Syriac place names

As you appear to know the Syriac language, per your recent edit in the Rojava article, could you add the Syriac names to more of the towns in the "population centers" table in that article? -- 2A1ZA (talk) 20:04, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Syriac

As you appear to be the only editor of the Rojava article who has a first hand knowledge of Syriac language issues, I would like to thank you here as well for your respective edits. One curious question: Concerning the spoken Neo-Aramaic languages, is the information true that Assyrians in Rojava (Gozarto) almost exclusively speak "Turoyo" (and not "Assyrian" or "Chaldean")? -- 2A1ZA (talk) 11:40, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks! Happy to help :) Yeah the majority of Assyrians/Syriacs in Gozarto speak Turoyo/Surayt, a lot of them are descendants from refugees from Tur Abdin (Turkey), especially in Qamishlo, Ras al Ayn, Hasakah, Derik, Amuda, Qabre Hewore and the smaller Syriac villages near the Turkish border. Though skills vary and many have switched over partially or fully to Arabic. In Tell Tamer and in the Khabour Valley though, the predominant Neo-Aramaic language is various dialects of Assyrian Neo-Aramaic, since most descend from refugees from the Hakkari areas in Turkey and from around Simele in Iraq. This Syriac population is smaller compared to the Turoyo-speaking population though. Chaldean Neo-Aramaic is pretty rare in Syria I believe, there are followers of the Chaldean Church in Gozarto but Chaldean speakers are not necessary members of the Chaldean church. The Syriacs that lived in Tabqa were a mixture of both people from Northeastern Gozarto and the Khabour Valley so both varieties existed there. If you're interested in learning more about the Assyrians-Syriacs of Northern Syria I recommend these articles; http://www.joshualandis.com/blog/the-assyrians-of-syria-history-and-prospets-by-mardean-isaac/, http://www.aina.org/releases/20130802050632.htm AntonSamuel (talk) 12:22, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

I am looking

File:Pictures of bas reliefs with Hebrew.jpg

for someone to translate what I believe to be Hebrew on a frame around a bas relief (actually two) and I think your user page suggest to you do. Are you interested? Can I send you the pictures? Do you need the background story? Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 18:11, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

@Carptrash: Sure, I can give it a go! Can't promise anything though since Hebrew isn't my native language. And yeah, the background story might help. AntonSamuel (talk) 18:28, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Background. These two reliefs, that I take to be David & Ruth, were done on the Jewish Community Center building in Detroit Michigan USA in the 1950s. Since then an awning has been add that for some reason had to be in the reliefs. I am wondering what the Hebrew (?) text says. Thanks for taking a look. Oh yes, basically this is being done for a project outside wikipedia. about the life and works of Corrado Parducci. Carptrash (talk) 20:30, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

@Carptrash: The first one is from Psalm 133, I've heard it many times in many renditions. "Hine ma tov uma nayim shevet achim gam yachad" -
הנה מה טוב ומה נעים שבת אחים גם יחד - "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brothers (also) to dwell together!" Here is a link to it, it's the first verse on the page: http://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/16354/jewish/Chapter-133.htm

Seems like the second one consists of snippets from Proverbs 31:25; עוז והדר לבושה - "Oz Ve'Hadar Lebusha" - "Strength and beauty/splendor is her clothing" and 31:26; ותורת חסד על לשונה - "Ve'Torat Chesed Al Leshona" - "And the instruction of kindness is on her tongue" - You can find translations here if you scroll down to 25 and 26: http://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/16402/jewish/Chapter-31.htm, also more detailed description of the individual meaning of the words here: http://biblehub.com/lexicon/proverbs/31-25.htm, http://biblehub.com/lexicon/proverbs/31-26.htm AntonSamuel (talk) 21:07, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

I don't know enough about the subject matter to know if this is correct. However, similar past edits were reverted, and the current edits also make claims beyond what is in the cited sources.

