just posted this... ...I hadn´t read the entire comments on this page until now. It is truly mind boggling how such partisan statements have been made here as if they were fact. This is preceisely what people hold against Wikipedia. I would urge the editor here to remove ALL uncited and unsourced material, and that would include any sources that refer to other books, by the usual suspects, or any but credible sources by professional writers and historians on THIS field...not by engineers or linguists or Assyriologists, Persian scholars, auto mechanics or chefs. The topic is "Assyrians"....and the section that I am most concerned with is the one which claims there are any alive to day. ...I ask again, what professional, historical evidence do you have for these claims? Wigram does not count...if this was a question about the American Civil War and a Talk page had comments on there by the "Sons Of The South" claiming that "it is proven that Lincoln hated the South and the war was a pretext for a vendetta", you would have to cite sources and they would have to be recognized by valid historians..not Southern Baptist ministers, or Fried Fish business owners, or school teachers. It happens that the question of modern Assyrian existence has limited interest among scholars but, there is ONE and the fact that Rafy dismissed him as an amateur throws a very unflatering light on the integrity and thoroughness of this site and the information here. I have sent letters of complaint to everyone I can think of and am hoping to hear that at least we can debate the issue. I am surprised that Rafy, after making one or two comments indicating that Joseph was wrong etc., has not seen fit to respond again, inspite of the number of posts. My usual experiance in these cases is that once challenged, modern Assyrians all of a sudden have no "time to waste" in further discussion. It seems this site was occupied early by nationalist partisans who´ve manged to fool the administration and now have a near-lock on editing their articles regarding modern assyrians...that is too bad and speaks volumes. --------------------- |
