Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Bin Tepe you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of UndercoverClassicist -- UndercoverClassicist (talk) 11:03, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You deleted the reference of the following text: "Around this time, large-scale revolts took place in several parts of the eastern Mediterranean. Attempts to overthrow existing kingdoms were made as a result of economic and political instability by surrounding people, who were already plagued with famine and hardship." I did not put that text in the article, it was another editor, but I found the source recently and I decided to place it there anyway. Of course that source is not too reliable, but it's the only source. So putting "citation needed" tag is useless as there is no other source as far as I know. Maybe the solution is to change all the phrase and find a new reference. --Carlos Eduardo Aramayo B. (talk) 03:50, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for your reply. If the only source that supports that text isn't reliable, that would be reason to simply remove the text. I do think the article would benefit from a characterization of the LBA/EIA transition, and for that you might look at recent(ish) work by Guy Middleton and Oliver Dickinson. (I might eventually do so myself but I'm short on time at the moment.) Botterweg14 (talk) 16:45, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article Bin Tepe you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Bin Tepe for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

Hi Botterweg14, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! Elli (talk | contribs) 13:58, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I will use the tools sparsely but carefully! Botterweg14 (talk) 23:17, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for adding a link to Ú (cuneiform) in the article on Croesus, much appreciated, but I am still not clear what "U₂" refers to, or what the combination "Ú/U₂" means. Can you further clarify, please? BobKilcoyne (talk) 06:07, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Heya, thanks for following up! U₂ is just an alternative notation for Ú. If it would be clearer, I would support removing the "U₂". Botterweg14 (talk) 18:59, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, and certainly that would be clear from my point of view. BobKilcoyne (talk) 06:19, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha, done, and thanks! Botterweg14 (talk) 22:54, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

REGARDING PARTIAL REVERSION OF ASSUWA

==History==

It is last mentioned during the reign of Ramesses III where it refers to "Assuwan allies" of Twentieth Dynasty Egypt.^[6]

NOTE: Edited & merged w/ Location section

--Permanentaccounts (talk) 17:01, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I agree that the article is pretty weak but most of what you've copy-pasted here is actually still in the article. Among these bits, I removed the part about the Keftiu since it's sourced to a book from the 1940s (=very out of date), and we have better more recent evidence for placing Assuwa in the west. I removed the claim that Assuwa was a dependent of Pylos since that's a very surprising claim that would need clear verification and I wasn't able to verify it in the given source. But I'd be happy to have it added back if I made a mistake or if you can find another source for the claim. Botterweg (talk) 04:00, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe the chronological appearance of Assuwa doesn't belong in a section headed "Location?" I did that because my rework was going from the general to the specific. But now I've reworked the deleted material to address your concerns and to preserve the mention of Assuwa in three different culture's records over the three hundred years of its known existence. A brief synopsis of the changes:

1. The 1940s Keftiu/Isy translation in the second paragraph is replaced w/ one from 2006.

2. The third paragraph no longer characterizes the relationship between Pylos & Assuwa. Added Wikipedia link to Pylos.

3. You didn't say anything about the other three deleted paragraphs so they remain the same, except changing the terminus ad quem in accordance with the date of the records.

--Permanentaccounts (talk) 00:45, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Additional changes: add sourced text to Location, additional sources to same, consolidate language

Assuwa is called Isy in Egyptian records per the statement in Name.

curprev 22:46, 18 November 2024 Botterweg talk contribs 9,782 bytes −469 A couple problems here: (1) Redford describes the Assuwans as allies of *each other* not of Egypt (2) Redford doesn't use the association with Lukka to locate Assuwa (3) Redford does mention that the Lukka were a member of the confederation but other sources actually question whether this is the right reading of the text undothank

Looking for alternate translation. If confirmatory will rework.