Hi! I've reverted his changes now. In some places he has only changed the name from Assyrian -> Syriac and changed it to Chaldean if there is a Chaldean Catholic or Chaldean Neo-Aramaic speaking majority in the town/area. It's clear he has a biased purpose for this and in some cases he has removed any historical mention of Assyrians and removed entire sections. Assyrian is still the catch-all name for Christian Northeastern Neo-Aramaic speakers, the Chaldean identity represents a minority and is not totally parallell to linguistic and religious lines. AntonSamuel (talk) 10:42, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

This type of editing seems to be a recurring problem with IP users. Would it be worth trying to get all pages relating to modern-day Assyrians semi-protected so that only auto-confirmed users could edit them? LacrimosaDiesIlla (talk) 14:36, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, I think that might be warranted, I just reverted another bunch of biased edits. I'm not an administrator though but raise the issue with one of them and I'm sure they'll agree! AntonSamuel (talk) 17:26, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

User:AntonSamuel you seem obsessed with Chaldeans who are our own ethnic group. You keep filling up our Wikipedia pages with false information and propaganda labeling us as Assyrians. Seems like until we file hate charges against you, you will refuse to stop. You are mentally sick, Anton, and need help. Chaldeans are not ethnic Assyrians, this is propaganda being pushed by Assyrian nationalists such as User:AntonSamuel and User:LacrimosaDiesilla. Chaldeans are the majority of Iraqi Christians. Assyrians are a very small minority in Iraq and overall, the Assyrian population is no more than 350,000. While Chaldeans are 1.5 million. Users such as User:AntonSamuel are the ones causing problems by falsely filling and changing all Chaldean pages to refer to us as Assyrians, which is false propaganda. The "ethnic Assyrian" identity was created by the British Anglican Church in the late 19th century in Urmia, Iran and Hakkari, Turkey and does not correlate to the true history of Neo-Aramaic speakers.

All I'm doing is reversing biased POV edits that aren't based on facts but historical revisionism and nationalist sentiment. No reliable statistics show that there are currently 1.5 million Chaldean Christians in Iraq. I harbor no hate towards those that identify as Chaldeans or any ethnic group and I regret to inform you that there are no charges that can be filed for disagreements on Wikipedia. The scientific and historical consensus is that Chaldeans are part of the Assyrian continuity. While "Assyrian" is a modern national identity just as "Swedish", "Russian", "Iraqi" or "Israeli", it is the majority identification among Syriac Christians as I understand it, while some identify as Syriacs, Chaldeans and Arameans or a combination of them. Because of this naming dispute the consensus on Wikipedia is that the name "Assyrians" should be used both for simplification and consistency purposes, unless it's an article related to a country/entity that officially uses an inclusive name such as "Syriac-Assyrians" or "Syriacs/Assyrian/Chaldeans" and so on. If you wish to dispute this, you are welcome to join a constructive debate on Wikipedia, but as long as you keep making unilateral biased edits and remove any mention of the word "Assyrian" on articles, I and others will keep on reverting these edits.

