Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 04:44, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tiwanaku

Not sure why you are dubious of the word empire. Tiwanaku Empire is actually linked in the article. Doug Weller talk 13:53, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Doug Weller, whether Tiwanaku was an empire or not is still debated and there are different theories about it. It says so in the article itself that the empire label might be misleading and the term "state" more commonly used and is relatively undisputed. Using Western notions of an “empire,” it is difficult to understand what Tiwanaku was, since Tiwanaku was significantly different from ancient empires such as those in the Middle East; Therefore scientists invent new terms like pulsating ceremonial urbanism or festival city (see Vranich, Alexei. "Monumental perceptions of the Tiwanaku landscape." Political landscapes of capital cities (2016): 181-211, p. 189); William Isbell is calling Tiwanaku Polity or state which might be a more appropriate term; I also think we should move the page Tiwanaku Empire to Tiwanaku State.

Interesting. You’d need an RFC for a move. Doug Weller talk 22:01, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A bit like the debate over whether there was a Median empire. Doug Weller talk 22:19, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
