Disambiguation link notification for July 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ottoman Imperial Harem, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mary Montagu. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 20:35, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gi DPL bot. I said in the talk page of Ottoman Imperial Harem that I was unsure which Mary Montagu the text was talking about. I did not recieve a response. Hummusapiens (talk) 07:00, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is it wrong to link to a disambiguation page? Hummusapiens (talk) 07:00, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to Armenia, Azerbaijan, or related conflicts, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Did I do something wrong? Hummusapiens (talk) 06:13, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adana

In your edit, you claimed Adana is derived from Atana [1]. I did a search in the book and the only information I could find about Atana is on page xiii. It just gives different versions of place names, in English, Ottoman, Turkish, and others. It doesn't say which one is the original and which one is the one the others derived from.

Bogazicili hello! I also saw it also in page XIII, since there was a Greek or Armeninan presence before an English/Turkish/Ottoman. I wrote this. Maybe I am mistaken to have done this? Hummusapiens (talk) 06:12, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. You shouldn't assume unless the source says so. For more information, see WP:Original research and WP:SYNTH. Adana could have been derived from Hittites or something older. Bogazicili (talk) 15:22, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, you're right. Thanks for pointing out the Wikipedia rules to me. Appreciated. Hummusapiens (talk) 06:18, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
