Talk:Rumelia

message: Today the word "Rumeli" is sometimes used to indicate the part of Turkey which is in Europe. -- Anyone know exactly how big that area (European Turkey) is in terms of square kilometers?  Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.219.41.226 (talk • contribs)

thread_title:  Rumeli Today 

message: As I've just discovered, there are currently separate articles for Rumelia, Rûm, and Rûm Province, Ottoman Empire. Should the first two not be merged? (One's just a more latinized version of the other, as far as I can tell.) QuartierLatin1968  19:47, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge with Rum & Rum Province

message: Is it "Rumeli" or "Rumelia"?  Rumeli seems to be the word with the translation, however even the map says Rumelia, and having the first line not agree with the page title, the map, and whatever else is rather confusing, especially when there's not even mention of it also being called Rumelia anywhere in the intro.  If there're no complaints about Rumelia, I'll change it to match, I just don't want to go starting an edit war if there's some reason for the difference, since it seems there's already been a bit of discussion about other names. -Bbik 03:54, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Rumeli is the actual term used in Turkish (and Greek). Rumelia is a latinized version of the name, used in Western Europe (hence the use on the map). Both names are practically interchangeable in English. Since someone already changed the name in the intro, I think the current version is OK. Regards, Cplakidas 08:37, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well that certainly explains why there'd be confusion.  I imagine the "Rumeli"'s in the last paragraph of the intro are also interchangeable, right?  I think I'm going to see if a bit of quick cleanup can help clear it all up. -Bbik 08:54, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just seen it. I'm changing it now. --Chapultepec 09:08, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Or to put it another way, Rumelia is the actual term used in English to denote the area called Rumeli in Turkish. (Today, anyway. It used to be called "Turkey in Europe" more often than not.) — LlywelynII 13:05, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Name Part 2

message: Italic text Just some points of intrest.On the rumelia map,you will notice that although not so visible .on the Turkish side..the word ANATOLIA is printed to DONATE the country or turkish empire. AS we all might know at one point in history the empire of turkey was also known as ANATOLIA..the INTRESTING point is the word ANATOLIA is greek.which  means THE EAST.(anatwly).But just as intresting is the fact that the TURKS named greece as RUMELIA. NOW WAS that a gesture of UNITY ...?     THE OTHER POINT OF INTEREST..IS THE WORD ROMEUS. ask any greek about the fall of constantinople and what ever the end of the discussion is they will always finish off . With (kai ego romeus emai)= meaning and i also am a ROMEUS!..meaning (I AM GREEK).BUT the meaning goes down deeper as to verify that CONSTANTINOPLE will never be forgotten. AND to identify THAT as long as one declares them selves as  ROMEUS the OROTHODOX RELEGION WILL NEVER DIE..NOR MORE IMPORTANLY THE   GREEKS (HELLENES) THEM SELVES as a ETHNOS. IT DOES not matter wich part of the world a greek may settle they always take their  ETHNOS with them.BY USING  the word romeus they are declaring !!!  Name  us what  you want  we know who we are..

replies: text: Failed code whilst pointlessley ranting about something that happened centuries ago = hilarity. Anyway, another REAL point of interest is that there was a Sexton Blake story written/set around 1906/7 in which the King of Roumelia has to send the crown jewels to a vienese banker, from whom they are stolen. Weather the region had it's own king at that time, i don't know. 86.145.229.205 (talk) 20:21, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The decision above was the right one about not merging Rumelia with Rum & other administrative divisions, but see discussion at Ottoman territories in Europe about merging that article with this one. — LlywelynII 13:08, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, read through the Turkish page... While the territory was originally identical, after the 17th century, "Rumelia" was only applied to some of Turkey's European holdings. So, nevermind. We just need to clean up this article a bit to clarify that. — LlywelynII 13:35, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Mosque have no nationality. There was no Slovenia when this mosque existed. There was only Austria-Hungary. Picture is interesting but I don't see why is it related to Rumelia?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 10:30, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Rumeli (in Turkish) < "Romania" ("The land of the Romans", but later it just became a geographic name.) The Old European maps show Rumelia as "Romania". Böri (talk) 13:00, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The article already explains this. What is the suggestion? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 07:13, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  For example, we know that Thrace means that "the land of the Thracians", but today Thrace/Trakya is just a geographical name! The Ancient Thracians are not living in Thrace today! Rumeli means "The land of the Romans", but today it is just a geographical name. Regards,Böri (talk) 08:44, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rumeli < Romania 

message: The Greek surname Roumeliotis comes from a bastardisation of the spelling of this region and there are many descendents from the now Turkish region with this last name. There is quite a significant number of people within Greece with this surname also where it is akin to a "Smith" or "Brown" last name --124.186.119.250 (talk) 19:59, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

message: Really. Every second article that crosses cultural boundaries to do with Turkey has a pro-Turkish bias on Wikipedia. What in the name of Allah gets in people's heads that they're lacking in proudness of their own culture that they have to claim everything to do with another country's or regions culture? 
Can someone please explain to me what is going on? --101.179.104.172 (talk) 05:48, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

message: I removed the two following sentences, complete with parens and bold, from the main text where they seemed misplaced. It's about the many denominations of the Eastern Roman Empire.

:(This is incorrect, Europeans referred to it as Imperium Graecorum or Lands of the Greeks, the Slavs especially.)