Hello

Hi Anton. I have some concerns regarding such removals [1]. Of course, the term "Assyrian" is an umbrella term for all Eastern Neo-Aramaic speakers, there is nothing wrong with that. However, censoring "Syriac" and using simply "Assyrian" is not constructive. I am partly Syro-Aramean living in Turkey (now using VPN, because Erdogan blocked Wikipedia). Syro-Arameans have different culture, clothes, etc. For example, Iraqi Assyrians celebrate Akitu, we do not. Things like that. Language and ethnogenesis are also not the same at all. Assyrian Neo-Aramaic has Akkadian substratum, Turoyo and other Syro-Aramean dialects do not. They are purely Aramean. I am against removing "Assyrian" and using only "Syriac". HOWEVER, I am also against censoring "Syriac"!! It is aggressive and not constructive. Syriac is commonly used for describing Syro-Arameans living in Tur Abdin. Even in Turkey, where the Tur Abdin is located, we are known as "Süryani" which means "Syriac". It is common name for those from Tur Abdin. "Assyrian" is also shared identity as well. So, to compromise, can we use both, instead of pushing only one term? "Syriac/Assyrian" is a good term and reflects both Assyrian and Syro-Aramean identities. (The term "Assyrian" includes many sub-groups, e.g. Chaldeans. The readers must know that those from Tur Abdin and North Syria are not Chaldeans, etc.) 107.190.38.35 (talk) 16:59, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi! I agree, I expanded the name to Syriac-Assyrian in the Rojava article since most Syriac-Assyrians in Syria are Surayt speakers and many of these identify as Syriac/Aramean. The naming and historical controversy is pretty complex and I can't say I know of any solution/consensus that has been found that most agree to. Here in Sweden where I live the official politically correct term is "Assyrier/Syrianer" - Assyrians/Syriacs and in the US it's "Assyrian/Chaldean/Syriacs". Since the name "Syriac" mostly also represents those who identify as Aramean, and because (from what I've gathered) most of Chaldean Catholics and Chaldean Neo-Aramaic speakers identify as Assyrian or Chaldo-Assyrians since the division is mostly religious and (more or less) dialectal rather than historical, ethnic or linguistic I think Syriac-Assyrian is appropriate to include. I suppose there is a point that it's cumbersome because of the length of the term to use it everytime you refer to the Syriac-Assyrian people so I'll change back to Syriac-Assyrian in the demographic section and in the introduction while leaving most references in the text as "Assyrian" since it is still the catch-all name, it might turn into a debate on the talk page though, so we'll see what happens. AntonSamuel (talk) 17:19, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Okay friend, thank you. I have made some minor corrections for consistency. Regards. 107.190.38.35 (talk) 17:43, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Are you Syro-Aramean? Just wondering. 107.190.38.35 (talk) 17:44, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

No, just really interested in the region and its languages and history :) Do you live in Tur Abdin? From what I understand most Syriacs in Turkey have moved to Istanbul, and there's only about 3000 left in Midyat, Mardin and the surrounding villages? AntonSamuel (talk) 17:54, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

I am living in Antioch (Hatay). Father is Arab Christian from Antioch, mother is Aramean from Mardin. Many Syriacs/Arameans moved to Istanbul as well as Europe. Some moved to Syria, Lebanon, etc. Fayrouz's family was from Mardin. 107.190.38.35 (talk) 17:57, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Really sigh [2]. Can you find sources that mention "Syriac/Assyrians" "Aramean", "Syro-Aramean", etc. Because it is his only excuse to remove the content. Also there is no consensus on the talk page. Also I think the article should be moved to "Democratic Federation of Northern Syria". Because according to their constitution, they OFFICALLY define themselves as such. Also, the area has been expanded and many of the places are not considered within the pre-Syrian War definition of Rojava. For example Manbij, Raqqa,... They are not considered as Rojava. So it is misleading to mention them under the Rojava. Even PYD/YPG/SDF does not define the area as Rojava anymore. So can you please move the page? 107.190.38.35 (talk) 12:50, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

I restored the page and replied to him on the Rojava Talk page. I would also like to see the article renamed, however there has been a discussion about that earlier and while many editors sympathize with a change, "Rojava" is used far more in the media and on the web than "Democratic Federation of Northern Syria", so per Wikipedias common name policy keeping the name "Rojava" is appropriate. However this is of course up for debate since the name may be used less and less in the future or may be argued to be non-neutral. AntonSamuel (talk) 18:16, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Thank you friend. Because some of the sources the user cited are also confusing. For example Encylopedia of the World's minorities by Carl Skutsch states “The modern group known as the Assyrians traditionally incorporated those affiliated with the Assyrian Chruch of the East (or simply church of the East). At the dawn of Christianity, these people lived in Mesopotamia (an area modern-day Iraq)...Among a portion of Assyians there has also developed a nationalistic type sentiment, one that includes other Syriac-speaking peoples (Jacobites/Syrian Orthodox, Syrian Catholics, Chaldeans and Maronites) under the definition of Assyrian”. It is confusing and using "Syriac/Assyrian" is better for NPOV. 70.26.205.84 (talk) 19:39, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Manbij area

