"Turkish war of independence"

To suggest the "Turksih war of independence" only occured in the West of the empire and violence was spared from the south is silly. Christians did at one point make the majority before the war - please read this book [[1]] - their is a reason why they make only a small minority today. Please try to understand that with edits like these [[2]] you will get nowhere in wikipedia. Chaldean 04:02, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions

So let's hear some suggestions here, why did this page get blocked, and what is offending to people at its current stage? Let's talk people :)) Baristarim 08:52, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What happens?

What happened with this page today? Is it the idea to change it into a comprehensive list of publications, in any language, mentioning the city? Btw, the same happened to the Arabic version today. Bertilvidet 14:26, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Predominantly Arabic????

Mardin has always been kurdish since the city was estabilished. The kurds have always formed the majority. please change that — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrkurdistan (talk • contribs) 23:15, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Source for saying Mardin is in Turkish Kurdistan

Konli17, there is no source for your edit saying Mardin is in Turkish Kurdistan. Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 21:28, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is now. Konli17 (talk) 21:58, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The travel site source you added is not the best reference for such claim. Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 03:49, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Geographical (magazine) is from the Royal Geographical Society. Why do you describe it as a "travel site source"? Konli17 (talk) 03:59, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You will need a high calibre scholarly source. This is a serious claim. Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 04:30, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nice try, but there's zero basis for that. Konli17 (talk) 01:08, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
