Naming it the Turkish-Hephthalite War presumes a Persian background and is fundamentally ethnocentric. Just because our records of the war come from Persia doesn't mean the Persians were not combatants. TheLateDentarthurdent 06:55, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

The persians were combatants. Look at it this way: we dont call the vietnam war the "vietnam american war", we dont call the Korean war the "North Korea-South Korea-UN war", we dont call the Iraq war "the American-Iraq war" etc....

Its just a name, dont worry so much about it. if your that worried, i suggest you go worry about more well known wars such as the above mentioned and change their names.Khosrow II 15:39, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree with TheLateDentarthurdent: the name is confusing. The article should be moved to The Sassanid-Turkish War. Tājik 12:36, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, not Turkish, but it could be Sassanid Turkic war...but I dont see whats wrong with the title...Khosrow II 20:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Sassanid-Turk Wars would be the best name, I guess. The present name is confusing, because it sounds like a war between Hephthalites and Turks. Tājik 00:09, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

By the way, when you rename it, please also get rid of the "The". Wikipedia article titles normally don't start with a definite article. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:35, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
