Merger proposal

Clearly this article and Sufids are duplicates, but I'm not sure which name the article should use. There doesn't seem to be any rule about whether articles like this should be titled "So-and-sos" (like Timurids and Samanids) or "So-and-so dynasty" (like Safavid dynasty and Ghurid Dynasty). Either way, the Sufid article has more and better-written material, so most of the content in the merged article should come from there. A. Parrot (talk) 20:38, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Given this state of affairs, there's no point in my conducting a copy edit of this article at this time. // Macwhiz (talk) 04:22, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I merged the material to this page since it seems to get somewhat more attention than Sufids; however, Sufids was much better-written and better-referenced, and mostly overlapped the material that was here before. Therefore, nearly everything that is on this page now came from Sufids. I kept a few categories, an interwiki link, and the list of rulers from the original page. Because I don't know where the list of rulers came from, I also kept the one source in the original article that wasn't used in Sufids.

There were two bits of information in the original article that aren't in the Sufids text: that Husain Sufi was "Turkicized" despite being a member of the Onggirat, and that in establishing his rule over Urgench he was taking advantage of the turmoil in the Golden Horde after the murder of Berdi Beg. I left them out because they were uncited, and I was worried that by including them I would make it look like they were cited to the sources in the Sufids text. Plus, there's a lot of confusion about the identities of the White, Blue, and Golden Hordes, so I can't tell who owned what before Husain started taking over. I just thought I would note those two things for when someone decides to do more thorough work on the article. A. Parrot (talk) 00:47, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Year 136 ?

It was a short lived dynasty OK ? But, in the introductory paragraph it writes: "Although the dynasty's independence was short-lived (c. 136 – 1379)...", Obviously year 136 is in error. I'll call editor. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 13:03, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The text from the Sufids article said 1361—I must have somehow lost the "1" when I was merging text from there. I've corrected the error. Sorry about that! A. Parrot (talk) 20:05, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
