Talk:Anahit

message: The Anahit article places the cult in Medean or early Achaemenid times. This is a touch too early since the temple at Eriza/Erez in Acilisene and other signs of Armenian Anahit are first attested in the 2nd century BCE. 
Under those circumstances, I suggest a rewording to say "late Achaemenid times or early Parthian times (ca. 4th-3nd century BCE)" -- Fullstop 14:15, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur. I believe it's there because Iranic influence on Armenia began with the Medean/Scythian invasion, unless we consider the chnace that there was contact between proto-Armenians and the Indo-Aryan Mittani ruling class. Anyhow, "late Achaemenid times or early Parthian times (ca. 4th-3nd century BCE)" is a sure bet.--Eupator 15:28, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Minor correction suggestion

message: In Traditions of the Magi by Albert de Jong (online version here), de Jong states:  "The third divinity mentioned by name is Anāhitā, who is of course Iranian. The equation of Anāhitā with Aphrodite points to Berossus as his source, because Berossus (and Herodotus Histories 1.131 in a mistaken way) is the only literary source to equate Anahita with Aphrodite." (pg 247)  "In the Greek literary and epigraphical texts, Anāhitā is identified with different goddesses. Herodotus and Berossus identify her with Aphrodite, most authors and most inscriptions with Artemis and some with the Mother of the gods." (pg 269).  Now, as I don't to get into a WP:synth issue, I just present that as what I have found supporting the claim about Berossus.--Vidkun (talk) 14:38, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sourcing Berossus, clearing up claim about Artemis 

message: Dear participants, I would like to know your opinion on the fact that in the Azerbaijani language Wikipedia the article about Anahit (there named as Anais), an Armenian deity of fertility and maternity, is named in several sentenses of the named article only as "Armenian goddess of prostitution". The content of the Azerbaijani article may be translated into English with the help of Google translator. I would like to see your opinions relating to WP rules that may permit the existance of such a WP article in general, irrespective of the language this division exists. Thank you in advance for your explanations and opinions, --Zara-arush (talk) 17:10, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I have discussed the great ideas of User Gulustan, based on Cesare Lombroso, and there is no need to do it again. Now I am waiting for the reply of Azerbaijani project Administration and the opinion of the users in English Wikipedia, because they seem more qualified in the matters of ancient cults than User Gulustan, judging of the articles and comments, relating to ancient deities, in English Wikipedia, --Zara-arush (talk) 00:31, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Azerbaijani project of English wikipedia has no relation with Azerbaijani wikipedia. I think you are wasting your time here. You should look for good sources and edit Azerbaijani wikipedia if you think it's wrong. --Quantum666 (talk) 05:27, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not know Azerbaijani, so I am not able to make any edits in Gulustan's work. The sources are at in the English and Russian language articles. The rules for the sources are the same in all WP projects and chapters. A psychiatrist is not the proper authority for an article in Ancient deities of fertility. It is my point of view, so I addressed to Azerbaijani language administration to enter the proper edits in their article. Here I needed the opinions of the community for stating the neutral point of view, --Zara-arush (talk) 16:30, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

text: Thanks to everyone, who assisted in the solution of this matter. The content and the article were deleted. I am sure it was worth to pass through this experience. Best wishes, --Zara-arush (talk) 23:19, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

text: Anais article in Azerbaijani language Wikipedia with its abusive content was recovered proving that what is wrong in Azerbaijani Wikipedia is not my fantasy, --Zara-arush (talk) 11:12, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
