Talk:Mardin Province

to categorize or not to categorize?
I would like to know why the category Assyria is allowed while category Kurdistan is being removed? Is there exact boundaries for Assyria? As far as I remember that's the main reason given for removing the Kurdistan category. Heja Helweda 22:47, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Alternative names
This article is related with a province (Mardin Province) not with a city (Mardin). So we mustn't add alternative names of the city of Mardin. We can add alternative names of the province of Mardin with reliable sources. Takabeg (talk) 06:36, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Removal of SOURCED content
Hi you removed sourced content from Gus-Isik indicating that they had no sources for the number. Well, this is Ph.D. thesis from a respected Australian university and is a reliable source focusing on the demographics of the Mardin province. So, I think this is good enough to cite the number. If you still don't like it, then you can simply edit it to attribute it to the author or show that this a finding based on field work and surveys done by Gus-Isik, rather than state census or other form of statistics. You are right that the source is not included immediately after the statement, but the author does refer in the next paragraph to the book of Aydin et al. (2001) (Mardin Asiret-Cemaat-Devlet) specifically on the population and social aspects of Mardin. The 3rd edition of this book is available here.

 * I readded the info, but I do believe a better source is needed. --Semsûrî (talk) 10:50, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, much appreciated. I don't speak Turkish, but I'll see if I can get a translation of the Aydin et al. book, especially that a third edition has just been published. Cheers, Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 21:15, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
