Talk:Hatra

message: read the UNISCO page http://whc.unesco.org/pg.cfm?cid=31&id_site=277 also http://www.atlastours.net/iraq/hatra.html

Firstly, the UNESCO site mentions Hatra as being "under the influence of the Parthian Empire" as well as being the "capital of the first Arab Kingdom" (also worth mentioning it does not name the kingdom). MARVEL, your edits removed any mention of "Parthian" and replaced it solely with "Arabian". 
Secondly, the AtlasTours site is a .net site that belongs to a travel and tourist agency. It is not a reliable source and completely ignores history by assuming it's an "Arab city" because it's in an Arab country. To put it crudely, they don't know what the hell they are talking about.
Basically, mentioning the city's Arab history is fine, but erasing any mention of it being non-Arab is not. Try to do more adding instead of subtracting. --334 01:52, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

message: When it comes to the Arabian city were only arab traces exist every one claim it, the city is fully arab and it does not have non-arab history it is just guessing!!, no need to mention other empires here this page should be about hatra not about other empires or kingdoms so this city is arabian and we have the right to mention exclusively the arab history of it this is a fact:hatra existed after the collapse of the Assyrian empire and mentioning other empires and nations is completely useless, some nations even "..." claimed the semite Elamite civilization and called it and called it "..." empire (fill in the empty).

The problem is that you make it seem that the only traces that exist are Arab traces by removing sources that say otherwise. As for the "we have the right to mention exclusively the arab history" comment, no you don't. The city has a non-Arab history as well which is certainly worth mentioning. Also, the sources you provided seem to contradict your beliefs about the city, with lexicorient opening with "Ruined city of the Parthian Empire" and atlastours (which I argued against previously) mentioning "it seems things started with a smallish Assyrian settlement." It seems to me that you pick and choose from your sources what suits your interests best and ignore everything else. --334 13:37, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  why is that 

message: Why there is no "Hatra" article, only a proposition to start it, while
in the "history" tab there is a long history of it? --CopperKettle 05:47, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Where is the article? 

message: Mainly to the anonymous user(s) who keeps reverting the list of gods so that the Arabian gods come first and claims "alphabetical order":
What exactly are you basing the alphabetical order off of; the names of the gods or the cultures they're from?
Either way,
*Allat
*Shamiyyah
*Shamash
*Nergal
*Hermes
*Atargatis
*(A-S-S-N-H-A)
or
*Arabian
*Sumerian
*Akkadian
*Greek
*Syro-Aramaean
*Mesopotamian
*(A-S-A-G-S-M)
are not alphabetical. Also, the rearranging of Shamash leaves the end looking like "...and (the Mesopotamian sun god)", which makes absolutely no sense. Please stop senselessly reverting simply because "Arabian" doesn't come first. --334 18:41, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
