Talk:Massacres in Erzurum (1895)

Title

Massacres in Erzurum does not seem to be a common name, and it seems like to be a more common name for the massacres of Turks in Erzurum. And anyway, Massacres in Erzurum may mean any massacre that has taken place there, from the beginning of the city's history. So, I am adding the date on the title. --Seksen (talk) 20:32, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is no reason to change the title. It does not clash with any other article. Nipsonanomhmata ^(Talk) 16:45, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It clashes with the Google Books results. Massacres in Erzurum can mean any massacre in history in Erzurum, and the Google Books results prove that. --Seksen (talk) 17:05, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, for now, we must put {{Notability}} into this article. Takabeg (talk) 10:24, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's impossible to keep as an independent article with existing sources. We'd better merge this artilce to Hamidian massacres. Takabeg (talk) 14:16, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Time ?

The article is completly wrong. All the text is about the massacre from 1915. However, this article is named to be about 1895 massacre at the same place There is 20 years difference — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gonzosft (talk • contribs) 14:54, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

The way the article is cited does not show anything on the sources? For example, "The Parliamentary Debates - Page 39 by Great Britain Parliament, Great Britain". Which parliamentary debate? I suppose there has been many of these. If we do not know what to look at, we cannot prove that the information is correct. "The Silence of God - Page 3 by Robert Anderson" Which publishing house published this book? In which year was it published? Such questions should be answered. Actually, the article is very poorly written and weak. We do not know who the quote belongs to. And an article about "a massacre of tens of thousands of people" is just based on a few news articles. --Seksen (talk) 20:39, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Los Angels Times

There is a contravercy on "TURKISH ATROCITIES" - Los Angeles Times - Jul 26, 1890. How can the Los Angeles Times know a massacre that would occur in the future (1895) ? Takabeg (talk) 10:32, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot see that reference in this article. Nipsonanomhmata ^(Talk) 14:37, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was removed recently by me. Srnec (talk) 14:30, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
