[edit] Comments
I put the contradict tag as well, because there seems to be a weird jump from Hitite to Greek. If it were a very similar Hitite name, how did it derive from the similar Greek word? I suppose the Greek name derived from the Hitite one as well. So does anyone have sources for this?
- I didn't get the point. Why the title of this article is "Sivas, Turkey" rather than simply "Sivas"? Saygılarımla, Deliogul 22:00, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] About my efforts on the article
First I expanded the Sights section and added some of the most popular places in the city there. Then I made a research about the origin of the name "Sivas" but I saw that, nearly all of the city names in Turkey have a meaning or a background, the name "Sivas" seems to has no historical connection. Rather than simply erasing the Hittite and Greek origin claims, I decided to sum them up in a section and showed them as "claims". I also added two new images to the article. I hope I could improve the article. My ancestors were from Sivas so I think I completed my duty. Saygılarımla, Deliogul 16:09, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