Hi, I understand that you let you lead by the 2017 summer announcements for the DFNS subdivision system. They indeed 'delayed' mentioning the newly liberated area's to ease possible Turkisch outrage. But in all new more recent and ohter sources Manbij area ruling members of the DFNS call Manbij part of Shabha Canton/region and the de facto representation is also present in this way. Newer sources overrule olders ones saying 'not yet'. I'll hope you'll understand. We need to report the most recent and de facto reality, not an outdated communication prudence of the DFNS.--Niele~enwiki (talk) 23:00, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

@Niele~enwiki: Hi! I'm a bit unsure about this, the sources you mentioned about the DFNS leaders and Rudaw claiming Manbij being part of Shabha canton and Afrin Region might be accurate in the sense that the region was originally created as a fourth autonomous region alongside Jazira, Kobani and Afrin, but was later reorganized into a subordinate canton to Afrin region, while Manbij is under the rule of "Manbij Legislative Council" and "Manbij Military Council". Since Manbij wasn't included in the elections or mentioned in the announcements about the new administrative regions that casts further doubt upon the situation. If there are official DFNS sources that show that the Manbij Legislative Council is subordinate to Shabha Canton and/or Afrin Region, or that it is planned in the future to be so, then I don't mind that it states as such. But I think further debate on the talk pages is warranted so that the issue is cleared up. I believe the wiki pages about the regions and the maps should represent official DFNS policy and if it conflicts with the de facto situation, then that should be explained.

Assyrian tribes

Thank you for your contributions. But please only add Assyrian villages or towns that have substantial Assyrian inhabitants in the list of Assyrian settlements page. Do not add ancient Assyrian tribes that have little or Assyrians in present day. You added a number of Western Assyrian settlements in Turkey that had no links. If they are ancient tribes associated with Suroyos, please feel free to relocate them in the List of Assyrian tribes page where they would belong. No, it's not controversial. It's just that there should be a clear distinction between the two articles as they convey a different subject matter, but people have conflated them by adding tribes and cities in both articles, confusing a lot of readers. But I don't blame them, because the titles are similar. I'd suggest a change in their titles for this to be resolved. ~ Meganesia (talk) 13:45, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Yeah it could be prudent to seperate currently inhabited and uninhabited/historical villages into two articles. The villages you recently removed from Mardin province however are still inhabited according to their wiki pages, which are all sourced properly, so I undid that edit. AntonSamuel (talk) 12:10, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

I see, and thanks for cooperating (glad to see people making a distinction between the two articles). But one thing, you added a list of uninhabited villages in the list of Assyrian tribes. I doubt that they're ancient Assyrian tribes (at least, those noted as being inhabited from the 1950s, though the others listed below may be). They are probably a modern, uninhabited resettlement of (mostly) Sirnak/Hakkari Assyrians who immigrated there in the 1950s to escape discrimination and torment under Ottoman Turks. But, I'm not too certain anyway as Amediya had ancient Assyrian settlement. I'm guessing it's safe to keep them anyway. We'll have to see. Meganesia (talk) 12:10, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Turks in Egypt

Hi Anton, I have temporarily removed your contribution to the history section until you provide full citations. The footnotes are unclear. What is "Clifford 2013", "Cummins 2011", "Asbridge 2010"? These are not in the bibliography. Your "population estimates" have also been removed - the CIA does not say that there are 400,000 Egyptian Turks - and Joshua Project is also unreliable. Kind regards, O.celebi (talk) 21:23, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

My edits were mostly meant to restore content that was removed earlier, so I used the same sources that were provided then. Asbridge and Clifford are included in the bibliography if you check. The article had a number of issues which you partially adressed through your latest edits. An issue that remains is that the higher estimates of 1.5 million and 25 million Turks in Egypt are treated as the most plausible estimates, which if looking closer at the sources provided and other claims made by the same authors for Turkish populations in other Middle Eastern countries (for example Syria) cannot be considered to be neutral or plausible. I have no intention of doing original research or tilting the article in the other way, I only want the article at its core based on objective facts. I believe that some of the content you removed about estimates from the 1800's illuminates what the probable estimates could be now and since it is properly sourced it would be proper that it remains on the page. AntonSamuel (talk) 23:28, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for further addressing the issues. O.celebi (talk) 13:25, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Assyrian people

Assyrian vs. Syrian naming controversy First of all the medievals and other people when calling the assyrians syriacs, didnt mean aramean. Sure, the assyrians were both called by and outside the ethnic group aramean and assyrian, maybe you should state that the syriac word mean assyrian? We now know the word syrian means assyrian, cineköy stone, were ashur meant sur, in the cineköy stone, with two different languages with the same meaning. By the way, the source he gives you said the exact same thing, that assur meant sur, assyrians meant syrians. Check the source he gave you from aina. Please change aramean to assyrian.

