Modern places listed in infoboxes?
Greetings all; I would like to raise an issue for centralized discussion. The user @Zenzyyx has been prolifically placing modern placenames in infoboxes for historical figures. For example, explaining that Constantinople is now Istanbul. I disagree with this practice, as does @Paradise Chronicle. I believe that the unadorned historical placename is quite informative enough, particularly in the presence of wikilinks, and to add modern placenames is both an anachronism and an unwelcome cluttering in a place where brevity is essential.

Hi, thanks for posting this in the relevant place

As I have mentioned before,I have a hard time understanding why it concerns a few people so much that the modern location of the place a person was born/died in is mentioned in their infoboxes. This has been done since the start of Wikipedia and is supported by most Wikipedians - as evidenced by all the "modern-day, present-day, now" etc. in the infoboxes of people. For example, no one is saying that a person's a Turk because the place they were born in turns out to be located in modern-day Turkey. It is simply an informative addition - an interesting and much-needed one, which may lead one to research more on a person and subsequently, e.g. find out where their resting place is. I definitely do not see an issue to be exaggerated here as mentioning the modern location of a place's name which is not used anymore has essentially been procedure since Wikipedia started. Thanks. zenzyyx_ (talk) 20:55, 14 July 2022 (UTC)


 * @Zenzyyx, what you claim no-one says, is what Turkey really claimed and scientifically wanted to prove. That Greeks had a Turkish origin was state policy during the times of Atatürk and was taught in school. Academics who opposed the theory lost their jobs. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 21:36, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

By no one I meant that people putting the modern location of old places in infoboxes doesn't suggest that a person is (in this case) a Turk, but that they were born in a place that is now controlled by Turkey.

There seems to be quite a lot of animosity towards Turks here. I bet you wouldn't be saying anything if Turkey wasn't mentioned. zenzyyx_ (talk) 21:42, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Damalas
User:Xiotiscxii has been on a recent spree adding information on the supposed history of the Greek noble house Damalas, which apparently enjoyed a ruling position on the island of Chios in Byzantine times and intermarried with the imperial dynasties. This seems more like a modern forged family history (in the style of many of those that appear in the Succession to the Byzantine Empire article), especially given that many of the sources used are lackluster (a thesis, 19th-century books) and the family name does not appear in academic works on Byzantium.

I hope that someone more knowledgeable than me could look into these articles and edits to either verify that anything of it is true or debunk and remove it. Rheskouporis (talk) 09:52, 10 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm entirely unsure as to where these allegations come from, as my work has a considerable assortment of pertinent sources. Though by all means, I encourage anyone to go over my research as I have full faith in its veracity. Xiotiscxii (talk) 19:37, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Justinian (novel)


The article Justinian (novel) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "almost 9 years later, I do not believe this meets the notability guidelines for a book. Although the author is often discussed and interviewed, this pen name and novel has not been covered as far as I can tell except by a few blogs."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
