Hi Chaldean! Can you translate my name in what language you know please, and then post it on my userpage in the section with all the different languages. I would be very grateful if you do (if you know another language apart from English and the ones on my userpage please feel free to post it on) P.S. all th translations are in alpahbetical order so when you add one please put it in alpahbetical order according to the language.

[edit] Assyrian page

Do you want to help or just complain. I understand you don't like the article but work with me on this. What is wrong that needs to be changed? I know the article is a mess but unless we start it from scratch it will stay that way. What is your major complaint about it?

[edit] Chaldean Archbishop of Siirt

Hi, Chaldean! I've been reading some scraps of history that mention that Mar Addai Scher (I'm not sure on the spelling of that last name), the Chaldean Archbishop of Siirt, was killed by the Turks in 1915. I don't know if you can find a source to confirm this story. In addition to it, there are rumours that the Turks destoyed hundreds of ancient manuscript in the archbishop's library. I've found an old catalogue that mentions some of the manuscripts, but wanted to know if anyone could confirm whether they were destroyed, or if there is hope they were saved. Thanks. — Gareth Hughes 22:35, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article on Al-

Hi. I wonder if you wouldn't mind taking a look at the article above, and expanding it further, or adding any sources appropriate for our English Wikipedia. I've already built it from a one-sentence stub using the sum total of my knowledge on the subject. Specifically, someone raised questions about the etymology of Semitic definite articles that I just couldn't answer. So I'm trying to recruit other Wikipedians with Arabic/linguistic expertise, such as yourself. Thanks very much! --Fsotrain09 17:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Assyrian homeland page.

Hi, I saw you created the page "Assyrian homeland." I don't know too much about this subject. Does the Assyrian homeland differ from Assyria? Thanks, Andrew Levine 13:02, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Points

Well, ive been doing abit of poking around (by the way im Croatian , Roman Catholic) and it seems to me that from the 6th - 9th century BC the Babylonians entered into the Neo-Babylonian or Chaldean Age. They were fightong against Assyrians and such. Particularly when the Neo-Babylonians, with the assistance of the Medes sacked Ninveh. When you say thesame, do you mean historically, or after this did they integrate

[edit] Aramaeans

By the way, I did not write that sentence about Aramaeans in the Syriacs article. I just believe that the Aramaeans need to be mentioned in the article. We can argue about the way it should be presented, but it definitely needs to be there. --Benne ['bɛnə] _(talk) 05:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Syrians as in SURAYE

That's what you translate Suraya to, in English it's Syrian. In a historical context SYRIAN refers to our people and not the country of Syria. In turn it means Assyrian. I'm not talking about today's political situation because at the end of the day (100 years from now) there may be no country of Syria however our SYRIA, the Christian homeland refers to the lands once held by Assyria so in turn that is another name for our people. King Legit

http://www.nineveh.com/WhoAreTheAssyrians.html That even states that "All Syriacs are Assyrian." Kulla Suraye'la Aturaye... SYRIACS MEANS SURAYAH and SYRIACS IS USED IN PLACE OF SYRIAN TO AVOID CONFUSION WITH THE COUNTRY.סרגון יוחנא 16:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aramaeans

Perhaps not as much as in Germany or Holland, but also among the Süryani in Turkey there is a certain awareness of their Aramaean heritage. I have here a master thesis based on anthropological research among the Syriac Orthodox community in Istanbul, which states that even though most of the nineteen people interviewed identify themselves solely as Syriac Orthodox, there are a few that consider themselves Aramaeans, and a few that called themselves Assyrians, and even one that mixed those two names together. Next to that, there is a book published in Turkish Türkiye'nin Süryanileri, though based on a rather minimal survey (50 respondents, mostly Syriac Catholics), which shows the same trend: Süryani 92%, Asuri 2%, Arami 2%, Other 2%, No answer 2%.

And even though I can not use my own experiences because that would amount to original research, I can say that this is something I recognise. I have personally talked to people, both Syriac Orthodox and Protestants, who consider themselves Aramaeans ethnically, others who think of themselves as Assyrians, and with people who call themselves ܣܘܪܝܝܐ or Süryani. --Benne ['bɛnə] _(talk) 14:10, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Assyrian language

Shlama Chaldean, please be aware that Assyrian language is a disambiguation page. When you're changing a name, ask yourself whether the change will make it more clear to the reader. Also, ancient Assyrians (speaking their own dialect of Akkadian) didn't use the Syriac alphabet. Basima rabba, --334 13:30, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I see what you were trying to do, but I think Wikipedia has doesn't like to have internal links to disambiguation pages. Usually, if a word is the same in both Assyrian and Chaldean Neo-Aramaic, I just put Syriac (which often is the case). Also, is Nohadra Akkadian? I know it's definitely in modern Assyrian and Chaldean (hence "Syriac"). If that's the case, I think it would be a good idea to have both Akkadian and Syriac; Akkadian being written in the Latin alphabet and Syriac in the Syriac alphabet with a transliteration (ancient Assyrians used Cuneiform, not Syriac). --334 17:28, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bakhdida

