Talk:Afrin, Syria

message: Hey while otherwise appreciating your efforts, your unilateral decision to merge the Afrin District and Afrin Canton articles into the town's article IMHO is a bad idea.Even if the overall article quality is on a stub-to-start level, you can't merge different entities just to make at least one of the articles comprehensive enough. The Afrin district consists of a multitude of municipalities. If the Efrin article is too short we will have to cover the topic more thoroughly, or accept that it currently has to remain a stub. What we simply can't do is throw in other stuff until it is long enough.If I get you right, one of your motivations was avoiding duplication. Now while that's a fine motivation, your approach is very much flawed and in fact leads to more, not less text duplication. It won't take long until the articles are recreated, as you can already see on the Afrin District article.It is worth discussing whether Afrin Canton can be considered the successor of Afrin district, so the district might be merged into the canton. But for now I have to revert your changes and will try my best to recover your textual improvements. Regards, --PanchoS (talk) 18:46, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello, I am a Turkish user and I was translating this article from English into Turkish. And in "History" part, I realised an information in the text is not exist in the source. The text says: « In a field northwest of the city, a 9th or 8th century BC Luwian stele (named the Afrin stele) was discovered... »
And I checked the source (3rd source) but there is no information about that stele was written in Luwian language. Can someone check it too? If there is no information about this language, we should add an {Citation needed} tag or delete the part about Luwian language. –AmilliansTalk 24 January 2018
:The source do not mention the language because all the inscriptions in it are Luwian. The source is vol 1 of the corpus of hieroglyphic luwian inscriptions. This is its page on the publisher website. https://www.degruyter.com/view/product/5104 Cheers.--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 16:40, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
