replies: text: Yes, according to Necdet Sakaoglu, there are two possible reasons for this nickname. Maybe other members of the royal family tried to kill him with a bow string(Kiriş in Turkish) or most commonly accepted possibility is the one I wrote on the top. The construction worker theory.

replies: text: As I said before, his nickname, Kirisci, wasn't given to him because he was a Executioner. So I'm deleting it. With respect, Deliogul 17:52, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have looked at the Sakaoglu reference as well and must revise the statement above. But before that I have looked at the Redhouse Buyuk Elsozlugu which gives the meanings of kiris as "(1) joist, beam, rafter, girder (2) catgut...(3) bowstring (of a shooting bow) 4...tendon". Thus the word kirisci refers to makers of bowstring and catgut (definitely not to joist etc. making at construction sites!!) According to Sakaoglu the reasons for getting the nickname of "kirisci" are "either when he was a young prince someone wanted to strangulate and kill him with a catgut-bowstring or that in order to hide himself from the threat of being killed by his brothers he got apprenticed with a bowstring maker". These have nothing to do with being a construction worker or executioner!! Sakaoglu states that his other nickname may be "kiri" which may be because "he was a good wrestler when young".Noyder (talk) 17:08, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

message: In the text, one can read:
Mahomet I. also completed the vast and magnificent mosque at Bursa, which his grandfather Murad I. had commenced
Are Mehmet and Mahomet the same? I would appreciate any reference to that effect. Thanks. Sphinxx 15:06, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mahomet or Mehmet 

message: There is a controversy about the date of birth of Mehmed I. There are various dates suggested. This article has three dates 1382/1387/1389 with 1389 emphasized. One authoritative Turkish historian, Necdet Sakaoglu, puts the birth date as early as 1373 and mentions that other suggested dates are 1375, 1379, 1386, 1390, 1391. This is curious since none of these are the dates stated in this article!! (Sakaoglu, N. (1999), Bu Mulkun Sultanlari Istanbul: Oglak p. 63). However, that same authority concludes that "it would be correct to admit that we do not know exactly the birth dates of Yildirim and his sons". Given this I have deleted the mention of his age at his death.Noyder (talk) 16:28, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Date of birth

message: Sitti Mukrime Hatun (born 1453) was the wife of Mehmed II not the wife of Mehmed I. Mehmed I had been dead for 32 years before she was even born. I 'll correct this in the article. She is also confused again with Emine Hatun as Mehmed I's wife and mother of Murad II in the Dulkadir article. Ibrahim4048 (talk) 19:13, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
