Talk:Mustafa II

Comments

huh?

Mustafa II was an Ottoman sultan of late 17th century. Mustafa described in the previous version of this article is an Ottoman heir, who has lived in 16th century. I wrote another article for that second Mustafa and replaced this article with old information User:ErdemTuzun

Sorry about that, this Talk wasn't here yet when I put most of that back in. I'll revert it. -- JohnOwens 10:37 Mar 24, 2003 (UTC)

WHY?

This period of the Ottoman Empire is really important, in my opinion. You can observe the changing world order. Sadly, I'm observing that not enough data had been stored for this important period.

Date of reign

According to my sources, Mustafa had been dethroned on 23 Aug. 1703, and he died on 8 Jan. 1704. The dates in this article (Dec 8 and Dec 22 respectively) have to be reviewed. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 12:27, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Why not change the dates and give the references(English scholarly sources?) for said dates? --Kansas Bear (talk) 18:07, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Book by Salih Gülen

User:Baburhan 1 has cited a quote from a book by Salih Gülen. I can't find much clear information on this person, but he seems to be a writer of popular history in Turkey. Searching for information on him in Turkish didn't give me any information about where he got a Ph.D or what university he is a professor in - it seems as though he isn't one, but I could be wrong. So I'm calling the cited source into question as potentially unreliable, and hoping that the editor who included it can clarify who the author of the book is.

Birthdate is June 2

The article says Mustafa II was born on 6 February 1664 or 5 June 1664. This is wrong.

Turkish Wikipedia says June 2. https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/II._Mustafa

Also, when writing about the siege of Novi Zrin, Evlija Celebi writes that news of the birth of Mustafa came to the army on June 13. Thus, a birth date of June 2 is more plausible. 104.158.48.139 (talk) 14:58, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Mustafa II. date of ascension to the throne

His date of ascension to the throne is CORRECT in this article.Court chronicler Silāḥdār Findiklīlī Meḥmed Āghā in his work Silāḥdār Tārīḫi (Nuṣretnāme) says it is Jumada al-Akhira 21, 1106 A.H. (Hijri).

However in the list of events for January 27 mentioning the event is wrong. Unless it is stated, the date is in Old System (Julian). I again point out the necessity to start giving dates in ONE system - Gregorian, which we use in present times. That will remove the confusion. That, or with every date the system used should be stated (Gregorian, Julian, whatever). Not doing so makes the user doubt the data as credible.

Many dates in Wikipedia are correct, while other dates - like this one - seem to be managed by a group or who who just like to make things inprecise, unclear and confusable. ~2025-35495-87 (talk) 09:34, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
