Talk:Kidarites

Contradictions
I realise this is a complex area, but the Kidarites article seems to directly contradict other articles in Wikipedia, with each page not mentioning the other's position.

Huna people
This article: "The Kidarite (Chinese: Ki-To-Lo) dynasty of the "Ki" clan led the Huna"

Huna people: "... the Hunas conquered Gandhara from the Ki-to-lo (Kidarites) in ca. 475 AD ..."

Hephthalites
This article: "At this point Kidarites became known once more as White Huns."

Hephthalite: "It is therefore assumed that White Huns constituted a second Hunnish wave who entered Bactria early in the fifth century AD, and who seem to have driven the Kidarites into Gandhara."

Huna is basically the name for a vast mix of Central asian hordes who were controled by different political factions of various ethnnic origins at different times. The problem with the Huna People article is that it assumes they were Hephthalites. The Problem with the Hephalites article is it confounds Hephalites (a ruling dynasty) with white huns. Northern Huna were called Black Huna, Southern Huna were called Red Huna, western Huna were called White Huna, and Eastern Huna were called Celestial Huna. at some times the Huna were controlled by Kidarite dynasty, at another by the Hephthalite dynasty. The issue is not really complicated, but most people dealing with the issu do not understand the correct paradigm.82.6.115.62 (talk) 11:33, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes,but the name of Iranian Huna is not from "mix of asian hordes" but from old iranian Hva/Hi etc. "himself",derived from this word is Hvon/Hyon "own,owner".The same thing we see in the ethniс name of Germanic tribe Suebes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wrkan (talk • contribs) 21:09, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Excellent article! Stop to Pan-Turkist Deletion!
Excellent article! These pan-Turkist nationalists even insolent to the extreme! I propose to immediately ban all authors attempt to pan-Turkic rights.Article want to spoil dirtied fill every stupid stuff and then urge to delete it. This is the methods of pan-Turkic provokators. It's from inferiority complex.Their main desire to remake everything and everyone in the Turks.Excellent article. Pan-Turkists want it to arrogate to itself, since they themselves are not able to write anything they are everywhere on Wikipedia so do.They find good article strangers waiting for them when you arrange and point out all the links and authors, then the pressure starts from a take away someone else's article and always write that "they were Turks".Another anything they are not interested — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.172.58.15 (talk) 18:17, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Reliable sources ?
Source [5] is a self-published book written by a guy who is chemical engineer/ Katariya bio - should be removed from the article. Also there is no evidence that Kidarites originated in Altai Mountains ??? Martin Lee Smith (talk) 21:20, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