Chaldean, have you seen the Bakhdida article? A user called Mousiness (talk • contribs) deleted a large portion of the article and then changed:

Are you sure you have permission from this website? There is also a possibility that he's not associated with them, but just noticed that it was copied. Regardless, I suggest you talk with him about it, because copyright on Wikipedia can be a very serious thing. —Khoikhoi 20:08, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chaldeans are ethnically NOT assyrian

How could you go against your own dignity and pride because you are a "wannabe" you have runied and spread false rumours amongst wikipedians stating that Chaldeans are "ethnically assyrian". We are a seperate nation, we did not fall under the Assyrian Empire. To state that we are Chaldean is very foolish. Your under anti-chaldean influence and you have gone against your people. I amongst many other Chaldeans do NOT classify ourselves as being ethnically Assyrian. We should however tend to respect them and treat them fairly. Please dont judge others according to your own beliefs. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Andrew.hermiz (talk • contribs) 08:28, 4 September 2006.

It looks like your buddy, "Chaldean Warrior" above recently created the Chaldean's article? What do you think of it? ;-) —Khoikhoi 01:30, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I did as a matter of fact. :p I don't want to know what would happen to him if he went to Iraq... Anyways, what are we going to do about his article? AFDing it wouldn't work because the topic is valid in itself. Should we PROD it instead? (see Azraqi (religion) for an example) If that doesn't work the best option would just be to redirect it to Assyrian people. "Chaldean Warrior" made me laugh though. —Khoikhoi 04:43, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Hmmmm, I'm not sure about that one, try asking one of the copyright people on Wikipedia, like Jkelly, Carnildo or perhaps Lupo. As for the song, sure, I'd love to hear it. What language is it in? Do they still live in Iraq? —Khoikhoi 05:03, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Wow, that's really interesting. Most of them are probably in Israel now. You can email me the song, I have to go now. Later. :) —Khoikhoi 05:18, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. Regarding Moldova, it depends who you ask. The unionists in both Romania and Moldova are more pro-Western and anti-Russian, and of course those who are against unificaion can tend to be the opposite, but not always. BTW, keep in mind that Moldova is only 75.8% Moldovan. I belive there was also a referendum in 1994, see that article as well. In conclusion, not everyone in Moldova is a unionist so Moldova as a whole is not considered "anti-Russian". Hope that helped. —Khoikhoi 04:37, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Khonee I didn't think that mattered as the introduction says "Places that have or had ethnic Assyrian minorities or exile communities". The Greek article has Babylon, Berlin, Victoria, Damascus, and so on. They also seem to have names of countries (Brazil, Germany, the U.S., etc.). --334 20:20, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BTW

I was reading the Kazan article, and I noticed that there is an Assyrian community living there. It says:

Group of Assurs also live in Kazan. By tradition, they work at shoe repairing. Their community lives a closely guarded life: and they do not mix with other communities.

I was wondering, do you know anything about their history and how they found their way to Tatarstan? —Khoikhoi 03:38, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

It was apparently Untifler (a Tatar user) who added it back in 2004. BTW, Tatarstan is nowhere near Krasnoyarsk Krai. ;-) —Khoikhoi 03:48, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that is weird. It's also mentioned at Assyrian diaspora#Russia. —Khoikhoi 03:52, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sumail

Hi, I see that you just changed the entry for August 7 from:

• 1933 - The Iraqi Government slaughtered over 7,000 Christian Assyrians in the village of Sumail.

to:

• 1933 - The Iraqi Government slaughtered over 3,000 Assyrians Christian in the village of Sumail. The day becomes Assyrian Mardyr's day.

Can you review the Sumail article? Right now, it says:

"More than 7,000 Assyrians died during the 1933 massacre, most of the dead came from the village of Sumail."

I see when you created it on January 9, the number was 5,000, then you changed it to 3,000, then 2,000, and finally on August 7, User:A2raya07 changed it from 2,000 to 7,000. Are there any official citations we can add to the article to confirm the number? Can you review the Sumail article to see if it's still accurate?

[edit] The weirdo comparison

What is the logic underlying your equation of "Ottoman Muslims" to "Nazi Germans"??? Is there any academic proof out there to back this similarity up, aside from some extremely racist weirdo logical systems? In a similar way, can we also not equate Assyrians with the Nazis? Or with the regime of Pol Pot? Or the Assyrian Catholic Church with devil-worshippers? They would fall in to the same bag of equations with the Ottoman Muslim-Nazi German one. Please try to be more constructive with your approach to the matters at hand, equating Muslims of Ottoman Empire with the Nazis is not quite a way of doing that, just fyi.Baristarim 12:08, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Don't pay attention to him, Chaldean. -- Clevelander 13:06, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Excuse me? A comparison between Ottoman Muslims and Nazi Germans is simply racist.. I hope that you will be able to at least see that instead of approving such a racist statement. Baristarim 13:33, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

The fact of the matter is that the death of ottoman civilian muslims is not that significant to have its own page.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Iraq2006.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Iraq2006.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
