Vandilism

@NinosDg I suggest you take a look at WP:NPOV, none of the sources state Assyrian, they mention Syriacs. You've also got a history for editing lots of Assyrian related topics wrongly, please take all into consideration before contradicting sources.

I will be reverting it one more time before requesting for comment. User623921 (talk) 14:12, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism & Syriac term.

You must be greatly mistaken. The ethnicity of those who participated are Assyrians, the page has already been reverted in the past for the same type of vandalism. The term Syriac is a linguistic or church related term, not an ethnic one.

The ethnic origin of these “Syriacs” is Assyrian, modern Syriacs/Arameans are Assyrian. The source saying “Syriac” doesn’t matter, as they are in fact ethnic Assyrians regardless. Anyways I’ll provide sources right away so that you’ll stop vandalizing the page. If you continue to do so; I will simply contact an admin to determine this.

I have read the new source you included, and it seems to be the same one from Defense of Azakh. Are you sure this is not cherry-picking? Nearly all sources overwhelmingly use the term "Syriac." For example, the other source you referenced mentions "the massacres against Syriacs in Tur Abdin" and "Syriacs with roots in Turkey" while referring to Assyrians separately.

It does not matter what you think; follow Wikipedia’s guidelines. If the referenced sources do not state "Assyrian," you have no right to vandalize the page by applying an unsourced term. You yourself use "Syriac" in combination with "Aramean," writing "Syriac/Aramean." User623921 (talk) 17:22, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Double articles when Googling

@Asilvering you are the only admin I know, but is there some issues regarding this article? there are two articles for this one when googling, one for Defense and the other Defence of Iwardo, both redirecting to this one Wlaak (talk) 00:35, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hhhhuh. Can't say I've ever seen that before. My guess is that google indexed the page when it was at the original title, then indexed it again after it was moved to the new title, and for whatever reason, their webcrawler didn't pick up on the fact that one of those locations has since been redirected. I don't think there's anything we can do about the google result on our end. At any rate, the redirect functions correctly, so it's not like we've got two identical clone articles, so there's no in-Wikipedia problem to solve here. -- asilvering (talk) 02:30, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
