Talk:Gyumri

message: Wasn't it the Turks who called the city "Gumru"? I remember reading somewhere that the correct name of the city is supposed to be "Kumayri" and that after independence, residents decided to call it "Gyumri" because "Kumayri" phonetically sounded too much like the Armenian expression "Kou mayri" which means "Your mothers'". I'm not sure if this is at all accurate, but the thing about the city name sounding like the expression rings true. Hakob 02:38, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have heard that too :) To be honest I'm not sure if it's an urban legend or not. Considering that Gegharkunik was never changed to different name because of what it sounds like i'm guesing it's just an urban legend.--Eupator 21:14, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Turks use Gumru/Gümrü, it doesn't mean anything in Turkish as much as I know but Gümrük means Customs.--Kagan the Barbarian 11:07, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It was called Gumru when it was part of the Ottoman Empire, but that doesn't mean the name is Turkish in origin. C'mon, tell all Eupator, what does "Gegharkunik" sound like! Meowy 16:58, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Dear 85.107.45.145. The marked towns were in Western Armenia, from where some Armenians emigrated during the 1826-28 war. They became "Turkish" cities after the Armenian Genocide. So pls discuss your postfactual edits here.  Andranikpasha (talk) 09:53, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

message: This phrase is misleading. It comes afterÄrabian regime" and at once it ecame Part of the Russian empire under which it developed. Why is intentionally kept quiet about its Iranian Period? Becoming part of the Russian ampire after the Russo-Persian wars assumes that it was part of Iran=Persia. History should be neutral and not written in a anationalistic way. I have also said this in a number of occasion to editors from republic of Azerbaijan--Babakexorramdin (talk) 16:34, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gyumri continued to develop in the 19th century, when, along with its surroundings, it became part of Russia, as a result of the Russo-Persian War (1804-1813).  

message: There is a gap in the history section, which is more than a thousand years. Could somebody who has sources improve the section? --Seksen iki yüz kırk beş (talk) 15:24, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gap 

message: I think the part about the universities and institutions of higher education in Gyumri is too short. Maybe we could try to add some detailed information about the universities (faculties, research areas, etc.). A list of all universities would be nice to have. Afterwards, maybe we could add an individual entry for each university. It would be really nice, if I could find some students from Gyumri. --Dvin (talk) 15:55, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Interfase added an inappropriate photo of an insignificant (less than 4%) ethnic minority of a town to support Azeri territorial claims. Editors should exercise discretion and rely on Talk pages when images may be controversial or promotional. If the addition of an image is challenged by another editor, it was not uncontroversial. 188.255.44.254 (talk) 14:59, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Too much people (150000) are living in Gyumri to put photoes of every 1000 here. 1000 is a little number for that and nothing else. be sure I have no problems with Azeris. 188.255.44.254 (talk) 15:23, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you understand the difference between historical photo and photo of the modern population of the town? --Interfase (talk) 15:25, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Why this "historical" Azerbaijani postcard is not dated? 188.255.44.254 (talk) 15:26, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not Azerbaijani postcard. This is a postcatd of the Russian Empire. See description (written with pre-reform orthography). It was made before 1917. --Interfase (talk) 15:30, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Before 1917 is not a date (nor written on the card). It is not dated (while almost every Russian postcard was correctly dated to be used by post) and even a fake a think. 188.255.44.254 (talk) 15:35, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I see you started to say some absurd arguments. First. you removed this photo saying that it is unsignificant, now you say that the postcard is a fake. This discussion is useless. Any discussion with anonimous, who just want to remove images, is useless. I noted administrators about your vandalism actions. --Interfase (talk) 15:46, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Discussion at talk is necessary if you're going to add a controversial photo with many issues: 1) it is redundant, 2) it is not dated, 3) the publisher is not known. Every postcard has a publisher, Russia is not a publisher. 188.255.44.254 (talk) 15:58, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

text: And? It's not a reason to remove historical image. --Interfase (talk) 17:47, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: See WP:WEIGHT and WP:NPOV. If you think you're right there are more civil ways to solve this dispute and edit warring is not one of them. --Երևանցի talk  18:42, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

message: All:
Hello.  I read through the talk page and noticed the Classical Orthography had been added to the references at the bottom of the page; that's a positive step forward.  There is only one change I made and I accidentally performed the changed without being logged in.  The Classical Orthography actually uses Կ instead of Գ, so I altered the spelling to be Կիւմրի.
