Confusing adjective?[edit]

The article states that the mount is outside "modern Armenia". I think it would be better to say "current" because "modern" could be taken to mean the modern period (1492-1789). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.71.160.34 (talk) 12:29, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Citation Needed and it reversion[edit]

To Yerevantsi, I don't hold grudge against your or your ethnicity's background. But judge from your name that implied you are an Armenian, I don't see any urgency of you to always reverted or undo ^{[citation needed]} that I put on the introduction of Ararat's page. If we wanted to improve this article, we need to put the citation for what can be considered as "claim". By giving ^{[citation needed]} I by no mean willingly move and motivate to vandalise or undermine Armenian topics in en.wiki. Perhaps, instead of keeping reverse it, you can put the source that backs the claim up. Thank you, շնորհակալություն, shnorhakalutyun. Mfikriansori (talk)

Glaciation name[edit]

Using the North American name (Wisconsinan) for the last glaciation seems a bit odd for a mountain in West Asia. There might be one for Asia, but if not I'd use the Alpine W\"urm which is at least geographically closer. Or just say Last Glaciation. 2A01:CB08:4E:8A00:74AA:1A08:58DC:A2C3 (talk) 11:51, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't "Origin of the tradition" be "Origin of the folklore"?[edit]

Or something similar, maybe "Origin of the mythology"? Banderson1962 (talk) 06:38, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mentioning of Kurdistan[edit]

Yerevantsi, you have reverted my edit, claiming all three of my sources are unreliable and saying that I am using nationalistic terms. "these aren't reliable sources, "nothern Kurdistan" is a nationalist term implying the existence of a "Greater" Kurdistan"-Yerevantsi. Karkafs Desiderium (talk) 03:02, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article on Kurdistan says; "or Greater Kurdistan [...]" so yes Greater Kurdistan does exist, but no its not Nationalistic. It simply is another term for Kurdistan as a whole. Karkafs Desiderium (talk) 03:07, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I confess to not having any detailed knowledge of the geographical issues here, but looking at the page Northern Kurdistan, I see it is defined as "the southeastern part of Turkey". Given that northern Kurdistan is part of Turkey, it seems redundant to refer to something as being in "eastern Turkey and northern Kurdistan". It would be like saying that something is in "the western United States and California". Why is it not sufficient to say that it is in eastern Turkey? What additional information is conveyed by saying that it is also in northern Kurdistan? CodeTalker (talk) 03:18, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good question, I am sorry if it was not clear previously. Mentioning "Northern Kurdistan" in addition to "eastern Turkey" is not redundant because it specifically acknowledges the Kurdish identity and cultural significance of the region. This is important for recognizing the historical and political context of the Kurdish people in that area. Look at Human rights of Kurdish people in Turkey, Anti-Kurdish sentiment and Xenophobia and discrimination in Turkey (specifically Against Kurds). Karkafs Desiderium (talk) 03:34, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also while Nothern Kurdistan is in Turkey the rest of Kurdistan is not, so there is also that wich goes missing when not mentioning it. Karkafs Desiderium (talk) 03:36, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall my point is that you would be erasing Kurdish presence in the Ararat region, i know that Kurds are partially mentiond in other parts of ther article but this does not convey the same meaning as saying "This is in Kurdistan". Karkafs Desiderium (talk) 03:41, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
