[edit] Kings of Burgundy

Just to note that I created a disambiguation page Rudolph of Burgundy and stub articles Rudolph I, King of Burgundy, Rudolph II, King of Burgundy and Rudolph III, King of Burgundy a few weeks back and directed existing links into them - and expanded my article on Rudolph I earlier today without having realised that you had created different and fuller pages since. Any preferences on how the pages should be merged? PWilkinson 23:41, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Middle Ages project

Hi _ I enjoyed your First Battle of Langensalza, well written and informative. It was posted on the Middle Ages project list of new articles. Feel free to post any articles you create or edit for others who may be interested, or to join the group. Stbalbach 02:32, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] U-P

Hey, this is Y2A. You should put a link to U-P on the user page to try and attract members to the board. Later. JerseyDevil 07:56, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

I didn't vandalize your user page. Kylie did. I made the mistake of putting the link I found of your user page (after libertarian told me about it) on U-P and he must have came and vandalized it. My bad. :( Jersey Devil 18:49, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

ok ok i admit I y2a did in fact vsndalize it Jersey Devil 20:49, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Y2A

I don't know what Y2A did to upset you, and what you put on your userpage is your business in my opinion, but I think you can rise above it and not write personal attacks on it. At least in theory we are here to write an encyclopaedia, not engage in fighting, so maybe you'd consider removing the ugly comment and making your userpage a more positive reflection of what you're about.

[edit] Welcome from Penn State

Hi Ro4444, There are a number of Penn State Wikipedians around here, and I want to invite you to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Pennsylvania_State_University if you are interested. Hope to see you around, GChriss 19:01, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Middle Ages did not call younger members of royal families as princes and princesses

please check the ongoing discussion about "princess" title on Talk:Margaret of Connaught - it will have implications that many medieval women will soon get the courtesy prefix "princess" before their names in article names. ObRoy 21:40, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chupani

Hello! Yes the page exists but sometimes WP has software problem which makes it look like article doesn't exist. Usually making a small edit here or there will fix it which I have now done. It should be showing now. Khorshid 09:42, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anush Tegin

Regarding your edit in Anush Tigin Gharchai:

I do not know where you see "Iranian pride" in that article (keeping aside the fact that User:Baristarim is trying to impose the modern Turkish name of the Khwarezm Shahs on the article, although it is totally irrelevant - that would rather qualify for Pan-Turkism), but your change leaves aside other opinions, such as the works of Buniyatov and Gosudarstvo (Khorezmshahov - Anushteginidov, original Russian tr.) who question Anush Tegin's Qipchaq or Qarluq origin. Though I agree with you that a Turkic origin is most likely (and has the better references in scholarly works, such as the Encyclopaedia Iranica), the name "Anush" which is clearly Zoroastrian (meaning "eternal") and is related to "Anushirvan" (" eternal soul", title of Khosrau I) does raise some questions: why was a Turkic slave of the 12th century in central Asia given a Zorostrian name?! The word "Tigin" is Turkic and means "prince" ... it was later added to his name.

Tājik 12:31, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I usually go with authoritative scholarly sources, in this case with Encyclopaedia Iranica. Since it says that Anushtigin was a Turk, I won't object. As for Jalal ud-Din: the early Khwarizm Shahs may have had a Turkish look (meaning Mongoloid features), but their language was certainly Persian. Of course, many Central Asians of that time also knew Turkic tongues. But Arabic and Persian had a special status - these two languages were a mark of pride and reflected someones education and social status. That's the reason why Persian dialects in Central Asia are known as Dari which means "language of the kings".
As for Anush Tegin being a "Shah": no, he was not. He was only a governour who ruled in the name of Sultan Baykyaruq. After his death, his son Muhammad was appointed governour (to be precise: after Ekinchi) ... he became the first "Shah of Khwarizm" after the collapse of Seljuqid power in Central Asia.
