Hello, I'm Technopat. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Technopat (talk) 14:06, 14 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello
 * I am not sure who is in charge of content at Wikipedia. In the interest of transparency for which Wikipedia strives, I want to express concern about Wikipedia's widespread reference to the Eastern Roman Empire as the Byzantine Empire. Wikipedia is about citations and  I am not aware of any credible historical CITATION that the Eastern Roman Empire was  EVER called the Byzantine Empire.
 * 1. The Byzantines never conquered the Eastern Roman Empire, so at what point was that name changed and on what basis?
 * 2. The only Byzantines that existed at that time were the citizens of the City of Byzantium which Constantine renamed Constantinople.
 * 3. The citizens of the Eastern Roman Empire never referred to themselves as Byzantines and would be very surprised to hear that 1200 years later we are calling them that.
 * Wikipedia seems to be making references to a well-known empire by renaming it without proper citation. Can you shed some light on this so that I can see where you are coming from? In the absence of a credible HISTORICAL citation, I suggest you call the Eastern Roman Empire by that name only. And that in the interest of transparency (for which Wikipedia strives) any reference to the Byzantine Empire should be deleted or explained each time it is used in reference to the Eastern Roman Empire.
 * Thank you.