It isnt linguistically, historically true that we are "arameans", we are assyrians, we come from northern mesopotamia (assyria) and we speak east aramaic, the official language of the assyrian empire! While the melkites, the real arameans, speak western aramaic, the closets language to what jesus spoke and the closets language to the aramean language. West aramaic was developed in syria, the heartland of aram, while the east aramaic was developed in mesopotamia. We must also not forget that the chaldeans and persians spoke aramaic, does it make them arameans then? Also we are not genetically related to syrians (arameans), we are more related to marsh arabs in southern iraq, which is considered to be descendants of the sumerians, all is written in genetics of assyrians in wikipedia. Please change aramean to assyrian.

@Ec13grah: Hi! I've looked through the content again, and there were two passages relevant to the YPJ that I've re-added in modified form. Much of the content you added however was mainly related to Öcalans ideological ideas and the general YPG/J-Turkey conflict which are covered on other pages such as Democratic Federation of Northern Syria, Democratic Union Party (Syria), Abdullah Öcalan, Rojava conflict, Syrian Civil War, Foreign relations of the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria and so on. If there is something that you've added that you see missing on these pages, feel free to make contributions on them, however the information should relate mainly to the page in question, which I would argue it does not for the YPJ page. Also consider that Wikipedia is a neutral encyclopedia and neutral language and neutral sources should be utilized as much as possible. AntonSamuel (talk) 01:02, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

.

First source are from Adam H Becker theologian not historian, however when I read link, he didnt even mention to chaldean or assyrian. the second source there is no link, when I search him in google, I discovered that Hannibal Travis is an lawyer (also not historian), when I read his link, he talk about genocide on Armenian, Greeks, and Assyrian (Nestorians) he didnt mention that chaldean are assyrian as you claim in article. The third source is from assyrian political propaganda journal, which is not neutral. all article is bias on Assyrian political parties propaganda and need to redit one by one --FPP (talk) 10:11, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Again Hannibal Travis is an lawyer not historian, history isnt his proffession, The other source is from Assyrian journal which not neutral, how about If I past links from quran said christians beleive in 3 gods? did wikipedia accept this source?. at this case I can tons of sources from proffession histrians confirm that modern hve nothing to do with ancient assyrian, begun from Henry Layard, John Joseph and Behnam Abu alsoof and this are more accurable than this sources that you mentioned --FPP (talk) 10:42, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

If you want debate to real identity you should undo my edits at Chaldean Catholics as good intention, and stop fell it with political propaganda words. your standard contradict with many International legislation, like Iraqi constitiution article 125 which recognize Chaldean as ethnic, and also from United Nations, European Union, and from few months ago form your Australian government. --FPP (talk) 13:16, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

@IntercontinentalEmpire: It's quite simple - you need to check if there is a clear consensus already established that contradicts controversial changes you wish to make on the talk page of that page first, it's useful to ping previous authors of the page for their input. You also seem to change population figures a lot in quite a dubious way - seemingly randomly without providing any (new) sources substantiating the changes.

Help needed

Hello, I see that you have worked actively on the Yazidis page and that you have greatly improved it. I think a vandal is intentionally inserting incorrect or problematic information into the article. You may be able to remove the information "Armenian Apostolic Church, Evangelicalism and Islam" from the Infobox and paste it into the "Religion" section instead. A small sentence such as "A minority of Yazidis converted to Armenian Apostolic Church, Evangelicalism and Islam." is quite sufficient in the section "Religion". I would be very grateful if you could do this. Friendly greetings 89.135.141.23 (talk) 14:11, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
