message: I think the statement "Not until 1808 would there be another Sultan of his calibre. Murat IV is known as the last great Sultan of the Ottoman Empire." needs to be backed up. "His strength was nearly phenomenal." sounds a little awkward too. /The Phoenix 19:57, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Murad IV and Abdulhamid II were the latest great emperors of the Ottoman State. This means that "1808" is a wrong claim because Abdulhamid II's reign started on August 31, 1876. With respect, Deliogul 20:11, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry I forgot Mahmud Khan(his reign was started in 1808) but still Mahmud II was a smooth reformer more than a person who controls everthing with force. With respect, Deliogul 22:46, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I have added back the paragraph on Murad IV's military exploits—which was moved by OttomanReference to another article—on the grounds that this article, Murad IV, should not neglect information relevant to the subject/person covered. The article is (at least at the current time) short enough that it is not overwhelming the reader, which is the general reason to start shunting information off to other articles (v. Wikipedia:Long article layout), and any reader coming to this page and wishing to find here any information directly relevant to Murad IV should—I believe—be able to find it here. —Saposcat 06:31, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We have to mention his military success here. Only the re-invasion of Bagdad proved that he was a successful commander(actually the latest Sultan to be successful on the battlefield). With respect, Deliogul 20:13, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

message: There are two separate claims on the cause of death. Western sources claim Murad IV drank alcohol even though he outlawed alcohol and punished people for it, and he died of cirrhosis of the liver. The ottomans claim that he died of gout. Who's more likely to be right?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.150.111.130 (talk) 15:10, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Hello I added the following information earlier. Murad IV was known having affairs with both men and women.http://www.aksam.com.tr/roportaj/osmanliyi-kadinlar-batirmadi/haber-169876 In his Iran campaign he brought the commander of Revan Castle Emirgûneoğlu Tahmasp Kulu Khan to Istanbul, changed his name to Yusuf Pasha and made a garden namely "Feridun Bahçesi" for him. According to Dimitri Kantemir and Eremya Çelebi Murad IV was constantly meeting the well known homosexuals of time Yusuf Pasha, Musa Çelebi and Silahtar Mustafa Pasha in "Feridun Bahçesi".http://www.radikal.com.tr/yazarlar/ayse-hur/elinde-tesbih-evinde-oglan-dudaginda-dua-1159964/

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Murad IV's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Sakaoğlu":
From Mehmed III: 
From Mustafa I: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 06:13, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

The fire, which spread from three branches to the city. One arm lowered towards the sea. He returned from Zeyrek and walked to Atpazan.
