Talk:Pyotr Bagration

Move to Pyotr Ivanovich Bagration
We need to replace the orphaned stub Pyotr Ivanovich Bagration with this article, which to pity goes under wrong name as sugested by transliteration rules. DmitryKo 14:54, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Done. violet/riga (t) 23:34, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, that was a mistake. It isn't a transliterated name. It was a translated one. — Llywelyn II   22:30, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Russian pronunciation

 * In Russian, it would be pronounced bah-GRAH-tee-awn

Isn't it bah-grah-tee-AWN? RJ CG (talk) 17:34, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Not based on the IPA we currently have. Is it wrong? — Llywelyn II   20:57, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Georgian
.... and in Georgian it would be BAGRATIONI. So what's your point ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.196.88.26 (talk) 10:39, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

"Bagration" is probably a greek root word
The word "Bagration" is probably a greek-root word, comes from "pangration" or in greek script "pagkration", from words "pan" means all and "kratos" means power. When, in greek, a noun makes an adjective, one form is the adding of an "i"* after the theme of the word (e.g. ouranos - ouranios οὐρανός οὐράνιος: heaven - heavenly). So, the word "pagkration" means "allmighty", something like the address "your majesty" for the western kings. The address "pangratie" (vocative case) is reasonable for the members of a royal family.

"Pangration" is also aν ancient sport like wrestling in which the fighter gives all his power to win.

(the other form is the adding of "ik" -latin: "ic", e.g. basis - basic) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.107.197.214 (talk) 05:14, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Seems off-topic. The etymology of the dynastic name belongs at the dynasty's article, not here. — Llywelyn II   21:03, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Russian name
Any reason why Russian names are written against any convention but in infinitive phonetically like Pyotr while he is Peter, and that name is not pronounced in Russian as Pyotr but... say in phrase like Petra Bagrationa (of Peter Bagration) as Peter or Pehter or Pieter, now are standards established by either ISO or national conventions like the US Library of Congress transliteration table, why would Wikipedia use its own, crazy way or mutilating Russian names? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.25.192.142 (talk) 14:37, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Take it up with and . I'm not going to wade through that mess, but if it supports Petr or Pëtr instead of Pyotr, by all means come back and apply for getting the page moved.


 * That said, his is probably "Peter" rather than anything Russian at all. —  Llywelyn II   21:03, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Reference #3 in Vietnamese
Not being a reader of Vietnamese, I guess it was a misplacement. Could the original write re-check, correct or explain why such a reference ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.176.120.156 (talk) 15:58, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

UPDATE 2014
So I've decided to add numerous sections including his decicive involvment in some of the campaigns, wars, battles that are listed. I would be more than pleased if any other wikipedians assisted me and all the others who participate, with more information about Bagration's involvments in any of the wars he participated, with reference, source, quotes etc, the style that's being used right now.

Lede
I note the tag saying that the lede may not be summarizing the article adequately. It is clear that the first section, titled 'Biography' does the job of a lede, and an edited-down version of this section ought to replace the current lede. I may attend to it, if no-one else does. Valetude (talk) 11:21, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll note that "prince" and "prominent general" does adequately summarize the article and the tag is inappropriate. You're more than welcome to flesh it out, though.


 * If you're planning an overhaul of the page, the place to start would be its misplacement. "Prince Peter Bagration" is twice as common as "Prince Pyotr Bagration" in scholarly sources and much more common elsewhere. No one actually uses "Petre Bagrationi" or "Pyotr Ivanovich Bagration" in English. — Llywelyn II   21:10, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Move
In fact, yes, the numbers are so strong the name should just be moved back to where it started at Peter Bagration. — Llywelyn II   22:30, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Genealogy
I'm not saying the Genealogy section was a bad idea or couldn't work, but it doesn't need to be a page-long table if the only information being provided is a single list of his ancestors. There's also no need for the generic "Kartli Branch" to start with the great-great-great-great-grandfathers when his importance to Levan and Levan's importance to him is minimal. If others would like to keep it, I suggest shortening it to three or four generations and fleshing out the rest of the family tree. If that's too large or unwieldy to fit here, add the details to the Kartli dynasty family tree page.

Table commented out below:

Sources for future article expansion
Pending a scholarly expert adopting the page, annotating and curating the list, it's pretty worthless to just randomly list volumes about Bagration. Kindly restore these as they're used to source statements in the article: — Llywelyn II   22:49, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

English pronunciation?
The temptation is to treat it like an English noun. Presumably that's wrong. 99.229.34.174 (talk) 20:05, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Why Delete the Russian Spelling?
Do I even need to explain how profoundly stupid it is to delete the Russian spelling of one of the most famous generals in the Russian Empire? And this is obviously politically motivated trolling, and this nonsense only started in the past 18 months. The USA has famous Native American soldiers who are fluent in their tribal language. Is Wikipedia going to delete all the English spellings of their names too? That's literally how stupid this is. - Ian 31.135.78.18 (talk) 19:53, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
