Talk:Alqosh

message: Note that handbooks of manuscript literature habitually refer to the monastery of Rabban Hormizd at Alqosh as "Notre-Dame des Semences."  This is probably because most Chaldean Syriac literature was catalogued by Addai Scher, who published his material in French.  For scholars to find this page, therefore, it must have some material in this name.
BGN native name: Alqōsh; variants: Algōsh; Al Qush

message: It is ridicules having two different spellings for our village. We need to settle on a single form of spelling for Alqush. This article contains many variations that need to be fixed. Therefore, we need to make a vote on a standard spelling that can be a standard.
I say we go with Alqush.

replies: text: Alright, thank you for the replies. Also, thank you Chaldean for the Google search numbers, that's pretty smart. I'll change it accordingly soon, unless someone will change it before me. Karam Bollis 06:06, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

message: After several attempts to state the true legislative status of Alqosh, the user is being relentless in his attempts to attach Alqosh to the Kurdistan Region and make it legitimate in some kind of revanchist effort re: Kurdish territory. Even the sources he has presented all point to Alqosh being assigned as a sub-district of Tel Kaif from Sheikhan in 1970. This is its true status today regardless of the fact that it was signed off by the Ba'athi regime. The Kurdistan Region was also signed into existence via the Autonomy Accord between Kurdish leaders and the same regime in 1970, but it doesn't mean that its legislative status as an autonomous region should be revoked because Ba'athists oversaw its new designation.
This is picking and choosing from a Kurdish nationalist perspective and one which we should all reject on this town's Wiki - a town with no resident Kurds whatsoever. You cannot accept some things because they benefit Kurds and others because they don't. That is not how a Wiki page is run.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheodorLewin (talk • contribs) 13:40, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: What are you talking about? Why should it not been mentioned that Kurdistan has controlled the town since 1970? Again, it seems like you removed it because it doesn't fit your POV. --Ahmedo Semsurî (talk) 13:44, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: the KDP has controlled the town since 2014, not 1970. Even the MEE source you yourself cited reads "Although Alqosh is, on maps anyway, part of Baghdad-controlled Iraq, the KRG's security forces have effectively controlled the town since 2014." You can't even read your own sources. If you continue, I will have to report you for peddling Kurdish nationalist POV on a page that has no connection to it.

text: Alqosh was annexed from the sub-district of Shaikhan and became a subdistrict of Talkef in 1970 (Republican decree no. 55) It has an area of 508 sq/km and a population or 22,256 according to the 1977 census. It increased to 27,233 in the 1987 census. Again, it seems that reality doesn't fit your POV. --Ahmedo Semsurî (talk) 14:04, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

message: Please discuss, instead of just shouting: "Very obvious POV", "Disruptive edits", "Politicised conjecture", "Inductive reasoning". etc. For an apparent newcomer, you are extraordinarily familiar with expressions like "the mods". I told you I was seeking assistance for both of us on the Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard. So why don't you respond there on the topic?  Bealtainemí (talk) 08:46, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
