"

I came to this page from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assyrian_Genocide#Massacres_in_the_late_Ottoman_Empire

I would assume the citation on the population should suffice for the citation here as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.245.229.247 (talk) 01:12, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Kurdish name/Assyrian name
I think this is standard practice now. For example see: .. that is official name followed by the local names? --Khodabandeh14 (talk) 21:54, 11 October 2011 (UTC)


 * The article Urmia is related with a city. You must compare with West Azerbaijan Province. This article is related with a province. You can see Diyarbakır. Takabeg (talk) 22:02, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay but see Ardabil province and Kermanshah province. I do not think there is a general wikipedia policy on this  issue..  --Khodabandeh14 (talk) 22:11, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
 * There is no policy on this issue. But the policy Verifiability is clear. P.S. I saw Ardabil Province and Kermanshah Province. There are no alternative names. I don't understand what you want to explain. Takabeg (talk) 22:20, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

What a load of nonsense. You know as well as I do what the real issue is here. The real issue is that Ataturk's constitution claims that Kurds do not exist and all citizens of Turkey are infact ethnic Turks. For years the Turkish regime has been denying the Kurdish identity, but we are not in Turkey and this place is not subjected to the same censorship as Turkey is. However, now you come here to do the work for the regime, attacking Kurdish articles, trying to remove Kurdish names to deny our existance. But guess what? Erdogan doesn't scare me and although I am not a nationalistic Kurd at all, I will not sit and watch as my people are attacked in such manner. I wish there were more Kurds on wiki to keep people like you in check. But for now I will do it. Sad day for you my friend.Kermanshahi (talk) 19:47, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

No one claims that Kurds do not exist. Diyarbakır Province is not Amed, Diyarbakır City is Amed; you should know better! Province and city are completely different things, Diyarbakır City (Amed in Kurdish) is the administrative center of Diyarbakır Province. Simple as that. Khutuck (talk) 20:06, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
