Talk:Atropatene

message: It's name was Atropatene or Atropatgan. During centuries it has been converted to "Aazarbaaygaan" as the word aatro converted to aazar in various other combinations. By the conquest of Arabs, since they couldn't pronounce "gaf" it became Aazarbaaijan. So it seems by the arrival of Turkic tribes the name have not undergone any other changes. Please verify this by encyclopedia iranica or encyclopedia britanica or the encyclopedia of Columbia university. Also Ahmad Kasrvi has explained similar evolution.
: I added back Wikiproject Azeri, because it covers not only Azerbaijan republic, but also Azerbaijani people, plus the territory of Azerbaijan republic was at times part of this region too. Grandmaster 09:29, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Since the name is etymologically ancestor of Azerbaijan, its okay.  I am also adding armenia in since the kingdom bordered the armenia and there was interactions (territorial conflicts as well as trade)..--alidoostzadeh 00:14, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Please, provide verifiable reference that Atropatena was geographically extending to present-day Iranian Kurdistan. The reference about connection to Iranian Azerbaijan is added to the page. Thanks. Atabəy (talk) 22:07, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be more useful to ask "what is meant by Iranian Kurdistan"? If the aim is to illustrate the location of Atropatena by relating it to territory within present-day Iran, then I think using the actual names of Iranian regions would be the best way to do it.

message: Please do not add modern language names (modern Persian, Azeri, Kurdish, Armenian or etc) to the intro.  Obviously Old Persian/Avesta or something is fine.  That is typical wikipedia rule.  We cannot list the name of Atropatene in every relevant language of the region:Talysh,Tat, Persian, Kurdish, Azeri, Armenian and etc.  This is senseless nationalism and I will report the next person that does it to dbachmann.  --Khodabandeh14 (talk) 15:00, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

message: In the 'History' section I noticed several references to 'Media'.  Given that the acnient people of Persia were once known as "Medes", should this not be 'Medea'?131.81.200.92 (talk) 15:25, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

message: The recent edits by an editor who changes the flags seem quite odd, since Atropatene has nothing to do with modern Azerbaijani Republic. I would suggest everyone to come here and discuss the matter instead of edit-warring. Thanks.---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 21:22, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, how do you interpret that infobox parameter "Today part of"? In my opinion, it's better to remove it. Most articles about historical kingdoms and empires don't have it. --Wario-Man (talk) 22:33, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Agreed. The article's lead clearly states that Atropatene is mainly located in Iran, only a little part of it is in modern Azerbaijan Republic and has nothing to do with this modern country. the removal of this parameter may be a good compromise. Thanks.---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 22:53, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: My point is that parameter is vague and every user can have their own interpretation of it, for instance lands vs origins. As I said, other similar articles does not have it, e.g. Kingdom of Pontus. --Wario-Man (talk) 05:09, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  You're right about it. HistoryofIran removed it and it's fine for me. Thanks for the insight. Cheers.---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 10:16, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I will agree with this decision too, better to remove such a thing completely, so there's no future edit wars. -- Qahramani44 (talk) 04:19, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
