thread_title: Reference to Armenian language

message: The article states that the Urartians are also known as Chaldeans. Are these the same Chaldeans of the Chaldean Dynasty?

thread_title: Chaldean?

message: 'Its prevalence is unclear. While some believe it was probably dominant around Lake Van and in the areas along the upper Zab valley,[2] others believe it was spoken by a relatively small population who comprised a ruling class.[3]'
This doesn't make sense - languages are always originally majority languages of some area. Even assuming that the Urartian speakers were just an elite around Lake Van, they still must have come from some area where they were the majority before they imposed their rule on the populations around Lake Van. I suspect that the article is cited incorrectly, so I've demanded a quotation.--79.100.144.23 (talk) 02:14, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  A small population who comprised a ruling class? 

message: Greetings fellow Wikipedians! I believe the wording of the introduction of this article is imprecise in its nomenclature — Lake Van is not in the “Armenian Highlands” area of Turkey, but rather in the historic are known as the Armenian Highlands, part of which -the part where Lake Van is situated- is in modern-day state of Turkey. I will edit to reflect this for now, though please feel free to further discuss/edit the relevant bit, should you believe it beneficial. Cheers! 213.205.241.112 (talk) 17:10, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

If the implication is that he didn't want to be a director of a largely Roman Catholic club, why would that be a problem if he was already happily playing for them? If Finlay, his fiancee, was Catholic, even more reason to think there could be no sectarian dilemma for him. If she and her father were protestant and the directorship (as seems to be implied) was offered on the basis of his influence at Celtic, that's further reason why it would be odd for him to feel he had to refuse on the grounds of religion.

message: The Japanese version of this article transliterates his name as あらかい (Arakai), rather than "Arakabi"

message: I think this is not an entirley fair statement, the compnay was still a very successful outfit, especially as a family business, when Ellerman bought it. It was heading for harder times, but if not for the personnel troubles it probabaly would not have been sold to Ellerman anyway.

:I think the point in the source is the family was at dispute with itself, a common fate of family companies by the third generation, not that it was in financial difficulties, and you have misinterpreted my precis of this.
