Talk:Harpoot

Being removed, no citation.

However, this claim seems highly unlikely since the castle was occupied by Çubukoğulları in 1085, by Artukoğulları in 1112, and by Seljuks of Rum in 1234. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.19.101.242 (talk) 14:33, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Spelling in the title

What's with the title of the article? The spelling should be Harput, not Harpoot. 87.74.155.195 (talk) 01:10, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Recent edits regarding Simeon of Poland's works

Regarding this and this edit.

• This is a 17th-century primary source in Turkish. It's inherently unreliable. Still,
• The source uses "Süryânî", which makes it an ethnic/racial label i.e. Assyrians and not Süryanice in reference to the Syriac language.
• It doesn't call them Syriac Orthodox. They could belong to any Syriac Christian denomination. In fact, 17th century Amida, whose population Simeon describes here, had a significant Chaldean Catholic population, and their patriarch resided there.

For this reason the recent edits seem inapplicable. Hogshine (talk) 16:15, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
