Talk:Abdülmecid I

message: the language used in the third paragraph "In compliance ..." is very hard !! i know this is not the simple english wikipedia , but still , i can hardly get the meaning of the article!!
:as a native speaker, I find the paragraph to be not terribly well-written, but basically easily comprehensible. I can see how someone who is not a native speaker might find it difficult, though. john k 21:53, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

message: In the first place, the ordinal should  be used, because there was an Abdul Mejid II.  In the second place, I've almost always seen him as "Abdul Mejid", not "Abdülmecid," in English  sources.  john k 00:06, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Per WP:CHALLENGE, I removed the latter part of the introductory paragraph as it does not cite any sources (in-line). For others not familiar with how citations work, please see WP:CITE for information on why we need to cite sources and how to do so. ParthikS8 (talk) 18:22, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

message: The inflation doesn't add up. They say that he wanted to donate £10,000(or £1,000,000 ($1,200,000) in today's money). But then they say he donated £1000 which they say has the equivalent value if $2.4 million? We need to fix that Trajan anntonnius (talk) 03:34, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

message: Slightly concerned that the very first paragraph announces that Abdul Mejid's reign 'was notable for the rise of nationalist movements within the empire's territories' and that he was concerned to stop 'rising nationalist movements within the empire.' Arab 'nationalism' was a feature of the 20th century and should not be talked of until the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire following World War 1 and the setting up of the British and French League of Nations Mandates. 
It is acceptable to talk of 'proto-nationalism' in the 19th century, though some historians object even to this term as too teleological and deterministic.  There was talk of independence from Ottoman rule in this period, but only in select Arab intellectual circles, not the large portions of the population denoted by a 'nationalist' movement. Moreover, such schemes were incredibly vague as to exactly what 'independence' would entail and almost all envisaged not complete separatism but some form of semi-independence within the Ottoman imperial framework! 
I'm not an authority on the 19th century political trajectories of all the Ottoman provinces, but I would direct future authors to Carol Hakim's 'The Origins of the Lebanese National Idea: 1840-1920' which is a compelling demonstration of these arguments in the case of Mount Lebanon (until 1860 part of the Ottoman governate of Saida). Her work is fairly recent, but I'm sure you'll find ample application of her ideas to other Ottoman territories if you go looking...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.185.137.142 (talk) 08:15, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
